    Wally's Delicatessen is a quirky shop offering all kinds of boutique style food and drinks. It is a perfect shop for Christmas presents, stocking fillers or just for tasty food for home. There is an absolute massive variety of food. Loved especially the different pasta and also the canolli. The cheese counter was very impressive too. The meat counter had a really good variety. The staff were all very friendly and professional. Definitely recommend

    Great shop with a wide range of quality independent seemingly produce. Lots of great finds and tastes. Bit pricey, but to be expected.

    As an austrian, it was nice to eat a Sandwich and enjoy a nice coffee. Vegan cake is very good

    Whenever I'm in town I just have to visit. The food is mouthwatering. You can't get better authentic continental food in my opinion. The cafe is a must visit too! Just beware it gets busy but definitely worth the wait!

    If you like European food this would be a good place to eat when in Cardiff. This company sells a wide range of continental foods in the Delicatessen downstairs then serves some of that food upstairs. The staff were very friendly and the food was served promptly. One word of caution. The food shown on the website is not the same as now being served in restaurant. It is better to choose your food from the restaurant menu. The menu has a good variation but it is based on German and Dutch food. The food is not exactly the cheapest you might expect ( see my photo) but it is the experience.

    Brilliant. I went in for brunch enroute to Cardiff Bay. The deli is quality with amazing selection. Staff in the eating area were helpful polite & friendly as were the customers when I asked for directions. Food was wicked, fresh & well presented. Highly recommended.

    Great delicatessen, lovely little coffee shop upstairs with some authentic German cuisine! Staff are super friendly, food was great, such a wide selection of all sorts! A true treasure trove of delights!

    Absolutely magical shop. I used to come here when I was a kid and brought my partner to shop there and he loved it. You can find anything you want and more in this shop. It's so exciting to try new things. You pay for the quality of what you are getting, so prices are higher than usual but it's what you expect for the quality. The cafe upstairs is also very cute!

    What a delight this deli is. When I visit Cardiff I have to go in. The most likely place to find your dream food and drinks. The selection is incredible. This is why this shop has been in the arcade for so long. Olives, baclava, liquor galore. Chocolate and treats Take sometime to explore. So worth the visit.

    Although it was very busy during our visit, we were seen to very prompt and the staff seemed very friendly. The panettone we purchased was a fair price also.

    Just awesome, old school German deli in the centre of Cardiff with amazing food, legendary status and deserves it. They sell my favourite South African crisps and serve superb German fare, the frankfurters are fabulous

    The shop is great but the staff are not. Staff have zero knowledge on even their own brand coffee - basics such as whether it is suitable for a French press etc - and they were unfriendly and didn’t try to help

    My favourite stop in Cardiff. When I lived there it was half the size but has grown in the last ten years. Amazing meat and cheese, gorgeous bread. The pantry goods are also amazing if you're missing something continental.

    One of the best delis I have ever been to. Great meats, cheeses, etc. Wide range of drinks, I could spent ages just browsing!

    Outstanding store over the years, the cafe upstairs has been a frequent spot for us since it opened. I love their range.. they even stock Mahon cheese, literally unseen outside of the Balearic Islands.

  • 4/5 Genevieve M. 1 year ago on Google
    The place I go regularly to find french cheese and french cured meat. These are authentic and good quality products. If they don't have something, they will try their best to order it for you. It can seem a bit pricey, but I'd rather eat less but good quality.

  • 5/5 Darren N. 1 year ago on Google
    What a lucky find this Deli and Coffee House was. Ate in the Cafe and the coffee and cheese platter which we had was amazing quality with lovely tasting cheese selection. These type of places are unfortunately so rare to find nowadays.

    Delicious place to visit and great 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 cheese selection 😋

  • 4/5 Walkin' J. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic selection of Italian meats and Welsh cheeses, including the King of Caerphillys, Gorwydd. Incredible selections of all sorts of delicatessen and whiskies. All pretty high-end prices, though, so you come away with less than you'd like simply because you can't afford to spend that much.
