Good service, tasty coffee and even better pecan brioche. Happy customer.
Lovely food and service. I had the mushrooms on toast with potatoes on the side (very tasty) and a mochachino (meets a coffee connoisseur's standards anytime). We got to sit outside too which was nice (very rare on a sunny Saturday morning). However prices reflect Auckland prices so don't expect small town prices eventhough you're in Cambridge...
15% surcharge is not much. Try Auckland, they do a surcharge of 20% on public holidays and people are very happy to pay that for good food. My husband and I love the Deli, it's always worth the wait, no wonder so many people go there, it's always busy, great vibe.

This place is great! It's the only cafe I have been to Ian where service is at its best! Staff has not smiled so much than at the Deli! Everything is great here, if I lived closer I would have breakfast, lunch and dinner there!! Go Deli on the Corner!! A MUST stop for every local and traveler!
Really enjoyed the coffee and food, I was perturbed over the fact that it was a windy day and although we were inside the waitress clearing tables kept leaving the sliding door open( not the main entrance) and as my very elderly mother was with us it was a bit breezy and no we couldn't move, customers outside were having problems with the umbrellas collapsing. If I was still in the business I certainly would not turn away out of town customers at 5 minutes to 3 when there was food still in the display cabinets. This was a Sunday and yes I know the business hours but business is business. one did wonder what happened to the fabulous chicken pies that were removed from the cabinet. Would go again
My brother and i visited on November 14th at approx 11.30am you were busy but we were still treated with polite and very friendly service one word would describe this Cafe and its food and customer service excellent a great example for the hospitality industry where visitors both domestic and overseas are made to feel welcome with kiwi hospitality and good food
Fantastic, polite, happy bunch. We ladies ride motorbikes, & arrived in the midst of Market Day.A table was put aside for us. They were busy, service couldn't be better, food delicious, hot choccies superb. Definitely go back for a decent lunch next time. Hardest thing is choosing what to have ! ! ! !
New owners as of last week. What a relief. The staff look relaxed and happy. The music is background - not foreground pollution. Coffee is great, food range and standard better. Tables are getting cleared and cleaned promptly. I, for one, am returning as a regular, as are others I work with. Coffee cards are a great addition. The place is clean and organised. The yodelling and/or yelling from the kitchen area has stopped. We are wondering what else the new owners have in store for us. Good luck Petra, Johan and Renner.
We had lunch at the Deli today, it was brilliant, staff excellent at peak rush hour, coffee and hot chocolate just great too, I had a smoked chicken and apricot pie that was divine, (want the recipe) husband had a panini that was huge.... lovely salad on the side, and the staff really great, very fast and efficient service, our table had not been wiped clean, but they were rushed of their feet. One of the best lunch time eating places with great atmosphere in town.
Made a stop in Cambridge for some breakfast. Good food being offered, with a rather relaxed atmosphere. Coffee was nice as well.
On the day we had breakfast, they had some strawberries up for sale from a local farmer. I thought it was neat seeing local shops helping out the local community.
Wow, what a place The Deli on the Corner was. Had passed this café many times in the last week and this morning called in for breakfast. Alongside a great menu, there was also a very full food cabinet with lots of beautiful kai.
Service was excellent, and food arrived promptly, actually before the kāwhe which I didn't mind. Kai was scrumptious 😋 and those creamy mushrooms were definitely amazing. It was so nice to have an extra slice of toast to mop up all the gravy.
Kāwhe was perfect and accompanied by a little biscuit, which was a really nice touch. Smoothie was very good, too.
Well, it's worth visiting if you're in Cambridge, I know I will be back when next in town.
The food was absolutely great!
Quentin got the half breakfast - poached egg, kransky, bacon, mushrooms, toast, hash brown and tomatoes. Let me just say the mushroom was divine. There’s something different with the mushroom, it’s flavorful. Made us wonder if they used wild mushrooms.
I got the potato gratin. The poached egg was cooked to perfection. The potato gratin was crispy outside and soft inside.
We also got a flat white and caramel cappuccino and they were A grade.
Best part of the experience is getting to lounge outside under the Sunday sun while enjoying great acoustic music and the heart breakfast we got.
Quentin is reminded of his travels abroad and Sunday’s when he gets to take a rest and just relax.
And we get to do what we both love at the same time - people watch.
Friendly staff, great service, tantalising menu
Food looks really good. Son ordered fruit bowl, banana milkshake and farmhouse breakfast and I ordered the eggs Benedict. Fruit was fresh and ripe. Very delicious. Banana milkshake was the best I've tasted for a long time!
Unfortunately the scrambled eggs were closer to omelette and quite tasteless.
The hollandaise on my Benedict was almost tasteless and the breakfast muffin(? Not sure if it was supposed to be sourdough or plain muffin) was difficult to cut.
Delicious food, lovely coffee, great music. A+
Hubby had French Toast, it looked amazing. I ordered scrambled eggs with a side of mushrooms. Best I've had. 👌
Delicious chicken and cranberry wrap, big breakfast and lemon curd muffin. Hot drinks and service also excellent. Lots of choice, highly recommend
Wow, had their chicken and bacon salad special. It was amazing. A huge bowl of salad with a very generous serving of chicken and bacon, smothered in dressing and topped with gorgeous parmesan cheese. It is no surprise this little gem is always so busy. Highly recommended!
The marmite scroll was great, the Thai wrap had too much sauce.
Amazing sized cheese scones!!! They were extra tasty with a hint of pickles. Coffee was very nice as was the custard square & apple turnover. Good service & nice to sit outside & watch the town go by. Highly recommend.
