Deli Boutique

Breakfast baguette was nice minus the herbs
Service excellent
The bread is excellent
Coffee very good

Deli Boutique is not a delicatessen which offers a huge range of cured meats or cheeses. Instead, it is more of a cafe with tasty pastries to enjoy in the morning followed by more substantial snacks later in the day. I can certainly recommend the croque monsieur in the later category and the minature pain au raisin in the former. Enjoying these treats is further enhanced if you can grab a seat in the small garden area at the rear of the restaurant. On a warm summer day it feels more like somewhere you might holiday in France than St. John's Hill.

The sole negative is the coffee which is, for my palate, well below par. On one occasion my double espresso was more akin in size to an americano. On another my macchiato arrived looking more like a latte. This could be forgiven if the coffee itself was top notch. However, my espresso tasted both burnt and bitter. Consequently, I now order drinks that come from a bottle on my visits!

Nice French cafe - good for light(ish) meals to eat in or take away. Think £5 for a baguette sandwich, £7.50 for a croque monsieur or similar, £4 for a cake or piece thereof. Brunch/breakfast is also good, and there are a small selection of French grocery items to choose from. Not especially cheap, mind, but a good place to linger on a lazy afternoon.

One of the best neighborhood spots in Wandsworth / Clapham Junction area. The owner is a lovely french man which is reflected in everything about this place - from the delicious sandwiches on true baguettes, to the fantastic cups of coffee, to the relaxed "country french" vibe.

One of my favorite activities was to sit with a book, a cup of their soup of the day, and a sandwich for a few hours in their sunroom. Absolute bliss. Great neighborhood place which you would walk by if you didn't know where it was.

I love this place. The selection of fresh, tasty salads, bread, cheeses and meats is amazing, and it's got a beautiful little garden area the back where you can enjoy a coffee in the sun away from the street.

Highly recommended - I almost don't want to share it, but I'd be heartbroken if it closed! Go, people - support your local deli :-)

The owner is away - hope he and his family are unaffected by the recent tragic events in Paris - usually great food and his style of service is an acquired taste. Once acquired you realise he's authentic.

Today was interesting - asked for a croissant (plain) - out came a brioche shaped like a croissant. When I commented on this, I could see the server thinking of what to say. No apology just a 'this is how we ALWAYS make them'. Interesting response given that the cheese filled croissants looked nothing like the brioche sculptured like a croissant.

Why not just apologise rather than try to come up with a false story.

Looking forward to the owner returning. Again hope your family and relatives are well.


Apart from food being a huge factor in a successful food establishment the other is service. Such a shame that the face of a business is usually taken up by those daydreaming about where else they could be: boredom and indifference.

Deli Boutique is a lovely little French delicatessen, bakery and cafe.

It's ideal for picking up some freshly baked bread and pastries at the weekend and they do adorable miniature croissants, pain-au-chocolat and the the swirly ones with raisins. They're a delicious little mouthful with a coffee (and because they're small you don't have to choose between them, just have one of each!).

They stock homemade jams and condiments and also make a variety of other food on the premises to take-away or eat in, such as pies, lasagna, sandwiches and croques, as well serving coffee and other hot drinks.

According to their website they've also just started offering savoury galettes and sweet crepes on a Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday - still yet to try one although fully intend to, if I can only get there when it's open. They close early evening and their hours seem slightly flexible, so don't be surprised if you find they're late to open or have closed up shop a bit earlier than expected.

A lovely cafe, really friendly staff and the food is perfect and reasonably priced. Brings a contenental feel to Wansdworth


Highly recomend it.

This is one of my favourite places. Fantasic coffee and food. Very friendly owners.

Seems to be a conversion of a regular suburban house, complete with long narrow garden, to become a small restaurant, delicatessen and café. The garden is lovely to sit in and have your meal - I had the day's special which was lasagne.
Very pleasant.
