Blackheath Deli — Restaurant in Blackheath

Coffee is fine and price as usual. I could not try anything else beyond a small chocolate brownie. "Sir, our sandwich bar is closed". Well, in this town everything seems always be closed. Beware, the young ladies of the staff have difficulties with basic addition. 4.5 for the coffee and 2.5 for the brownie makes 8.5, ok after protest it was reduced to 6.5 (no joke). but then the change on a 50 dollar bill was 23.5. I must have looked rather baffled, because the lady immediately apologized. I don't know.

Gluten free and lactose free diets are well catered for here. Just let the staff know and they'll help you with whatever you need.

This really is a popular spot. Everything can be ordered take-away and there are some lovely spots to sit and eat very close by if it gets busy.

The deli has a wide range of meats and cheeses. If you're looking for something in particular, talk to the staff and they can help you find it or indeed, even order it in...

My husband and I waited for 45 minutes for our orders (which should take no more than 10 minutes I mean things between the bread kind of order 🙄)and then discovered the order has been lost. It was nice for the owner to offer us a Free coffee but the food was not worth the wait and we certainly would have preferred those 30 min was spent in the mountains. If staff is not properly trained, she shouldn't be unsupervised serving customers. Simple. And yes, public service sector is very unforgiving especially when the customer...
