We have to organise some sandwiches and wraps for a function. VJ is prompt in assisting and we have placed our order and picked up without any issues. Quality is great and prices are good value. Highly recommended.

Nice coffee and a pleasant atmosphere. The food was good as well. However, on the day I was there (Sunday) the staff seemed more interested in chatting than keeping the outside tables clean (one table not cleared after 20 mins) For that reason, it’s a four-star rating for me.

The Deli wrap was freshly made and delicious. The carrot cake was light and tasty with just the right amount of cream cheese icing. Great coffee. Very friendly and efficient service.

The summary review score for this very good deli is unfairly dragged down by complaints from three or more years ago. The service was excellent. The breakfast food had some originality, fresh ingredients and full of flavour (but less currants in the Bircher muesli please). I liked the look of the sandwiches and pastries, too. It’s a sweet place with plenty of room, well located on the main street. Fully recommended.

We ordered brekky burrito and huevo burrito, and they're generous sized. I think we could've just shared one. Coffees were great as well. It is more of a self serve cafe in the sense that we sat ourselves, ordered on the counter and had to help ourselves to water if we liked.

Avo toast, milk shake, smoothie - all very wonderful, we would come here just for this restaurant :) Gerringong has also quite some local vendors/shops that worth the visit. Personally, among many other close-by towns, I seriously enjoy here the most.

Got back in a two hour drive from south for a second visit. Kathys Avo-Toast and Breakfast-Burrito were great. Genious place. We love it. We will come back for sure in the next years

The Deli Cafe Gerringong is a bright and spacious spot that makes the most of its natural light, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. There’s plenty of room to settle in, and the open layout gives the place a refreshing, airy feel. The menu offers a solid range of typical café favourites, with one standout: the burgers. The US-style cheeseburger in particular was a highlight—juicy, full of flavour, and perfectly balanced. It’s definitely worth coming in just for that. Service was polite, prompt and efficient—staff were friendly without being overbearing, and everything arrived in good time. The only letdown was the coffee. It came out looking pale and tasted quite weak, with milk that was a bit too hot. It felt a little rushed, which was a shame compared to the otherwise well-executed food and service. All in all, a great experience with excellent food in a lovely setting. A few tweaks on the coffee front and it would be an easy five stars.
