Balula's Delicatessen in Swindon

Excellent local cafe. Stopped for coffee and chocolate twist. Good food and drink. Great atmosphere, music and deli products from cheeses to premium condiments and gin!

7.50 for a ham n cheese toastie. Couldn't even pull half of it away from paper in the box. Rude customer service. Go somewhere else

First visit today, and will be back. Excellent coffee and Marley on the decks.. What more could you want?

Very nice chilled atmosphere. Hot food made fresh to order and prepared food all handmade. Good coffee too and all reasonably priced. Personal preference but would have preferred daintier crockery. Chunky white crock reminds me a bit of a greasy spoon café and this place is much more classy! Staff very friendly and helpful. Would recommend and will visit again!

Favourite lunch spot in Old Town! Delicious coffee and the best toasties I’ve ever had. The staff are always incredibly friendly and the ladies that we have seen a few times behind the counter have been absolutely wonderful with our little boy every time we have been in. Will keep returning time and time again!

Love visiting. Friendly and professional staff. Lovely food and in my opinion they make the best mocha in Swindon. The home-made sausage rolls and their chocolate brownies are equally as delicious.Best WishesRichardMILES BYRON

What happens when your chef doesn't turn up and you can only do toast or toasted sandwiches? Burn the toast and blame on the sourdough bread off course! Not only that, argue with your customer when they point out the toast is burnt and your kids can't eat it (as you do)!!

We came here in lockdown as their deli selection and takeaway coffee was amazing. We were so excited to come and sit in the cafe once the restrictions eased. However, we had a terrible experience. Don’t get me wrong, the products are lovely, but the service was very aggressive. The teenage girl working there was very sweet. The male owner, however, was very aggressive. We were working on laptops and had ordered drinks and food. After we had finished, he came to take the empties and asked if we wanted anything else. We said we wanted a second to decide. He then came over and said we needed to order more or get out. We’re also pretty sure he turned off the WiFi in an effort to get us to leave. I’d understand if the cafe was busy and we were preventing someone from sitting but it was empty. Too uncomfortable to come back! We’d already spent £20 for a couple of hours work for some coffee and a croissant for gods sake!!!

Fantastic coffee, absolutely spot on. The cheese and ham toastie is likely to do serious damage to your arteries but tastes amazing 😉. Service is top notch as well the perfect balance of friendly and familiar.

It’s probably the best place for a awesome sandwich or home made 🍰 cake.Coffee is lovely.Beats the rest hands down.Staff are Brilliant.Check out the plants 🌱It’s a YES from me
