Snails Deli & Bistro Reviews

Quirky retro cafe, great home made food, good choice of beverages. Take away as well as eat in. Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere and you be as leisurely as you like.

Great atmosphere with a cool vibe
Service a little slow!

Just popped by and bought some vegetable and lamb samosas. Very nice !

Another fantastic breakfast with the best tasting coffee !!

You pay to sit on lumps of wood and have "posh" food ...

Always great food in a relaxed Atmosphere! Wednesday & Friday nights are well worth a visit for their special menus

Nice food.
Hopeless to park.

Loved my visit here - they more than happily catered for coeliac vegan me!

Snails now do Pizza Night twice a week on Wednesdays and Fridays! Fabulous pizzas freshly prepared and piping hot ready for pre-booked collection. Highly recommended. Well done and thank you!

It's always busy in here so was surprised to find that the food hygiene rating was only a 2. Had a tea and piece of cake as we'd travelled here especially. It was okay. We'd nearly finished our cake in the time it took them to bring us our hot drinks. Won't be rushing back, especially with poor hygiene rating!

Love this place, although seats are hard to sit on , !

Friendly staff. Good food. Terrific asset to the village of Rhiwbina. Good place to meet. Bit expensive!

We had a birthday party at snails deli. Food was fantastic! Atmosphere and look was great too. Brilliant!

Great atmosphere, lovely helpful staff and delicious food. I'd recommend the music nights too.

What a fantastic night at the comedy night we will definitely be back

Great brunch and coffee. Lovely area at rear to sit with outdoor heaters

Love visiting here. Staff wonderful and always good food and service

Great service, lovely comfortable atmosphere and excellent food/coffee with quality ingredients!

Excellent take-away pizzas and friendly service. Highly recommended

Excellent bistro with brilliant choices and run by absolutely lovely staff!! Highly recommend this place for a bite to eat for anyone visiting Rhwibina

Omg, just had the most amazing valentines evening in snails. We had the small plate menu and it was beautiful. Pudding was as equally divine (chocolate orange cheesecake and an almond tart). Staff were considerate, engaging, informing and overall just lovely. We had a great gastro experience. Thanks all xxxx

Nice cafe, good home food and cakes. Can get busy at lunch time.

Lovely caramelised onion quiche, cakes are delicious.

We have just had an evening in Snails. Great food and service

Nice place, good food but a bit limited. It is a delicatessen but you can hire the place out for parties. There is plenty of seating, enough for upto 40-50 people. Cafe style, but they do sell alcohol.

The quiche is superb. Great atmosphere, lovely place for lunch

Lovely atmosphere and lovely food and drink. Had a brilliant cup of tea in very comfortable surroundings.

Just had a cup of coffee and some cake here with the wife. Cakes were delightful. Owner really friendly. Can't fault it.

I am disabled and in a wheelchair, and I was glad to see that they had a removable ramp so I could get in. Also a lovely pot of tea and I would come back again.

Sorry, but we popped in for a coffee today, that was fine, but once again the table had not been cleaned. Bits of chopped onion etc. So not naming and shaming, but if the tables are not cleaned, again, this is a basic hygiene issue and should be in staff DNA. It's not my job to speak to staff. I came in for a coffee.

Visited twice this last few months...great food, lovely ambience and excellent happy staff.

Went here for lunch, was not disappointed. Great selection of salads, good portion size & lovely staff. Definitely a place I will be returning to.

Wouldnt go anywhere else for all my deli needs! Gorgeous fresh coffee, beautifully baked cakes, quiches and pastries and a gorgeous selection of gin, cheese and other welsh deliciousness all serviced with a smile! Highly recommended

My very favourite place for late breakfast, coffee, lunch or tea in the whole of Cardiff. Always friendly and the food is frankly and reliably delicious - their quiches can't be bettered, there's a huge choice, and their cakes . . . Plus you can pick up bread, eggs or odd treats from the deli in your way out.

Always pretty busy. Food menu is limited in choice but the quality of the food is great. Seating area is lovely and rustic. Deli space is a little cluttered. Would return for coffee and cake.

Picked up a cake for my wife's big birthday. What can I say but wow, what a fabulous cake. Worth every penny and more. Thanks to the team at Snails. Excellent service.

Never been for one of the evening services but the lunch is great and the quiches are second to none.

Amazing food and wine with astoundingly good music from B-sydes and Gaz Brookfield. Please guys, come back to Wales soon.

Just had an excellent full English breakfast in delightful surroundings with great coffee and WiFi. Thoroughly recommended.

Always a great atmosphere, food it's decent. Service can be slow at peak times.

GREAT place GREAT food GREAT staff.need I say any more.

Popped in spontaneously for a spot of lunch today, wonderful welsh rarebit. By chance was the first day they reopened since Covid. Great enthusiasm by the team in following the new challenging Covid guidlines

Lovely quaint place. Great staff. Nice tasting coffee.

Just had a cheese, onion and potato pastie from takeaway. GORGEOUS!!

I used to love it here. Recently, the standards have slipped. There s been two or three occasions where I ve ordered food and it s come without items advertised. Drinks are often forgotten, and the quality of the food and drink is inconsistent. You can go one week and it s great, the next week you get something entirely different. I won t be coming back, which is a shame as it was my local. One too many bad experiences unfortunately. Two star food hygiene, also a factor!

Lovely selection of pizzas but service was a bit slow due to the fact that they were very busy. The staff did tell us that there would be a 40min wait for food.

Yes really like Snails. Great atmosphere, fab eclectic interior. Would def go again.

Really nice food, not a great deal of seating but good if you can get spot

Fab food, and the most amazing cakes you won't find any where else. Go and try for yourself, you won't be disappointed. All made fresh daily. Staff are very helpful and welcoming.

A delightful mid week meal. Relaxed atmosphere. Attentive service and sublime Carbonara!

Not overly impressed service is slow food mediocre.

Probably the best breakfast I've had within Cardiff. If I had one criticism it would be, personally I would like to have my order taken at the table instead of having to go to the counter

Was a great place especially after the recent refurbishment. Would definitely reccomend this!

Amazing lunch, friendly staff and reasonably priced

A basic restaurant serving excellent Italian style food (pizza, pasta etc.) in a relaxed atmosphere. I'll go there again.

A friendly delicatessen, staff are friendly and helpful. A quirky and pleasant environment with a great selection of foods. Sandwiches, cakes, etc. Also open for events in the evening and had parking outside the venue.

Love this place! Delicious home-made cakes, lovely tea and coffee and lovely products on sale there too. Great for a catch-up with friends and good evening entertainment too.

Lovely food, attractively presented. Great atmosphere. Shame they don't have any ice: that would have given them 5 *.
