Moreish Café Deli

The Moreish Cafe Deli is a hidden gem in the heart of Bloomsbury, London.

Located at 76 Marchmont Street, WC1N 1AG, the Deli is owned by the lovely host Jenny.
Jenny is a wonderful cook and almost everything you can get at the Moreish Café Deli, is handmade by her.
Also, the place is eco friendly: all cutlery and plates are biodegradable - approved by several Professors in environment at LSHTM, UCL and LSE.
The owner is really friendly, always with a smile on (behind her mask now), ready for a chat, exchange of ideas and knowledge. She is also very kind and I have seen her in many occasions help people outside on the street. Very open minded person, always ready to defend anyone!
A superb Café Deli!

There are a great diversity of drinks and foods (vegetarian and vegan):
- fresh juices, fresh teas, iced teas, coffee (espreso, americanos latte, cappuccino, flat white, mocha, macchiato), golden milk, hot hats and different types of milks (regular, soy, almond, oat)
- gelatos & sorbettos (all super mouth-watering, gluten free and vegan)
- gluten free cakes (vegan fruit cakes very low in added sugar, vegetarian baked lemon cheesecake, vegetarian chocolate brownie)
- a variety of pastries (pain croissants, almond croissants, pain au chocolate, pain au raisin, pain aux chocolate & almond)
- multigrain loaves
- a big variety of vegetarian and vegan sandwiches
- a large assortment of vegan and vegetarian breakfasts and lunches

The menu changes with the seasons, according to lovely Jenny. Depending on the season and festivities, the Deli adjusts their menu and decoration.

And to top it all, Jenny now sells the most extraordinary plants I have ever seen. As she usually says, “with the pandemic, people went away and the plants came in”. Now that we are all back to “normal”, we are enjoying the Moreish Cafe Deli at its best, with space outside and inside in the middle of this little wonderful jungle that Jenny created!
All of this in the heart of London!

A could not recommend it more!
Go and enjoy!!

P.S.: having in mind the quality (all handmade) and big quantity of the portions of each food and drink, I truly believe it is all at a very fair price. Especially when compared to the local cafes in the area, where prices are similar, but with low quality and quantity of food and drinks and lack of friendly waiters… Hence, my option to always go to the Moreish Café Deli.

P.S. 2: I also agree with the policy of no laptops. The vibe of the deli is to serve delicious food and drink and enjoy a moment in the day. Not to spend hours using a device and not consuming.

P.S. 3: Ice-creams and sorbets are SUPERB!!!!!

Best breakfast in the area with real bread (not the fake white floppy toast stuff).
Everything is freshly prepared, including the delicious coffee and juices.
The owner is fun to talk to :-)

Bo-ho, shanty-style cafe serving organic, ‘home- made’ lunches, breakfasts + gelato. Affordable and healthy. I had the Middle Eastern salad mezze. The salads were edible but not flavoursome - they each tasted like they came shovelled out, days old, from large plastic tubs of mushy blandness. The grated carrot and apple salad was bright and decent, but the boiled carrot and feta salad was awful tasting. The mezze includes hummus (too runny and not sour enough) and a boiled egg (small and dry). There was a small cat hair inside one of them - but having cats I wasn’t super bothered. The place is a bit pokey (no good seating inside) so I sat in the one remaining outdoor seat - next to the trash. It was a bit wobbly but got the job done. The service was excellent. Really knowledgeable and chill yet professional. I probably wouldn’t eat there again.

Great place for vegetarians and vegans. There are plenty of options for breakfast and lunch. It is not a place to study but is the perfect place to sit, enjoy a coffee with a pastry while you swipe your phone, read or talk to a friend. Very lovely and well attended. Thank you!!

This cafe has such a nice atmosphere, so may plants it makes you feel like you've stepped into a jungle. It has a really nice homemade feel, like everything has been thought about and hand crafted. It's an antidote to big chains and modern places with no soul.

One woman band, she works hard and fast to try and ensure a swift service. The coffee was to die for and the butter on my lovely toast was amazing. Great experience, will probably never go back as I'm a tourist but a great memory to keep.

Nice little deli at a street corner. Lady who runs it is very pleasant. Good coffee.

Didn't try the food so cannot comment.

Had a couple of hot drinks and was asked how much sugar in each - odd, why not let people do that themselves?🤔

Service was quick but an odd mix of friendly tinged with a hint of aggression.

Beware whilst there is a toilet, there's no lock on the door.

Prices are in line with London, around £6 for two drinks. Nice decor and location.
