M deli? More like mmmmmm deli 😋🤤! Sandwich was stacked with enigmatic eggplant and sultry salad. Rustic wooden benches cradled us as we munched our sandwich. Tempted by deserts in the cabinet, we returned for more! Glowing in halo of … More

Poached eggs were more like boiled eggs so the dish was dry. Smoothie was not good either and juice was bland. Not a single item we ordered was decent. Super disappointed. Service was also average, felt like we were bothering them honestly. More

Ordered coffee with one takeaway order ahead of me. 15 minutes and 8 coffees made later they were still only bringing out mugs. Surely a single takeaway coffee could have been made so I could leave. I had to ask for a refund More

Good selections of pastries, cakes and food for brekkie especially. Not many seatings inside, more on the outside. Coffee was good too. It can be quite busy in the morning, seems this is a fave place for locals to go to. Very chill and laidback place. More

Very quick service. Coffe was ok. But the eggplant salad we had was very oily and pricy. Croissant with tomato and cheese didn't help as the pastry was also oily. It was our fault that we didn't check the price and didn't know that we can actually mix different salad. More

Excellent selection of food, more substance than meets the eye. A real gem in an area so void of any good place to actually find good food. Seriously undervalued as a cafe, it's solid. Reliable, honest, wholesome, two thumbs up, which is why I keep going back.
The coffee is a bit inconsistent though and the seating could be better and more comfortable. But it's definitely not a deal breaker.

This has to be one of the best little cafes I've been to in a while. It's very small but has some tables outside, it's surrounded by houses so not too busy with traffic and people walking by.
Service was good and friendly.
I ordered the Brussels sprouts salad, Waldorf salad and pumpkin quiche. The brussel sprouts salad was amazing my tastebuds were thanking me haha. The iced coffee was delicious I could actually taste coffee (not to strong). My husband ordered the Reuben (toasted) that too was delicious. We shared a cookie which we asked to be warmed up in not of salted things but it was just the right touch delicious!
I'm looking forward to coming back to try other items off the menu. If you're in Bondi please stop off there you won't regret it.

It is a friendly little Cafe in Bondi. I lived a hostel close to them and I discovered M Deli on my first morning. I've came back every single morning because I love this place. It has a good small town atmosphere. The crew is kind and really friendly. I tried couple of sandwiches and I have to say the quality is awesome and rock solid. To ve Frank M Deli is not the cheapest place I ve ever been but definitely worth it!
Recommend qoth 5 stars!

As some others have probably experienced, the staff can be rather rude at times when they’re busy. Not a good experience when staff fails to greet you with a smile and is blunt in asking you ‘what do you want’?
Will not be returning.

This road-corner cafe is nestled in the quiet suburb of Tamarama. It is the daily haunt of the residents, along with many passersby, who stop for coffee, bakery products and food. It's a small cafe with indoor and outdoor seating and a warm, cozy ambience.
Patrick, Carlos and Natalie are friendly and genuinely passionate about serving the customers. The cafe has a variety of bakery and breakfast options at reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

Coming here longer than a smuggler's sentence (12 years), and i lament that the edges are fraying. The coffee is till good from the same barista. The owner is terrific and cares like your aunt (the cool one). There's a long serving cashier that's just plain rude though. Oh, unless you're a good looking young guy or a mother. Pets help you too. But, alas im an old male and no amount t of charm gets returned with her simple kindness. The food is largely up to it's beginnings, but it's slipping. The rough drawn signals couples with the decaying hardware to make you feel that the love is fading. Ill hope for a return. But I live 80m away, and used to come daily. That's down to weekly. They close earlier too. Fraying edges. The muffin ive had for years reslly missed the recipe today. Lately, they've even stopped serving the toast I shelled out for, despite still having it on hand for sandwiches. Come to think of it, delivering that bad news is the only time the cashier smiled at me in 4 years....
