Queen Sally's Diamond Deli

Great cafe with lots of cabinet food. Love the vibe of the interior. It looks like most if not all their food is vegetarian, and they do this well! Packed with flavour and lots of texture. Really enjoyed the food here. It looks like they cater for a variety of dietary requirements - they had lots of GF options

Queen Sally’s Diamond Deli in Lyall Bay, Wellington, is a gem of a café that exudes an alternative vibe, perfectly matched by its eclectic interior. Housed in an old house, this small café is a burst of color and character, featuring quirky decor like a flying horse with a cowboy hat lamp.nnWhen I visited on a bustling weekend, the café was crazily busy, a testament to its popularity. Despite the crowd, the service was prompt and friendly. The coffee was as good as it gets, and the food was equally impressive. With a strong emphasis on meatless offerings, the deli showcases a delightful array of vegan and vegetarian options, including beautiful samosas, salads, and filled wraps. There are only two meat options available, making it a paradise for those seeking delicious plant-based meals.nnThe deli also offers a selection of fresh bread, pies, pastries, and salads, alongside homemade preserves, old-fashioned sweets from Arrowtown, Earthend Honey, and treats from the Wellington Chocolate Company. It's clear that Queen Sally’s Diamond Deli is not just about great coffee and food but also about supporting local and homemade products.nnOverall, Queen Sally’s Diamond Deli is a fun and fanciful place that has become a staple in Lyall Bay. Whether you’re in the mood for a perfect cup of coffee, a hearty meatless meal, or a unique shopping experience in their deli section, this café is worth a visit.

Good coffee, best food. Always impressed by how many gluten-free & vegan options are available.nnIf it's cake you're after, I recommend a visit on Thursday or Sunday. Possibly my imagination but the cakes seem even better than usual!

A gorgeous place for breakfast and brunch! Wildly popular but worth the queues. My family had breakfast here the other day — we individually enjoyed their Granola, Pesto Scroll, Vegan Samosa, and Raspberry and Apricot Oatie Slice.nnThe Vegan Samosa and chutney was homemade and massive. A really great breakfast option for people who love savoury over sweet. The Oatie slice was an excellent DF option, unsure if it’s Vegan. It was so delicious — highly recommend. Vegan Yogurt was offered at no extra cost!nnThe Pesto Scroll was exceptional. The Granola was divine and the coffee was good, so I’m told!nnLots of Vegan, GF, and DF options. Not a lot of seats inside or out but the beach is a short walk away.
