Le Delice in Malvern Hills

I think some of the reviews on here must have been written by people who have confused this beautiful French bakery/deli with another shop. We have used Le Delice for around 15 years and still marvel at the quality of the cheeses, meats, pates and pastries. The prices are very fair and the service is friendly and helpful. We are very fortunate to have this exceptional local business in Malvern. It's a wonderful place that we absolutely love! Thank you to all at Le Delice!

Magnificent french bakery - superb bread and patisserie

Fabulous French Bakery and Deli a family business run by people who care about their products and customers.

I ve never tasted a cake for the epiphany so delicious!!!!! I am still shocked by the taste! Lovely bakery and very nice ladies at the counter! Thank you for the lovely galette des rois!

Unfortunately all the food we purchased tasted dry and stale. We were so disappointed as the deli looked great.

An excellent place to buy proper French patisserie and cheese.

This is one of the nicest family businesses I have ever come across. Excellent service, Excellent food, EXCELLENT staff, what more could you ask. We are so fortunate that Malvern has you! Momentous goodies that are truly delish. Angie & Jean-Michele - as they say on Strictly - THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Very popular French deli. Go early to avoid disappointment. Very easy to get carried away and spend a lot. There are so many lovely things to buy.

Melt in the mouth pastries. Worth a trip if you’re close by.

Stop by regularly for their selection of bread and delicious pastries and cakes. An excellent selection of cheeses too. Tasty, filled demi-baguettes (and the best sausage rolls) available for that quick grab-and-go lunch. Couldn’t recommend more!

Sadly don't get to Malvern as often as we used to but always make sure we pop in when we do. Came away with a great selection of pastries, bread and cheese to share with my parents. Sadly they can't travel to France anymore, so we took a taste of France to them. Been a while but as good as ever and can't wait to return.

Having lived in France for 25 years before coming to Malvern, I must say how lucky we are to have such an outstanding boulangerie/pâtisserie here. It also has a delicatessen counter with French charcuterie, pâtés, cheeses and other delights. Produce arrives from France every week and it is a haven of deliciousness. Forget Waitrose or other imitations! This is the real deal 😎 Well done!

I buy my bread (and lots of other delicious things) here every week. The food is excellent, staff always helpful and they really know and care about what they're selling. Highly recommended.

I have been meaning to visit for months.. what a gem! Fabulous sandwiches and cakes and all so fresh! Unusual cake’s definitely need tasting

This is where we go for a real breakfast treat! The croissants and pastries are absolutely delicious, we love the almond croissants ! I found this place on trip adviser 2 years ago when we first moved to the area and what a find it was. We visit frequently, service is always very friendly and welcoming and the amount of choice and food quality is always excellent.

Fantastic little bakery, the food is outstanding, staff are so friendly and helpful, definitely worth a visit, you will not be disappointed

Fantastic little bakery, we visit often and they never disappoint. Seasonal speciality cakes are outstanding and the pizzas on a Friday are well worth making a visit for. Not forgetting the almond croissants which are to die for! Pleasant staff and lovely location a real hidden gem.

I have just read some negative reviews on here for Le Delice and I am dumbfounded. In order to give a one star review it would have to be terrible and it is not. I can only surmise it must be malicious. The service is always lovely even during the dark days post lockdown and the pastries are fabulous, just like you buy in France. This hard working family deserve credit for what they bring to the local community not bashing. If you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything. I for one will be going back again and again and hope they will continue for a long time.

Regular customers / best bakery for miles! We have been to France many times recently and had the joy of some excellent artisan bakers and the team at Le Delice rival them every day of the week! We live round the corner on Highfield Rd, so it’s our local bakery and we are passionate customers of theirs, ignore the illiterate and toxic reviews placed probably but a half wit low life competitor!!! The team are fantastic and the bread, cheese and pastries cannot be beaten.

Amazing cakes, bread and croissants, a genuine taste of France! JM and Angela are some of the hardest working people I know, along with their friendly staff!

I use this place almost every day when it is open . You won't find better service or quality anywhere near. The food is superb particularly the bread and pastries and their deli counter is always well stocked with French delights. Please pay no attention to the poor review below, I understand the author has a personal grudge against the proprietors. Try La Delice for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

ExcellenHeavet first review mistake!!Heavenly cakes!!!

Excellent bakery, recommend trying the croissants, both the almond and savoury ones. The cakes are gorgeous too. Can be busy and recommend ordering in advance for large orders.

Thought I wrote a review, as a little dishearten by another review of not going back because it wasn't opened when he wanted.. The family could have been going home to France for Christmas to see family for all he knows. Previously when I needed cheeses and cured meats for Christmas , I simply pre ordered weeks before and a lovely hamper was made . I always loved the service, freshly made rolls, to lovely cheeses and those lovely almond croissants.. Unfortunately shop is not waking distance for me to frequent at lunch (possibly good for my expanding belly). Staff are always lovely and I sooner support a local shop, and if it's not open when I want I will take a mental note of when it's open (not that difficult)

Closed at 2.30 with just 3 days to Christmas! Normally this is a great experience, great selection, the odd treat, but today though I was expecting to join a queue the place was closed at 2.30 pm. Incredible, I watched 4 other cars stop and leave, no doubt, like me to Waitrose to spend my £50 on Christmas cheeses and odds and sods. Nice to support local businesses, but never again. Au revoir La Delice.

Love their almond croissants and the rest. Worth a visit

Amazing French patisserie. The staff were kind and friendly, the food was high quality and enjoyable!

Everything tastes so nice and I like going there as the owner is French like me.

Fantastic range of savories and sweet! The bread is exceptional and the cheese selection *chefs kiss*

Best Baguette this side of Paris. Excellent Normandy cheese, Always worth a visit if I'm in Malvern and sometimes worth a special trip from Shropshire!

Love this shop! Always greeted by Angie with a smile and double kisses (the French way) . Shopping carried to the car, cakes lovingly wrapped with ribbon. You couldn't ask for more!!!

Excellent products and lovely staff

Lovely cakes, very friendly staff. A little difficult to find first time but well worth the effort.

Awesome food, shame they're stuck in the past. If you've listened wholeheartedly to the government guidance about restrictions before why are you not listening now?

Lovely little shop. Excellent bread, beautiful pastries and amazing cheese. Friendly staff too... What more could you want 😊

Absolutely delicious food, well worth a trip!

Le Delice is fabulous. What they sell is excellent and the staff are kind and helpful. A bit of France in Malvern...

Friendly service and delicious food

Popped in as I’d read good reviews. Got a couple of cheeses, which were excellent and a demi-baguette, which was good, but not like a traditional baguette, too soft imho. The pear tart on the other hand, was amazing. Fabulous pastry and flavour. One of the best I’ve had.

This really does feel like a little piece of France hidden in Malvern. Picked up two beautiful flans, both gorgeously presented, as gifts for friends with birthdays. Superb cakes, cheese and cooked meats, friendly service and no rushing. Magic !

Really wanted to love this place, but personally I've found it disappointing - on the whole things are drier, heavier and not as tasty as I would hope or expect. Of course you can get disappointing bread and pastries in France too, but what's on offer here isn't anywhere near the quality of the really good French stuff!

I ve had the misfortune of coming here a couple of times, and to its sister shop at Link top. I have found the tarts and cakes so dry I ve taken a bite and thrown them away. I ve found the staff to have few manners when I ve been with my wife, and due to the current lunarcy of Covid they are paranoid about social distancing and touching a jar or can? I like to see what I am buying and to check ingredients. A friend bought us some cakes round this week,not knowing we had a low opinion of the place. My apricot tart was about 10% apricot and 90% tasteless bone dry pastry. The chocolate cake was so heavy Samson couldnt have picked it up. I ve been to France several times and ate superb food. If you want a nice slice of cake to take away go to Gallery 36 or Terrace on the Hill. Or just pop to Waitrose,superb and cheaper. Just to clarify a couple of points. The word malice means intending to do harm. My reviews of anything in life are based upon primary personal experience, or collaborative secondary experience and I speak as I find. I ve given dozens of reviews of various places and establishments. Mainly very praise worthy. Now if everyone who has ever used this shop has found the staff and produce very good, then good on them. I ve been judged on someone not knowing their facts about my reviews, or perhaps they believe in the liberal facism we are surrounded by, that you can't say anything negative? One of the facts they got wrong is that I ve been in the shop since Covid; I haven't. My wife went in and found the staff abrupt, and wouldn't let her pick anything off a shelf. And yet we have people handling goods to put them on the shelves in the first place, or are they exempt from Covid? Mind you, 99.87% of the country havent died from Covid, the sky clapped forget that. Just to point out my balance in reviews, I have had fabulous food arranged by The Cold Chef in Barnards Green, in the past. Good on them then. However, the last twice we ve had food delivered by them we have found it poor. I am speaking the truth, collaborated by the people who ate the food with me. I ve never set out with malice against any establishment or person, I just review through experience. The more that society drifts from the truth the more it will hate those who speak it.

Amazing selection of delicacies, fresh breads and pastries. Helpful, friendly staff. Click and collect also. Do not leave without trying an almond croissant!

I would have loved to try this bakery I heard wonderful things about them. But their policy is to serve mask exempt people from outside. As I've never been there I had no idea what my choices were so I couldn't order. Also.. to clarify, they are already taking a lot of steps for Covid security such as 1 person in at a time, staff wearing face shields and masks, they're a screen between staff and customer. They just felt that they needed to go ridiculously over the top and treat people that are unable to wear a mask like lepers.

Outstanding quality and choice og breads and cakes. Cheeses and other produce shipped directly from France and they too are wonderful. Friendly and professional service and also stringent COVID-19 protective measures but in place. I can thoroughly recommend shopping both here and in its sister-shop.

I count myself very fortunate to live just around the corner from this absolute gem of a place. A great selection of French pastries and savoury treats, freshly baked bread, lots and lots of cheeses and gorgeous deli food. The staff are really lovely and always make you feel welcome. I’m close to buying up the whole shop every time I go in! Surprisingly good value too considering the quality. The opera cake and coffee eclair are particular favourites of mine. Give this place a try if you haven’t already, you won’t regret it.

Amazing shop, really covid safe, doing everything they can to keep people and staff safe. Highly recommend.

I used to live a 2 minute walk from Le Delice. I visited often. I now live 4 hours away and I have still made the trip! They are phenomenal and I make every excuse to drive that way. Start from the left side of the patisserie display, do not skip le opera, or the strawberry tart or the triple chocolate mousse or the passion fruit mousse and be sure to make a full sample of the macaroon flavours. Because it is important to always be balanced in a review, I will say that I'm not a great fan of rum baba :)

A wonderful selection of hand made patisseries and savoury items too. Lovely friendly staff....nothing is ever too much trouble. Further down you will see a review by someone hiding behind the pseudonym of 'Odd Bod' Quite simply 'Odd Bod' your attack is cowardly because you do not identify yourself and if you have some complaint then take it up with the staff. It is outrageous to rubbish a business in such an anonymous way. Yes, gallery 36 does food, but not of this style, the Terrace on the Hill also does good food, but not of this style and Waitrose whilst good is a supermarket. If you want something a little more individual go to a small business which is experienced and has taste....that is Au Bon Pain and Le Delice in this case....there are few places I can think of within the two counties, which have the elements of both French parisserie or boulangerie within the same premies. So come on 'Odd Bod' either identify yourself or withdraw your outrageous remarks!

Fantastic French bakery and patisserie with deli counter and all manner of delicious things. Best croissants you will find outside of France and all made in house. You can taste the love and care that goes into all the products and the staff are always just so helpful , a real family business with a great community spirit. You will be amazed by the fabulous cheese selection!

Moving to Malvern after living in France for the best part of five years, I was delighted to find this patisserie and then its sister shop Au Bon Pain. Fabulous bread, pastries, macrons and a wonderful selection of cheeses and other deli items. The prices of the cheese are honestly comparable to what I used to pay at my local outdoor market in SW France. The staff are always so warm and friendly while being very professional. I have been very impressed with how they have managed the customer experience throughout the pandemic - it feels reassuringly safe shopping there and yet is still just as friendly and personal an experience. If you want to transport your taste buds to France, go on in and treat yourself!

Beautiful French bread and cheeses

Wonderful bakery. There's usually a little queue outside so wear something warm but the fact there is a queue tells you it's worth it

The best bread, cheese, patisserie you will find locally. Staff are lovely too.

They have the best bread in Malvern.Nay Worcestershire. I also cannot get enough of the selection of cheeses and there well priced (all ways sold out fast) meal deal. I hope you continue with the standards of excellence you provide and it's nice seeing a well run business expand.

Overall really good, to be picky - I was a little disappointed in the eclair but that might be because my expectation were pretty high. Also annoying that my wife and I couldn't browse together even though we are from the same household. Rules are rules but some common sense would be nice too.

Excellent experience to pick up some Croissants for breakfast. The Victorian Bread was also delicious. Keep up the good work.

Amazing products - especially the cakes, croissants & Brie, oh & macaroons!

We travel 7 miles to this proper french bakery the fresh produce and the well stocked shelves are all top notch and things you can’t find in the super markets. The owners and staff really care and are super friendly again proper old school values

Been meaning to pay a visit to this amazing shop since moving to Malvern. When you enter the shop you are immediately transported to france. Was happy to join the queue this morning with lots of others. Amazing bread, cakes, pastries, cheeses and more. Honestly you won't regret it. Dont expect to pay supermarket prices, their products way superior so cost more....but every mouthful is value for money. It's a treat you owe yourself...especially at the moment.

I stopped by yesterday. What a find. Had spinach and cheese round thing and various bits and Bob's along with macaroons and a chocolatey meringue. Not forgetting the flakeiest sausage roll. Absolutely svrupmtious

Lovely bread and cakes, a bit on the expensive side but well worth it. We order a granary for every Saturday because they sell out quickly

Best Almond Croissants outside France

No trip to Malvern is complete without taking the time to visit the towns very own corner of France Such a huge selection of truly scrumptious cakes pastries bread cheeses the list is endless A warm welcome awaits the staff are helpful and extremely knowledgeable

Lovely bread and cakes. Local honey is so good!! We go here regularly and the food is consistently good. 👌👌

Filled baguettes are more reasonably priced than you might expect.

Beautiful food with friendly service !

Le Delice is our favourite shop in Malvern. The olives and the bread are fab!

Bravo!! I ordered a buffet of patisseries for my "French Wedding Cake" and they were wonderful and delicious! Everybody was very impressed and delighted, as a French person I can definitely say there were perfect authentic French Patisserie. Un grand Merci à l'équipe LeDelice :)

Very polite and beautifully set out with gorgeous patisserie baked goods ,strongly recommend

Lovely authentic boulangerie, patiserrie and delicious cakes & bread. Family owned. Cannot recommend the pastry fruit tartlets enough!

A fabulous corner of France on the doorstep. Wonderful for morning pastries and a great selection of bread. Excellent value meal deal too which includes their lovely brownies. New shop now open too on Worcester Road by Link Top traffic lights with parking on Newtown Road. Takeaway coffee available too from both shops. Very, very highly recommended.

Lovely food and a great idea for malvern

Lovely staff, helpful, knowledgeable, FABULOUS French pastries & deli. Well worth a visit!😋

Fab French bakery. Lovely products and staff are friendly. Good quality cakes and breads.

Fantastic place! We ordered a number of cheese boards as Christmas presents. We were stunned by the quality, presentation and value for money.

I have visited the Delice on many occasions The Garlic olives are really good & offer good value. The BBQ Ham is wonderful The breads excellent . Its a great deli of the beaten track the food is always fresh i would say the best in Malvern easily...

Delicious; delightful - La Delice

Excellent product range, classic French quality, delicious.....

I don't know why I have taken so long to write this review! My Husband Peter and I discovered this wonderful place 4 years ago and have been regular visitors ever since. The staff are friendly,cheerful and helpful. The bread selection is fabulous and the pastries are 'to die for' ...our favourites being the Almond Croissants which are the best we have ever tasted. And as if that is not enough they have a fabulous deli counter too. Great news for the people of Malvern that there is soon to be a second shop opening

Great french bakery and deli. Wide choice of cheeses and bread and cakes

This is a tiny shop with a big 'French soul'. When friends visited from France they were treated to all sorts of delicacies from this shop and were very most surprised just how realistic everything tasted. Delighted to hear that you're moving even closer to Malvern Town Centre.

Great selection of baguettes and meats. Bread is awesome

Fabulous bread, patisseries, meats, pates, cheeses-wonderful French Baker and lovely family

Lovely bread and cheese the cakes were very nice indeed😋 great for a treat x

I like this bakery and often call in to buy a Merveilleux (a cake made from meringue) they are quite delicious and except for the chain I know in paris which sells ONLY variations of this cake, they are the best Merveilleux that I know. A great find in Malvern.

Outstanding delicatessen. Range of brilliant bread freshly baked each day. Fantastic patisserie, again freshly made. Lovely range of cheeses and preserves. A real gem.

The almond croissants are AMAZING! 😁

Everything here is amazing. Love this bakery xoxo

Amazing beer bread, beautiful cakes and a great personal service.

Just discovered this place earlier today and was totally gob-smacked! Cheese like you get in France as opposed to the UK Supermarkets. The same for the cakes. We have just relocated here from a long way up North which has further confirmed our right move. Will become regular customers. What time do they open tomorrow anyone?

Lovely homemade produce, great service

Es una tienda no es un restaurante, pero qué tienda! Siempre nos vienen aquí para cumpleaños caprichos; hermosa tartas y pasteles. Tienes que ordenar, pero vienen en una caja con cintas como estándar y son absolutamente fantásticos para obsequios y regalos. El servicio siempre ha sido bueno y estoy sólo un ocasional cliente. Bien vale la pena buscar.

Great authentic French delicatessen. Fantastic pastries and bread.

French cheeses, charcuterie and cakes/desserts. Very nice.

Love this place but wish it wasnt so close to the bus stop lol. Friendly staff, I love the almond croissants

¿Recuerda los años 1950, cuando comerciantes te hizo sentir fue un privilegio incluso para caminar a sus tiendas olvídate de comprar algo? Así es cómo nos hicieron sentir en Le Délice. Cometimos el error de pedir salsa holandesa. No, no venden. ¿por qué deberían hacerlo? "Es muy fácil de hacer", nos dijeron. Pero si simplemente no tienen confianza alrededor de cocina y recetas ¿qué hacer? También nos dieron la sensación de que todavía ocasionalmente encontrado, que ya no somos clientes habituales, nos sólo tendrán derecho a su segundo servicio de grado. Un poco helado. Sin aliento para volver. Para un negocio que está fuera del circuito turístico, necesitan esforzarse más.

Dirigido por Angela y Jean Michel, Le Delice es un poco de Francia aquí en Malvern.

Fantastic products, breads, cakes, macaroons etc. High quality, friendly service. Go in the morning for best choice, so popular you may miss out!

Le Delice sits unassumingly in an old bakery in the middle of a row of houses, somewhat off the main drag. But what a treat to call in for French bread, pastries and cheese.
