A&E Market + Deli - Guelph, Ontario

Must stop. A+E Deli is an absolute gem in Guelph! Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch or stocking up for the week, this place delivers on all fronts. Their sandwiches are top-notch, fresh, flavourful, and generously filled. The hot food options are equally satisfying, offering comforting, home-style dishes that hit the spot every time. The beet & feta salad and Schnitzel were fantastic.

The selection of meats and cheeses is impressive, perfect for anyone who appreciates quality deli items. You can tell everything is thoughtfully curated. Their coffee is smooth and bold, a great complement to their selection of pastries, which are always fresh and delicious. (Try the pączki a traditional polish donut).

The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the overall vibe of the shop makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend A+E Deli for anyone who loves great food and great service!

First time visitor, and WOW!! Not only is A&E Marker so much larger than expected, but the entire store is *immaculately clean* with contemporary decor. The friendly server greeted with a smile, let me know about a few of their items, and warned me that their in-house sourdough bread sells out within an hour of opening, (it's that good)!!

Primarily Polish products, with a wide assortment of European pantry items, snacks & sweets. Their cakes and slices looked as delicious as they were stunning! They also have a coffee bar (espresso, cappuccino, iced coffees, etc), and beautiful café-style seating area separate from the market space.

This is *definitely* going to be my new go-to spot for coffee with friends!! ☕️🍰🍺🍷😋

A beautiful deli/market! The staff are super friendly and helpful too. The interior is surprisingly large and spacious compared to what you'd expect from the outside. There's lots of food - packaged, baked and hot!
Ordered some hot food for a quick takeout dinner at home but I'd love to come back and sit down sometime soon! After the fifteen minute drive home, my food was still delicious. The cabbage roll was very loved. Hoping pierogis will be in stock when I come back!!

An amazing new European deli has thankfully opened in Guelph. Do not let the exterior fool you since as soon as you walk into the building it opens up into an expansive display of both foods and dining area. The owners are extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and willing to help out in suggesting delicacies from their array of European offerings - whether imported directly from the EU or Canadian made. Do yourself a favour and check them out.

Cute new Polish deli! I came here for lunch with my Polish husband and we enjoyed good quality traditional food. This market/deli is very beautifully decorated and has a decent assortment of Polish/European goods. It is nice to have a place in Guelph to get certain items for our family that we normally have to go to Mississauga to access. The seating area was very comfortable and it was quite busy for a Tuesday afternoon. Only cons is that prices are a little high and parking is limited and somewhat difficult.

Fantastic deli! Meat tastes miles better than the grocery store. Best sourdough bread in Guelph. Such a treat living walking distance from them.

We had a delicious lunch at the deli! The staff were very helpful in answering questions about their gluten free options and would double check with the kitchen. They had gluten free bread for their deli sandwiches. Everything was fresh and well made! They also had gluten free dry foods options in their shop. The service is order and pick up at the counter then there is a cozy seating area. There are steps to the deli and also down to the seating area. The only thing that caught my attention was the price for soup and sandwhich was a bit steep.

Absolutely love this Polish deli! It’s the perfect spot whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a relaxed meal. They offer a great range of hot food and fresh-made sandwiches, all full of flavour. The pastries are always fresh and tempting — a real treat with their excellent coffee. You’ll also find a well-stocked selection of Polish groceries and imported goods. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the clean, cozy seating area makes it feel like a home away from home. A local favourite for good reason!
