Great variety of products, I love this place the staff is super friendly and helpful, donuts were super tasty and the bacon and egg sandwich was delicious, we will be coming back for sure!

It's a 60 mile trip for my daughter and I to go here. It's worth it. I always order and buy 10 loaves of protein bread. It is a wholegrain bread with seeds and does not affect my blood sugar at all and I can't get it anywhere else. I have a slice every morning with egg.Vegetarian options: Good veggie selection of sausage and cheeses

The pastries are not tasty a bit stale also don't see where the hype comes from

This Deli has such a place in Chorlton - the Onion Bagels, Freshly Baked Breads, Bacon & Egg Barms and Mediterranean sides and Meats are delightful. Prepare for a long interaction when paying but the staff are nice so I hardly mind.

Exceptional! Ordered the Reuben sandwich (with extra onions and extra cheese) and was not disappointed. The bread was as fresh as it can be, nice crunch to the crust, the fillings equally delightful. Such a treat on a rainy day. Fair price and good size. The smoked salmon bagel on an onion bagel very good as well – everything fresh, full of flavour, nicely and neatly put together and packaged. Highly, highly recommend!

Great if you feel like waiting over 20 minutes for a sandwich even when it's not

It does seem small but paying an extra 15 for having it sliced when it used to be free seems like a proper kick in the bread basket! When I first came to chorlton this place was an institution really homely and a lovely part of the community but there little changes are really sad and the atmosphere seems to have gone more tense, real shame. breads still nice apart from the tuscana which has gone down hill. And the tori touches may get me to bake my own
Be blunt But fair
It was the Friday before Christmas I enjoyed my drink but it was so busy to get another drink we would have had to queue for another hour. So maybe they could invest in some table service staff for exceptionally busy times.
I buy my Polish bread here which is very good however the poppy seed cakes taste like dry sweet buns - year by year less poppy seeds - can’t taste them at all !!!

A Chorlton institution and for a good reason!! 10/10 in every department, from the amazing selection of cheese and cured meats, the better than Gregg's pasties, too much good bread, unbelievable sweets and pastries! Sugared ring donut is my favourite, but anything you get is great!

The Barbakan is a wonder bakery/deli full of many delights plus at the same time amusing and annoying. Warning to vegetarians and vegans....you have to queue which isn't a problem but you will be waiting next to a monster sausage barbecue right by the door, then once you get inside all of the delicious breads are clearly visible giving you lots of time to make a decision. However there will always be a number of people in front of you being served that have no clue as to what they want even though they have had an age to decide whilst waiting. Always worth a visit.

Great sevice from freindly staff and amazing fresh baked produce. The only problem I had with my visit was finding somewhere to park . the horrendous ongoing roadworks are a nightmare and don't look like the work will be finished soon. It must be having a huge impact on the small business. People of chorlton must be so fed up with it. I parked in the tesco garage nearby risking a fine so had to be quick.

I chose their hot meat loaf sandwich which I found tasty however it's hard to justify the price of £5.80, I couldn't even taste the meat loaf as the slice is quite thin which looks like just a slice of ham. They have a good selection of olives, breads and meats.

Legendary place. Consistently excellent.
