If you leave the De’lish store without having bought a single thing, I commend you on your self-discipline. De’lish has a wonderful and delicious (no pun intended) range of specialty foods on offer. Owner Vicky stresses that De’lish customers understand quality.
De’lish sell their own homemade products, complemented by other specialty goods (like our bread!). Some of their products (that are made from scratch in the commercial kitchen on site) include pasta sauces, casseroles, soups, stocks and of course everything that you see in the cabinet. Today there are fritters, salads, sandwiches and quiches on display.
The products are all about quality and integrity. Their curries are made with real coconut milk (and splitting the coconut milk takes a whole day).
If you’re after some Nashua washed rind or a d’Affinois, you’ve come to the right place. Vicky and Assistant Manager Brendan buy things that they like: their favourite cheeses, their favourite breads, their favourite chutneys…
“We try not to follow trends,” Vicky points out. Instead, this store is about integrity. Vicky also knows that supermarkets aren’t competitors because of their distinct target markets. It’s cohabitation, not rivalry.
Vicky further proves she’s intent on integrity and awareness when she indicates that De’lish wants to create a connection for consumers about who their suppliers are. So in our instance, one of the sandwiches in the cabinet uses our Rustic Loaf. Everyday a new page is printed out to label the products accordingly.

I’m impressed that Vicky is so adamant about customers understanding the product they’re buying. It’s not often that delis and cafes will label their sandwiches with the brand of bread they use! The bottom line is we’re very happy that she does, because Brasserie Bread gets to be a part of it everyday 
Three things we like about De’lish:
1. They have a brand new website!
See the spiffy new website here for further information on their catering, cooking classes and hampers.
2. Our bread makes an appearance in not only their retail store and daily sandwiches but also in their catering
Of the 12 years De’lish has been around, the team has been purchasing Brasserie Bread products for six years. Vicky and Brendan’s favourite Brasserie Bread product is the Caramelised Garlic Bread, but they say that the top-selling breads are our Rustic Loaf and the Bakers Round in our Organic Sourdough range.
In catering, De’lish uses our cute, little Cocktail Burger Buns for a selection of burger creations, including a Tandoori chicken burger, a lamb burger with mint and cumin, and a vegetarian burger with roasted eggplant and a capsicum & chive salsa. The Rustic Loaf also plays a part in an Alaskan crab dish of theirs. De’lish offers various catering services, including corporate catering and children’s parties.
For other stockists as well cafes and restaurants that sell our bread, check out our Find Our Bread map here.
3. They’re looking to kick off a market day once a month
Vicky mentions that she’s waiting for the council to approve a market day on the foot path outside their store. I think this is such an inspired idea. The potential for delicious produce and quality goods on the side of the road will not only be drawing in consumers but also keeping them informed on fresh and superior products. We hope this monthly market day will start up soon!

Happened across this store by accident when I was viewing rental properties in the area and immediately fell in love with it – such a wide range of products for a small store. Went as far as to exclaim to the husband that I wouldn’t mind running a place like this!
