The Alberts Deli

You're walking down Worple Way in Richmond and you catch the smell of fresh bread and good coffee. That's your cue to push through the door. Inside, it's properly continental—the kind of place where regulars know the staff, the pastry cabinet is genuinely difficult to choose from, and you'll spot locals queuing for lunch between the vintage tins and carefully curated deli counter. They take their cured meats seriously here, which means the charcuterie boards aren't just Instagram fodder. There's proper attention paid to what goes into them. The coffee's good too, which matters because you'll want an excuse to linger at one of the small tables with whatever newspaper's left behind.
