AI image by LocalRankA deli can mean a lunchtime sandwich counter, a shop selling cold cuts and cured meats by weight, or an online gourmet grocer that ships charcuterie to your door. This guide gathers eight Singapore delis across those formats, from CBD sandwich counters to a Joo Chiat butcher-deli and a platter-led Italian gastronomia. Each was checked against its own website or recent 2025-2026 coverage, and every description is attributed to what the business or the cited press publishes. We leave out prices, since menus and stock change often. Use the area notes to pick the format that suits you, then confirm hours and ordering directly before you go.
1. Oh Deli
Oh Deli presents itself as an online store for Australian gourmet food, created by four sisters who say they work with farmers and producers to bring meat, produce, wines and gourmet items from Australia and Europe to Singapore. Its shop menu includes a dedicated Deli and Cold Cut section covering antipasto, cold cuts, bacon and smoked seafood, alongside fresh chilled meats, fresh gourmet sausages, dairy, bakery items and pantry goods. The site also sells gourmet hampers and quick-and-easy meals. A news post dated January 2026 on its homepage shows the shop was active this year, and the page lists a phone line, a WhatsApp number and a sales email for questions. It suits shoppers who want deli staples bought together with proper cuts of meat.

2. Baggie's Deli
Baggie's calls itself a local butcher and deli and describes its roots in South African food. Its About page says the founders began making biltong in 2017 after struggling to find a version they liked here, then grew from a small shop at Fortune Centre to a Joo Chiat store they moved into in April 2021. The online shop lists biltong in several flavours, droewors, pork cabanossi, boerewors, fresh cuts, pantry items, breads, wines, gins and a Braai and BBQ category. The site offers in-store pickup for online orders, home delivery, and filters for halal, vegan and gluten-free ranges, and its footer carries a 2026 date. It is a good stop for cured snacks and sausages you will not find in a standard supermarket.

3. Delicia
Delicia describes itself as a retailer of gourmet and specialty foods delivered across Singapore, and its footer shows a 2026 copyright. The category list is long, but the section that matters here is Delicatessen and Cold Cuts, which the site says features Spanish Iberico products and charcuterie, supported by separate Cheese and Dairy, Breads and Pastries, Truffles, Foie Gras and Caviar sections. Customers can order online for delivery or, as the site puts it, choose in-shop pickup, and a phone and WhatsApp line is printed for queries. Delicia is a convenient route for building a party spread in one basket: cured meats, cheeses, breads and condiments from a single site, without visiting several shops across the island.

4. Da Paolo Gastronomia
Da Paolo is a long-established Italian restaurant group whose gastronomia outlets sit between a casual eatery and a deli. Its food-to-order site lists cheese and charcuterie platters built around European cheeses, cold cuts, seasonal fruit, nuts and accompaniments, with smaller versions and a meat-free option for different group sizes. The same site also sells pasta and lasagna trays, pizza, bakery items, gelato and an Italian pantry that includes antipasti and preserves, so a deli spread can be rounded out with hot dishes. A separate enquiry address is printed for corporate and large grazing orders, and the footer shows a 2026 date. It suits hosts who want Italian-style cold cuts and cheese arranged for them, rather than assembling each component.

5. Between Buns Deli
Between Buns Deli began as a home-based sandwich brand founded in 2020 and, according to Time Out, opened its first storefront in April 2026. The shop at SBF Centre serves a weekday CBD crowd, and its site describes tuna melts, French dips and other deli classics, plus breakfast sandwiches, coffee, grain bowls, salads and fresh bakes. A May 2026 Honeycombers review mentions an oxtail melt, a tuna melt, a roasted broccolini sandwich with stracciatella and a fried chicken burger, and says the shop takes no reservations and can sell out before closing. Its site links to online ordering with islandwide delivery. It is best for a hot, filling lunch, so check the weekday hours and arrive early.

6. Mamma Mia Focaccia
Mamma Mia Focaccia is a grab-and-go Italian-style deli on Amoy Street with no seating, run by two chefs, one from Spain and one from Italy, according to coverage of its October 2025 opening. Its signature offering is house-made focaccia filled with cold cuts and cheese, and Time Out's January 2026 update names mortadella, salame, San Daniele, coppa, porchetta and stracciatella among the fillings, with all ten signature sandwiches now available in half sizes. Time Out also reported longer weekday hours and a hidden champagne bar behind the shop's red door, and said a retail deli selling cured meats and cheeses by weight was planned. We could not confirm that counter has opened, so ask first. It has no website; its Instagram handle is mammamiafocaccia.

7. Marlow's Deli
Marlow's Deli is a sandwich-led deli brand that, according to HungryGoWhere's October 2025 review, grew out of the team behind Wooly's Bagels and now trades from two outlets, one on Joo Chiat Road and one on Rangoon Road. The same review describes sandwiches including a salt beef sanga, an Ocean Melt fish sandwich and a vegetarian Plant Daddy, along with sides such as potato salad and chicken tenders and a strawberry matcha foam drink. A June 2026 HungryGoWhere sandwich roundup still lists the brand, which supports the view that it is trading this year. The brand does not appear to publish a website, so use its Instagram account, marlowsdeli, to check menus, opening hours and any outlet changes before you make the trip.

8. Park Bench Deli
Park Bench Deli built its reputation on stacked deli sandwiches at a Telok Ayer shop, which closed in 2023. Time Out reported in May 2026 that the brand returned as a food truck at Ocean Financial Centre, and the brand's own site says it is back in the CBD, on weekdays at the atrium. The truck's menu is tighter than the old shop's, and Time Out's coverage mentions a cheesesteak, a steak frites sandwich and the Goodfellas, which is filled with mortadella and Iberico salami. Reports describe the truck as a limited run rather than a permanent shop, and different sources give different hours. Check its Instagram page, parkbenchdeli, before queueing, since the site points customers to a QR code for the latest menu.

How to choose
- Decide which kind of deli you need first. A sandwich counter such as Between Buns Deli or Mamma Mia Focaccia suits a quick weekday lunch, while a shop like Oh Deli, Delicia or Baggie's suits stocking the fridge. Matching the format to the occasion saves the most time and money.
- Ask how cold cuts and cheeses are sold. Some delis slice to order by weight, some sell pre-packed items, and others only offer platters or sandwiches. Check each shop's site or social page for the format, and ask about minimum quantities before ordering for a gathering.
- Check whether the business is a permanent shopfront, an online store or a temporary stall. Park Bench Deli's current truck is described by press as a limited run, and several delis here sell only for delivery or pickup. Confirm the status in the last month before travelling.
- Look at the ingredients and origin as the business states them. Delis often describe imported hams, cheeses and breads, but those are the seller's claims. Ask where a product comes from, how it is stored and when it was sliced, and request allergen details when serving guests.
- Confirm hours, ordering method and delivery terms directly. Several delis here keep short weekday hours, take walk-ins only, or sell out early, and delivery rules differ by seller. Use the contact route each business publishes, and always check current menus and availability before you plan a trip.
