The Bayleaf Delicatessen

Excellent deli, good range of foodstuffs and excellent service. Particularly liked the Westray bakery biscuits

Friendly people and a good selection of Orkney foodstuffs. the cheeses especially very tasty and the only place I could get my favorite soft drink

Called in for a takeaway coffee and some local oatcakes and cheese, a really good range of products, and super friendly staff. Worth a visit every time.

A good range of fine food and great coffee for sale. The cheeses are fine, Orkney and overseas. A number of orkney sauces, chutneys, jams etc as well as fish.

I really liked this deli I wish I had such a good one near my town! Picked up a superb crab roll and tea for a takeaway lunch, eaten on one of the benches handily placed outside.

Great little spot for tea or coffee and a sweet snack. Impressive selection of hampers, essentially food baskets built around a theme, or to your taste. Don 't miss the Millionaire Shortbreads!

Excellent deli in the heart of Stromness’s cobbled streets. If you buy nothing else, buy a sourdough loaf. Accompanied by some local butter and cheese (and where you’re at it why not some chutney) and you have a feast of kings. Staff are so friendly and helpful.

This shop is full of goodies, and they do an excellent sit in (small sitting area in the window) or take away coffee. If you are in self-catering then you can buy endless treats savoury and sweet, to have at and between meals! There is a range of beautiful local produce and plenty for vegetarians and vegans too. My mouth is watering thinking if my next visit!

By mainland standards in the rest of the UK this is a very average deli. They do have lots of local produce, but you can buy the exact same much cheaper elsewhere. Eg I bought a kilo of Beremeal which I could have got for half the price in a shop in Kirkwall. Overall a bit of a disappointment, Also, all their lunch choices (sandwiches and salads) were fish based, so no good for my vegetarian husband.
