About
Fresco DeliKafessen brings something more distinctive to Guildford's café scene than the standard coffee-and-cake formula. Founded by University of Surrey graduates, it leans proudly into Greek and Mediterranean flavours, with a menu that runs from specialist hot and iced drinks to pastries, waffles and sweeter treats.\n\nIt is the kind of place that feels personal rather than generic, and that personality is a big part of the draw. There is enough variety to make it work for quick coffees, light lunches or a more indulgent stop when you want something different from the usual brunch suspects.\n\nFor flavour, warmth and a café identity that actually stands out, Fresco is one of Guildford's best picks.
