Price Range €5–10

Old Stadium Café & Deli on Triq Testaferrata in Ta' Xbiex fits snugly into the local cafe scene as a spot for quick, satisfying bites and reliable coffee rather than a sprawling hangout. The seating is limited, with a small covered outdoor area at the entrance, making it more suited for a brief pause rather than lingering long hours. Inside is somewhat compact, so expect a cozy, no-frills setting where the focus stays on the food and service.

The café draws a steady local crowd—people looking for a fresh, hearty sandwich or a dependable cup of coffee to fuel their day. The standout here is the freshness of ingredients and generous portion sizes, with the Salmon Bagel often catching the eye of repeat customers. It's a spot where you can get a substantial meal that won’t leave you searching for a second lunch later on.

Service here leans towards warm and friendly with a pace that suits busy mornings or a midday break. Because the café gets busy, especially for sandwiches, arriving earlier in the day helps avoid missing out on your first choice of bread or filling. Prices have remained consistent for a while, reflecting steady value without surprises.

If you’re passing through Ta' Xbiex and need a no-nonsense café experience, Old Stadium Café & Deli is a reliable pick. Ideal for locals grabbing a quick takeaway or anyone who appreciates fresh ingredients and solid coffee served with genuine friendliness.

Have to agree with the previous reviews, food is fresh, staff is very friendly are the prices are fair. Seems like since Oct 2022 the prices have not changed so the picture of the menu (and pricing) is still up to date. Size of the sandwich I got was also good, so it is not like you will be hungry after as well. They have a small space to sit outside (covered) at the entry, inside is not the most atmospheric ever seen, the street is very busy, so would not say the place is suitable for sitting a few hours and to enjoying the weather. For quickly getting breakfast/lunch/coffee, I would say this is a very good place to go. Tried some other sandwich places in the area and this is by far the best I found.

Great experience, extremely friendly staff. The food tasted great and was very affordable. Just make sure to come early if you would like to get a sandwich, as they can get quite busy and run out of bread.
