Croydon In The 2010s - Differences between Version 27 and Version 26 of La Spezia, 12 Ye Market, Selsdon Road

Italian deli and cafe on Selsdon Road in South Croydon.

As of August 2012, boards outside advertise "sandwiches, coffee, tea, cakes, home-made sauces, pasta, salumi misti, selection of great cheeses, Polish food, vegetarian salad bar".

On a September 2012 visit, the Polish food wasn't particularly obvious, but they did have a selection of Italian groceries including ground coffee, De Cecco pasta, Metellania tinned tomatoes, passata, olive oil, huge jars of sundried tomatoes, ready-made pasta sauces, and jars of antipasto. Meats and cheeses were displayed inside a chill counter, and a frozen stand offered La Rustica ice cream. There was also a small selection of fresh vegetables, and various Italian breads (baked by an Italian bakery in Wimbledon).

It has seating for about a dozen people at one communal table plus two others for two and four people respectively. Food is served during all hours they're open.

Accessibility: A step to get in. It's quite small inside, and the floor is cluttered with stock.
