The 50 most iconic people, places and things in Swansea
As Swansea celebrates 50 years since becoming a city, we take a look at some of its biggest iconsWe're so pleased to announce a partnership with Wally's Delicatessen who will be supplying our Cardiff Parlour with Cannolis.
We chose Wally's because they share the same heritage, family values and passion to provide quality products as we do. We hope to explore this partnership and offer more Italian deserts to our customers.
You can find Hazelnut & Lemon Cannolis in our Cardiff parlour NOW.

Wally's story starts with Ignatz (Wally's father) who fled Europe during the Nazi occupation. In 1947, after working in the UK for some time, he decided to open a delicatessen in Bridge Street in Cardiff, on the site where the John Lewis store now stands.
Ignatz (also known as Ivor) had the benefit of his experience of running a general store in Austria and this was to prove invaluable to him in his new venture. Responding to the needs of the newly arrived immigrant community from Eastern Europe, the shop soon started selling and specialising in Polish cooked meats and pickles, Hungarian salamis, German hams and sausages and European-style breads. Later expanding into Italian and Spanish markets.
After a few years Walter (Wally) and his brother Otto joined their father in the family business. Both brothers were teenagers at that time and had left school with no formal qualifications. Wally and Otto worked with their father until Ignatz died in 1963.
In 1981, the Salamon brothers went their separate ways, with Wally opting to open a delicatessen in the Royal Arcade while his brother decided on Caroline Street.
Wally Salamon decided to name his delicatessen Wally's Delicatessen, because he considered it an old-fashioned virtue that shopkeepers named their shop after themselves. The core business continued to be health foods and continental meats - though now with more Italian and Spanish varieties joining the German and Eastern European cuts, and there was a new emphasis on oriental foods and spices.
Wally's son, Steven, joined the business in 1993 and continues to run the family business, honouring his fathers legacy.

Every single Italian ice cream I've eaten was benchmarked against @JoesIceCream. Very few were worthy of the test, and noone has outranked Joe's yet!!🍦🍦
