See, that would be a tea shop around here, if there was such a thing, which there isn't (we aren't a tea shop sort of suburb)!
When I lived in Adelaide, they called their milk bars delis, but basically they were somewhere between a milk bar and a fish and chip shop - sometimes they'd have pies and sausage rolls and sandwiches, sometimes fish and chips and burgers, sometimes just milk and icecreams and sweets and packets of chips. Nothing there that I'd expect to find at a deli in Melbourne, though.
But I've never lived anywhere rural, so that would be the difference.
