Beating off hundreds of other national contenders, the family run business, which is now in its sixth year, was given the accolade for its diverse range of deli offerings.
Rose Prince, Telegraph Magazine food columnist and judge said of Caracoli: "All the strengths of a great deli lie in this year’s winner; there are artisan breads, charcuterie and a range of antipasti that changes constantly with the seasons.
"Wines, well-made coffee, fabulous T2 teas from Australia, pasta and rice plus honey and the shop’s own-made muesli and granola… it sounds like a lot but this is actually a carefully edited shop that truly respects their customers’ right to have the best."
Supported by Mary Portas, Shop! columnist for the magazine, the awards focused on small, independent retailers on Britain’s high streets, voted for by their loyal customers.
Caracoli managing director and co-owner James Nichols said: "Being nominated for the Best Small Shop Awards by our customers was a huge compliment and we waited with bated breath to hear the judge’s final decision.
"To win is a real high point for us and a fantastic accolade to everyone who works hard to make Caracoli what it is. It is confirmation that striving for high quality, delicious food and drink is worth while."
