The Best Cafes in Camberwell, Greater London, United Kingdom (2025)

Been in Mary's quite a few times over the years, it's just had a fab facelift but this hasn't affected the friendly atmosphere nor the affordable prices. Nothing is ever a problem for H.Food is always yum, cooked by the lovely Hatice. You can't get a sausage like theirs anywhere else. So if your looking for good homecooked food head to Marys.

Just opened after an amazing refit, glad to say the food is still 5star, just like the warm welcome , taking service to a different level, can I give Mary’s 10 stars

Everything you could want from a London caff. Service is friendly and everyone gets a warm welcome, whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time. Expect generous portion fry ups, proper cups of tea and high quality sausages. True South London staple. Support your local caff!

Outstanding fry up. Went for the Big Irish, was so big I had to use the toast to make a sandwich for the road. Old school Walworth vibes, 10/10

Much better place than all the other popular coffee shops such as Irene and Lumberjack that gets packed with people and don’t even have proper wifi. This place is good, owners are lovely and great selection of food.

It was a good surprise to learn this previous cafe that closed months ago is now open again under different owner. Their cakes are all so yummy and baked by the owner in the premises as far as I know. One of my faves is their fruit flans. My nephew loves them too. Hubby likes all of them so you can get him any he'll be happy. Their toasted sandwiches are all good too esp the bread itself. I like my coffee extra hot which some places still make as lukwarm, yes, it is extra hot when it comes to me and that makes me happy. Sitting outside is a bonus on a sunny/dry day as the tree opposite gives enough shade. The owner will have time to answer your questions you might have about their wares... their prices are very attractive too!

My friend Kim and I pop in here each week for tea and cake. There is always a gluten free option and I am a big fan of the chocolate and pear cake. Our favourite part though is catching up with the lovely staff and having a chat. Always so friendly and welcoming and one of our favourite Camberwell corners ♥️

A small and beautiful coffee shop. Opened six weeks ago. Lovely staff and amazing place full of plants. I just had an oat latte.

Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on sourdough - a huge plate! and a huge pot of tea, sat outside in the winter sun watching the world go by. Warm welcome and really good quality food. Thank you, a much needed change from hospital offerings on a clinic day!

I’ve been twice already. Really nice food and vibe. Big portions at a higher price though.

We went here for a Sunday brunch, and it was a lovely surprise. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming, and the laid-back atmosphere, with the windows folded open, just added to the sunny atmosphere. I went for full English, while my wife went for the North American. Youngest got eggs benedict and daughter a roll. All were declared delicious, and the smoothies were also very well done. The only fault is the cup of tea is the usual meh, but that's London water for you and beyond anyone's control unless you buy bottled water to make tea. I'd not hesitate to recommend this place. It's a little gem.

Just discovered this cafe as I have moved into the area and it's amazing! Great coffee, a cozy atmosphere and has a variety of food choices. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Banging full English. Highlights were the mushrooms and egg. Good craic too, the owner was lovely and the waiter was funny. Would highly recommend. Good art on the wall too

First time at family cafe went with family and everything we ordered was delicious and food was great atmosphere and great service We will be back for breakfast and lunch from now.😍👍 Thank you.

ROCK STEADY EDDIE'S. Firstly: it's the best named cafe in London, right? Solid fare, Americana on the walls. NHS staff gossiping, local folks who look like they've not seen sunshine for several years. I love it.

Ok food for a good price. For less than 9 pounds you can get breakfast and something to drink and be full and ready for the day. The local is not so clean and it has seen better years, but it has a climate. The staff was ignoring us and they seemed to be busy all the time even though there were not so many people in. But after all I could recommend it.

Fantastic cafe Great service Absolutely brilliant staff Food is good Called yesterday morning for poached egg on toast and a cuppa 3 pound 10 pence I thought that it was that great of value for money I went out of my way the same day to call again for fish and chips With peas gravy and a tea 7 pound 10 pence Can't recommend this place enough
