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

Proper English breakfast 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Super friendly owner, fast service, chill vibes, top quality food. Love it 👏

Delicious chicken burger! The owner is lovely and friendly. He makes sure the food & coffee is high quality. I also highly recommend the iced coffee.

It's my first time in here, I was welcome with a smiling face. I ordered bacon, Lettuce and tomato toasted bloomers with a peppermint tea which was good. If you prefer to be in quite, peaceful place and good service. You should definitely try this cafe.

A neat, clean and cozy cafe in Carshalton. The owner, is the loveliest and most welcoming person ever, going above and beyond to look after his customers. The atmosphere is peaceful and cozy, attracting lovely and kind fellow customers too. Food was fresh, authentic and just delicious. I ordered the American-style chicken burger...it was the freshest and juiciest burger I ever had! Alongside came the most flavourful and crispiest fries and sour pickle with the fresh crunch - just the way I like it! An array of condiments and sides were available too. The Cappuccino is just brilliant. Period. 100% recommend the coffee and the food. I am always in a rush in my short lunch break, catching up on calls and trying to scoff my food at the same time. Owner was kind enough to pack the food I couldn't finish and I ended up enjoying it at home in the evening! Owner is the most kindest and warmest host. I always leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and in a brilliant mood back to work. Definitely going again whenever I get the chance to! Thank you so much for your lovely service and thoughtfulness 🥰🥰🥰 I really appreciate it

Amazing, cozy place! Coffee is great, food is delicious, staff are very friendly. Well decorated, lovely bits and pieces to get for someone special. Nice touch having children’s books for the little ones. Just a fab experience! Will definitely be back.

What a beautiful little tea room - and so fabulous to have freshly baked cakes ( unlike many of the Carshalton tea rooms!). The owner literally mixed and baked brownies whilst we enjoyed our coffee and warm croissants. The smell was amazing! Everything reasonably priced too and small selection of gifts and birthday cards. Loved it! Only problem was that it wasn’t busy which meant the atmosphere could have been better. Will be spreading the word to get more people there.

Friendly Staff, Cozy place and loved their decor. You can definitely have your me time. Wish the place was open on Sunday's

Ostensibly, Sweet Cuppa is on top of the grandest, most versatile, and homely cafes I have visited. The ambiance of its immediate environment is subtly mesmerising, inviting, and aesthetically laid out to consciously compliment our organoleptic tendencies. Their menu is everything, and their products are to die for: you can never have enough of them, they are marvelously fantastic. I will always cherish my first visit to Sweet Cuppa, and I will be back more in the future.

Nice coffee, fresh patisseries (Different types of Croissants, Pan a chocolate & Pains aux raisins), delicious soups served with a nice chunky sourdough bread and other items from a limited menu. Haven't tried their wines though.. all served in a very nice environment and fairly prompt service.

Lovely selection of Italian pastries, home made sourdough bread, tasty and healthy lunch food and much more. Daniela and her team are welcoming and kind.

Just had another amazing lunch at Love Daniella’s definitely recommend you try this place amazing food welcoming staff And a relaxed atmosphere 5*

Lovely cafe and lunch restaurant! Really friendly staff and amazing cakes! Highly recommended to stop in :-)

4 of my friends and I come every Monday morning come rain or shine. We love the coffee. Super friendly staff. Morgan even brought us an umbrella to sit under once when it was raining! Keep up the good work Sassis. It's great to have such a wonderful independent coffee shop on our doorstep.

What an absolute gem of a cafe! Popped in for some lunch (not expecting much) and we had the most delightful time. The sandwiches were delicious and the sausage rolls are TO DIE FOR. Also had their slush-like coffee which was thick and rich (like a milkshake) and we were tempted by their wide range of desserts but were too full. So much choice for such a small cafe - amazing drinks and dessert selection. A must visit!

Accidentally came across Sassis on a walk through Carshalton a few weeks back, what a gem! The coffees were lovingly prepared... You know the ones where they ask you if you need sugar before the coffees made, perfect! This is not the end.... The waffle with ice-cream I had was...THE BEST WAFFLE I'VE EVER HAD. So good I'm reviewing it three weeks later. It showed these people love food and drink they make.

This bakery never disappoints. Local to me and everything is freshly baked daily.

The best bakery with the friendliest of staff with fabulous produce. I had the Christmas afternoon tea today and it was extremely good value with the tastiest sandwiches and delicious scones and cakes that you could wish for. As always the staff were friendly. Every visit I make to this bakery does not disappoint whether it's for coffee, breakfast, lunch or bakery goodies I enjoy what it has to offer. This is due to the choice, the price, the taste, the freshness and the friendly staff.

Best Bakery Ever! The sourdough is the best you can get here. Even the breakfast food are marvellous! This is my favourite place in Carshalton Beeches. It has a very friendly atmosphere.

Beautiful cafe and bakery with plenty of space, decent prices, lovely staff, and tasty food. Great breakfast foods. Would go again if in the area.

Carshalton has been waiting years for third wave coffee and a modern take on brunch. Rubes opening has been a friendly outpost that feels like it’s been part of the neighbourhood for ages. Really friendly team, serious about coffee, and some really tasty Things on Toast (and sandwiches too). If you’ve been, you know this already, and if you haven’t, why haven’t you? Make plans to go, today!

First time here and will definitely come back. Great to see a local business in the area. The place has a lovely atmosphere and very chilled. Latte was great and the sausage roll tasty. Highly recommended

Came for the first time. Order 2 decaf cappuccinos, poached egg, bacon sandwich, pastry. Would of ordered sausage roll but honestly it shocks me the way they are displayed , on the counter uncovered, everyone breathing all over, dogs inside the caffe too. Same as the pastries plz cover them or put in a display unit. Our food arrived and we still waited for our cappuccino’s, it wasnt busy. But takeaway drinks being prioritised and the Barista was busy chatting with a friend. Finally got our capps 15mins after ordering. Unfortunately the capp was disappointing, great art but was a latte there was literally no foam. My photo is as the coffee was placed down. When the barista can see as he places the coffee that its wobbling etc this is not a Cappuccino and should be taken straight back and remade. The food was nice, great sourdough. The poached egg was nice but a garnish would of made it better and also another slice of toast to mop up the eggs. Bacon sarnie was very good nice bacon and filling. The staff at till and serving where lovely, service 4 star due to the capp situation. Will probably try again but as a coffee shop plz get your Cappucino correct, i def dont favour art over a well made cappucino!

Carshalton has many things going for it - lots of different pubs, serene parks, the river wandle, a sense of history. However what it has profoundly lacked is a decent Cafè/brunch space which focusses on quality of produce and service. The emergence of Rubes has been an utter game changer to the area and has transformed my perception of what was a declining high street. The food is excellent, the staff are very friendly, and the coffee is up there with the best across London - that is not hyperbole. You can feel the passion of the owner and staff that comes through the exciting, worldly food and coffee. We attended the first of their in-demand “supper clubs” - a really cool concept which featured an excellent 5-course meal and a demonstration of technically highly skilled cooking. Looking at other reviews it is clear that I am not the only customer that appreciates the impact this business has had on the quality of life in Carshalton. Proud to support this small, innovative local business and really hope it continues to grow and achieve success.

My first English breakfast and I loved it the price is great and the quantity of food surprised me. I was so full that I didn't even have lunch. The food is good and the service is great. I really enjoyed it. They serve a variety of breakfasts including an all vegetarian one.

This is the best cafe around, the service is great. Cooked fresh, good value for money

One of the best breakfast meals I've ever had in London. Friendly staff, excellent service, a place I will always go back.

Lovely place. The owners Gilbert and Maria are so friendly. Fast becoming my favourite place to go.

Such a lovely friendly cafe. The food is delicious and served in generous quantities.

Really nice and friendly owner operated cafe. Very conscientious about allergies and intolerances. Nice sunny spot for a morning drink and book read!

Bought a Tuna salad sandwich on white bread, very tasty and reasonably priced. Service with a smile. Would return when in the area.

Great food freshly served, roast beef so tender roast potatoes like mothers used to bake. Can't fault the staff or the food.

Banging cafe food service everything good

Good food even take my take away orders from outside the door when I'm walking my dogsl used for takeaway and eat in. Both great

Nice local place for coffee, drink and bite to eat.

I've asked for a coffee ☕️ and the taste is really good 👍, thanks to John great hospitality and nice chat. I will comeback for sure.
