What can I say other than this place is amazing! A real hidden gem, and one I want to keep secret so it doesn’t get overwhelmed; but also want to scream about to everyone because it’s so brilliant! Given it’s size, there aren’t huge numbers of tables and this isn’t somewhere you want to rush. I would highly recommend booking a table in advance - especially during the current restrictions. The decor is unique as a concept, all of the plants are for sale and there is also a selection of terrariums (which are beautifully made) along with pots and other small indoor gardening things which are for sale. They’re not cheap, but they are expertly made - a FAR cry from anything you’d see at the local garden centre. These are artisan level, seriously! Nestled in amongst all of this are the tables to sit at which gives a wonderful atmosphere. It could be throwing it down outside and you’d leave expecting it to be sunny and warm after you’ve spent any time in here. The staff and the owners are truly lovely people and the service is perfect. The food is simple, very reasonably priced and delicious - the perfect combination! They also had a lemon and orange cake when I went which was clearly homemade and tasted exceptionally good - and it was £3 a slice to boot! I left feeling happily full both in my stomach and my soul. There is an extensive wine list (all South African wines), and a couple of good non-alcoholic drinks options in addition to teas and coffees. There is NO doubt in my mind that I will be returning on a regular basis. Thank you!!

It is a shame that lock down has prevented this shop and wine bar from being what it is meant to be; a great place to come and see people. At the moment it is a mixture between cafe, flower shop and wine shop. Given the current situation it is doing all of these things well, I just cant wait for it to reopen fully. Maybe by May? This is a good place to get take out coffee and croissants. Its not too expensive and the coffee is very good, smoother and hot. It is also a good place to get impressive house plants and pots. I really love the floating/hovering bonsai tree pots, and miniature Zen gardens. At last the wine, it is an 'amazing' South African wine shop. From Rickety Bridge to Chocolate Bar, you can find a bottle of red or white for any meal. They even sell organic certified brands. On a budget you can spend £7-8 or wanting to splash out they sell some premium bottles for £35+. The staff know what they are talking about and very willing to discuss flavours and tastes. As I this wine bar is perfect but not yet fulfilling its potential. When it is fully open you can book for a private party with a capacity of about 35. Or drop in for a 'lunch' and glass. I recommend it

Lovely atmosphere, small friendly and the staff were a delight… as a non drinker it was great to sit in a wine bar enjoying a lovely hot chocolate whilst my friend sampled the wine!

Hired this venue for a private event. Staff were amazing, really helpful before and during the event. I ordered a grazing table there was more than enough food for everyone. Would definitely recommend.

Attended a Jazz/rat pack event organised by Stella. This was our first time since it had changed owners. We were greeted by Adam as we arrived. Ordered our drinks and he said he would bring them over. We chose a medium signature platter. More than enough for 2 . A selection of meats and cheeses. We were impressed it came with a demi baguette . It was all delicious. Hubby had the Wimbledon beer . Which he raved about and I had several cocktails. Instead of opting from tne good selection of wines. The atmosphere was great and food delicious. The staff attentive. We will definitely be back.

I Calabresi is a charming Italian deli offering a wide selection of dried goods and sweet treats. We went for breakfast and whilst no breakfast is served, the coffee is decent and the staff is friendly. The interior could use a refresh, but the authentic Italian products make it worth a visit.

I'll join all the praises. This place doesn't get them because it's the only coffee shop in the area. It makes a great coffee, by all standards. And the owner was super friendly as well. Iced flat white was just what we needed after a hike!

Dropped into Bliss Caffe for a meeting and a coffee on Wednesday, and it was a great experience. The staff were super lovely—friendly and attentive—and the coffee was absolutely cracking. A perfect spot for a catch-up or a quick caffeine fix. Highly recommend!

Every Sunday after church, my children and I like to visit Bliss Caffe. We always have a great time there! My kids love to order waffles with fruit toppings and a chocolate drizzle. Here's a picture of them thoroughly enjoying it! 😄 The customer service is fantastic, and the food is served promptly.

Better food options since last visit. The fish finger sandwich is a really nice idea. It would have been nice if it was lightly toasted and more sauce would be great. The cheese slices didn't seem like Jarlsberg which have holes like Swiss Cheese, it was just processed cheese.

Hi there, I'm posting today to recommend DD's Cafe based on the Chipstead Valley Road, Coulsdon. I am eating here 4 or 5 days a week (lunchtimes), the food is very tasty, and the Cottage Pie is to die for, and very reasonably priced. The young couple who run the establishment, are personable, run a clean, friendly cafe....a little gem.

I like small businesses and use them a lot. I met Steve ( actual name is Sean but everyone e calls him Steve) the owner and his wife Chi (Clare) about 11 years ago. Regularly stop for a breakfast and cup of tea. I like tge little homely touches. I have brought in customers many times for them but not left a review as yet. I always go for the British menu but Sean does cook Chinese to. You will understand better when you get there. EASY, FRIENDLY AND ACCOMMODATING. If coming by car parking in Coulsdon a huge problem now as they built on the biggest one just around thr corner from DD cafe.

A lovely spot in Coulsdon! The cafe has a charming, traditional ambiance that makes you feel at home right away. The owners are warm and welcoming, polite and genuinely friendly, which really adds to the experience. They serve good, honest food at very reasonable prices – no frills, just quality meals that hit the spot. Service is excellent, and you can tell they care about their customers. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a good cafe with a personal touch. This covers all your points and gives a potential customer a great sense of what to expect!

So happy Abuelas opened. It’s the perfect play place for my 1&3 year old - they are both entertained and safe there. The owner is so lovely and welcoming and is absolutely great with children. The staff regularly clean and reset the play area which makes a huge difference to how appealing it is for kids. The coffee is delicious, the food is pitched just right for kids and adults and the atmosphere is really welcoming. Highly recommend the cakes too.

Have been a few times to this lovely cafe since its opening. It’s been great to have this venue open on our doorstep as a meet up place for new mums and dads and a safe space to take our growing babies to. I look forward to many more visits. It’s hard not to walk past on my trips to town without being tempted to buy a piece of their delicious cakes! The staff are welcoming and very attentive and nothing is too much trouble.

We adore this local cafe giving my 9 month old an opportunity to play and learn within walking distance of our home. The staff are so warm and happy to accommodate any specific requests. My friend and I had a delicious toastie and iced coffee while we watched our children playing together. We are so grateful for all of the hard work the owner Natalia puts into keeping the space clean and fresh. It’s a real gem and asset to the community.

Lovely place that felt bright and breezy inside and out. I was only there briefly for about half an hour at most and enjoyed a lovely coffee and shared a tuna & sweetcorn toastie with my friend which was very nice. The ingredients tasted fresh. The lady working there who was the owner I think was very pleasant and friendly. The cafe itself seemed small inside although quaint almost, unusual and inviting ~ somewhere to hide away if you wanted to and then the patio garden at the front of the cafe had enough space to house a few tables and chairs, under umbrellas and it all looked out on to a quieter road coming off of a busier street. It was quite delightful but then it was also a lovely hot day and I was feeling in a good mood and these sorts of things also make a difference, don't they? But like I said the lady was nice, the one working there... welcoming but not ott like 👍 I would definitely go there again How can I forget to mention... There were what looked like some delicious cakes inside the cafe, at the counter when I went up to pay, but I didn't buy one.. I was thinking, "Ahh, when I come again I'll have to try one!"

Absolutely delightful cafe! My partner and I recently moved to the area, and visited for the first time today. We were greeted warmly by the owner (such a friendly man!) and his lovely family, and were served very professionally. The sandwiches and smoothies we had were extremely good - very clearly freshly made with proper ingredients. The owner told us that the brie they use is imported straight from France, and you can tell! This will definitely become our cafe of choice from now on, both for the quality of the food and the friendliness of the owners.

This cafe is great- the owners are lovely. I often go for coffee and a snack and they are always very accommodating. I have 2 young kids and they treat them so well, the owner is so engaging. The post below is not accurate- just today they allowed my daughter to use the toilet even though I had bought a coffee half an hour earlier, I could never imagine them not allowing a child in need.

This is my favourite place in Old Coulsdon for coffee and a cake with friends. Dogs are welcome too and staff are very friendly. Wide ranging menu includes breakfast and brunch items as well as pizza. Toffee fudge cake I had on Tuesday was amazing and the carrot cake is fantastic too. Also always get a couple of items takeaway to enjoy the next day. Marvellous selection of Marshfields ice cream flavours. Loyalty scheme available too. It now has an on site loo and baby changing room.
