Great little place for a halal breakfast with a nice twist.

Kind of a hidden gem if you will. Was looking online and saw reviews of this place and thought, great, a nice halal breakfast place. Gave them a call and they weren't able to do bookings but the staff were lovely and told us to come down and they would make space. I took a group of 6 of us and within a couple of minutes we were seated and given our menus. I must say, staff are really lovely, always smiling, kind, courteous and professional. We ordered our food and although it took a while to come, (only about 15 minutes) it was presented so beautifully that I didn't want to eat it. We all ordered something different and it every meal was delicious and a really good portion as well. The only thing that wasn't as good as I've had elsewhere were the milkshakes. They seems to have a bit too much ice and weren't as thick as I would like, but that is personal preference. Kids really enjoyed it too. There was ample parking available as well. Can't wait to go again.

Recommend cafe. The prices aren't too expensive, the food quality is quite good, and the portions are sufficient. However, the shop is relatively small, but there is parking available on nearby streets.

What a pleasant local cafe. Visited for a last minute brunch. Was so pleasantly surprised. Food was fresh, yummy, HOT, and really good portion sizes (much appreciated, when you see how much shrinkage has plagued food places in this economy). All food was delicious, and made well. Pancakes needed a little more vanilla essence for flavour, and cooked a little less, but were tasty still. Tea mug was a good size. They have decent seating amount for a local cafe. We got lucky with seating and didn't have to wait at a peak time - 12:00pm on a Saturday. Service was fabulous. They had one waitress, but she was very proactive and energetic! Has become our local go to spot for sure. Also, refreshingly affordable prices, which means we'll be more likely to visit more often without wincing. We paid £30 for two mains, extras and two drinks. Free roadside parking.

Always spot on this place, everything is cooked perfectly, service is great and is value for money. We go for either the Mediterranean or the Martil Double and the smoothies are just lovely too. Highly recommended as its also family and children friendly. And it's halal ❤️

Love this place been a couple of times. I avoid during half term as can get really busy. I take my 1yr old the other day and she had a blast. Can’t comment on food as have only had coffee which is beautifully made and taste great. I would recommend separating an area for pre crawling babies so they have somewhere to crawl around without other kids invading their space as toddlers have no spacial awareness.

Boon is such a lovely, welcoming space for mums and young children. There’s plenty of space for babies and little ones to crawl around, bouncy chairs and play mats for babies not yet on the move. There’s plenty of space for pushchairs and a good supply of high chairs so you’re not fighting over space. As a new mum it can be a little daunting getting out and about in public with your new baby but Georgina has really created a space that caters to mums and children alike. Great coffee, cakes and pastries and the new food menu is a great addition (especially the chicken soup).

We love this place the coffee is so good and cakes exceptionally nice and fresh. Most of all Georgina is so welcoming and kind. This place is a one off. ❤️ 😍

We adore Boon. It is honestly such a Godsend! We pop in most days now and always have a lovely time. Georgina is so kind and welcoming and has created the perfect space where everyone just feels at home. Coffee is excellent which helps too! It feels like it’s just as much a place for mums as a place for the babies- which isn’t always the case! We’ve also been to some of the events - like art classes and playgroup and baby massage etc and loved everything. Always reasonably priced and always the same lovely vibe. We love it so much we’ve booked to host a family party there next month.

Absolutely incredible here - if you haven't been, you're seriously missing out. It saved me during maternity leave - there is such a welcoming, kind community for mums, with everyone willing to chat and be open/vulnerable and help one another. There is also a lovely balance of understanding that if you want some alone/down time with you and your child, that's okay too. There is never any pressure to be chatty and full of beans - we all understand that lack of sleep is horrendous. The food is fantastic quality and inexpensive, and the classes/events run there are excellent value - and quite often free! Then the manager Georgina - what can I say? She's saved me on so many occasions with her lovely big smile, kind words and understanding nature. She's even recognised when I've been on the brink of tears, and sat playing with my son so I could have 5 minutes peace and a hot chocolate. I am yet to find another business that genuinely feels like family - Boon is the key support network we all need as mums, so please visit so that you can experience the joy and warmth that every mum needs.

Anna’s Coffee House & Kitchen is a fantastic spot! The cozy atmosphere, excellent coffee, and delicious food make it a must-visit. The staff were friendly and attentive, and they even celebrated one of their team member’s birthdays during my visit, which added such a warm, cheerful vibe. Highly recommend!

If you are in Addiscombe or not, visiting Anna's for breakfast, brunch, lunch is a must! As someone who doesn't eat eggs it was so refreshing to see a different choice with the avocado on toast, the fried tofu not only tasted great but meant I didn't feel I was missing out. The portion was really generous and the quality superb. The service was spot on, friendly and attentive without being OTT. I'll be back again soon to try more of the menu (eyeing up the pulled pork bun next!)

Popped in for a couple of coffees with a close friend while one of our cars was being mot'd, this was the nearest cafe and I'm very glad we stopped in, the staff were very attentive, the drinks were excellent and the cafe was scrupulous clean, would I go here again very definitely yes.

Was recommended this cafe by my local FB page, and I can say, this cafe did not disappoint. Breakfast was spot on. Eggs were perfect, proper mushrooms and bacon. Everything on the plate was delicious. Prices were very reasonable. Very clean, great ambiance and friendly staff. Will definitely be back.

Bright friendly stop for English Breakfast! First time trying English Breakfast in London, was a pleasure trying it here. Felt like a neighborhood spot, workers popping in, friendly chatter, and staff seemed to know a lot of people coming in through the door. A nice place to feel the atmosphere of the neighborhood while enjoying a hearty filling breakfast with tea. The beans were awesome! Thanks for the wonderful experience!

We ordered Uber eats today from this place for the first time, and we were really impressed with the food quality and the size of the proportions. Together with the 2 English breakfasts we ordered 2 bacon baguettes, and because they didn't have baguettes bread, they sent it over 2 bacon buns for each one of us, which was very thoughtful and kind of them. Thank you!

The atmosphere at FILTR was great, the coffee (my oat milk latte) was very smooth and tasty, it is great sustainably sourced coffee. I tried their coconut matcha latte on another occasion and I think they do coffee the best (I felt their was not enough matcha itself in the drink, but this may be personal preference). Seating available inside and outside, which is great to sip your coffee when the sun is out! Incredibly friendly and welcoming staff, great customer service!

This place is a hidden gem ! Rented out the cafe for my birthday celebration with my sister and all of our friends and it was a very good experience. They decorated the place very nicely for us and when we arrived the staff were so friendly and attentive. We were allowed to play our own music which was a plus and we ordered off the wine and cheese menu which was delicious and affordable. I have no bad things to say about this place and would definitely recommend it for a low key birthday event but also their bakery section is very good as well with a lot of variety and vegan options available.

Amazing hidden gem for vegan food! They have a new menu and there's a tiny note saying "vegan options available", and although they don't put it on their menu (they really should!!) they can do a vegan full English breakfast. There's also a guacamole on toast labelled vegan. The biggest thing was we couldn't believe how cheap it was. The guacamole toast was £7 and the full English was £10, and you get so much for the price too, and all great quality. We've easily paid double for this standard.. Seriously good and absolutely worth checking out The whole top shelf of their cake display was vegan too, so naturally I left with a banana and berry muffin to eat at home later Oh and the coffee was very tasty too! Both had with oat milk To the owners - put the vegan options on your menu! It's awesome!! Thank you for my tasty breakfast 😋🤤❤️

I recently dined at Coco and Nut with a group of 10, and I was incredibly impressed with how well they handled our last-minute booking. Despite the short notice, they accommodated our large party with ease. One of the standout aspects was how they catered to all of our dietary requirements—whether it was vegetarian, gluten-free, or any specific allergies, the staff were knowledgeable and ensured everyone had delicious options. Speaking of the staff, they were attentive throughout the entire meal, always checking in to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The menu offered a fantastic range of choices, with something for everyone. Whether you're after something light or a hearty meal, the variety was impressive. Overall, Coco and Nut exceeded our expectations, and I’d highly recommend it for both small and large gatherings!

Had a great brunch here with friends - great service, super accomodating and extremely friendly. Has improved leaps and bounds from the first opening and it's a sorely needed gem around the area. Food and coffee was fantastic and service quick, efficient and polite. Highly recommend. Only thing is more space needed (perhaps at the back?) so more customers can dine and enjoy the great cafe. Veg and vegan options were really good.

It's a weekly ritual to get brunch on the weekend here. The food is incredible from the cooked menu to the displayed sandwiches. The sweets are going straight to your heart. Everything is made with love and care. The service was immaculate, and I adore the homey feeling. We were always asked for feedback on their new products and had such lovely chats with the staff. Lastly, the coffee is so good it's worth just poping in for a quick one.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Aera, and I can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a coffee break. I ordered a creamy coffee, and it was absolutely divine – rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Paired with it was the best almond croissant I’ve ever had. Flaky, buttery, and filled with just the right amount of almond paste, it was the perfect complement to my coffee. If you’re a fan of quality coffee and delicious pastries, Aera is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!

Love it here. I've been a co-working member since December last year, and a long time visitor for coffee in Matthews Yard's various locations and iterations over the years. It's one of a few diamond spots in Croydon - run by genuine and nice people, used by friendly interesting folk, providing an affordable and welcoming space to work from, or meet friends, or get a quiet coffee. FYI, it's best to check socials/ drop them a message to see when the venue is open to the public.

I've been a member at Matthews Yard for a month and have already upgraded from the part time to full time membership. For me as someone who has just started their own company its the perfect place to work with friendly people and a variety of rooms with different setups that I can focus and get stuff done. I've found all members to be super respectful of each other and welcoming. Its also great that I can keep my bike within the building on the days I ride in. All the facilities are well maintained and clean which was really important for me. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who wants a relaxed place to work.

Jan 2024 visit 🥓🍳 👩 Tables looked to be sanded down. Much better now. The host is buzzing around on Sunday morning to get everything moving as it got super busy by 10 AM. Good food. Great location and outdoor. Indoor walls are decorated with arts from public who want to sell them. The tables (no.6) were sticky and reflects what other reviews state. I had a full breakfast and for the price paid would expect a big one. A little pricier menu. Good vegetarian options. The staff looked after us well.

Lovely little cafe. Met a friend for a coffee, and to my surprise the place was nearly full of customers. The lady at the counter is really nice and friendly. The service was great and it feels very cosy inside. The Deco is modern but tasteful. Lots of nice paintings all over, but not too many. They have an outdoor area at the back which is nice and quiet. I didn't eat anything, but the menu on the board sounded delicious. I will try it and give you an update on this. The prices seem to be reasonable, and if you fancy a little walk after lunch there is a lovely park and a pond just surrounding the cafe. Definitely worth a visit if you are around!
