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

I have been going to Cravings cafe for many years and I think this is one of the best cafes in South London. The food is absolutely spot on. There's a great variety for everyone, shakes and ice cream for kids, and much more. It's a family run business, and the weekday staff are always friendly and polite. The Saturday ladies are a credit to Cravings, Lilley, Ellie & Vicky, they are always very polite & friendly and make eating there a pleasure. The fish & chips on a Friday are delicious, and my favourite dish is their chefs, chicken Shish salad, it's absolutely divine 😋

First time we’ve been here for breakfast, definitely going back. Lovely breakfast place near to my home. Prices are good, staff is very friendly. Food was delicious and good portion. Good selection of dishes on the menu. It was very busy when we went there around 11 am on Saturday so we had to wait a little bit and go back after 10 min but it was worth the wait. Would be great if they’d open on Sunday ☺️ I’m sure they’d be very busy and make good profit Thank you and see you soon 😊

Lovely place. Food coked really nice & very reasonably priced. Staff super friendly & just lovely

I was looked after when I arrived and with table service too. I opted for Set 3 and asked for: the beans to be exchanged with a hash brown (which they helpfully accommodated too), and the coffee to be upgraded to a cappuccino. The cafe is spacious and the staff are friendly and chatty too. The food was cooked nicely and the items tasted better than in the last establishment I visited yesterday. The total price was £9.50, which I think is good value.

We stumbled across this treasure recently whilst looking for somewhere to eat and what a find it was. They were friendly & welcoming, the decor was stunning with the venue split between a restaurant and a cafe. The food was quick, was freshly prepared & really tasty. They also have a full bar plus a great selection of ice creams and cakes.

Came to the cafe/restaurant with my hubby to grab something thing to eat. As we were before 12pm the restaurant was not opened so we opted for the cafe menu. The food and service were very good, it was fresh and delicious. Had a cheeky strawberry slice cake, loved it, this would be a definite hit at a kids' party! They do waffles and ice cream too, will need to try this next time! It's very pretty inside, very nice setting for a small event.

It’s my favourite restaurant in the SW LONDON, the place is so relaxing and beautifully decorated. Service is so kind & choices are so great. I wish they were opened 24/7.🫶

A Dream Wedding Dinner at Pawełek - We recently celebrated our wedding dinner at Pawełek, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, Manager Agnieszka made the planning process a breeze. Her attentiveness and meticulous organization ensured every detail was taken care of, allowing us to relax and enjoy the lead-up to the big day. The restaurant itself provided the perfect setting for our intimate gathering. The decorations, coordinated by Sebastian, Ada, Mirela, Ellie & Nicola, were simply stunning and perfectly captured the romantic ambience we envisioned. But the true star of the show was the food! Chef Patryk absolutely outdid himself. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. Our guests raved about soups and the amazing Kluski Śląskie. The entire meal was a culinary delight that left everyone wanting more. Beyond the exceptional food and decor, the entire team at Pawełek went above and beyond to ensure our wedding dinner was a success. Their warm hospitality and attentiveness made us feel truly special. We can't thank Aga and the entire staff enough for making our wedding dinner so perfect.

Best coffee in Colliers Wood! Always friendly staff on the bike and even better coffee. We recently did the espresso workshop, it was so informative and loads of fun! 100% RECOMMEND .

Great coffee and pastries and super friendly service! Sam and the team always make my mornings whatever the weather!

If you like coffee this is a really good one. I accidentally or out of desperation before getting to the tube got a coffee and as soon as I drank it it was so tasty and flavoured. Love it. Now on any occasion I have, I grab one.

A friendly service as always. Great to see it becoming a permanent residence in Tooting Broadway. Brilliant atmosphere and beautifully decorated.

Stumbled across this on my daily walk and have been meaning to pop in. Was kindly greeted by a gentleman who was very welcoming, polite and attentive. I ordered an extra hot mocha and it was super good! I love that they offer a loyalty card. Will defo return to try other items on the menu. Update: Visited today on my quick morning walk, not the most welcoming atmosphere. Ordered an extra hot mocha to go, two very small cup sizes, opted for large when asked by the gentleman as that’s the one I usually go far but was charged £4.15 which I think is quite expensive for a standard mocha , no extra syrups etc. on the board it clearly states +0.40p for large (though it should be clearer) and that would be 3.90 but I was charged £4.15. It also would have been nice to double check what milk I wanted as I always get skimmed not whole. I have a lot of anxiety so didn’t want ask once I got my drink. Needed sugar which usually doesn’t. Also asked for a replacement stamp card as I misplaced mine and asked the man to kindly add the two from last time. Felt like I was asking for free food. Although he kindly added it, I felt really embarrassed for asking. Kind recommendations: - ensure prices are correct and clear for customers - consider a digital stamp system if possible so cards aren’t lost or misplaced. - if customer hasn’t stated whether they want an alternative milk, at least double check if they would like whole or skimmed. I am a little upset as I make effort in supporting local small businesses but sometimes I feel they don’t appreciate or value the customers they do have that return. My first visit was nothing like this hence this is my fourth visit or so. I don’t like to have to add this but I have to be honest about my experience and I hope improvements can be made in the near future. Overall, this time round, underwhelming experience and mocha.

Lovey new coffee shop in Tooting. Amazing coffe and outstanding service. They have dairy free and gluten free options.

Great coffee. Cosy and comfy atmosphere. Friendly and community feel. Respect to the owner I can see all the effort and care that’s gone into creating this space and can definitely understand why it’s becoming a new favourite spot in Tooting.

Finally a place in Mitcham where you can get proper coffee! I have been a regular since it opened. Will the owner and his incredible team are always there to greet you with a smile and a friendly chat. The toasties are incredible too. I am so excited the cafe is here and cannot recommend it enough!

Really lovely place, good seating area, place to charge laptop, can work there, good WiFi. The guy there is great and has fantastic people skills. Super friendly and well definitely go back again

Really pleased to see a decent coffee shop in Mitcham area, perfect to drop by after a walk in the common. The coffee tasted good which is a must for me. The owner was friendly and welcoming. It's a good place to bring your laptop and getting some work done.

Great new cafe! Fantastic coffee, cracking menu (the sausage roll with chilli jam and fennel crust are particularly brilliant) and friendly place to work!

I grab a sandwich from here for a quick lunch and it is super tasty! Seeded bun, fresh tomato, cucumber and lettuce, cheese and ham all for £4.50! Bonus points for being in a lovely park setting! Ps. Ice cream is super tasty too.

Lovely cafe. Dog friendly. Good atmosphere. Simple menu tastes good and is well priced. Special commendation for staff who not only took an interest in new customers and offered a treat to the dog, but also dashed outside to help an elderly gentleman who had fallen. Clean toilets all individual cubicles. Brilliant! 👍🐕🤸

Just perfect. Been a couple of times and tried food, waffles, ice creams & TEA 🫖😀 delicious looking cakes. Very welcoming, child & dog friendly with outdoor and indoor seating. Service is really friendly and attentive. Well set up for a treat or rest in Cannons. Round the corner from playground. Well needed in the area. Reasonable prices for the portions. Thanks Pawelek!

I recently visited the new Pawelek Coffee Shop and Ice Cream in Mitcham and I must say, I was blown away by the amazing food and mouth-watering waffle ice cream desserts. The ambiance of the cafe is cozy and welcoming, with comfortable seating and a warm atmosphere. The menu is simple but spot on . I tried their signature waffle ice cream dessert and it was simply divine. The waffle was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the ice cream was creamy and delicious. It was the perfect combination of flavors and textures. Apart from the desserts, the food was equally impressive. I tried on of their specials : Turmeric and Ginger chicken with stir fried vegetables and it was one of the best dishes I had in a long time. The ingredients were fresh and the presentation was beautiful. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure that we had a great experience. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality of food and service provided. Overall, I highly recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Mitcham. The food, desserts, and service are all top-notch, and I can't wait to go back again soon. Five stars all around!

Staff are always so friendly and welcoming and the chicken shawarma wrap must be the best value in London. The humus and moutabal are lovely too and they do really good drinks, my favourite is the virgin mojito and the karak chai and the mint tea which are all made fresh. I don't do shisha but this is a very popular place for shisha

Great little spot in Tooting run by a really nice family, not very expensive and the food is freshly made and doesn’t cost the earth. The Shisha in the Garden is decent as well with a manner of flavours to choose from all ranging from £12-15, plenty of parking after 19:00.

Been here a few years back and I really don't know why I never went back! Visited yesterday and was surprised with how good the shisha was as they have a lot of flavours available. Great service with food and drinks available. I have tried their chicken wrap which was delicious and it doesn't break the bank for avid shisha smokers.

I love the vibe of this place , the shisha double apple n mint is very good , the owner is very friendly and the people over there is very friendly too . Best shisha ever made by HUSSAIN . I loved it ❤️. Thank you so much .

The food never fails to disappoint. The folded eggs on toasted sourdough and the espresso butter banana bread is incredible! Would definitely recommend this place!

Discovered a lovely local cafe with chill vibes. Ordered a butter cake, cornbread and signature coffee, Freddo Cappuccino. I loved these pastries and coffee very much and the staff was friendly and very helpful.

We really enjoyed our visit yesterday for lunch. It was really busy but we were seated quickly and throughout our time the team checked on us and made sure we were happy with everything… which we were! Very hard to find a decent flat white in London now and the food really hit the mark. Thanks for a lovely experience!

The customer service at Esquires Coffee is top-notch! The staff are super friendly, welcoming, and genuinely make you feel at home from the moment you step in. They’re always happy to offer recommendations, answer questions, or accommodate any special requests, all with a smile. Even when the café is busy, they manage to keep things moving smoothly without making you feel rushed. You can tell they really care about giving every customer a great experience, which adds to the overall warm and relaxed vibe of the place. It’s definitely a standout feature! Esquires Coffee really nails it with their bacon rolls! The bacon is perfectly crispy without being too crunchy, and the rolls are soft and fresh, making it the ideal comfort food. It’s simple but delicious, and just what you want when you’re craving something savory. Their smoothies are just as impressive. You can really taste the freshness of the fruit, and they’ve got that perfect balance—not too sweet, just naturally flavorful. Whether you’re in the mood for something tropical or a classic berry blend, they’ve got you covered. If you’re after a quick bite and a refreshing drink, the bacon rolls and smoothies here definitely hit the spot!

First visit despite several walkbys over the years. Excellent food and service.

Best bacon roll in town. Probably the same price as Starbucks but with the quality to back it up. Really friendly team too

Lovely coffee shop serving the nicest coffee we've had in a long time. Eggs florentine had beautiful golden yolk eggs and the ham & cheese croissant was full of flavour. The staff are friendly and the service was impeccable.

Overall, it was a nice place to grab a breakfast. The atmosphere was nice and the service was excellent. Their sausages were so delicious. I wish I had ordered 2. I would definitely go back again.

Friendly owner, makes everyone feel at home. And great food is served Set 2 was decent you know. They also do fish and chips on Friday Support your local cafe in mitcham
