Cozy place with a great atmosphere, clean and tidy, you can breathe a little English air in this bar. The bathrooms are clean. Beautiful service plates, colorful and artistic. Staff friendly and always attentive to the needs of the customers. We went on a Tuesday, the food was quite fast. Buononil sandwich and cake, liked the salad as a side dish. In our bill was in the average. I recommend it.

Visited the Drawing Room today for my birthday for afternoon tea. As a previous owner of my own tearoom I probably have slightly higher expectations than many people, I know when the scones or cakes are out of a box. But this exceeded my expectations. Lovely fresh home baked produce, so fresh the scones warm out of the oven. Great selection of sandwiches, even though I'm a fussy eater, packed with tasty fillings and enough food we had to bring some home. The service was warm and attentive and the quirky, vintage decoration created the ambience of a by gone era. Highly recommend.

Fabulous! Took seven 90+ year olds for afternoon tea and everyone had a wonderful time. The food was excellent and plentiful, freshly baked that day and a great variety. Non-stop tea as well. The staff were super-friendly and couldn't do enough for us. A special, memorable afternoon. Thank you to everyone at The Drawing Room XXX

Really good atmosphere, I arrived just before peak hours on a wednesday morning 10:30ish. Really large menu, good breakfast and lunch variety. Can definitely see this as my new hot spot, not too expensive either.

Been here a couple of times now, and love it. Food is fresh and tasty - had the Sunday roast today and it was lovely and great value at £7.95 for the one meat roast. Staff are friendly and the cafe is clean and nicely decorated.

This new cafe is brilliant! Firstly it is located near Orpington, sidcup, Swanley and covers London and Kent which I’m pleased about as it’s a diverse cafe serving Caribbean food aswell and American and English breakfasts and lunches ! Today I ordered via Deliveroo and order arrived in about an hour, first time buying the plaintain wrap and it was delicious with the flavourful jerk sauce and fresh peppers! Plaintain is very fresh and not at all greasy!! Honestly really nice food, even offer vegan Mac n cheese! The price is fair considering portion size is generous, sprinkle cake is delicious and moist! Everything is spot on and I would recommend ordering for sure. Reason for 4 star is because they do not have rice and peas or patties on the menu which is a shame but still amazing food and packaging. Thanks 👍 even provide fresh salad with kids meals.

Finally got to visit Butterfly Cafe today for the first time. It definitely won't be my last! EVERYTHING was really tasty. I had the C3 Carribean breaky with a side of avocado. Food arrived hot, presented beautifully on warm plates (apart from the avo obviously). Couldn't fault a thing. Already thinking about what i'll be having on my next visit. See you soon! 🙋🏾‍♀️

Visited on Friday for lunch, all table were taken only one available for us. That speaks volumes for me. Was impressed with their menu. Other half had mix grill/shish- great in taste and portion size. I went for Greek salad and ciabata /panini with tomato and mozzarella. Panini was top quality, but Greek salad was far from usual Greek salad you get in Greece or other Mediterranean countries. Iceberg lettuce and cherry tomatoes have no place in Greek salad, also very little portion for the money. Friendly and polite service. Would return for sure

I don’t go to Orpington much these days, sadly the high street n shops have declined. But when I do, I always choose the Tea Tree Cafe because I know I’m going to get EXCELLENT FOOD and SERVICE in a clean environment. Many years ago it was called the Olive Tree, owned by Mehmet and Kim and I was doubtful the quality would be as good. I was so impressed by the new owners that I’ve eaten there on many occasions and not once have I found fault. Being a creature of habit I always order the No.3 breakfast. Sausage, egg, 2 bacon, mushrooms, toast and coffee. So tasty , especially the mushrooms. All for around £7.50 (as I always leave couple quid for server, and never look at prices on menu I’m guessing the cost is around £7.50 plus tip). Not a penny begrudged. I can’t praise high enough. THANKS GO TO ALL CONCERNED. Keep on doing what you’re doing *****

We had a fantastic time here. Searched for a place to eat breakfast on Google, saw it, tried it out, good decision. The staff are welcoming, friendly, the menu is elaborate. It has lots of options which was really good for us. There's free WiFi; that came in handy as my wife had to work while eating breakfast. The food was good! The toast, oh my, lovely. The price was very welcoming. We really enjoyed ourselves here.

Lunch with my daughter today. Very busy but staff soon took our order and brought drinks. One avocado breakfast with halloumi which was very good. My daughter had a roast chicken salad; one large piece of chicken with salad on the side. Tea could have been stronger otherwise its OK with reasonable prices and plenty on the menu to choose from.

Having lived locally for almost 14 years I've been a regular at Star Cafe for many of those years and visit more or less weekly for a Spanish omelette, chips and salad. Over the years I have ordered numerous meals from the menu and have nothing but good things to say as I have never had a bad meal and the staff are amazing.

The restaurant is very clean and the seats are very spacious. The waiter greeted me proactively. In terms of food, the milkshake was average. The pork chop was overcooked and dry. The price is average.

Try this place!!!Popped in to this cafe today. A bit different. Records at the end available for purchase. A lovely eclectic soundtrack playing in the backtground. Four of us sat down for a drink and desert. Due to the intrigue of the menu we decided to have a bite to eat there were two adults and two children in our group. We all got something to eat and everyone was satisfied!!! From full meals, to snacks, to lovely desserts. We spent far longer in there than we expected. The hospitality was great to, we felt like part of the family. Oh, Lovely coffee too!! Discounted set menus Monday to Friday.

Came here for brunch with my partner and it did NOT disappoint! Amazing service from Scott who made sure we were well looked after and gave us some recommendations. The food was second to none, and although pricier than other places on the highstreet it was definitely worth it - coffee was amazing too! Definitely a place for music nerds and coffee lovers (I’d recommend booking to make sure you get a table). We’ll definitely be back😄

Lovely spot. You can book but you can also walk in. Great brunch but also great just for a drink. The hazelnut croissant is amazing and I've never tried anything like it. The staff are really attentive and the record store at the back is a lovely weekend activity. Kid friendly spot.

Busy local independent restaurant, serving tasty, good quality grub in a relaxed atmosphere, with friendly service. Prices are a bit punchy it must be said, but we left full and satisfied, what more could you want. Keep up the good work OC&RS.

I hosted an afternoon tea at the Orpington in November as a baby shower for my sister and the event was perfect. The food and drinks were wonderful and the whole team went above and beyond for us, from adding cake toppers to the afternoon teas. to flexibility with space and timing. I can't recommend them highly enough and am excited to find another reason to celebrate something at this wonderful cafe. Truly somewhere special.

We decided to come to green roof cafe after being recommended, we were very happy. The staff are friendly and the service is great.

Clean air, lushful greens and great food. This is what it makes a worthwhile visit. Start the day with nature trail and end up with a nice veggie burger and strawberry shake. Yes I am a vegetarian and there burgers are good. The taste of warm tomato soup on cold breeze day just warms you up from inside. Definitely suggest to make time and visit on a peaceful morning or lunch.

This place is amazing to eat at. After enjoying a walk around with our dog we grabbed a table outside and ordered lunch. The food is great quality, fresh ingredients, cooked to order and served to your table. The eating area in set overlooking their ponds and lots of greenery. Eating here is relaxing, enjoyable and so reasonably priced! 5.95 quid for my tuna crunch, and 7.95 for a full English breakfast and they also have doggie sausages 1 quid for your furry friend for a pound and lots of free water for the dogs as well. We visited on a cold January weekday and we'll worth sitting in the cold fresh air. I will be returning weekly. Card payment preferred. Go, you'll be glad you did.
