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

Absolutely in love with this cozy place! Fantastic spot and great addition to the area, yummy selection of pastries, panini and deli. The best cappuccino so far. This will be my treat going further!

So happy to have this lovely new cafe with really friendly staff on my doorstep. Great coffee (and hot chocolate!), as well as delicious pastries & sandwiches. And their new platters are an added bonus, highly recommend!

Great little cafe with a good selection of fresh and well presented pastries. Coffee was good and the staff were great.

Flat white is gorgeous!! really taste the coffee. Mediterranean breakfast is filling and nice. Diff from my usual full English breakfast. Fresh ingredients and presentation was spot on. The pancakes were fluffy, but rather stingy on the toppings. 7x blueberries, half a strawberry, tiny bit of syrup, half a banana to go with 4 pancakes is not enough. Need more fruits if you're paying £8.50.

Had breakfast here a very popular place but timed it well only had to wait 5 minutes for a table, very friendly staff, lovely food would recommend and will return not badly price

This was a surprise, you do when you're entering a new place, the food was delicious and arranged super. This was my first visit but not last...Thanks

great place for brunch! everything i have tried has been so good- the coffee is delicious

Lovely quirky little cafe... Coffee great, food great, service great. Thank you.

The owners are SO LOVELY! And so generous - almost always giving extra bits of free cakes or something with a coffee. Remembers and always welcoming towards my family. We love it here, delicious drinks, cakes and warm atmosphere - AND comfy seating. Also accommodating for when my local mum group wants to come for coffee, cake and bring prams.

I went for my morning walk and stumbled on this nice and cozy cafe. I had brunch here and ordered iced latte and bacon bap. The coffee was good and the bap was good too very generous amount of bacon. Service and ambience were also good. The staff were really friendly too.

This place a little gem, the whole experience was 5 stars, the coffee was brilliant and cake was so moist and delicious. The owner was so welcoming and the atmosphere felt like so warm and welcoming! Definitely worth a pop in if your in the area!

Best coffee in the area by far! Incredibly accommodating staff that always go the extra mile, it’s l never been a problem for them to tweak an order (due to allergy) . Food and cakes are absolutely amazing, Couldn’t recommend enough!

Great food and very polite staff! We come here every time we are in the are for delicious food and really nice coffee, the best homemade cakes and brunch. Highly recommended is the Bulgarian lunch menu if you haven't tried it yet. Nice service and very clean place, highly recommended!

Little gem in Surbiton! Great service, lovely atmosphere and delicious food! The pistachio and dulce de leche cake is a must have! So light and moist! Best cake I had in a while! Food is fairly priced and really nicely presented. I’ll definitely come back!

I had a lovely experience at this cafe. The service was friendly and attentive. I ordered a cortado and a brownie, which was rich and perfectly satisfying. The cafe’s interior is beautifully designed, with a bright, airy feel, and the toilet was also very clean! Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area :)

Really enjoyed visiting this minimalist coffee shop serving artisan coffee. Very happy to see another local independent coffee shop in Surbiton with a difference. The staff are lovely - professional, warm and friendly towards all customers. The atmosphere is light , minimal and non- distracting making it a perfect spot to meet with friends or read the Sunday papers. The coffee is great and pastries looked lovely although I haven’t tried any yet. I appreciate they sell their own coffee beans to take away too.I’m curious to see their menu develop and would love it if they offered customers a choice of single origin as well as the coffee blend they have on the day.

How its possible for one High Street to have so many coffee shops and not one of them empty is a mystery! However this little addition is perfect. Great coffee and some seriously decent looking pastries. Looks like they switch up the daily coffee too which is nice! I came here as I thought it would be quiet enough to work through for an hour whilst I have coffee..boy was I wrong.. the people just keep coming 😂 Get the loyalty cards going and you're all set!

Great new coffee place. The coffee is excellent. Nice place to sit and watch Surbiton's life emerge. I think my only gripe is the decor is pretty sparse and characterless. Could be heated a bit more but understandable given today's energy prices.

Fantastic local cafe! It served great locally roasted coffee, excellent brunch dishes, I had the Mexican Benedict which came with chorizo, eggs and avocado. All the food is really delicious and they have some great juices too, our favourite is the glowing goddess. The staff are always friendly and are really good with kids too, definitely worth a visit!

We had a lovely brunch at the Avocadium the hot chocolate was the perfect temperature and the cappuccino was not too bitter at all. Breakfasts were great and very filling we also got an almond croissant which was delicious and served WARM !!! We were given student discount too so I have no complaints we’ll definitely be returning 🤗🤗

I visited this café with a few friends and loved everything about it—the aesthetic, the coffee, the staff, and the service! I ordered the rainbow pancakes, and they were absolutely delicious. Such a delightful experience! Highly recommend! 🥰

I can’t say enough good things about this place! It’s hands down the best breakfast spot in town. The food is always fresh, vibrant, and delicious, as you can see from the beautifully presented acai bowl. The ingredients are top-notch, from the crunchy granola to the fresh fruit, and everything is always prepared with care. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I feel so fortunate to live nearby. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a healthy and tasty breakfast!

A real hidden gem in leafy berrylands. El Cafetal is a great place to grab a morning boast or relax after a walk along the hoggs mill. Lastly the coffee is really great, definitely the best in the area

A proper coffee house which has very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They can tell you where the coffee is sourced (all of it is Colombian), the story behind the location & the processes undertaken. They actually roast all of their beans in house which gives it a very fresh and flavourful taste. The staff will help you identify what beans that would suit your coffee choice best, I.e americano, flat white etc. Really recommend visiting the cafe to sit in or take coffee for your commute from Berrylands. They also offer various pastries and snacks etc to complement your choice. I feel like that this is an independent cafe not to be missed, with expertise and flavours which will not be found at a local chain coffeehouse!

My wife only had wonderful things to say about Carlos’ cafe. She was able to spend a lot of time here during her course in Surbiton and soon felt like she was a new neighbor in the town, meeting regulars and new friends here at El Cafetal over a delicious cup of coffee.

It’s a dog-friendly place. Good service. Only 4 stars for food because the sausage, tomato and bacon weren’t hot enough.

Found this amazing new spot in Berrylands, Surbiton. Highly recommended. The chef was on MasterChef and produces a visually mouth watering dish that tastes even better. He really knows how to make dishes come alive, leaving you wanting more. Great for fresh coffees & teas too

Fantastic place! 3 of us came here on a celebratory day for brunch. Fantastic poached eggs, 🍳 lots of selection on the menu, perfect crema on the coffee. ☕️ Lovely guys on service.

I just eaten there for the first time. The flat white was really nice and rich but soothing. I also ate salmon and asparagus muffin. The vegetables were nice and fresh and the poached egg was perfectly cook and bright orange. I recommend it. Lovely atmosphere here and decor is relaxing. Staff were friendly too.

Amazing little cafe close to the park. Tasty food, great coffee and friendly staff. Little gem in Surbiton 💎

What a lovely place! They have made an inside bit to sit for a drink or bite, staff is kind and cafe looks very well looked after. Toasties are delicious! Also options for children, how considerate.

Second time coming here, great salted beef sandwich. Would recommend. Only negative, outside bit could do with outdoor heaters. Freezing in the winter

Lovely atmosphere staff are polite and go out of their way to help you , I walk past with my dog everyday and often get a coffee hot chocolate is especially nice on a cold day making the walk so much enjoyable as a very dog friendly cafe they even have a board up with pictures of your pooches on ! Every year they sell real Christmas trees 🌲 I get now buy one second year they are good quality trees , when you purchase a Christmas tree you get a free hot drink of your choice ! The cafe makes my day a better day when on my walk with my pooch as located opposite a park and to the side fishponds ! I recommend trying the cafe ☕️

Had a lovely lunch in ICON today. Quite specious to be comfortable to eat and the staffs were friendly. The Harvest salad had lots of different ingredients and they were all harmonised. My friend had a French toast - it was good enough to say nice French toasts. The prices were reasonable. Happy to visit there again.

We were drawn to ICON because of the popping interior design and brunch menu. It's as good as it looks! We had the breakfast burrito and avocado on toast and they gave us a great start into the weekend. The owner is lovely and made us feel very welcome.

Great food and service. They were very friendly and accommodated my request (french toast with banana and pecans, instead of berries). Decor is bright.

I've been twice now and both times I've been really impressed by how delicious the food is, I especially recommend the BLT and the chicken wrap they're absolutely delicious. The shaken brown sugar espresso is also so good I had 2. Staff are very friendly all in all a great spot.
