The Best Cafes in Arford, Hampshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Fantastic coffee shop!!! found this place by pure chance as we were riding through Shamley Green and gave it a go..........We wasn't disappointed, lovely building with fantastic decor. The staff were friendly and passionate about their business which is all non profit for charity. The coffee selection is great and the menu looked scrum for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we had a cinnamon bun each with our coffee's............ hopefully there will be a bigger cake selection in future for passing cyclists as that is like a moth to a flame for us, and is on a popular cyclist route. There was a lovely heated outdoor area at the back with toilets and a disabled toilet. We will definitely be returning again

Absolutely nailed it... What a gem, such a cosy and stylish venue in the heart of a green village. The speciality coffee is top-notch, the snacks are of excellent quality and tasty too, great atmosphere and friendly service from the whole team.

Coffee shops … and there are many around Surrey, but then you get the gems, the ones that really stand out and this is one of them. From the moment you walk in, you know that this is special! The atmosphere, the people, the display of food, the kindness of the staff, and the whole ambience of the place you know that you know that you have stumbled across a gem. Will we be back, of course yes yes yes! The coffee, the hot chocolate, the waffles, the cakes, muesli, everything was outstanding! We really need to work our way through that menu! 😁 Oh, and before I forget, the price? Very very good! And then to top it all off, this coffee shop has a charity at the heart of it. The motivation is to be an outstanding coffee shop, the rewards is for charity. How awesome is that? Thank you! We will be back soon!

My son recently moved to Bordon so we decided to try out this cafe. We had a warm welcome, great service and great food. The cafe was lovely and clean. Appears to be very busy at times, which is a good sign. We were given a free coffee as a welcome to the area!

Best breakfast in Bordon without a doubt. We loved our late breakfast at this new lovely place, very polite and professional staff, Ihighly recommend the “Mediterranean Breakfast”.

This does what it says on the box: cafe food…think full English, which come in 10 variations, 9 versions of “eggs - light - healthy”. Come here after a night out and you will not be disappointed. Lovely staff, friendly, smiley, prompt service. I had a coffee cake and espresso: probably not the best choice at a cafe. The cake was warm and the espresso was not strong. But hey! I went there, so what can I have expected. The place is clean and tidy with a large unisex loo.

The best place for miles and miles. I’m a qualified Barista and home coffee nerd and this places always excels. Roasted on site and made beautifully. Always worth going out of my way to come here. Thanks

I’ve been twice now and will continue to go back. I had a Thai Milk Tea the first time which was absolutely incredible. Had no idea what to expect but that has quickly become my new favourite drink! The next time, I had the iced version which was just as yummy. I drank it in seconds! Super friendly and helpful staff too, great coffee shop

Lovely coffee house - we watched the coffee beans roasting while waiting for our lattes and bacon rolls. Lots of coffee varieties on offer, together with cakes, rolls, bubble tea etc. Brilliant 👍🏻

It’s my second time going here and I’m really impressed. The coffee to go tastes MILES better than you’d get at Costa/Starbucks. The staff are lovely. Previously I queried how to use a moka pot and was given a full intro for it by the lady serving me (she was so patient!) and today’s employee was also very friendly. I’m enjoying the fresh coffee grounds at home too, and just really looking forward to trying more blends!

Fantastic place to hold a child's birthday party!! The soft play and toys are brilliant. They were set out clean and tidy. The food was lovely, the staff were super friendly and helpful!! Great communication from start to finish! The chocolate birthday cake was delicious and had a wonderful cake topper provided by Somecuts Over The Rainbow. Thank you again 😊

We take our 2 y/o granddaughter to the play cafe at Arlebury Cafe once a week. A safe and well run play cafe with a great selection of play equipment. Booking ahead online means that there is no overcrowding and I've seen people be politely turned away if they've arrived with a child without a booking. Good selection of food for the children and the adults. Great staff. Parents and grandparents are all friendly and personable. There's a lift for the prams. Parking free for 2 hours, just press green on the machine.

This place is great! Very welcoming and comfortable. The little shop is a nice touch too. The drinks and food are very reasonable and extremely tasty too. And the staff are better!!

Friendly staff, my wife and I had a full English Breakfast after a very nice cup of cappuccino. Great views of the countryside and football field.

We booked the Yard for a private party on Saturday evening. The location is fantastic, the staff were efficient, attentive, and friendly, and we had a great evening. Thoroughly recommend it!

Wonderful! We went to Friday night's music evening and everything about the venue was just perfect - the music; the street food courtesy of Earth to Oven; indoor and outdoor seating which interconnects beautifully in one space, and an overall 'holiday' vibe in tastefully designed surroundings. We will definitely be back!

Lovely Coffee Shop one of the guys in our cycle club guided us to, after seeing good things about, so we gave it a go........it's in a very remote location but has lovely decor and a very bijoux feel about it. Staff were very upbeat and were serving quickly and efficiently. There is a large selection of coffee, cake and hot food on offer with the coffee beans baked on site called Moon Coffee which is also sold here. The "yard" area is very spacious with lovely seating around as well as outdoor heaters for the colder mornings or evenings. They are doggie friendly as saw a few on our visit and welcomed cyclists to with two very large bike racks to use.........will definitely visit again if we are out this way again!!

We popped in yesterday for coffee and cake on our way through Bordon. What a great find! We were made to feel very welcome. Both of the pieces of cake we had were superb and the coffee was really good too. We will definitely be returning.

We always pop in after shopping at Tescos or if we're on a walk - We want to support our local family business - Chantelle has updated the coffee shop, different seating areas - nice, clean. We tried one of the home made cakes - delicious - as you'd expect the coffee is lovely (and hot) we get a discount for being regular customers - happy days. I might try another piece of that cake (it'd be rude not to) 😊😊

Lovely local little cafe run by the loveliest of people. Very reasonably priced and a reasonable sized menu. All decked out for Valentine’s Day. I had multiple cuppas and a bacon sandwich. Loaded with bacon, just your ordinary sliced brown bread. A thicker sliced, nicer bread would be my only improvement. The jacket potato’s looked lovely.

Great little family run cafe, nice coffee, good selection of teas, delicious freshly baked goodies, loaded bacon sarnies and service with a smile

My favourite place to get the most delicious chai and a fully loaded roll! The staff are great and always go above and beyond to cater for my son who is gluten free. My boys love the milkshakes and hot chocolates too!

Came in for hot chocolate with friends, stayed for the menu - great choice for brunch, the hot chocolates (brownie option) came with marshmallows and a very unhealthy amount of whipped cream, and the after eight ice cream was delish!! Gutted I'm not a local, it is a great, friendly place, with proper pizza oven, a little heated & covered terrace and a space showcasing and selling various local produce (including beautiful pottery and mouth watering chutney and honey jars). Not a place you can come out of disappointed!

Cafe Nosh Bar is the best cafe spot ever! They never fail to impress. It’s such a lovely place, and I highly recommend it! I paid £38 for two people with 10%tip included.

We enjoyed a Truly Scrumptious Perfect Breakfast yesterday! Quick, effiicient, EXCEPTIONALLY YUMMY, and we were on a TIME CONSTRAINT. And there are unique Gift selections in this Restaurant, to add to the Convivial atmosphere, and delicious Nosh@

I bought some of the packs of coffee, which firstly arrived quickly. The coffee was absolutely fantastic, better than Acorns say it will be!

After buying a coffee machine for our office we decided to go with Acorns award winning coffee beans, their coffee has been a massive success in our office with all of our staff enjoying it. The coffee has a great taste and is very enjoyable to drink in a variety of ways including espressos and cappuccinos. Will be Buying again for sure.

The coffee here is amazing! I order beans by the kg and they are fantastic every time, hand delivered within a few days and overall awesome service!! Highly recommended.

What a fantastic establishment - a barista who knows his beans and a team who are genuinely kind and lovely people! Went there with the Mrs and our youngest in a push chair and we were met with smiling faces, excellent conversation and some fantastic coffees. Told them about how it was our first day in Bordon and they made it extra special for us 😊 We also had the blueberry and cream cheesecake which was delicious! If you’re in town this is one not to be missed!

When we visited on a Saturday around 1.15, they seemed to have run out of quite a few of the toasties and wraps, which was the same. We paid easily, and out heated food came fairly quickly. My vegan meatball wrap was burnt on the top and bottom, but apart from that, it was pretty tasty. There's plenty of seating inside the cafe, and everywhere was pretty clean and tidy. Staff werenall friendly and welcoming.

Not your standard chain coffee shop. The Spanish Manager treats the customers as if he is welcoming them into his own home. My Husband and I popped in late Saturday morning, mostly to use the loo. We ended up staying almost 3 hours. Chatting to the staff and customers. Lots of regulars. Fantastic Manager and his Assistant, Chloe, who both worked their socks off. Great little place.

A nice spot for coffee in a pretty town. We stopped in for a coffee and smoothie plus a brownie. The seating setup is good with tables and chairs dotted around to make use of the building shape. This also meant it was quiet and easy to chat. For those with prams or wheelchairs, there is a step to get in and a sign to let the staff know for assistance. We managed without assistance. Coffee was good, as was the smoothie and the brownie. ☕🍰🥤

Lovely relaxing coffee break, lovely staff and we were not rushed

Top notch coffee, fresh salad and tasty sandwiches/pastries. We particularly enjoyed the fresh salads and fast/friendly service. Great value and highly recommended!

A lovely warm welcome cafe, situated in new Alresford. Would definitely recommend coming here to try out the delicacies, some cakes here I haven't seen anywhere else.

Our order came quite quickly. Friendly atmosphere, friendly services. Very good selections of food and cakes.

I really enjoyed my pesto pasta and coffee today at lunchtime. Greeted by smiling staff and although there was a queue out the door, I was served very quickly and the staff seemed positive. My food and coffee arrived in good time, I asked a staff member to wipe the table (I could see they were very busy) but he was happy to, and did so with a smile. It felt Christmassy, and also dog friendly! Will be coming back again!
