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

Amazing cafe with so much character!! Must try if in the area - such an idyllic and beautifully don't interior. Coffee is amazing as always as well

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.

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!

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

So this review is for my recent mail order of coffee beans - Celestial and Tiger Stripes blend. I have ordered ground in the past but we’ve now moved to grinding our own beans. Tried both these now and they are absolutely lovely. The tiger stripes in particular is gorgeous! They put commercial supermarket blends to shame and it’s a much better experience than a high st chain. The delivery was swift as well. Thank you.

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

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.

What a fantastic place! Friendly and quick! Coffee and Chef's Special were superb. Really clean. Highly recommend!

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.

Fantastic Breakfast, Lunch, and Amazing Wood-Fired Pizzas at Nosh! If you’re looking for a great spot for breakfast or lunch in the local area, Nosh is an absolute must-visit! The food is consistently delicious, and the welcoming, friendly staff make the experience even better. One of the standout highlights is their wood-fired pizzas, expertly crafted by Jude. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing a takeaway, these pizzas are a must-try—crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! Nosh offers a warm, inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. Highly recommended!

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!

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!

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!

I recently booked this venue for my partner’s 30th birthday, and it was amazing! This is one of our favourite spots to enjoy coffee together, so it felt like the perfect place to celebrate the occasion. From the moment we arrived, the staff were absolutely incredible. Frankie and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran seamlessly. We had an outside caterer for the food, but the staff took charge of organising and presenting it perfectly, making sure everything was on time, and making sure all of our guests, including those with allergies, were well taken care of. The atmosphere was fantastic- full of energy, warm, welcoming and it didn’t feel rushed or stressful. I kept checking in throughout the evening, but Frankie was absolutely wonderful in reassuring me that everything was under control and telling me that I should enjoy the celebration without a worry, which is what I did. Our guests had a wonderful time, and I’ve received nothing but positive feedback about the venue, the staff and the overall experience. I would highly recommend this place for any event - you won’t be disappointed. A huge thank you to Frankie and the team for making my partner’s birthday so special!

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.

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!!

Such a lovely spot for parents and young kiddies. Their soft play is so reasonably priced and ideal for kids to play while adults enjoy a coffee. The staff are super friendly and their sweet treats and savoury bakes are delicious too! Love meeting friends here with my little one.

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.

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.

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

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!

We came here on a whim and it did not disappoint! coffee was delicious and catered for a my diet. We both ordered the all day breakfast and it was fab! huge portion, good selection, hot and well cooked. 100 times better than a chain street restaurant we visited the week before. We will be back and recommending this lovely café.

Stubbled across this cafe last Saturday morning. Staff were really friendly and the food was good.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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. ☕🍰🥤

Big shout out to the team at The Crown, we visited at the weekend for Sunday lunch. Fabulous food, great service and a sticky toffee pudding to die for! A wonderful pub, with a lovely cozy atmosphere and a Stirling effort from the pub team.

Since the new owners, the pub has been tastefully refurbished and retained its character. The food was excellent with a price to match. The menu is changed daily as the food is always cooked fresh. Hopefully, the cost doesn't put too many people off from paying regular visits though.

The Crown is under new management by a company created by the local community, to support The Crown as a local, traditional pub. Now serving food on Thursday, Friday, Saturday evenings and Sunday lunch. Quiz nights and occasional party nights provide added interest.

Popped in here at lunchtime on Christmas day as it was open for a couple of hours. It was really busy with locals celebrating with festive cheer and there was a real buzz.
