Great coffee with a really nice art vibe. Whether you want a good local coffeehouse, or a fellow creative looking for some downtime and inspiration. Forget big chains, come here instead, so much better.

Great cafe inside the New House art space. Lots of drink choices and a good selection of pastries/cakes. Relaxed vibes inside, plenty of seating, natural light and the music isn’t too loud. Close to the town centre and the station and would be a great place to do a bit of work, write an essay etc. Looking forward to visiting again!

What a nice place! Had the most delicious matcha and cinnamon bun here. Would be a great place to sit and work as it’s got a lovely atmosphere. I like that they’ve got the artwork on the walls too. The lady behind the counter was so lovely too.

A great place to drink delicious coffee and hang out surrounded by art. My favourite coffee spot in Guildford, very much worth a visit! The staff are super friendly and it’s a lovely atmosphere to either do some work or hang out with friends.

Good vibes, amazing style/architecture/theme, good music, quiet so it's perfect for people who would like to go and do some work on their laptops and get some fresh air and a tasty cuppa. Good selection of beverages and pastry to enjoy with. It's a little cozy corner of tranquility. Unless I am around and start chatting or ranting about life. Enjoy your time there!!!

A group of us popped in today and we were very impressed by the friendliness and customer service. Coffee and cakes were good. Nice sense of community in this place. Will definitely return. Thanks.

I think Sorrel is one of the best restaurant I ever visit in Surrey Area , here is in UK since 9 years I live in this country. I am always amaze how the chefs are preparing this finest food by seeing the presentation with perfect real délice. We was 6 of us, and all my friends enjoying the food, from beginning till end of Degustation menu which the only one choice , and it was perfect, also the Wine list a lots of choice. Love the ambiance of the restaurant , so cosy and relax old house . And the service was also correct , so after all just perfect fine dinning restaurant in Surrey area. I am glad and happy as all my friends they like it and keep thanking me by introducing this place. Sure and certainly I’ll be back again before I left this country. Highly recommended for those who knows the real fine dinning restaurant with high quality food.

Second time at the restaurant, and it was a wonderful experience. It was a mini honeymoon as we got married the day before. We went for the wine flight too and was served by Luke(?) who was very interesting and served some incredible wines. Flora (we think that was her name!) was our server and she was exceptional. And finally, the food was just brilliant and so so tasty. It felt a bit like having the best food we've had in ages in a family home type vibe, so lovely was the atmosphere. Obviously it cost and arm and a leg, but it's really worth it and you must have this kind of restaurant experience at least once if you're able to, especially for a special occasion, or if someone else if paying! Thanks again for making the effort with the flowers, personal menu etc. It meant a lot! Cheers, Dave and Chloe.

Fantastic culinary experience at Sorrel on Thursday evening! Had the taster menu with wine flight and it was an incredible treat, very clever indeed! Even got invited to look in the kitchen, looking to return in summer! For me the dishes that stood out the most were the scallop, barbecued quail, supplementary cheese course and the blackberry waldorf dessert.

The most stunning experience and unbelievable combination of flavours, textures and science. Everything from the vibe, food and wine pairing were perfect. Steve is a humble genius and its reflective in everything he does and the vibe he’s created.

The food was very delicious, the setting is pleasant and the seats are very comfortable. The service was very friendly, described all the meals well but unfortunately they were rather slow, it took several courses until we got to order wine, another wait was for the bill. In a casual restaurant we would not mind but when paying £400+ for the meal for two, we would expect much more.

We love this place. A hybrid of service (counter, table &/or both) which never disappoints; they’re quietly attentive. The ingredients are expensive, the portions are generous & the prices are very reasonable. Coffee is exceptional. We just love it all.

A great place to have a treat breakfast on a Sunday morning! We had a veggie breakfast and a mini breakfast. The 'mini' is pretty substantial. Good table service, and a nice busy atmosphere. A repeat visit was even better! Really consistent good service.

So staying in Guildford for a few days. I wanted to try something different other than McDonald's or your standard chain. I found this after searching Google with great reviews, I knew I was expecting high things. Walking in it's a great atmosphere. I order the breakfast baguette with chips. I didn't have to wait too long and the portion size was great and not to much and not too little. There is an outside area with a roof to cover from rain etc. Also, the inside is nice and very well decorated. There is one toilet and it also has baby changing facilities. Overall, I really recommend and worth having a trip too, maybe a short walk from town but well worth it. If I'm back in Guildford, I'll be back.

Great coffee stop which I’ve been visiting for years on my bike. Upgraded from the original trailer serving very good coffee and snacks. Fantastic flapjacks. Nice atmosphere with other cyclists (both kinds😀) and walkers. No toilet though!

Heartwork Coffee Bar in Dorking was a delightful surprise! Found by accident, it quickly became a favorite. The coffee is excellent—smooth, rich, and expertly brewed. The outdoor chill area is a perfect spot to relax and enjoy your drink. The bacon rolls are delicious, perfectly crispy and satisfying. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, making it a great place to unwind. Highly recommend if you're in Dorking and looking for great coffee and a laid-back atmosphere!

No better place to stop for a coffee and a treat while out on a bike ride or walk (or drive). A beautiful setting, the friendliest service and the best coffee for miles! This goes for the Holmbury location as well as the new spot at Knowle Park 👌🏻

I am totally in love with this place. We were there for breakfast around 9 AM in the morning and we were their first customer ☺️. Such warm staff, they served us really well. They come and ask you if everything is ok, if you like your food or not, If you want anything specific with your food. They have preserved their place really well and written everything about the story of how this place has started.

Not being from the area, I asked a local where is best to go as I had a few hours to kill. They pointed me in the direction of Mullins. I was greeting by great customer service and even better food, iced coffee which was perfect and you can tell they do put a lot of care into their food and their relationships with customers. Whilst sitting here there were people coming in just to say hi to the staff! Great atmosphere and if you are travelling through Dorking, it’s definitely worth to stop.

Love how much history is packed into this little coffee shop. The staff was so friendly and happy to have so many people in their cafe. Quick service and the food was delicious. Many veggie and vegan options for food. Indoor and some outdoor seating. They give you a delicious piece of ginger cake with your hot drink it was very tasty.

I've been buying Surrey Hills Coffee for the last few years after stumbling upon their roastery. For me the coffee is second to none and I always return to them for my regular orders. There is a wide range of ethically sourced coffee beans for all tastes and the website always has great information about each coffee. On top of that Chris & Monika are always happy to talk about their coffee and offer recommendations. I am so happy there is a small, local roastery I can support that consistently offers great coffee. Thank you!
