The Best Cafes in Blackbrook, Surrey, United Kingdom (2025)

A great little independent cafe in the heart of Leatherhead with friendly staff and great portions...the fresh OJ was superb. When a fry up calls the sunshine cafe is where I am headed.

I chose the breakfast (BR6), fried egg, bacon, sausage, baked beans, burger and chips, with toast included. That combination would probably be more of a brunch, but it was all good and a huge portion. £10.90 with a large cup of cappuccino.

Great place to go for breakfast, then followed by a nice walk along the amazing wetlands! Parking is great and free. There is loads of room outside including awesome outdoor pods which we used last time. The food is really nice and priced fairly. My personal tip is to arrive just after it opens, or around 9:30 - it’s not very busy then, and has a brilliant atmosphere. The staff are extremely friendly too.

Very good cafe, food is well cooked and presented. We had egg benedict and a full English breakfast. Service is friendly and fast. It does get very busy at peak times.

Great atmosphere and food. Good portions and reasonable price. However waitering service could be improved. Used cutlery and plates from previous customers were not cleared before we sat down in the cabin. We had to ask for someone to clear it when we were served our food despite waiters being available to clear it. Cutlery was not provided with the food, so I had to get it myself. The station nearest to us was not kept full, I had to ask for the manager for cutlery and to top it up. Tip for improvement: Waiters to clear tables more efficiently by prioritising tables people are sat at before clearing empty tables.

We came here for lunch after a walk around Horsell common. My parents have been here multiple times, but this was my first visit and I will definitely be returning. I have coeliac disease, but they advised that the allergens could be found online and that they had gluten free bread and buns to substitute. They also confirmed the chips are fried separate so are safe to eat. Food was delicious and reasonably priced, plenty of choice. They also have a dog menu, which is a nice touch.

Cafe with quite a large garden area (partially covered - they have a heated yurt!) which is well done up and nice to sit in. Good selection of cakes and drinks with table service. A bit pricey though!

First time came and amazing village… we had latte and duck (which is full)breakfast which was very delicious. What amazed me was the breakfast was hot till half way through as I ate slowly… lol. Anyw, that was super tasty for me. The whole experience was lovely and we planned to come back again some time in the near future.

Lovely dog friendly cafe in a beautiful village with lots of outdoor seating. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. They have a good selection of lunch options. The only critique we would make is that the coffee and walnut cake had little to no coffee in it. But lunch was delicious.

Had a lovely breakfast at the dabbling duck. The staff were all very friendly and service and food could not be faulted. There was only one fly in the ointment. We sat inside the cafe as did a lot of dog owners. My friend has allergies and is a bit wary of dogs so it was a bit off putting to her. They were also all a bit over excited and ‘talking’ to each other which made it hard for us to converse. I’ve no objection to well behaved dogs but not everyone feels the same for various reasons and they are not necessarily just being intolerant. The Dabbling Duck has a large heated marquee outside as well as covered heated outdoor seating. Would it not be a good compromise to welcome dogs only to these areas and keep the small inside seating area pet free. Other than that small niggle it was a lovely brunch before a bracing walk in beautiful countryside surrounding Shere.

I would highly recommend the Wine tasting and cellar tour. Very informative and great to learn the history of the estate. The food in the Gallery Restaurant was exceptional with stunning views and first class service by our server Chloe.

Really lovely tour. The train car ride was my favourite bit. The views were STUNNING. The only reason I’m not giving full 5 stars is because I did not enjoy the wine tasting. It felt incredibly rushed and we only tasted 3 wines, all of which were similar, I would have liked a bit more variety. As well as it felt like everything EXCEPT wine was being promoted. Really beautiful place though Lunch was AMAZING

We recently visited the Denbies Wine Estate and had a lovely time! The vineyard was beautifully decorated, creating a festive atmosphere that our kids absolutely loved. They especially enjoyed the train ride and meeting Santa Claus and Elves.

Booking can be done online and thank you to the staff who remembered that it was my friend’s bday (i placed a note during online booking which i forgot lol) - they gave him a glass of wine upon arrival. Food wise- it’s reasonably priced. Huge serving and delicious. We got pork cutlet for main and lentil soup for appetizer. Dessert is just okay the brownie bite was kinda hard but overall it was an amazing lunch experience. Theres an art gallery within the estate and gift shop worth visiting. We werent able to do a vineyard tour coz it rained but we will definitely come back. Shout out to Kai- she’s very accommodating and warm to the gallery restaurant customers. She’s the one who took our order and served the food. All staff were lovely.

Breakfast this morning with my amazing big sister, brother in law, nephew and Max the dog. They travelled 150 miles to get to me and I truly believe that empty plates, full tummies and smiles all round - speaks VOLUMES. Thank you so much lovely ladies for scrumptious food, welcoming atmosphere and I the beginning of a new tradition - SO VERY GRATEFUL Gem 💎

We went to Ruby's cafe recently and had a lovely lunch, the staff were super friendly and the food was really yummy. Although it was very very busy the food came out quickly and the staff couldn't do enough to help us. Really lovely cafe and looks super nice since there has been improvements on the outside cladding. 10/10 would recommend!

Fabulous cafe tucked away of the main road into Capel. Nice breakfast, seating outside overlooking the lake. Friendly staff, very peaceful place. On a cold frosty morning warm yourself up inside in front of their real log fire.

Had a lovely chill time at Ruby’s and wondered round the lake. Vegan alternative was made and well enjoyed. Emma was serving us and gave us a lovely service. We were made to feel welcome to take our time and wonder the lakeside. Super relaxed. Good place for pondering. Friendly neighbour cat visited too!

My partner and I came here for some lunch. It was very busy, but still found a table and it was cleared for us immediately. The busy, bustling atmosphere was nice, and didn't affect wait times for ordering or recieving food. The gentleman that served us at the counter was so friendly, polite and professional, and all the staff were attentive and polite. We had our labrador with us and there were lots of other dogs there today too which was lovely. The food was delicious, with lots of choice. Will definitely go back.

We have been customers of this delightful place for many many years and will continue to be for many more. Always friendly, lovely Coffee and pastries and more importantly always open on public holidays, special days and regardless of the weather conditions, so reliable and so rare these days. Fiona is a first class Manager who runs an excellent business and she is lovely with it.

Visiting my home town from Australia! Amazingly beautiful decor - loved it! Even the bathroom is gorgeous 😊❤💚

A national trust cafe at the top of Box Hill where you can take a rest from walking. A selection of hot and cold snacks. There is a log burner fire which is wonderful to warm up next to. They were sadly out of baked potatoes when we visited around 1:30pm on Sunday. However, the carrot and orange soup was good and the hot Cornish pasties were delicious! There are also toilet facilities outside. The café was busy but we were able to find a table inside and people are constantly coming and going.

There is a takeaway section which is great for a treat and drink on the go! The prices are very reasonable too. I got a chai latte and it was great ! Thank you so much!

As a regular customer I cannot fault either the Cafe or the Serving Hatch as they both provide delicious food and certainly the best coffee in the area. The Manageress is very efficient and extremely friendly with all her customers and as a result the whole place runs like clockwork when she is on duty. A truly delightful place to visit for a relaxing snack

Amazing. I took my daughter here last Sunday for breakfast. The place was really busy but they found us a table and the lady that looked after us was really friendly and welcoming. My daughter had the all day breakfast and it was an amazing generously portioned amount of food. I had the bacon sandwich which was one of the best I've had. Can't rate the staff, restaurant and the food highly enough. We will certainly go back again. Thank you

Great community cafe with good choice of food and hot/cold drinks. We sat outside in the sunshine and shared a pot of tea with 2 scones, jam & clotted cream. The waitress was very helpful and the prices were reasonable.

Nice place to go and sit outside if the weather is nice and you need a break in between shopping. The daily specials, judging by my companion's meal are worth trying. The inside is OK. My bill was wrong when compared to the menu, but it was quickly sorted

Only really go for the under-5s soft play. The coffee has always been good, and the children's food is great. The soft play is decent for the size of the place and is a nice bonus. Could probably be a bit cleaner, but the children certainly don't care.
