“The best coffee in Godalming :) We stopped here twice, because once wasn’t enough, and got the pumpkin spiced latte both times. While we didn’t get any cakes, it looked incredibly tempting. There is also chess and board games available, which is great for a rainy day. The interior is very welcoming and cosy and it is dog-friendly, with dog biscuits and water.”

The best coffee in Godalming, hands down! We recently moved to the area and a visit here helped us choose the area knowing we could come here for an independent coffee! For anyone getting a takeaway coffee from one of the chains, please give The Journalist a go, you won’t regret it!

Great little stop, very close to Surrey Orthodontists which makes it handy for a quick tea or coffee if you’re early for an appointment. Always friendly, quiet. Not an overwhelming environment for those with ASC/SPD.

Really fantastic little cafe that serves some excellent coffee and has some amazing looking bakes. The cafe is very small. Not many seats inside but it feels intimate. The coffee is really the standout. Excellent cup and great flavour. Probably one of the nicest cafes in the town!

Superb coffee and a cozy atmosphere! Voted the best in all of Surrey, and I couldn’t agree more. Merve is unbelievably friendly and personable. The baklava was the perfect addition to my cappuccino. Highly recommend this spot—I'll definitely be back!

“One of the very few authentic, high-quality, family-run cafes left in Blackheath. The Arts Cafe is an absolute gem in the area. The tortilla, toasties, pasta, pastries, and coffee are all excellent. We love visiting on a weekly basis. It's very family-friendly, with outdoor/indoor seating, games, books, and sandpits for kids. As well, they have a nice selection of wines and beers for an early aperitivo. Thanks, Fran and Anna, for bringing good food to the area and bringing the community together in your space.”

“Brilliant place. Well set out. Very dog friendly. Great staff, great food. It has everything you need even a dog washing station and ice-cream. My dog had a venison chew supplied by them. Ate it so fast only managed to get her picking her lips at the end.”

“It was amazing to see such an extensive vegan and vegetarian menu. The food was wonderful, and was very reasonably priced. My only criticism is that delivery drivers were constantly walking in and out collecting orders, and it took us a while to get the bill despite being the only ones eating in.”

“We had a great experience here the other day. This cafe restaurant was busy so we had to park a newlands corner across the road. The staff were friendly and even though it was busy the service was quick. We both ordered burgers for lunch, which cost £16 each. My own burger was the plucky pheasant beef burger, with cheddar and chilli jam. This was a mighty burger, that had a great taste, texture and was filled with toppings. It came with crispy french fries and a salad. Loved this burger! My other half ordered the Southern fried chicken burger which was also good, though not as epic as the beef burger. Worth knowing this is a dog friendly cafe, and at busy times like this there were about 10 dogs in the tented area where we were seated. All well behaved and a joy to see 😀 Updating based on our second trip here, as ever great atmosphere and place to get some excellent food. This time around I had a Moroccan lamb sandwich which was superbly tasty, my other half had the chicken panini which she wasn't too impressed by. The salad dressing looked a bit strange but worked well flavour wise . We sat indoors to order lunch, it was cosy, the staff were friendly as usual and food arrived promptly.”

“Spur of the moment decision to visit as wanted a cooked breakfast. Staff were really lovely and found us a table straight away. Service was quick and the food was really good. Only small negative was that the cafe was really cold but this too be expected as it's in an old barn and it was zero degrees outside.”

“Had been wanting to visit for a few years as this cafe and village has been made somewhat famous by a certain film franchise (I do believe?!) and it’s very charming. Understandably busy due to it being a bank holiday Sunday lunchtime but we managed to get a table. Service was very friendly and the decor is super cute. It would’ve been nice to have the heating on as it was quite chilly, but I always feel the cold more than most. Food took a while to come, but again, it was busy. However food was lovely and it was hard to choose what to have as there was really good choice for veggies. Didn’t try the cakes but they looked incredible! Definitely worth a visit.”

“Great coffee shop hidden in one of the tranquil narrow path ways of Guildford high Street. Great food served in a very tiny setting which gave us a little bit of a squashed feeling. But in general it was a fantastic experience, gorgeous coffee and a lovely Mother's day treat.”

“Lovely community café! Really nice atmosphere, excellent selection of food and snacks (the sandwich was 👌🏻), and all *extremely* reasonably priced. Great selection for kids too - came in with my preschooler and we had all this for under £10. I'm certain this is almost half the price of anywhere else locally. Wish I'd discovered it sooner!”

“This place is THE friendliest spot in Blackheath. And it is 100% the chaps who work here. Only staying for a couple of weeks, so can’t really speak for all of blackheath, but these guys seem to bring a smile to the faces of so many London commuters (is there a harder challenge in the world?!) Go say hi and grab a coffee! Location note: it’s actually on the (London-bound) platform, but there’s no ticket barrier. So you could always nip down off the high street!”
