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

I commute a lot for work since I do a lot of inspections. Usually the food I eat while at work is mediocre since I have to find whatever is in the area however this was not the case at Deli Class Cafe. The menu was concise and everything sounded absolutely delicious and the grilled chicken salad stood above the rest for me. It arrived swiftly, a lot sooner than I thought it would have. It was delivered to my table with a smile and a quick double check to ensure I had everything I had. Not only was the food quick but it was absolutely delicious. It is easy to see why this is a popular spot for the locals. The staff remembered names and faces which created a warm and inviting atmosphere. After my meal I was stuffed! The food was absolutely delicious, nutritious and filling all at a reasonable price of £9.95! This meal still occupies my mind and has yet to be topped while out on my work trips.

Really delicious food! It's a quaint restaurant and deli in Horsell that is serving seriously tasty Italian food. Felt very home cooked and authentic. My frutti di mare pasta was one of the best I've had!

Great place for breakfast, lunch, or just a cup of their delicious coffee. The deli is packed with all sorts of cheese, meats, biscuits, and incredible pastries. The staff are so friendly and the service is excellent. Will be visiting again.

Loved it. Proper old school, family run cafe with traditional Italian produce. The food is fantastic, with fresh ingredients such as pasta, panini and breakfasts. The service is a little rushed, as it's a very popular cafe. It is cramped inside, which is a given, but the atmosphere is great, and feels like a proper local. Would recommend!

What a lovely cafe and it helps the community! So glad we found the cosy cafe. Tucked away at the top of the lighthouse building it is well worth finding! We followed the signs and found such a cosy welcoming place, great for a bite to eat and the loose leaf tea was amazing! Will definitely be back

My husband and I discovered this cosy cafe a couple of days ago. The coffee was really good, the toasty was freshly made and you're supporting a charity. It's a win-win!

Best coffee in Woking, period. Friendly and polite volunteers run cafe for your local charity and provide exceptional service. Highly recommend paying a visit. Better still, be a regular and try the food and drinks on offer. Don’t be put off by the thought of going up the stairs, it’s good exercise! Avoid all global chains that don’t pay a penny in taxes!

So happy I’ve found the Cosy Coffee House! This is proper barista coffee in sweet crockery and I love it. Possibly the best cafe in Woking and Guildford… Lovely (super friendly staff) relaxing cafe with proper squidgy sofas too. Cakes looked good but didn’t try. I’ll be back as soon as I can for brownie sampling!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic place for cyclists to stop for a cup of coffee and a snack, or a full on brunch. Plenty of seats outside and 2 floors inside. There is a place to park bikes outside, too! Plenty of room all in all and no need to book in advance. Wide selection of cakes, pastries, scones and sandwiches, salads, what have you. Absolutely everything was delicious, and I loved your porridge. Thanks a lot, will definitely be back!

In my opinion one of the most underrated places to get a coffee in Surrey. The head barista really knows his coffee and they have a great selection of cakes. I asked for an espresso but was told it would be more like an aeropress/drip style. I was happy with that as I have one at home. I was recommended strength 6 and have to say it was very tasty. For cake, I had the white chocolate, pistachio loaf which again, was very nice. Service was friendly, fast and informative. Can’t ask for much more. Highly recommend.

What an incredible, yet somewhat accidental find! Pinnocks is the most wonderful little cafe in the heart of Ripley. I wanted only to find a quick cup of coffee but what I found was an exquisite beamed ceiling and slate tiled floor, lovely farmhouse tables, a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Beautiful foods, perfect for a light lunch. There’s the gentle hum of conversation, a fresh produce delivery brought through… and what I was offered was not just a cup of coffee…At risk of sounding like a line from Rowan Atkinson in Love Actually…. This is SO much more than a cup of coffee! There are 7 different beans to choose from depending on your ‘roast’ preference. I chose Ethiopian and received a mug… Normally I prefer a cup, (because I’m a fan of delicate drinking!) but this wasn’t a chunky hunk of china. It was plastic and yet it didn’t detract from the coffee taste at all. Absolutely delicious! I cannot think of a better place to escape from the rain and enjoy an hour or so…I might be coming back for tea…

Lovely food and coffee in a beautiful old building. Upstairs there are sofas. Be aware that the staircase is a bit steep and there are low beams. We have been here a few times and I would recommend their pancakes. The atmosphere is great however if you go in the winter, make sure you wrap up warm as it is a very old building and the heating isn’t great. In the summer, they do also have a bit of outdoor space. I would definitely recommend.

Really great but it often gets so busy even on weekdays that I give up on waiting for a coffee. More staff needed and or a faster way to swap in staff from the pub. It’s a really great idea, just needs better staffing management ❤️

Amazing cafe with great food and lovely staff - we spend the whole day in the yurt cafe

Amazing place , amazing staff and I love coming here. Have been there before as well. This time reached after 3 pm so food options were limited . So we tried hot chocolate and scones and loved both. Fruit Scone was really really nice. Next time I will try the cheese scone :)

Wonderful place to visit, we stumbled across this place and would live to visit again. Great food and drinks, and will certainly return for an afternoon tea

Stopped here on a charity cycle ride from London to Poole. What an amazing pitstop for 15 minutes. Internally, the cafe is incredibly cosy, with a quintessential English feel to it, in a quiet, bucolic setting. When it comes to cakes, they offer all the classics, and by the taste of the granola bar I ordered, I reckon they have the recipes bang on. I also noticed a wide selection of teas, which I will have to try next time. Definitely worth stopping by if you are in the area and “gasping for that cuppa!”

Lovely location and decor. We had a sandwich and ploughman's, they tasted great and we loved the service.

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.

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.

This is my second time in Shere and at The Dabbling Duck. I came last year as well. I travel from New Zealand and love coming to this place with my family here in England. Great food and staff.

Very friendly local cafe - watch out for the massive portions on cakes and brownies! Takeaway bags given freely. Love the service here, they're really friendly and accommodating. Great sports with my chatty 7 year old too. I'm going to keep visiting, any place that goes out their way to make me feel welcome deserves by business.

I love the atmosphere, the coffee, the cakes. Friendly staff and very reasonable prices.

10/10 food and customer service, the cosiest atmosphere and a lovely woman! Definitely recommend!

First time having a breakfast here today at this place and I can honestly say what a great experience. First of all the owners are really down to earth and humourous people, who had me and my wife in a chuckle. They were also very nice and straight away made sure we were looked after. We sat down and had two large breakfasts and they were delicious and the best one we've had for a long time. We couldn't help but walk out of there with a beautiful home made cake either. A great place run by great people, definitely be back soon..... Very soon.

Brilliant service and coffee everytime. Wouldn't recommend the ham and cheese croissant personally...

Lovely little coffeeshop. Try the Iced Coconut Milk Matcha 🍵

Had a soy cappuccino and almond crossaint. I have say I've been a barista for many years and WOW that cappuccino has got to if been the absolute best one I've ever had! Thank you! The almond crossaint was baked to order and was delicious! I can't wait to be in the area again and come back!

In Horsell for a wedding but needed a good breakfast to set us up for the day. Well, the Horsell Kitchen did not disappoint! The black pudding Benedict was absolutely delicious and the decaf coffee was perfect. Highly recommend this place.

Wow! What a charming place to eat. Beautiful decor , Attentive staff, a mouthwatering menu, food cooked and served with love and care . Special thanks to the chef , the food was excellent, very tasty, great quality ingredients and piping hot. Coffee was wonderful too. I wish I lived in the area as I’d become a regular here . I had the full english ( 2 sausages , 2 bacon, fried egg,, black pudding, 3 hash browns , baked beans grilled tomato plus toast ) but was greedy and had a sausage ( 3 sausages) brioche bap afterwards , I recommend both, my wife had the smaller breakfast which was equally as nice . Great value for money !!!

Me and my wife were in the surroundings looking for a good place to have lunch and we found this perfect place! We had eggs royal and eggs Benedict with two fruit & veg smoothies, everything was delicious! Staff is super friendly and the space looks very well decorated which makes you feel at home! 100% recommended even if your not in the area!

A lovely local coffee shop in the heart of Horsell village. The place is spacious, clean and has a variety of products: coffee, teas, cakes, breakfast, sandwiches, smoothies, toast, etc. The staff are friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. They are dog friendly as well so if you’re walking the dog and you need to stop for a hot beverage this is the place to go. Great atmosphere, great food and great staff - it’s just a winner! ☕️🫖🥪🥙🧁🥮🍰
