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

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 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.

What a find!! As soon as you walk in their’s such a warm welcome from the employees. I think it’s fantastic having a cafe in Dorking that’s giving people with learning disabilities the opportunity to work in the community. The service was amazing and the food delicious! I’m looking forward to going back and working my way through the menu! Compared to other cafes in Dorking it’s very reasonably priced. They also sell cards in there that are hand made by people who go to the grange. Our server called Guy was exceptionally helpful, polite and chatty. It really does make a difference getting a service with a smile! Another plus… it’s dog friendly! Can’t wait to go back.

Delightful find when visiting Dorking. Very light and airy cafe with good access for wheelchairs, pushchairs etc and enough space inside for them. Delicious soup and roll, with the option of having the roll warmed. Since I had only ordered a soup I received a complimentary glass of tap water. Cafe is staffed by young people with learning difficulties. I would definitely return when next in Dorking

I stumbled upon Aldag Charity Cups & Co during my first visit to Dorking, and what a delightful find it was! Walking down the High Street, my hunger led me to explore a random cafe, and I'm so glad I did. The charming appearance of the cafe caught my eye, and little did I know, it had a heartwarming mission of employing individuals with learning difficulties/disabilities. Although I'm quite particular about food, I decided to give it a try, and I must say, I wasn't disappointed. The flavors were on point, and even my discerning taste buds were won over. The standout for me was the sorbet, a burst of amazing flavors that left me wishing for a bigger serving – it was that good! The staff at Aldag Charity Cups & Co were not only well presented but also incredibly polite. The lady who seemed to be overseeing things was exceptionally sweet and attentive, making the dining experience all the more pleasant. The sincerity of the staff and the positive atmosphere they created added to the overall appeal of the cafe. If fate brings me back to the area, there's no doubt I'd make a return visit to Aldag Charity Cups & Co. It would be for that irresistible sorbet and a refreshing iced coffee. This cafe is a true gem, not just for its culinary offerings but for the positive impact it makes in the community.

I visited here worse for wear after coming off my bike. The staff were superb, they patched me up and then served up a fine coffee and cake. The staff and management were very kind and lifted my spirits on an otherwise painful day. Will definitely return when next in the area and hopefully, minus injuries.

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

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 :)

Super friendly staff with a lovely smile. She made an amazing chocolate for me. The afternoon tea set is absolutely worth to try. The chicken sandwiches are delicious and the cheese scone is tasty. Cozy and clean environment.

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

I’ve been a couple of times to this cafe and it’s my absolute favourite!!! The food is bloody lovely and the service is also great! Well worth the money! Highly recommend. Won’t go anywhere else for a breakfast when I want a cooked breakfast! Top notch!

First time to this cafè as I was in there area. Very nice cafè with good social distance measures in place. I ordered ham, egg & chips and was nicely surprised to see I got proper ham (thick ham) not the thin ham from the packs. Prices are fair and food is a good standard. Staff are friendly. If your in the area you should pop in.

Really nice breakfast, accommodated 15 of us with ease, had no issue adding another breakfast, or swapping items, all came out within minutes. Just over a tenner each with coffees.

Great bacon sausage and egg baguette and latte coffee. Very welcoming staff and inside space. Missed our bus so a lucky find for mid day stack. Does Burgers and jacket spuds all at reasonable price.

Excellent place for breakfast, decent portions with quality ingredients for a good price and friendly staff. Even better without the yappy dogs that came in, but don't let that get in the way, this is a great café.

Really good service. The food was great and really reasonably priced.. I'd recommend.

What a lovely cafe and enough choices on the menu, we had 2 large veggie breakfasts and one large English breakfast, service was quick and food delicious 😋 and for dog owners there is a menu for dogs 😁

Stopped Burford Brunch and was not disappointed Cooked to order and delicious, piping hot too !

Delicious fresh home-made burger and sausage rolls! Excellent friendly customer service! Highly recommended make a visit! Lovely little place to go in Capel.

Just passing through town. Stopped for a cool drink and a pot of tea. Had the home made pumpkin scones (plain scones with pieces of pumpkin through the dough). Bit different to the normal pumpkin scones but still tasty. Loose leaf tea was so much nicer than the normal or bag tea. Found the only downside was the table service was a bit slow. Saw one couple who had been there before us leave. They had their toasted sandwich as a takeaway.

Beautiful, bustling, friendly and home cooked. Just love it. Sadly no salt beef hash today - but the scotch egg was awesome as was the feta, spinach and salmon muffin. I will bring friends and family here.

Recently came here for a takeaway coffee and sandwich. The coffee is lovely and the Bacon, Brie and Cranberry sandwich is amazing, very cheesy and very tasty. Quick and friendly service and reasonably priced. Would recommend and will come again

LOVE Beryl and Pegs! Superb food, service with a smile and excellently sourced produce. They serve a proper full English with bubble & fried slice - but plenty of sourdough, avocado & poached eggs etc if that’s your thing. Great, hearty sandwiches & homemade cakes too. First class all the way! You can walk in but … Very popular, so worth booking a table. Highly recommend!

Just amazing. Love the back story of how it became. Food is super quality and the service is 10/10. Highly recommended.

Super quirky, quintessentially English, engulfing ambience for coffee lovers, like yours truly! Brilliant coffee options, cakes, and menu! Highly recommended 👌

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…

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.

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.

The most beautiful coffee shop, in an idyllic setting. The food is diverse and caters for everyone. The staff are super helpful and it is dog friendly. They also have two beautiful donkeys in the paddocks. You can also buy local produce and homemade items. Why go to Costa when you can go somewhere like here.

This is a wonderful little farm shop that has some fantastic food and friendly service. The shop is lovely. Seems to be all home made food very nicely presented. Service is friendly and efficient. The seating area is quite large with some big tables. Outside area is also available. Would really recommend a visit.

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!

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.

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.

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.
