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.

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.

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!

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.

We had a lovely time visiting Canopy Coffee. The smoothies were great, and the toasties were perfect for our lunch stop. Staff were friendly and definitely recommended.

Amazing little hole in the wall. Tasty coffee but it’s their incredible toasted sandwiches that stole the show. I would go as far as to say… best toastie I’ve ever had! (P.S. my pic does it zero justice.)

There’s a charming café in my area that I’ve been visiting for several years now, and every time I go, it brings me so much joy. It’s not just a place to enjoy a good cup of coffee; it’s a space where friendships are made and cherished moments with loved ones take shape. They offer a small selection of delicious snacks—simple yet incredibly tasty. As for the coffee, I always like mine prepared a little differently than most, and they never fail to deliver an amazing taste every time. What truly makes this café special is the friendly and welcoming team. Today, in particular, I was impressed by Bogdan, a kind Ukrainian barista who has been working here for a while. His warm service and attention to detail finally inspired me to leave a well-deserved positive review and write a few kind words about this wonderful place. You guys are doing an outstanding job, and I wholeheartedly recommend this café to anyone looking for a cozy spot with great service. Wishing you all continued success—keep up the fantastic work!

Such a great coffee shop. My husband is a coffee snob and highly recommends the authentic and variety of coffee here. The people were very friendly as well. Only lost a star because there really isn't any seating (I understand it is limited to their space) but great idea to have two ordering stations to keep the shop from overcrowding. Wish there was one closer to us!

Great little village shop and tea room . Stopped here on a bike ride for a coffee and snack. Lovely friendly staff and good service. Great prices too. Only marked the food down a smidge as the sausage roll was very dry. The cakes looked very nice , will definitely try next time. Highly recommend for a coffee stop but probably not for a lunch stop. Lovely sitting outside.

Called in today with a group of 9 motorcyclists. Made very welcome and we all enjoyed the food. Most of us had bacon baps, sausage baps, sausage rolls and filled baguettes. Also tuna, salmon and other choices. All well made. Freshly baked baguettes but did envy the lovely salad served with the bap (not with the baguette?). Clean and modern but still with character and with parking outside. Well worth a stop for cake or a light lunch.

A popular cafe which offers takeaway and eat in. We had sandwiches and tea. The sandwiches were made to order, with plenty of filling 😋. My husband used the facilities, he said was clean, but downstairs. I'm not sure if there's a disabled toilet that is on the same level as the cafe. Staff were polite, and we didn't have to wait long to be served. We called in at lunchtime.

Great coffee and very quick and friendly service. Got dropped off here by a friend to then catch a train from just around the country. Felt very welcomed by conter staff . Lovely simple Bacon sandwich freshly cooked. This place is immaculate! Great place for breakfast before getting on the train.

Perran rates pastries: Roost Godalming Coffee: 4/5 - Great foam and great tasting coffee. Nothing special but would definitely go back again to try more! Pastry: 5/5 - There were some nerves about the carrot cake due to the price and hoping it would be good but it really did not disappoint. Best carrot cake I’ve had in a very long time. The new standard of carrot cake. It was moist, flavoursome and a great portion! Spennyness: 4/5 - £2.50 for an espresso which is good for British prices and £3.30 for a flat white which isn’t awful but the carrot cake was £4 and it was really good so you didn’t mind too much but it isn’t cheap! Overall I’d definitely go back. All the staff were happy, accommodating and friendly!

A nice little garden at the back, perfect over the hot weekend - it wasn’t very busy. Coffee and the smoothie arrived quite quickly, food took ages. Avo on toast was delicious, can’t say the same about the taco salad.

We had a great experience here for breakfast. The BBQ beans and avocado on toasts options were tasty and filling, the coffee was flavourful, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. We had a 9 month old with us and they helped by serving us at the table and interacting with our baby. The pantry items to buy might be a bit on the pricey side, but they look to not include and preservatives or E numbers. Overall we would come here again!

Love this place. The perfect quintessential English pub with great food, wine and ambience. Warm and friendly waiting staff in white shirts, traditionally laid tables and a great menu with references back to the 70s - prawn cocktails, wellingtons, liver and bacon. The food was brilliant.

First visit to meet a friend. Very busy as it was December but a welcoming fire was almost the first thing we saw. There was an a la carte or a festive menu to choose from. The soup of the day and fishcakes were lovely and service was great. It will be our new favourite place to meet

We only used the cafe and toilets as we were walking on Saturday. It was busy so had to be outside in the rare sunshine we all had a sandwich and coffee. On of the group said her hummus and veg sandwich on granary, “was the best sandwich out ever “ !! My sandwich and coffee was delicious too! The service for takeaway was fast. Thank you

We had a lovely Welsh Rarebit for lunch and I requested a slice of cheese and onion quiche to take away. Both were wonderful and it was nice they provided a salad and coleslaw with the takeaway quiche. Friendly staff too.

Absolutely first class scones and cakes - best scones I have ever bought! In the wonderful weather it was a pleasure eating out. Shame about the take-away staff stopping service as they were falling behind with service indoors and treating customers as a nuisance…telling them it was going to take ages and not to ask for progress after waiting patiently for 10 minutes….twice!

We stopped at this spot after a long flight and it was just what we needed. It should be on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives - not a fancy place, but good food, good service for a good price. So if this is what you are looking for (see photo below) this is the place.

Best fry-up I've had for ages - decent ingredients perfectly cooked, with friendly service. And the majestic sauté potatoes should be mandatory on a fry-up... A far superior potato product to the tasteless, cardboard triangles of misery that have become the norm. Top marks.

Had a great fry up here on a Saturday morning. Sadly it was so good I didn’t get a picture in time. Great value, cooked fresh to order. Definitely will come back.
