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

Antonio the owner is very pleasant and the coffee is high quality. You need to ask for what you want as there is no show case to choose.

High quality delicious food, top quality fresh ingredients, high standard of food/drinks and service by food professionals, grocery store / deli counter fantastic, all from Italy. Prices very affordable and good value. Good atmosphere, attracts really nice local people. Also has an alcohol licence, drinks to drink in or take away, good cafe, really nice. Highly recommended.

I Calabresi is a charming Italian deli offering a wide selection of dried goods and sweet treats. We went for breakfast and whilst no breakfast is served, the coffee is decent and the staff is friendly. The interior could use a refresh, but the authentic Italian products make it worth a visit.

Great little Italian cafe / deli. Nice range of Italian produce to eat in or take away. Service is excellent.

Lovely atmosphere, small friendly and the staff were a delight… as a non drinker it was great to sit in a wine bar enjoying a lovely hot chocolate whilst my friend sampled the wine!

It is a shame that lock down has prevented this shop and wine bar from being what it is meant to be; a great place to come and see people. At the moment it is a mixture between cafe, flower shop and wine shop. Given the current situation it is doing all of these things well, I just cant wait for it to reopen fully. Maybe by May? This is a good place to get take out coffee and croissants. Its not too expensive and the coffee is very good, smoother and hot. It is also a good place to get impressive house plants and pots. I really love the floating/hovering bonsai tree pots, and miniature Zen gardens. At last the wine, it is an 'amazing' South African wine shop. From Rickety Bridge to Chocolate Bar, you can find a bottle of red or white for any meal. They even sell organic certified brands. On a budget you can spend £7-8 or wanting to splash out they sell some premium bottles for £35+. The staff know what they are talking about and very willing to discuss flavours and tastes. As I this wine bar is perfect but not yet fulfilling its potential. When it is fully open you can book for a private party with a capacity of about 35. Or drop in for a 'lunch' and glass. I recommend it

Attended a Jazz/rat pack event organised by Stella. This was our first time since it had changed owners. We were greeted by Adam as we arrived. Ordered our drinks and he said he would bring them over. We chose a medium signature platter. More than enough for 2 . A selection of meats and cheeses. We were impressed it came with a demi baguette . It was all delicious. Hubby had the Wimbledon beer . Which he raved about and I had several cocktails. Instead of opting from tne good selection of wines. The atmosphere was great and food delicious. The staff attentive. We will definitely be back.

What can I say other than this place is amazing! A real hidden gem, and one I want to keep secret so it doesn’t get overwhelmed; but also want to scream about to everyone because it’s so brilliant! Given it’s size, there aren’t huge numbers of tables and this isn’t somewhere you want to rush. I would highly recommend booking a table in advance - especially during the current restrictions. The decor is unique as a concept, all of the plants are for sale and there is also a selection of terrariums (which are beautifully made) along with pots and other small indoor gardening things which are for sale. They’re not cheap, but they are expertly made - a FAR cry from anything you’d see at the local garden centre. These are artisan level, seriously! Nestled in amongst all of this are the tables to sit at which gives a wonderful atmosphere. It could be throwing it down outside and you’d leave expecting it to be sunny and warm after you’ve spent any time in here. The staff and the owners are truly lovely people and the service is perfect. The food is simple, very reasonably priced and delicious - the perfect combination! They also had a lemon and orange cake when I went which was clearly homemade and tasted exceptionally good - and it was £3 a slice to boot! I left feeling happily full both in my stomach and my soul. There is an extensive wine list (all South African wines), and a couple of good non-alcoholic drinks options in addition to teas and coffees. There is NO doubt in my mind that I will be returning on a regular basis. Thank you!!

Looked a nice place and thanks from Graveney cricket club to let us shelter in your cafe when a monsoon type rain storm hit mid afternoon last Saturday.

I have never been to this place before ! Tucked away in the hills. Very friendly staff at the pavilion, also very reasonable food and has a good variety of food to eat there in a pleasant atmosphere. Will visit again soon.

Lovely little find in a very picturesque village.

Great little café, open Friday 11-2 and Saturday 11-3. The coffee and smoothies are excellent.

Amazing place, shop and food. Stella is great always friendly and does alot for the community - trick or treat for the kids at Halloween for example. A true gem to have in the community and we'll worth a visit.

Absolutely lovely eating establishment, if in Coulsdon and feeling peckish get yourself down there, Stella nows her stuff the food is amazing friendly atmosphere what more could you ask for. Definitely going back ,see you soon Stella

My daughter and I went for lunch and was not disappointed. Stella herself was so friendly as were her customers. Great atmosphere! The interior design was filled with lovely sentimental items (from her family). Including food items to purchase. From the menu we ordered picky bits and gyros … it was so delicious and looked amazing! The restaurant is licensed too, we had Prosecco in Stella’s mum’s ornate and precious flutes. The place is a gem. Our first visit but not our last!

What a find! 😁 A must stop if you're passing through, if you're local you are very lucky. This is a Fantastic award winning Greek Delhi. Stella is owner, a lovely, positive person 😊 Fresh salads and sandwiches, hot drinks and more Plenty of room to eat in or at tables outside too. You're in for a treat

We celebrated my daughters 6th birthday here using the private children’s afternoon tea, pamper and spa experience. I was nervous as this was my first time throwing a birthday party but they made me feel so at ease as I barely had to lift a finger. Vera and the team couldn’t be more accommodating, they catered for the children with egg and nut allergies with such yummy food which was much appreciated. My daughter and her friends had the most amazing time and I couldn’t recommend this place more!💗💗

Visited for my friends birthday with a Hello Kitty theme, was so thrilled as she loves hello kitty so this option was super fun and unique! It was very nice and the decor was gorgeous. The staff were friendly and kind. We had a great time and would recommend for a cute birthday afternoon tea!

Princess Brunch with a 3 yr old! An adorable meet and greet with 2 princesses, who really took the time to build trust with a group of preschoolers! Vera accommodated everybody with a lovely brunch, varied drinks for the children and a hot drink for the adults! Lots to keep the children entertained - stories, dancing, singing, games and princess treats + endless photo moments! The fact the booking was reasonably small made it even more enjoyable as the children got time with the princesses and weren’t rushed at all! Can’t wait to take my niece next time to “ the pink princess house” as my 3 yr old says!

Absolutely amazing place with every little detail ! Had early lunch here with my friend, and the food was really good, too ! Again, so much thought and detail was put into it. Vera, the owner is such a talented person who not only created this place with all the beauty and her products she also creates experience for every person who comes in! Definitely this is a place where you want to feel special welcome and have a moment for yourself ! Thank you Vera 😇💞💞💞

I'll join all the praises. This place doesn't get them because it's the only coffee shop in the area. It makes a great coffee, by all standards. And the owner was super friendly as well. Iced flat white was just what we needed after a hike!

Such a loving atmosphere, the service was so lovely and nice. We went on a Sunday around 4pm and it was so peaceful. Food and dessert were amazing. Best pizza I’ve ever had. The tiramisu was sooo delicious, best I’ve had. Would 1000% recommend. Prices were very affordable £13+ for a large pizza.

Service and Atmosphere was great and so was the quality of the food and drinks. We had olives whilst we waited for pizza. The option is available to have pizza bread with olives. But I didn't see the point as we're going to have pizza. It would of been nice to be able to order some nice sliced bread with the olives. Menu was straight and not to over complicate. We enjoyed our meal I'm returning next week with the family.

I bought some pizzas to takeaway for a family gathering from Barone. You can call up or order online and they are both straightforward. It's easy to order for 'ASAP' or in advanced. The staff are friendly and accommodating for requirements. Last but not least, the pizza was on time and delicious! The whole family loved the pizza base, sauce and the toppings. I will definitely be coming back here and recommending to anyone who asks for local, authentic pizza.

Absolutely beautiful Pizza! I think this is the best I’ve had in a long time, and I’ve recently been to Pizza Pilgrims, Franca and many others in the UK. The service was welcoming, warm and friendly. The prices are so good. I can’t wait to go back.

I found this lil place online and went to check when I was nearby, I was pleasantly surprised by the simplicity, kindness and good food!

Great little hidden gem. Friendly owners. Good brekkie.

Hi there, I'm posting today to recommend DD's Cafe based on the Chipstead Valley Road, Coulsdon. I am eating here 4 or 5 days a week (lunchtimes), the food is very tasty, and the Cottage Pie is to die for, and very reasonably priced. The young couple who run the establishment, are personable, run a clean, friendly cafe....a little gem.

A lovely spot in Coulsdon! The cafe has a charming, traditional ambiance that makes you feel at home right away. The owners are warm and welcoming, polite and genuinely friendly, which really adds to the experience. They serve good, honest food at very reasonable prices – no frills, just quality meals that hit the spot. Service is excellent, and you can tell they care about their customers. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a good cafe with a personal touch. This covers all your points and gives a potential customer a great sense of what to expect!

Great quality coffee and food. Small but lovely atmosphere. Makes you want to keep going back. Can’t imagine anywhere else ticking all our boxes! Thank you. 🤩

A regular stop for me as the coffee and food are great and I always get a very warm welcome from Tracy and the other staff. Well worth a visit!!

Fabulous cafe. Free wifi! Outside and inside seating. Hot and cold menu. Superb coffee! Fast service.

Lovely place that felt bright and breezy inside and out. I was only there briefly for about half an hour at most and enjoyed a lovely coffee and shared a tuna & sweetcorn toastie with my friend which was very nice. The ingredients tasted fresh. The lady working there who was the owner I think was very pleasant and friendly. The cafe itself seemed small inside although quaint almost, unusual and inviting ~ somewhere to hide away if you wanted to and then the patio garden at the front of the cafe had enough space to house a few tables and chairs, under umbrellas and it all looked out on to a quieter road coming off of a busier street. It was quite delightful but then it was also a lovely hot day and I was feeling in a good mood and these sorts of things also make a difference, don't they? But like I said the lady was nice, the one working there... welcoming but not ott like 👍 I would definitely go there again How can I forget to mention... There were what looked like some delicious cakes inside the cafe, at the counter when I went up to pay, but I didn't buy one.. I was thinking, "Ahh, when I come again I'll have to try one!"

good food £10 full english breakfast and choice of coffee/tea. very nice service, interesting atmosphere. the toilet looks terrible from the outside, but it is clean, with paper, water and a working hand dryer. I recommend !

It’s rare you find places like these these days. Amazing proper food, friendly stuff, awesome vibes!
