Top Cafes in Croydon, Surrey

Absolutely incredible here - if you haven't been, you're seriously missing out. It saved me during maternity leave - there is such a welcoming, kind community for mums, with everyone willing to chat and be open/vulnerable and help one another. There is also a lovely balance of understanding that if you want some alone/down time with you and your child, that's okay too. There is never any pressure to be chatty and full of beans - we all understand that lack of sleep is horrendous. The food is fantastic quality and inexpensive, and the classes/events run there are excellent value - and quite often free! Then the manager Georgina - what can I say? She's saved me on so many occasions with her lovely big smile, kind words and understanding nature. She's even recognised when I've been on the brink of tears, and sat playing with my son so I could have 5 minutes peace and a hot chocolate. I am yet to find another business that genuinely feels like family - Boon is the key support network we all need as mums, so please visit so that you can experience the joy and warmth that every mum needs.

We adore Boon. It is honestly such a Godsend! We pop in most days now and always have a lovely time. Georgina is so kind and welcoming and has created the perfect space where everyone just feels at home. Coffee is excellent which helps too! It feels like it’s just as much a place for mums as a place for the babies- which isn’t always the case! We’ve also been to some of the events - like art classes and playgroup and baby massage etc and loved everything. Always reasonably priced and always the same lovely vibe. We love it so much we’ve booked to host a family party there next month.

Love this place been a couple of times. I avoid during half term as can get really busy. I take my 1yr old the other day and she had a blast. Can’t comment on food as have only had coffee which is beautifully made and taste great.

I would recommend separating an area for pre crawling babies so they have somewhere to crawl around without other kids invading their space as toddlers have no spacial awareness.

Boon is such a lovely, welcoming space for mums and young children. There’s plenty of space for babies and little ones to crawl around, bouncy chairs and play mats for babies not yet on the move. There’s plenty of space for pushchairs and a good supply of high chairs so you’re not fighting over space.

As a new mum it can be a little daunting getting out and about in public with your new baby but Georgina has really created a space that caters to mums and children alike. Great coffee, cakes and pastries and the new food menu is a great addition (especially the chicken soup).

We love this place the coffee is so good and cakes exceptionally nice and fresh. Most of all Georgina is so welcoming and kind. This place is a one off. ❤️ 😍
