First time popping in ,had an delicious hot chocolate served by a lovely young lady Megan 😍 the attention to detail could tell she was passionate about her craft and was an experience to see , such warm and friendly service and cosy atmosphere , would recommend highly. I could not believe as I was drinking the hot chocolate that the tree stayed in shape on the top 🤪

The atmosphere at FILTR was great, the coffee (my oat milk latte) was very smooth and tasty, it is great sustainably sourced coffee. I tried their coconut matcha latte on another occasion and I think they do coffee the best (I felt their was not enough matcha itself in the drink, but this may be personal preference). Seating available inside and outside, which is great to sip your coffee when the sun is out! Incredibly friendly and welcoming staff, great customer service!

Coco & Nut Coffee

Amazing hidden gem for vegan food! They have a new menu and there's a tiny note saying "vegan options available", and although they don't put it on their menu (they really should!!) they can do a vegan full English breakfast. There's also a guacamole on toast labelled vegan. The biggest thing was we couldn't believe how cheap it was. The guacamole toast was £7 and the full English was £10, and you get so much for the price too, and all great quality. We've easily paid double for this standard.. Seriously good and absolutely worth checking out The whole top shelf of their cake display was vegan too, so naturally I left with a banana and berry muffin to eat at home later Oh and the coffee was very tasty too! Both had with oat milk To the owners - put the vegan options on your menu! It's awesome!! Thank you for my tasty breakfast 😋🤤❤️

I recently dined at Coco and Nut with a group of 10, and I was incredibly impressed with how well they handled our last-minute booking. Despite the short notice, they accommodated our large party with ease. One of the standout aspects was how they catered to all of our dietary requirements—whether it was vegetarian, gluten-free, or any specific allergies, the staff were knowledgeable and ensured everyone had delicious options. Speaking of the staff, they were attentive throughout the entire meal, always checking in to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The menu offered a fantastic range of choices, with something for everyone. Whether you're after something light or a hearty meal, the variety was impressive. Overall, Coco and Nut exceeded our expectations, and I’d highly recommend it for both small and large gatherings!

It's a weekly ritual to get brunch on the weekend here. The food is incredible from the cooked menu to the displayed sandwiches. The sweets are going straight to your heart. Everything is made with love and care. The service was immaculate, and I adore the homey feeling. We were always asked for feedback on their new products and had such lovely chats with the staff. Lastly, the coffee is so good it's worth just poping in for a quick one.

This place is a hidden gem ! Rented out the cafe for my birthday celebration with my sister and all of our friends and it was a very good experience. They decorated the place very nicely for us and when we arrived the staff were so friendly and attentive. We were allowed to play our own music which was a plus and we ordered off the wine and cheese menu which was delicious and affordable. I have no bad things to say about this place and would definitely recommend it for a low key birthday event but also their bakery section is very good as well with a lot of variety and vegan options available.

Had a great brunch here with friends - great service, super accomodating and extremely friendly. Has improved leaps and bounds from the first opening and it's a sorely needed gem around the area. Food and coffee was fantastic and service quick, efficient and polite. Highly recommend. Only thing is more space needed (perhaps at the back?) so more customers can dine and enjoy the great cafe. Veg and vegan options were really good.

Brunch is delicious, and the customer service is also good. This was my second time visiting; the first time the customer service was not great, as the waitress was rude. However, during my second visit, the waitress was super friendly.

Excellent food and even better service! We had Halal English breakfast along with pasta and it was delicious. Also, I highly recommend their Moroccan tea. Thank you so much and hope to see you guys again soon :)

Le Bon Cafe, a popular spot for breakfast is an unsuspecting Moroccan restaurant which I have been meaning try. Finally went in but didn't try the Moroccan dishes as planned but will revisit again another time. To be fair, the Moroccan menu had a good range of the usual suspects like the tangine, pancakes and briwat. It seems the breakfast is more popular possibly because it is cheaper than the Moroccan dishes. I had the American pancakes with salmon and scrambled egg which was how it should be. It was served stacked which was quite different and the pancakes were thick and soft unlike the supermarket ones which you can buy. Will return for the Moroccan dishes so I can compare it to the ones at Shepherds bush which are a third cheaper.

I've been a member at Matthews Yard for a month and have already upgraded from the part time to full time membership. For me as someone who has just started their own company its the perfect place to work with friendly people and a variety of rooms with different setups that I can focus and get stuff done. I've found all members to be super respectful of each other and welcoming. Its also great that I can keep my bike within the building on the days I ride in. All the facilities are well maintained and clean which was really important for me. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who wants a relaxed place to work.

Had lunch, great quality tea (they even give you more hot water without a blink), Hummus Falafel Wrap, very tasty and wait for it one of the best Super Dark Choc Brownies YUm. Great selection of beers and cocktails if ya fancy. Great value for the quality. Keep it up as coming back 😊x

Love it here. I've been a co-working member since December last year, and a long time visitor for coffee in Matthews Yard's various locations and iterations over the years. It's one of a few diamond spots in Croydon - run by genuine and nice people, used by friendly interesting folk, providing an affordable and welcoming space to work from, or meet friends, or get a quiet coffee. FYI, it's best to check socials/ drop them a message to see when the venue is open to the public.

Was recommended this cafe by my local FB page, and I can say, this cafe did not disappoint. Breakfast was spot on. Eggs were perfect, proper mushrooms and bacon. Everything on the plate was delicious. Prices were very reasonable. Very clean, great ambiance and friendly staff. Will definitely be back.

Bright friendly stop for English Breakfast! First time trying English Breakfast in London, was a pleasure trying it here. Felt like a neighborhood spot, workers popping in, friendly chatter, and staff seemed to know a lot of people coming in through the door. A nice place to feel the atmosphere of the neighborhood while enjoying a hearty filling breakfast with tea. The beans were awesome! Thanks for the wonderful experience!

We ordered Uber eats today from this place for the first time, and we were really impressed with the food quality and the size of the proportions. Together with the 2 English breakfasts we ordered 2 bacon baguettes, and because they didn't have baguettes bread, they sent it over 2 bacon buns for each one of us, which was very thoughtful and kind of them. Thank you!

Beautiful hidden gem if you hadn’t heard of the cafe, it is one of this that isn’t stood out very well but my aunt brought me here today. I ordered one of the specials and my compliments to the chef as was beautifully balanced on spices and portion was bigger than expected. Enjoyed very much. When I asked if had cream - I thought pouring cream so ordered a coffee with cream, had an americano with squirty cream but did work just as well. Staff were fantastically friendly and I recommend visiting here.

This really is the best experience in Croydon for lunch or just a coffee anytime. The food is exceptional and the cakes delicious. Above all the staff are very helpful and friendly. The Manager is always on hand to assist with any problems and sorts it out immediately. The food arrives very promptly at the table so there is very little waiting. The restaurant is in a historic and beautiful building where natural light floods in through the glass ceiling which was first used for the central station built on that site in the 19th century. Overall a very lovely, enjoyable and restful experience, whether with friends or alone, with art covering the walls from local artists.

I love coming here. I order an egg, bacon and sausage roll with ketchup every time I come. The roll is always soft and the filling is cooked to perfection. Best cafe in Croydon. The chef is an absolute joy. Good food and great people - what more could you ask for? If I could give 1 million stars out of 10, I would.

Actually went out of my way to provide this review as it’s well deserved. There’s a good reason this Croydon Cafe maintains a 5 Star rating. This I a great cafe for everyone including families. Food it of excellent quality and prepared with care. Most cafes now days are not friendly or consistent in quality or staff. Highly recommended by my sons and myself.

This is my favourite local coffee shop. All the staff are so friendly and their cakes are always a hit. The filter is always banging and the staff are always so knowledgeable in helping me choose which retail beans I need for home. I recently tried the sunny nuts from a local guest roasterer 80 stone which was super tasty. Always support local!

lovely staff and good amount of seating area. i had the cinnamon roll more than once it was very nice! not everyone can perfect the roll but it suited my preference for it well. there’s an upstairs with a lighter environment great for doing work and a downstairs area which is a bit moodier but a nice place to read books just depending on your preference.

I like it here! It’s the only place in South Croydon that reminds me of East London, where I moved here from. Admittedly I came here more regularly before I moved to the area. Back when I was doing weekly flat viewings I would be sure to pop in for a coffee every single visit whereas now I live here I tend to sort my own coffee/snacks at home. That said, I do still like to pop here from time to time as a little treat. However please note that many reviews mention the cost of the food vs value for money and unfortunately, I have to agree. It’s my one downside of Bobs. The prices are a little high for what you get. For instance, my pics are of the Bobs Breakfast Bun I got the other day - Scrambled eggs, Monterey Jack cheese, caramelised onions and Chipotle mayo. It cost £8.75. Nearly £9 for hardly much of anything! Granted, it was tasty. The brioche bun in particular was very nice. But it was quite small and not much of the fillings either. Disappointing for £9. Three more £’s and I could get a very generous portion of chicken Pho or a noodle stir fry up the road! So overall, a nice place, lovely staff, good coffee & menu choices BUT unfortunately not always value for money when it comes to the food.

Lovely little cafe. Met a friend for a coffee, and to my surprise the place was nearly full of customers. The lady at the counter is really nice and friendly. The service was great and it feels very cosy inside. The Deco is modern but tasteful. Lots of nice paintings all over, but not too many. They have an outdoor area at the back which is nice and quiet. I didn't eat anything, but the menu on the board sounded delicious. I will try it and give you an update on this. The prices seem to be reasonable, and if you fancy a little walk after lunch there is a lovely park and a pond just surrounding the cafe. Definitely worth a visit if you are around!

Jan 2024 visit 🥓🍳 👩 Tables looked to be sanded down. Much better now. The host is buzzing around on Sunday morning to get everything moving as it got super busy by 10 AM. Good food. Great location and outdoor. Indoor walls are decorated with arts from public who want to sell them. The tables (no.6) were sticky and reflects what other reviews state. I had a full breakfast and for the price paid would expect a big one. A little pricier menu. Good vegetarian options. The staff looked after us well.
