Redmoon Cafe

Very warm and welcoming customer service. We had the American Breakfast and Redmoon Toast which was very tasty and cooked fresh in the open kitchen. Coffee was also very well made to the standard I would expect from a good coffee shop. We were also given some lovely home made Baklava after our breakfast, the portion was massive and very tasty. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality of food. This place deserves to be a lot busier than it was when we visited!

Great place for excellent food, and service. The full English Breakfast is my favourite, whilst my wife has tried the American breakfast and the eggs benedics, and loved them both.

Have popped in for lunch twice now. The food is great and the staff are really friendly and seem to take pride in what they do. The Turkish bread was a real highlight. Will return again

Good food, great staff and a very nice cafe. Would highly recommend it if you are looking for a good food and great value for money. The staff are very friendly. I had a smash burger with chips and a drink all for £9.99!

Popped in for a light brunch and we was served with the most delicious mashed avocado, poached eggs on lovely toast and a side salad. My taste buds had the best party in my mouth. Our son had chicken nuggets and chips and he was absolutely delighted with them. Highly recommend. The food is the best I’ve tasted!!!

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.

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.

Lovely range of food, best coffee in town. Food served quickly by polite and friendly staff. The cafe is clean and bright and has a toilet. Best cafe in Dorking!

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.

What a great find!! Lovely outdoor area undercover and uncovered to enjoy the sun. It's a great business model with a coffee shop and bike shop in one. They had lovely cake on offer and a great range of coffee's too as well as sandwiches etc etc. There's also a lovely touch of bike locks for customers to use whilst in the shop. Well worth a visit if you're in and around Dorking in the Box Hill/Ranmore Common Area👍👌

A lovely cafe our club has visited several times during Sunday rides. Excellent coffee, food and service and very pleasant outdoor seating area. Special mention to Darren in the workshop, who repaired my front derailleur after it flipped out of alignment whilst descending Coldharbour Lane, leaving my chain stuck on the lower ring. Very lucky that the cafe was our designated lunch stop and we were close to it when it happened. Darren was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and had it fixed as good as new in no time. I was extremely grateful, as the ride home with no upper gear range would not have been fun. Highly recommended. Great lunch and excellent workshop service.

Popped in to ask advice on newly purchased cycling shoes. The gentleman in the service centre could not have been more helpful and happily attached the cleats. Highly recommend

It's a bike shop and cafe for all things bikes, a good destination for cyclists and a great little cafe, lovely flat breads and The New York Bagel is an absolute delight, great coffee and a good selection of cakes, sit inside or in their cosy outside sitting area. It's a hidden little gem.

I had the pleasure to deal with the team this Saturday 7th September after my rear hub kept trying to kill me, after having a lovely coffee and Victoria sponge I asked for some advice about what might be the cause and without hesitation they offered to bring it in and have a look, after striping the freehiub and removing the spacer and excessive grease I was back on myway and happy to say with a bike no longer trying to kill me all for the pricely sum of a coffee. To me this is everything a LBS should be my first time visiting but certainly not my last thanks team. Henry

Incredible cakes, sweet and savoury tarts, soups and even home-made ice cream. Great coffee two. A fire and blankets on cold days and covered benches on rainy ones. Garden games, reading material and crafts often on-hand. A really beautiful spot and always a friendly welcome from the lovely owners and their gorgeous dog. The walking around here is brilliant, it’s a fun steep path up to Wolvens Lane with great views (and on to Leith Hill and/or Coldharbour from there if you have time). Or there are flatter walks to Dorking and Westcott. Strongly recommend for light lunch or coffee and cake with friends or family :)

What a hidden 💎 very unique idea and that’s why I love it, it differs from all the standard cafes in the area. It’s definitely the cutest little countryside cafe that I’d recommend to everyone!! The attention to detail can be seen everywhere, you can see a lot of care and thought has gone into this. The cakes are delicious and homemade ice-cream (!!??) was a great hit. The lady who lives there also makes all the food herself which is very impressive. Coffee also came with latte art which is always a plus. Will definitely be back!

A charming and delightful hidden little coffee oasis tucked away off the beaten track. No parking available, you can only get here by walking, huddle around the open pit fire place and enjoy a delicious cake and coffee. Open 10:00 to 15:00 on Saturday and Sunday only

I’m so pleased we took a spontaneous trip out to visit brewbird! The most gorgeous, secluded, peaceful coffee spot. The coffee was delicious and my toddlers ADORED their hot chocolate with marshmallows! So many lovely touches, such as bringing over beautiful wooden hearts for the children to colour and hang In the archway to keep them busy. How lovely to see so many walkers, families and doggies coming and going. There was such a lovely buzz. We will CERTAINLY be back! ❤️

If you’re in the Surrey Hills, BrewBird is an absolute must-visit! Susie, the owner, infuses this charming coffee van with her passion and warmth, creating a delightful hidden gem for all who wander by. Her homemade sweet treats (often using foraged local fruits) and savory lunch options are simply delicious. On a sunnier day I will try the homemade ice cream. The little touches—beautiful flower gardens, a cozy hanging love seat, lamb’s wool rugs on the benches, and fresh-cut flower posies on each table—make it an inviting and memorable stop. Plus, the yummy treats for furry friends are a wonderful bonus. BrewBird is a true testament to the joy of local, homemade goodness. Don’t miss out… we’ll certainly be back for a visit whilst out on a stomp in the woods again soon!

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.

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’ve lived in Dorking for just over a year and walked past this little cafe every single day, always looked in but sometimes it’s just a bit busy for me as I start work early, made me even more curious! Definitely waited too long to try it out!! I love their coffee! Not sure but I think it might be Lavazza!? This place is great! I can taste the freshness of the food every time, I just bought an Italian Herb Chicken baguette but I’ll have to save half for a bit later eheh.. I saw in a previous review that they are a bit pricey, I don’t think so at all, the food is delicious and whenever I go there I don’t even look at the price because I know what I’m getting is so worth it!! :D

Gorgeous restaurant, much bigger than you expect! As a non-drinker I HIGHLY recommend the peach juice - that was a total delight! The food was great, service was quick, tasty, healthy, fresh. I had the seabream for main which was beautiful and the Tirimisu was gorgeous. My friend had pistachio ice cream which was also delicious! Highly recommend for a special meal or occasion.

I've visited for lunch and dinner on a number of occasions now, and always the food and service are just excellent. The staff are warm and attentive, without being over friendly. But when you open up a conversion yourself, they are more than happy to engage with you for a chat. The food is without fail both delicious and beautifully presented. Great wine choices too. It's a restaurant that seems to like to play down its presence in the town - there's no shouting about special offers on social media. And they've never asked us to do a review (which is partly why I'm doing one!) But the truth is that it's my absolute favourite restaurant in Dorking or anywhere nearby.

Decided to stop off for breakfast (early lunch!). I had a bacon & sausage bap ... sausage was lovely! My other half had the full English and didn't speak until he'd finished! Both had tea but lovely milkshakes (with cream) were available. Staff were very welcoming, polite & nothing was any trouble. Definitely will go back ⭐️

A specialty cafe with a healthy menu, calming décor, wood tables, local merchandise, smiles of the servers. My sausage sarnie came with red onions in it of which its sweetness went well with the pork, the sourdough freshly moist, the meat freshly juicy. My wife's avocado on toast was wholesome but the avocado was cut in halves though garnished with red pepper. I would prefer it being smashed and seasoned.
