Lovely small cafe, quite busy often find there's not enough seating to the amount of customers. However the food standards are brilliant 👏 the staff are welcoming and friendly. Recommended for a nice cuppa and breakfast if you get a chance.

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.

Fantastic local, family owned coffee shop. As a self confessed coffee snob, this is by-far my favourite coffee shop. The staff are excellent, always friendly and take care and attention when creating their masterpieces. The coffee is amazing- I drink cortado’s and whenever I order one elsewhere, I’m so disappointed! The sweet treats are wonderful. They have a selection of classics (brownies, tiffins, granola slices, pastries ect) but also have incredible fancier options to indulge in (opera cakes, cheesecakes, Mille-feuille, macarons ect). The prices are so reasonable, especially for the quality served. I always recommend this place to my clients. The only danger of this place is that I work on the high street and can’t help but visit once a day 🙃

The coffee was excellent and I enjoyed sitting outside watching the world go by. All of the staff were very friendly. If you love coffee then I highly recommend. They also had a good looking selection of treats too.

This is just a refreshing break of the hustle and bustle of the High Street, it feels like an oasis of calm, and a friendly space where you can enjoy a cup or two by yourself or with friends. I really enjoyed having a cuppa here

We were greeted at the door with a friendly smile and shown to a clean and well-presented table. The menu offered a good variety of food, and the dishes were beautifully cooked with generous portion sizes. The staff were friendly, helpful, and engaging, and we want to give them a special thank you. We will definitely return when we visit Dorking again.

Delicious Lunch at Arto, Dorking I recently had the pleasure of dining at Arto in Dorking for lunch, and I was thoroughly impressed. I opted for the duck breast, which was cooked to perfection — tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The dish was complemented by perfectly cooked broccoli, adding a lovely crunch and freshness. The dauphinoise potatoes were absolutely divine — rich, creamy, and indulgent without being too heavy. The balance of flavors and textures was spot-on, and the presentation was beautifully done. The service was friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Arto for anyone looking for a quality meal in a charming setting!

Absolutely superb. It was difficult to choose something from the diverse menu. I eventually chose the ravioli and it was nicely presented and absolutely delicious. It is extremely rare that I finish a meal, but I did this time, and it was wonderful. The levels of customer service were top-notch. The members of staff were lovely, exceptionally welcoming, attentive and knew the menu. They were able to answer questions adeptly. The male member of staff who served me was really nice, friendly and had a good sense of humour. The restaurant was very clean and I liked the way in which it was decorated. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I would recommend this place 100%. ***We attended this restaurant again, namely in March 2022. The members of staff were exceptionally welcoming. again, I was impressed by the diversity of the menu and the excellent range of vegeterian and non-vegetarian options. Throughout our time at the restaurant, the members of staff were constantly cleaning and taking an interest. The table settings were really nice and there is clear evidence of effort being placed in the decor.***

What a beautiful place! My husband and I popped in for breakfast, and every part of our meal was fantastic. The ingredients are really topped quality, and cooked with such attention to detail. Service was fabulous.

Favourite place to eat by a mile! I frequently visit and they are always consistent. Exceptional quality, exceptional staff, (they pick their staff carefully and it shows) imaginative seasonal menu, fair pricing (cheapest place for takeaway coffee), and a warm, friendly laidback atmosphere with great decor. Always top of my list to recommend ✨

I had the best brunch dish I’ve ever had here on Saturday. The duck and waffle is a must try on the menu! It was so delicious, I even enjoyed the kale and I normally hate kale! The service was excellent as always, flat whites were so good my friend and I ordered a second one each and just a lovely atmosphere in there. Great brunch spot with parking round the back!

One of my absolute favourite places, and can't believe I haven't written a review before! Fabulous food, both brunch and pizza. We always feel very welcomed and whenever the menu changes it's super exciting to find out what absolute genius meals they've come up with again! (Although I do miss the Mexican eggs, so crossing my fingers they'll be back this summer!) If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!

As soon as we got to the door, the lovely staff opened the door for us and showed us to our table. Very friendly and smiley. It was a lovely welcome! We ordered food and drinks, both came promptly. The mezze platter was amazing! Such lovely flavoursome bits to share. The chicken shish was divine! Full of flavour, juicy and the rice was so good. My friend loved the mixed grill. We asked for the bill and a plate of baklava and tea appeared. The baklava was soooo good! Not too sweet. The tea was a lovely way to end the meal. Highly recommend Turkuaz. Lovely staff, great food!

Where to start! Absolute gem of a find in Dorking. The food is a 10/10, we eat at a lot of Turkish places, this new find tops them all. Very exciting for us 😅 Staff could not be more friendly and helpful. Music is lovely, sets a laid back mood. Even served Turkish baklavas and authentic Turkish tea to finish. Just wonderful…see you next week!!

Popped in for a coffee. The cappuccino and the frappe were both lovely. Waitress took her time with us and gave advice as to what she'd pick. She was right. Friendly staff. Halloween look inside with a Christmassy smell was perfect to have a relaxing moment.

Proper breakfasts, great portion sizes and good prices! The staff are very friendly, welcoming and helpful, they let me choose just the bits of breakfast I liked which was really appreciated. Delicious breakfast, really well cooked and high quality ingredients, and the coffee was absolutely fantastic as well. This is the only place I’d come for breakfast in Dorking now! Thoroughly unpretentious and delicious.

First time to this cafè as I was in there area. Very nice cafè with good social distance measures in place. I ordered ham, egg & chips and was nicely surprised to see I got proper ham (thick ham) not the thin ham from the packs. Prices are fair and food is a good standard. Staff are friendly. If your in the area you should pop in.

This is a wonderful little farm shop that has some fantastic food and friendly service. The shop is lovely. Seems to be all home made food very nicely presented. Service is friendly and efficient. The seating area is quite large with some big tables. Outside area is also available. Would really recommend a visit.

I have driven past this place many times and had always promised myself one of their full English breakfasts. It was around 930am on a Wednesday morning on a glorious sunny day when I went past the entrance and decided that today was the day I'd fulfil my self promise. Drove up the drive and turned into a reasonably sized grass covered car park. Parked up and made my way into the Farm shop and ordered a full English and a cuppa. Came to £10.90. Went outside as it was such a nice day and found an empty wooden table with bench seats available, sat down and enjoyed the sunshine and watched children playing on the fort and rocking platform whilst waiting for my breakfast. It wasn't long in coming. A nice full English two eggs, two rashes of bacon, a couple of hash browns, a couple of sausage patties, half a tomato, mushrooms and a couple of slices of toast and butter plus a cup of breakfast tea - should have taken a photo of it but was more focused on eating. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted great. As I ate a succession of cars appeared and the car park and tables filled with families, Many with young children. Seems I had timed my visit to perfection. I shall certainly be returning.

The most beautiful coffee shop, in an idyllic setting. The food is diverse and caters for everyone. The staff are super helpful and it is dog friendly. They also have two beautiful donkeys in the paddocks. You can also buy local produce and homemade items. Why go to Costa when you can go somewhere like here.

Most Waitrose are much and much the same, but not Dorking branch. The store itself has great history, the staff are just that bit friendlier than other branches. It could lose a star on the speed of the clientele, but that's hardly Waitrose fault!!!

Although chilled, frozen products, flowers, fresh fruit and veg were limited due to the heat Armageddon I still managed to find everything I needed. As usual the store was cool and I pleasantly wasted an hour hiding from my dogs trying to guilt trip me because I didn't give them an afternoon walk. Of course that meant I spent much more than I intended😁😁😁

This has to be one of the nicest places to shop. The gentleman who manages the queue and the door is brilliant! So kind,friendly and helpful, making sure no elderly or frail have to queue longer than strictly necessary. The staff inside are great too and the selection of goods is of the usual Waitrose high quality. Even the view as you queue to pay, of the Surrey Downs makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Well done Waitrose Dorking!

Only really go for the under-5s soft play. The coffee has always been good, and the children's food is great. The soft play is decent for the size of the place and is a nice bonus. Could probably be a bit cleaner, but the children certainly don't care.

Amazing. I took my daughter here last Sunday for breakfast. The place was really busy but they found us a table and the lady that looked after us was really friendly and welcoming. My daughter had the all day breakfast and it was an amazing generously portioned amount of food. I had the bacon sandwich which was one of the best I've had. Can't rate the staff, restaurant and the food highly enough. We will certainly go back again. Thank you
