“An absolute treasure…ideal place to spend time away from the desk in a great little sunspot in comfort with a coffee. Breakfast and lunch equally tasty, you can’t beat a cheeky little bacon and egg roll!”

Wonderful spot, great locally sourced freshly roasted coffee. Owner was a lovely chap. We opted for 2x Chorizo melts and a Tuna melt, both fantastic and would recommend. Seating including umbrellas due to slight drizzle. We’ll be back.

Found this place on my way from B&Q. Great coffee, delicious tuna melt and friendly service from the owner Tom. Also could catch up on my e-mails and charge my phone as there are sockets by the bar

Real gem find! I enjoyed a tasty cheese & tomato sandwich and oat latte. Great meeting you, Tom. I’ll see you next time I’m in the area!

Stopped by for a coffee and hot choc today after reading all the great reviews. Tom was super lovely and friendly, still staying cheery on a very wet dreary day! Can see why his customers come back to him as a regular spot. Coffee was great too, would definitely recommend.

“I had an amazing experience at Laz Cafe! We had come for a spa break on the way to claygate and came across this amazing cafe on the way! The pancakes with strawberries and blueberries were some of the best I've ever had—so fluffy and delicious. Everything felt homemade, and the carrot cake was definitely the best in town; the flavors were incredible and tasted super fresh. The owner mentioned she uses cinnamon from back home, and you can really taste the difference! I also loved the falafel, halloumi, spinach, and sweet chili wrap—it was fantastic! The staff and owner were super friendly, creating a great atmosphere. There was a lovely selection of pastries and bakery goodies! I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly Recommended⭐️😍”

“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.”

“We spent a few wonderful hours exploring this breathtaking spot. The paths are incredibly accessible, making it easy for everyone to enjoy, and each marked viewpoint offers a unique and memorable perspective. The grotto, in particular, has a magical atmosphere that really stands out. Surprisingly, the food here was excellent much better than what you’d usually expect at popular tourist landmarks. Every staff member we encountered was polite and welcoming, with even the youngest team members working hard and adding to the pleasant experience, especially impressive given the busy half-term crowds. I definitely plan to return during the summer and will aim to arrive earlier to make the most of it. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable day out. For those traveling from London, the Southern Line train will take you to Weybridge Station. From there, it’s just a quick walk to Stop D, where you can catch the C1 bus, which will drop you off near the entrance (mention your stop to the driver for added ease). Booking online can also save you a bit on admission.”

“Hidden in Great Bookham is a charming, warm and quality focused Tea/ Coffee / brunch / lunch / cake … place, that has got the balance perfect. Service, quality , Ambiance and price meet in, what I can only call: perfection. We had brunch, lunch and afternoon tea here and have never been disappointed. The little garden behind the building is a tiny oasis if you want to sit outside.”

“A very quiet little cafe with simple but tasty food. They are very good at making tasty British bagels and the desserts are quality homemade cakes. Toilets were quite cramped and basic but the whole building was only small so about what I should expect.”

“Fantastic place for cyclists to stop for a cup of coffee and a snack, or a full on brunch. Plenty of seats outside and 2 floors inside. There is a place to park bikes outside, too! Plenty of room all in all and no need to book in advance. Wide selection of cakes, pastries, scones and sandwiches, salads, what have you. Absolutely everything was delicious, and I loved your porridge. Thanks a lot, will definitely be back!”
