The Best Cafes in Esher, Surrey, United Kingdom (2025)

Superb local brunch/coffee spot in Claygate - the staff/owner was incredibly friendly and helpful and the food was superb, very much recommended

The best coffee in the village ,plus the turkish treats are freshly made in house .get takeaways too of treats for family members as they love it so much

Wonderful cafe! Colourful and comfortable. Friendly service, always go the extra mile even busy. Wonderful coffee and the sandwiches and cakes are always so fresh, well presented and delicious. Dogs welcome too. Thank you.

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⭐️😍

Had breakfast here a very popular place but timed it well only had to wait 5 minutes for a table, very friendly staff, lovely food would recommend and will return not badly price

I come here every once in a while with friends or family and it is the best brunch place / cafe in the area! The Shakshuka and Cilbir (turkish eggs) are my favourite and the eggs are always perfectly poached. I love that they have so many healthy, fresh and homemade options ☺️

Flat white is gorgeous!! really taste the coffee. Mediterranean breakfast is filling and nice. Diff from my usual full English breakfast. Fresh ingredients and presentation was spot on. The pancakes were fluffy, but rather stingy on the toppings. 7x blueberries, half a strawberry, tiny bit of syrup, half a banana to go with 4 pancakes is not enough. Need more fruits if you're paying £8.50.

Went to Surbeanton for brunch with my family and we had a great time. Everyone loved their food, I had the Survegan Breakfast & a Matcha Latte and both were incredible. Marie was super friendly and very accommodating with helping my mum find something gluten free. Will be back!

Phenomenal food, the chilli chicken wrap is so incredible that I've come back twice this week because it's just that good!! Prices are very reasonable, and the owner is lovely. Would recommend!!

Love this place! Only thing letting it down is its closed on Sunday. All I need on a hangover is their fresh juice 😭

Great food , excellent quality best tasting breakfast I had cooked to perfection

This is a lovely local cafe! The food is absolutely delicious. Had the spicy scrambled eggs :-) will definitely be coming back!!!

Omg! This place is awesome. I have been driving past for years and noticed the abnormally large number of clients for a corner cafe -so eventually i stopped by for coffee and a snack. I purchased an americano and a homemade scotch egg (£1.80) -both were delicious. Now i stop everytime im passing if im ready for my next top up. Keep up the great work.

Google seems to have go the wrong location for Pires. It's on the corner of Douglas and farm road and open on Saturdays! Delicious choice of sandwiches and hot food available. I especially enjoy the pork chiabatta. Yum.

Very good food - amazing place for breakfast and dinner

We came here for lunch after a walk around Horsell common. My parents have been here multiple times, but this was my first visit and I will definitely be returning. I have coeliac disease, but they advised that the allergens could be found online and that they had gluten free bread and buns to substitute. They also confirmed the chips are fried separate so are safe to eat. Food was delicious and reasonably priced, plenty of choice. They also have a dog menu, which is a nice touch.

Brilliant place. Well set out. Very dog friendly. Great staff, great food. It has everything you need even a dog washing station and ice-cream. My dog had a venison chew supplied by them. Ate it so fast only managed to get her picking her lips at the end.

Great place to go for breakfast, then followed by a nice walk along the amazing wetlands! Parking is great and free. There is loads of room outside including awesome outdoor pods which we used last time. The food is really nice and priced fairly. My personal tip is to arrive just after it opens, or around 9:30 - it’s not very busy then, and has a brilliant atmosphere. The staff are extremely friendly too.

Great atmosphere and food. Good portions and reasonable price. However waitering service could be improved. Used cutlery and plates from previous customers were not cleared before we sat down in the cabin. We had to ask for someone to clear it when we were served our food despite waiters being available to clear it. Cutlery was not provided with the food, so I had to get it myself. The station nearest to us was not kept full, I had to ask for the manager for cutlery and to top it up. Tip for improvement: Waiters to clear tables more efficiently by prioritising tables people are sat at before clearing empty tables.

I have had many a coffee & cake & a few lunches at the P & A & have never been let down. Always good service, good food & drinks & today they included Bowie in their playlist, so have gone even further up in my estimations!!

What a GEM! I've travelled to London for a short conference and was brought to this lovely Cafe. The staff was friendly and so welcoming. They recommended the scotch egg and chicken& ham Cornish pasty. Yum! I had a mocha while my friend (local) had an Americano. I reckon I would be a regular if I lived here. 5 stars 👋🏻 Totally recommend if you are passing through and need a break.

What a great place!! Lovely staff, good quality food (Cornish Pasty and the Apple Crumble cake) YUM! And the Coffee was excellent! Travelling from London every week so the wife can ride, It will be my “go-to place” from now on! Thank you P & A!

Alan provided the most amazing canapés for my Christmas drinks’ party… crostinis were beautifully presented and so tasty. I received so many compliments from my guests. Alan even hand delivered to my house. Thank you! I wholeheartedly recommend

Excellent little coffee van. Delicious croissant and pain au chocolat - much better than expected. 3 X coffees and 2 pastries for £13 seemed reasonable, especially with such high quality. Cute little covered seating area available too.

Can be very busy with cyclists on weekend mornings but good coffee and cakes. Nice seating areas inside and plenty of seating outside. Updated: really tight on the slice of cake. Regret giving them a tip!

Absolutely superb café and bar. Perfect stop for cyclist going into the Surrey Hills or a post ride stop but so much more as well. A buzzing, community minded place, with great food and excellent coffee. Also try out the pizzas on the weekend evenings. Love this place!!!!

This is a cycling cafe that is legendary among cycling enthusiasts. The coffee and food is on point. I recommend a flat white with a bowl of oatmeal.

Coco Cafe at Claygate station - Great coffee and outstanding service from Sean & Shadi!! You are always welcomed with a smile and treated like a friend. A fantastic local coffee shop that does the best coffee in the area. If you like home made soups and Persian food, then you must come here.

Popped in here yesterday for a quick bite to eat and noticed at the bottom of the menu, "ask about our Persian dishes", so I did. Only one choice was available by then, so I tried it. A very good decision. Dried barberries with chicken and rice. VERY NICE! The welcome here was very friendly and pleasant. I would certainly return if I was in the area again, although it should be noted that while there is some outside seating, the seating inside if VERY limited (3 stools and a shelf). I was perfectly happy with this, but be aware that if there's a group of you and it's raining you would have a problem! Thank you Coco Cafe for a great welcome and a great meal.

Ok, so I know we might be a bit biased, but honestly it wouldn't make any difference even if we didn't supply them their coffee. You see, Sean and Shadi who own Coco Cafe really are the best when it comes to hospitality and running a coffee bar. They really care about their customers and treat you like one of the family. They'll get to know how you like your coffee when you become a regular customer and you'll not even need to ask…it will be ready for you just in time for you to catch your train! They offer a choice of organic, rainforest alliance and regular types of coffee….all freshly made for you and there's some great food on offer if you're needing something more. You won't go wrong with this great husband and wife run cafe!

Excellent coffee, served with a smile, from husband & wife team, Sean & Shadi. Wonderful food, especially their Persian dishes and soup to die for!
