**Junction 8 Café Review** Nestled just off the M25, Junction 8 Café is a hidden gem that offers much more than just a quick stop for refreshments. The café boasts stunning views over beautifully maintained lawned areas, offering a perfect backdrop for a relaxing break. What sets Junction 8 apart is the staff, their thoughtful touch of providing deck chairs, allowing you to fully enjoy the serene surroundings. It's a simple yet delightful way to unwind, especially after a long journey or a hike along the North Downs Way. One of the highlights of this charming spot is their remarkably affordable tea—easily the cheapest I’ve found in London or anywhere along the North Downs Way. Despite the low price, the quality is top-notch, making it an unbeatable deal. Whether you're a traveler in need of a peaceful break or a local looking for a picturesque spot to enjoy a cup of tea, Junction 8 Café is the perfect destination. With excellent service, stunning views, and unbeatable prices, it’s a must-visit for anyone passing through or exploring the area.

I'm sorry I have only given 4 stars for atmosphere but it was drizzling, grey and misty when we visited. However we were very impressed and look forward to returning again soon. A perfect place to start and finish exploring Reigate Hill. The hot chocolate and food were recommended and that's why we visited. Can't wait to work my way through the menu as there is an excellent selection. See you soon on a sunny day next time.

I love this place. The staff are so friendly. They’ve got my regular order without me having to ask now. Fantastic views. Wonderful place to stop for a walk or just hot drink. The coffee here is literally the best I’ve ever tasted.

Far above average café, with an incredible view and surrounding area. Access on foot requires a bit of hiking, but it’s well worth the view, being right next to Reigate Fort, the B-17G crash memorial, the sun dial, and the Royal Alexandra Albert school ponds. The selection of food is wide, though the same cannot be said for the vegan options, the selection remains sufficient. It is great to remember that not all vegan options are shown on the menu, such as the vegan sausage roll, which I recommend after the inevitable hike!

I’ve been coming here for years. The view is incredible. On a clear day you can see the sea. The food’s very good and the service and friendliness is even better! You’re on the North Down Way here. This is dog walking country to be sure. There are multiple walks from level to quite hilly. If you cross over the motorway to Margery Woods, which is lovely, you can connect to what feels like a typical Scottish golf course, Walton Heath. Lots of gorse and heather. Or Banstead Heath. All very pretty, especially in spring. Lots of pasture and horses abound. I did the millennium circuit today. 2.24 miles. I’ve been doing these walks for 30 years now and I never grow tired of it❣️
