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

all of the staff here are so lovely and helpful! today i was served by Karen and couldn’t recommend more! she was willing to go above and beyond and is so kind. really made my day coming here for some lunch! delicious food and exceptional service

So happy I’ve found the Cosy Coffee House! This is proper barista coffee in sweet crockery and I love it. Possibly the best cafe in Woking and Guildford… Lovely (super friendly staff) relaxing cafe with proper squidgy sofas too. Cakes looked good but didn’t try. I’ll be back as soon as I can for brownie sampling!

What a lovely cafe and it helps the community! So glad we found the cosy cafe. Tucked away at the top of the lighthouse building it is well worth finding! We followed the signs and found such a cosy welcoming place, great for a bite to eat and the loose leaf tea was amazing! Will definitely be back

Best coffee in Woking, period. Friendly and polite volunteers run cafe for your local charity and provide exceptional service. Highly recommend paying a visit. Better still, be a regular and try the food and drinks on offer. Don’t be put off by the thought of going up the stairs, it’s good exercise! Avoid all global chains that don’t pay a penny in taxes!

As a caffeine queen who has been to a bazillion coffee shops and roasters, there is still yet any to come that top copper coffee! It is my absolute favourite, and the range of beans are excellent for anyone who has a coffee machine at home 😎 Great little sweet treats too, and nice seating area if you’re staying in to chat :) Dog friendly too!

Been buying beans for espresso here regularly for some months now and feel very grateful to have this roaster just a short drive from my home! Fantastic care for the quality of their beans and roasting process. They're always friendly when I go in and are more than happy to make up a custom (always recently roasted) batch of whatever blend it is I'm looking for if they don't already have it on their shelves. Nice little selection of coffee gear in stock there too which is a nice bonus.

Great little cafe. I usually order my brand online but was paying this time. Fantastic cafe. Last time I was there the server knew a lot about coffee but not the case any more. When I asked for some Columbia Excelso coffee beans (by far their most popular bean) I was told their were none in stock but she was unable to suggest an alternative. Still, great place

Lovely place that has a lot of character even if smooth radio was playing haha. The drip pour over coffee had amazing taste highly recommended.

We went into the cafe with our two young children and the staff couldn’t do enough to make us all feel welcome. We all had brunch which was delicious and large portion sizes. Couldn’t recommend enough.

First visit, very good. We had brunch and options were not run of the mill, it was great to have something different. Sicilia sausages are excellent. Good selection of pastries and they are big!

Staff were really friendly, polite and helpful. One kind lady who works there brought me over a high chair for my niece. The food was lovely, I had the breakfast, my niece had butterfly chicken and chips. Both were lovely! She also had a Babychino which was well made, not too hot and was demolished in minutes. I had a latte which again tasted great! Really impressed with this little cafe. They even have a selection of Sicilian baked treats at the counter. Will definitely be visiting again. ☺️

If you are looking for a quaint but amazing coffee stop then look no further. This little Italian coffee shop is where you need to be. The staff are amazing friendly and helpful. The coffee is smooth and flavourful. And as for the cake, will, sxxt they're awesome. I had a banana and chocolate loaf cake. It was the full of flavour and moist beyond belief. There were so many cakes on offer that I will have to come and try another. The first bite had so many different flavours coming at you that you don't know what's first. There is ample outside seating to have a catch up with some comfortable seating inside. With a range of lunch options to be had this will definitely be a welcome stop when in the area.

Lovely service, delicious lasagna, wonderful carrot cake with pistachio topping… I loved to find out this place… 🥰😋

Great for quick hot drink or smoothie/milkshake or a light meal - wide range of Italian dishes freshly cooked on the premises; have to be quick for the breakfast range! Good portions and full of flavour. Would definitely return.

My favourite cafe in the local area. They have a wonderful selection of savoury and sweet treats. I often get food to takeaway to reheat for dinner too. The staff are always friendly and nothing is too much trouble!

A lovely local coffee shop in the heart of Horsell village. The place is spacious, clean and has a variety of products: coffee, teas, cakes, breakfast, sandwiches, smoothies, toast, etc. The staff are friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. They are dog friendly as well so if you’re walking the dog and you need to stop for a hot beverage this is the place to go. Great atmosphere, great food and great staff - it’s just a winner! ☕️🫖🥪🥙🧁🥮🍰

Amazing brunch - great food and the service was so pleasant and polite. I really enjoyed the loaded hash browns! Definitely recommend The Horsell Kitchen.

Great local cafe serving some tasty and wholesome food. Starting from the hot chocolate to the smashed avo with eggs. And the cakes are amazing as well.

Wow! What a charming place to eat. Beautiful decor , Attentive staff, a mouthwatering menu, food cooked and served with love and care . Special thanks to the chef , the food was excellent, very tasty, great quality ingredients and piping hot. Coffee was wonderful too. I wish I lived in the area as I’d become a regular here . I had the full english ( 2 sausages , 2 bacon, fried egg,, black pudding, 3 hash browns , baked beans grilled tomato plus toast ) but was greedy and had a sausage ( 3 sausages) brioche bap afterwards , I recommend both, my wife had the smaller breakfast which was equally as nice . Great value for money !!!

What an incredible, yet somewhat accidental find! Pinnocks is the most wonderful little cafe in the heart of Ripley. I wanted only to find a quick cup of coffee but what I found was an exquisite beamed ceiling and slate tiled floor, lovely farmhouse tables, a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Beautiful foods, perfect for a light lunch. There’s the gentle hum of conversation, a fresh produce delivery brought through… and what I was offered was not just a cup of coffee…At risk of sounding like a line from Rowan Atkinson in Love Actually…. This is SO much more than a cup of coffee! There are 7 different beans to choose from depending on your ‘roast’ preference. I chose Ethiopian and received a mug… Normally I prefer a cup, (because I’m a fan of delicate drinking!) but this wasn’t a chunky hunk of china. It was plastic and yet it didn’t detract from the coffee taste at all. Absolutely delicious! I cannot think of a better place to escape from the rain and enjoy an hour or so…I might be coming back for tea…

Lovely food and coffee in a beautiful old building. Upstairs there are sofas. Be aware that the staircase is a bit steep and there are low beams. We have been here a few times and I would recommend their pancakes. The atmosphere is great however if you go in the winter, make sure you wrap up warm as it is a very old building and the heating isn’t great. In the summer, they do also have a bit of outdoor space. I would definitely recommend.

A lovely old beamed building, with a good range of breakfast, lunch, tea and snack options.

Super quirky, quintessentially English, engulfing ambience for coffee lovers, like yours truly! Brilliant coffee options, cakes, and menu! Highly recommended 👌

One of my favourite haunts. A friendly local village coffee shop. Coffee with a heart and a smile. A great place for my hound and I to rest our bones after a long walk.

Cozy Café in East Horsley Nestled in East Horsley, Quaich offers more than great coffee—it's a warm retreat where owners greet you with genuine warmth. Enjoy handcrafted brews and tasty treats in an inviting atmosphere. Experience heartfelt hospitality at this hidden gem.

We visited for the second time today and had a lovely sandwich lunch. We couldn’t decide what to have! The next table had full English which I’ll try next time as looked yummy. We were given a taster of todays soup- gazpacho which was delicious too. The staff are very affable and there’s a very friendly atmosphere. There are seats outside too. Dog friendly a bonus for me.

A conflicted 5 stars, as I have no interest in hurting a local places rating when I’ve just moved locally, or hurting places rating that have done me no wrong period, but I offer my feedback none the less. As far as a small village coffee shop goes, it is what I would expect, and Horsley is lucky to have it. There are things are missing that probably get a pass from me because of its demographic and small village nature. I had a flat white, dine in, served in a take away cup. I looked around and saw big mugs mainly. My guess is, being a strongly British area, they are used to big hot mugs, and not coffee served shorter at 65 degrees, I am guessing they probably don’t have dine in flat white cups, which is probably an expense they don’t require really so fair play. Just a guess though! My coffee tasted excellent to be fair, so kudos there! It was however more textured like a cappuccino on the frothy side. The decor inside is lovely and rustic, it really does look warm cozy and comfortable, I would almost think I was in hipster parts of Melbourne. There are dogs everywhere which I love. I’d be curious to know their food hygiene rating after what I saw on trip advisor, that was grim reading. I only hope it’s improved since 2019/20 as I believe anything below 4 stars is farcical, and that all places should legally be required to show their hygiene rating on the window. I read reviews about locals getting the service and outsiders feeling just like that, outsiders. I understand that perspective from what I saw, but it’s probably a tricky one to manage on their end too. There are some hospitality aspects missing to take this place to another level, but that’s also a level they probably don’t really need to strive for. Overall, a small business supported by the locals clearly, and I sensed very good vibes amongst them, if you’re passing by and need a coffee I’d give them your business but I wouldn’t go out of the way to come here if it’s more than 15 minutes out of your way.

Amazing place , amazing staff and I love coming here. Have been there before as well. This time reached after 3 pm so food options were limited . So we tried hot chocolate and scones and loved both. Fruit Scone was really really nice. Next time I will try the cheese scone :)

Lovely location and decor. We had a sandwich and ploughman's, they tasted great and we loved the service.

Stopped here on a charity cycle ride from London to Poole. What an amazing pitstop for 15 minutes. Internally, the cafe is incredibly cosy, with a quintessential English feel to it, in a quiet, bucolic setting. When it comes to cakes, they offer all the classics, and by the taste of the granola bar I ordered, I reckon they have the recipes bang on. I also noticed a wide selection of teas, which I will have to try next time. Definitely worth stopping by if you are in the area and “gasping for that cuppa!”

Super friendly staff with a lovely smile. She made an amazing chocolate for me. The afternoon tea set is absolutely worth to try. The chicken sandwiches are delicious and the cheese scone is tasty. Cozy and clean environment.

Excellent breakfast! Friendly service and atmosphere. Won the “Best Coffee Shop” in Surrey.

This is a fantastic place, so happy we stopped here for lunch. Would love to come back and check it again. Everything looks incredible coming out of the kitchen!

The service and cuisine were exceptional. The restaurant's ambiance was delightful. I highly recommend it. The coffee here is exquisite and smooth. The location is charming.

Visited Fego in Cobham on a Saturday morning around 11am before a visit to nearby Painshill Park. The food was tasty and the french toast with roasted pineapple (pictured) was particularly unique. But the service was quite slow, hence the deduction of a star. We weren't in a rush, but it was around 40+ minutes until we received food and we had to ask 3 times for our bill once done. However - it was a summer weekend morning and the place was busy. So while the waits were perhaps understandable, they didn't make for the smoothest experience.

A beautiful little cafe, serving great food. I had the cajun chicken club sandwich, which was amazing.

This place is an absolute gem, freshly prepared delicious food every time I have visited. You have to try the bailey's cake, it's one of the best cakes I've ever had. When the weather is nice you can sit in the garden area behind the cafe which is lovely.

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.

Great cafe in the village, have been in several times for warming coffees / hot chocolates in the winter and iced coffees in the summer (and always enjoy their fab cakes!)
