The Best Cafes in Peper Harow, Surrey, United Kingdom (2025)

Found this place when dog sitting for a friend in Godalming. The perfect shop does exist. The team that work there are super friendly and make great coffee too. We only popped in to look and left with nice coffee and some tasty snacks. They have a great range including loads of craft beer and indy gins. They do great custom gift hampers and we ordered a vegan one as a gift for a friend (so yes, they have loads of vegan goodies too). If i lived in Godalming, this would be a frequent visit. As i only visit the area occasionally, i know we'll make a trip to... 'that shop with all the real goodness in it'.

Popped in by chance on an exploratory sunday excursion with my mother. Very wide range of local craft goods, great coffee and ridiculously delicious toasties - Could have happily demolished 4 of them.... Picked up some brilliant craft cider , also saw a lot of great cheese , fresh local meats , soft drinks, fancy picnic hamper services etc. Very friendly and helpful lady serving. 100% worth a visit any time you're in Godalming.

Popped in on vague off chance on 23rd Dec 1815 that they will still be open for an emergency Christmas present. Lady was locking up , shop lights off. She was so super helpful, opened the shop especially for me and quickly came up with a fab recommendation for me. A very happy customer. Thankyou

Lovely location. Very unique finds and best place to make hampers. The selection of drinks is incredible and it’s the only place in the area to find biodynamic Vegas and meat. We had a toastie and a beef bagel and I just can say WOW. Absolutely delicious, freshly made per order. We will be back ✨🤍 We bought lunch, 4 drinks and deserts for take away

The best coffee in Godalming, hands down! We recently moved to the area and a visit here helped us choose the area knowing we could come here for an independent coffee! For anyone getting a takeaway coffee from one of the chains, please give The Journalist a go, you won’t regret it!

Superb coffee and a cozy atmosphere! Voted the best in all of Surrey, and I couldn’t agree more. Merve is unbelievably friendly and personable. The baklava was the perfect addition to my cappuccino. Highly recommend this spot—I'll definitely be back!

Great little stop, very close to Surrey Orthodontists which makes it handy for a quick tea or coffee if you’re early for an appointment. Always friendly, quiet. Not an overwhelming environment for those with ASC/SPD.

The best coffee in Godalming :) We stopped here twice, because once wasn’t enough, and got the pumpkin spiced latte both times. While we didn’t get any cakes, it looked incredibly tempting. There is also chess and board games available, which is great for a rainy day. The interior is very welcoming and cosy and it is dog-friendly, with dog biscuits and water.

The place looks good, but it's small, need queuing outside. Ice cream are fair portions and smooth, taste nice but certainly not delightful.

Superb little shop,full of delights. You know when its good as there was a que outside for ice creams.Been here a couple of times now and love the ice creams.....love it🍦

Update (July 2024) We are regulars and are delighted with their new matcha delight. We just got a tub and had it for dessert after dinner. The flavors of Uji Kyoto ended our day marvelously. Thank you, Delights Team! ----------------+- Ewen, Albert and his Godalming Delights team offer real delights to our lives. We have anniversaries in April (2020) and, although the early lockdown was already daunting, their ice-cream delivery services made our days special indeed. We usually tend to buy their ice cream in a big tub in two flavours in layers so we can continue to enjoy them at home. (They do sell their cones and buying in bulk is economical!) They have a good range of vegan selections; and their vegan ginger and orange chocolate slice - OMG a heavenly delight! PS (Summer 2021) We've just had their ice-cream milk shakes (mixture of two types of ice creams of one's choice). It was a delightful different experience recommended for the regulars!

Exceptionally welcoming, helpful and friendly people running this delightful little place! We had the most amazing hot chocolates! I tried the ruby hot chocolate which was so so delicious I wish I lived closer, I’d be there all the time 😆. Both the man and the lady working that day were really sweet and helpful and very knowledgeable too. We’d highly recommend.. they made us feel more than welcome 🤗

I love this cafe. I come here every other week with my best friend. The staff, without exception, are polite, efficient and a pleasure. The food is excellent and theres a good vegetarian breakfast option. The interior decor gives a warm welcoming feel and the atmosphere is great. My go to cafe in the local area 🙂

Absolutely wonderful! If you’re looking for a quintessentially English cafe to enjoy on a sunny (or rainy) day, I can’t recommend this place enough! Food is amazing and reasonably priced, staff friendly, covid secure, and the setting is like something from a fairy tale. The big barn breakfast is enough to satisfy the largest of appetites and the Eggs Benedict came with a lovely dressed salad so we were very happy customers indeed (breakfast was still served at lunchtime which we thought was great!) And as for the cakes... simply divine! Don’t hesitate to give this place a try if you’re in the area- I’m pretty sure you won’t be disappointed. Thank you to all of the team for our wonderful visit today xx

December 2024 What a great little find this cafe was! We were staying nearby and fancied some brunch so I was really happy to find this place. We both had Eggs Royale and it was fabulous. The eggs were fresh local eggs with that wonderful orange yolk as proof. The coffee there is really good also. Service was excellent, the cafe itself is really homely and there is a great selection of homemade cakes on display. I totally recommend this cafe and will come back when I’m next in the area.

The best cafe in the area. Superb food made on the premises. Excellent cakes and gluten free options. Very friendly and welcoming staff.

Visited this cute cafe 3 days ago, drove from Portsmouth to Ramster garden and then drove to this lovely cafe. Loved the ambience, the service was so warm, welcoming and friendly. Absolutely loved the peanut butter banana cake. Waiting to visit/drive to this place again.

Outstanding! Fabulous food, great range, good value, beautifully presented and freshly prepared. Highly recommend the full English (not greasy, just tasty). Always lovely specials on offer and the service is exceptional, super friendly with our (noisy and messy) babies with lots of seating including a sofa corner and lots of covered outside space. I forgot to mention my baby can’t have dairy and they whipped me up a fresh plate of eggs on toast free of charge. Oh and the homemade cakes are out of this world. Well worth a visit!!

This is such a beautiful place to have breakfast. The quality of the food is excellent, freshly prepared, beautifully presented and very tasty! The range of delicious cakes means you will have a hard time choosing just one!:-). Great for a cosy coffee for two or a family brunch on a Sunday. Highly recommend a visit if you are in or near the area.

Great cafe and reasonably priced. Lovely selection of cakes.

Cafe with quite a large garden area (partially covered - they have a heated yurt!) which is well done up and nice to sit in. Good selection of cakes and drinks with table service. A bit pricey though!

First time came and amazing village… we had latte and duck (which is full)breakfast which was very delicious. What amazed me was the breakfast was hot till half way through as I ate slowly… lol. Anyw, that was super tasty for me. The whole experience was lovely and we planned to come back again some time in the near future.

This is my second time in Shere and at The Dabbling Duck. I came last year as well. I travel from New Zealand and love coming to this place with my family here in England. Great food and staff.

Had a lovely breakfast at the dabbling duck. The staff were all very friendly and service and food could not be faulted. There was only one fly in the ointment. We sat inside the cafe as did a lot of dog owners. My friend has allergies and is a bit wary of dogs so it was a bit off putting to her. They were also all a bit over excited and ‘talking’ to each other which made it hard for us to converse. I’ve no objection to well behaved dogs but not everyone feels the same for various reasons and they are not necessarily just being intolerant. The Dabbling Duck has a large heated marquee outside as well as covered heated outdoor seating. Would it not be a good compromise to welcome dogs only to these areas and keep the small inside seating area pet free. Other than that small niggle it was a lovely brunch before a bracing walk in beautiful countryside surrounding Shere.

Loverly cafe dog friendly nice food only found by luck took wrong turning but turned out to be best wrong turn I've made value for money that's for sure I am in building trade so cafes are my thing and none come close

Such a wonderful cafe to visit. Amazing value for money and you're welcomed by very friendly staff. The food is great! Amazing quality sausages and bacon. The place was so clean. There's also loads of space around tables for buggies and wheelchairs. I shall be returning frequently!

Love it here. A group of 25 of us booked an area for morning coffee. They made sure we all had whatever drinks and cake we wanted. We all had a ticket we could add to and paid when we left. Well done, Pavilion staff - we'll be back.

We stopped off here on our way to the Top Gear airstrip / racetrack and, after my partner's initial misgivings as we drove on to the business park, we were very pleasantly surprised. It's clearly popular, both with people who work in the various offices close by and people who live I the surrounding area, and it's easy to see why. The layout is reminiscent of some English railway station cafés, with a functional counter at one end, next to a fridge with soft drinks, confectionery and food, but that's where the similarity ends because the staff are all very friendly and the food is lovely 😀 We had a falafel and houmous wrap, a cajun chicken salad, and a bag of ham and mustard crisps that had quite an impressive kick in places! We went on our way very glad we'd stopped off, and would definitely call in again.

Had been meaning to visit for a while but this morning saw my first visit. It will not be my last. Excellent filter coffee and Eggs Benedict. Great friendly service. What a perfect way to start a Tuesday!!

I go to Natters for a filter coffee and a cake every day and have done so for many years. The best ''Guest' filter coffee is precision made at the table, the cakes (my favourite are Tiffins) are Vegan. The coffee and all their cakes are excellent. The young staff are friendly, kind and hard working. When it's very busy there can be a delay but it's worth the wait. The best place for coffee in the area.

Superb breakfasts and coffee, we had dirty breakfast fries, half English, pancakes and eggs benedict. Everyone loved their food, really friendly service and great atmosphere. We will be back to try the rest of the menu 😋

Adorable cafe with inside and outdoor seating. I saw on the menu they do a pre-book afternoon tea as well! The loose leaf jasmine tea was a bit strong, but the pot was a very nice piece and my avocado toast was the delish. They compensated for our group of 6 and we all paid separately very easily!

Late morning on a Thursday - Not crowded but busy. Two great breakfasts and a superb king-size burger. Nice cup of tea and a latte. Great service, will come again when in town. Parking close by in public car park.

Classic British cafe. Decent quality of ingredients on the breakfast. Friendly guys running the place. All you can ask for really. Spent about £20 for two breakfasts with drinks.

Excellent breakfast and great service. As always!

I was just visiting the area and stumbled upon this lovely cafe. I was a little unsure if its the kind of food I fancied at first as I was only looking for a bakery at first. The menu was inside so I had to entry to read it. Upon entering I found it to be clean and functional. I went up to the counter where the lady was very polite and friendly. I ordered the "fat boy" breakfast as seeing the large menu had got me hungry. It was on the table within minutes and everything was cooked to a very nice standard. Whilst eating my meal I noticed the staff talking to customers in the dining area as they came in and out. They were all very polite and cheerful throughout. Overall I don't think you could beat it for the price and I will definitely be going back when I'm next here. Thank you very much!

Wonderful place to visit, we stumbled across this place and would live to visit again. Great food and drinks, and will certainly return for an afternoon tea

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

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.

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 :)
