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

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!

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!

My husband and I discovered this cosy cafe a couple of days ago. The coffee was really good, the toasty was freshly made and you're supporting a charity. It's a win-win!

The best coffee shop in Woking. Beautiful space, lovely staff and the most delicious coffee. The food is also great and very reasonable, plus the cakes… all made in house and change on a regular basis with seasonal specials too. And the best bit? The staff are volunteers with all profits going to help the work of The Lighthouse. A must visit!

Really fast service, great food, lovely staff. Couldn't ask for more. Staff were attentive but not pushy. Toilets are nice, with a baby change. Came for lunch and was served and had everything within 5-10 mins during lunch service (so pretty busy and no free tables). Plenty of seating available. Coffees are really good.

Made for the perfect spot between nail appointments across the road late Saturday morning. Properly lovely coffee and properly lovely people in this bustling independent coffeehouse.

Great food, warm atmosphere and friendly service. Only 9 minutes drive from Homewood Parkrun. Great to refill the tank and prep for the day. Thank you 'Ohanas.

Great friendly service, excellent chocolate brownie and brunches, with our coffees and hot chocolates. . Lovely atmosphere. Made to feel very comfortable and welcome. Group of us went after a long walk. Lots of compliments from the group.

In my opinion one of the most underrated places to get a coffee in Surrey. The head barista really knows his coffee and they have a great selection of cakes. I asked for an espresso but was told it would be more like an aeropress/drip style. I was happy with that as I have one at home. I was recommended strength 6 and have to say it was very tasty. For cake, I had the white chocolate, pistachio loaf which again, was very nice. Service was friendly, fast and informative. Can’t ask for much more. Highly recommend.

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

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!

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.

very cozy place with delicious food at good prices, kind service we will be back

This is a great cafe/restaurant. Coffee is delicious, not overly strong. We used the table service to order which was easy to use and our food and drinks arrived quite quickly even though was quite busy. We received great service from staff. Good selection on menu, and it warned of the items it had run out of. We will definitely return if we are in Staines again.

Another 5 star review - across the board - for the Team who work at Nostrano Lounge in Staines. The staff are super friendly, taking the time to explain anything unclear or even to pause and have a chat if not busy. The atmosphere is chilled, kinda like Coffee Perks in Friends. There are sofas for you to chillout and enjoy a coffee + slice of cake or enjoy a full meal at the regular tables, choice is yours. This review is written off the back of the service received from the staff member who served me the Mojito and the Diablo Burger on Friday night (15 November). Table 34! Thanks for making the evening another positive experience. To Mgmt, take note. This one's a star!

Best breakfast we’ve had in ages. We wish we lived closer to go more often, but we were on our way home to North Wales. Everything freshly cooked, hot and with soft eggs. All with a decent, hot mug of tea and toast included. Fab!! Many thanks.

Lovely food and surprisingly light for a full English style breakfast. A vegetarian brekkie for me and an Orchard Special for my partner. My partner has been going for years and the quality is very consistent.

I had four hours before my flight and found the closest cafe to Heathrow with outdoor seating that served a full breakfast and had high marks. What a came across was a hidden gem! It had everything that I wanted. Beautiful day today allowed me to eat breakfast outside. I had eggs, bacon, sausage, fries and toast & jam. Everything was delicious! Including the freshly squeezed orange juice. The staff is warm and welcoming and prices are very reasonable. So the next time you are stuck in Heathrow and have a few hours to kill why not get a taxi over to The Orchard Cafe, sit outside and take off your mask, breath open air and enjoy a tasty breakfast.

If you are on here searching for a great place to have breakfast or brunch then, honestly, get in Joe's and get eating. It's an honest, old school cafe. A proper cafe cup of tea and fry up. No frills, just mouth watering proper sausage, egg, beans, toast, bacon, black pudding and hash browns..... Hungry yet? Just do it! Also, lovely lady that runs it (embarrassingly I don't know her name after numerous visits) who also makes lovely coffee to take away. Thanks.

Visited Joe's Cafe for breakfast because the decor was nice and they did not disappoint because the food delivered which explains why they have so many postcards sent back from visitors. On a brief visit to Chertsey, I felt that there were not many dine in cafes as they were mainly takeaways so this is definitely a winner for Joe's. The menu at Joe's had the usual breakfast suspects but interestingly it didn't have black pudding which you can order if needed. I had the small breakfast which came with tea and buttered toast with extra black pudding. It came on a clean white plate, no oil to be seen and the tinned tomatoes were intact and the plate was clean surrounding it with no traces of tomato juice etc. Anyway, everything on the plate was 10/10, the toast was buttered nicely and you can taste the saltiness from the butter. The bacon was trimmed, egg was fried nicely so were the sausage and black pudding. Last but not least the tinned tomatoes were just right, not too soft or soggy with a meaty chewy bursting with seeds in the middle.

Lovely veggie breakfast, added hash brown and fried bread to it, everything cooked really well. friendly staff, very efficient too. will definitely be back! nice coffee too.

Lovely coffee shop, with very chatty and friendly staff that never fail to put a smile on your face :) Warm atmosphere and a great place to study with friends! 10/10 food and coffee☕️☕️

I visited Esquires for the first time today. I chose it because it was halfway between me and my friend and because of the photo of the eggs benedict. It's a lovely coffee shop in a great area. The coffee was good and the eggs benedict was delicious. I even had coffee art of a smiley face. I would highly recommend. 🥰

Visited here twice, the first time I noted how many regulars there were here and the welcoming atmosphere. The owner came over to talk to me as I was sitting alone, which you'd not get in your average coffee shop. The second visit was no exception. It was busy and I got there just before 11am. The owner remembered me from my last visit. Great selection of coffees, cold drinks and food. There's also a clothing stand concession within the shop, run by a student which was good to see. A community notice board with local information is on display next to the counter, allowing everyone to read what's going on in the area. Happy to visit here again.

This place is beautiful. I really enjoyed having breakfast here. It was extensively decorated with Christmas-themed accessories by early November 🎄 In particular, I recommend the cappuccino with cinnamon.

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

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 :)

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

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.

What’s a lovely cafe! Quiet and chill. Very friendly and allow me to study my paper for than an hour. Thank you!!!

Beautiful hot Almond Danish and Coffee. 👍😁

Small friendly cafe, two chairs downstairs but has an upstairs room too with about 5 others tables. Chilled and peaceful. Nice coffee and pasteis de nata was👌

Absolutely love this place! I take anyone who visits me here.

Had been wanting to visit for a few years as this cafe and village has been made somewhat famous by a certain film franchise (I do believe?!) and it’s very charming. Understandably busy due to it being a bank holiday Sunday lunchtime but we managed to get a table. Service was very friendly and the decor is super cute. It would’ve been nice to have the heating on as it was quite chilly, but I always feel the cold more than most. Food took a while to come, but again, it was busy. However food was lovely and it was hard to choose what to have as there was really good choice for veggies. Didn’t try the cakes but they looked incredible! Definitely worth a visit.

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!

Am cycling from London to Portsmouth on our way to Europe and had a fantastic breakfast here this morning. Very tasty, good coffee, and they have cake slices you can take away. Clearly a favourite with cyclists in the region. Very friendly staff and service was quick and very pleasant.

Lovely dog friendly cafe in a beautiful village with lots of outdoor seating. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. They have a good selection of lunch options. The only critique we would make is that the coffee and walnut cake had little to no coffee in it. But lunch was delicious.
