Popped in with my friend and had the French ploughmanâs and it was delicious! Itâs a very traditional tea room with traditional cups and saucers. Service is slow but delightful so if youâre expecting quick service youâre in the wrong place. As we were leaving they apologised for the wait but we were not bothered about waiting as it was a lovely intimate experience. I will definitely go back again!!

Lovely cafe tucked away down an alleyway. Easily missed. Coffee was exceptional and the food all looked delicious. Will return when in the area.

Best cup of coffee in Guildford! The chocolate doughnut is really good too.
Rating: 5 / 5
If all you want is a sandwich and hot drink, this is the best place to go in Guildford. The thick hot chocolate is awesome, you have to spoon it out. Chicken and pesto hot sandwich also a big hit. Outside seating, but covered with heaters, so no complaints!
Rating: 5 / 5
Came for the italian style hot chocolate and it didn't disappoint. It's very rich and decadent so even though I really enjoyed it I couldn't finish it. Next time I think I'll get something savoury to go with it. Service was also very good and friendly and it's seemed to be very popular.

Lovely italien coffee Shop serving Illy frozen coffee as well. They have also a good selection of paninis, Italien doughnuts, arancinis and more. When the weather is good you can enjoy your coffee and snack outdoors as they have plenty of seats.

Emailed to book for lunch on 30/12. Responded quickly confirming our booking. As ever the welcome was warm, the service excellent and the food delicious. Highly recommended as ever. I love that you have such a great choice of small plates and large dinners along with a good selection of yummy cakes.

We had a great experience here the other day. This cafe restaurant was busy so we had to park a newlands corner across the road. The staff were friendly and even though it was busy the service was quick. We both ordered burgers for lunch, which cost ÂŁ16 each. My own burger was the plucky pheasant beef burger, with cheddar and chilli jam. This was a mighty burger, that had a great taste, texture and was filled with toppings. It came with crispy french fries and a salad. Loved this burger! My other half ordered the Southern fried chicken burger which was also good, though not as epic as the beef burger. Worth knowing this is a dog friendly cafe, and at busy times like this there were about 10 dogs in the tented area where we were seated. All well behaved and a joy to see đ Updating based on our second trip here, as ever great atmosphere and place to get some excellent food. This time around I had a Moroccan lamb sandwich which was superbly tasty, my other half had the chicken panini which she wasn't too impressed by. The salad dressing looked a bit strange but worked well flavour wise . We sat indoors to order lunch, it was cosy, the staff were friendly as usual and food arrived promptly.

We stopped by for breakfast and I tried the Plucky Breakfast. It was delicious, and the bacon was definitely the highlight, it was perfectly cooked, which is rare to find these days. The staff were warm and attentive and the cozy atmosphere was just the cherry on top!

Great up-market cafe. It was pretty busy when we arrived although there were tables available inside and some more in the attached marquee. The food was very good and filling. The atmosphere was good too. Definitely worth a visit.

Canopy Coffee

Rating: 4.7 (325) Price Level:
Such a great coffee shop. My husband is a coffee snob and highly recommends the authentic and variety of coffee here. The people were very friendly as well. Only lost a star because there really isn't any seating (I understand it is limited to their space) but great idea to have two ordering stations to keep the shop from overcrowding. Wish there was one closer to us!

We had a lovely time visiting Canopy Coffee. The smoothies were great, and the toasties were perfect for our lunch stop. Staff were friendly and definitely recommended.

Amazing little hole in the wall. Tasty coffee but itâs their incredible toasted sandwiches that stole the show. I would go as far as to say⊠best toastie Iâve ever had! (P.S. my pic does it zero justice.)

Thereâs a charming cafĂ© in my area that Iâve been visiting for several years now, and every time I go, it brings me so much joy. Itâs not just a place to enjoy a good cup of coffee; itâs a space where friendships are made and cherished moments with loved ones take shape. They offer a small selection of delicious snacksâsimple yet incredibly tasty. As for the coffee, I always like mine prepared a little differently than most, and they never fail to deliver an amazing taste every time. What truly makes this cafĂ© special is the friendly and welcoming team. Today, in particular, I was impressed by Bogdan, a kind Ukrainian barista who has been working here for a while. His warm service and attention to detail finally inspired me to leave a well-deserved positive review and write a few kind words about this wonderful place. You guys are doing an outstanding job, and I wholeheartedly recommend this cafĂ© to anyone looking for a cozy spot with great service. Wishing you all continued successâkeep up the fantastic work!

Rating: 4.6 (173) Price Level:
Popped in for Sunday brunch. Great food and service was good. I had the avocado on toast with poached egg and bacon and it was delicious. Not a great fan of the coffee but that's more to do with personal taste. Atmosphere was good and we had plenty of space including a child buggy and high chair.

I love this place. I often head there early on a Sunday when it's still quiet for some sourdough toast and coffee. Both are delicious and the staff are warm and welcoming.
Rating: 5 / 5
First time popping into Wild & Green as just moved into the area. Really lovely inside and great service. The only sad thing is that itâs not that easy to see from the road so need to redesign their balcony area to make it more inviting. We are looking forward to coming back for their Friday and Saturday evenings!

We went for lunch today on our first visit and were really impressed. The coffee actually tasted like coffee and the hot food was equally tasty. The menu was eclectic and made a change from the usual panini. Also, very good value.

This place makes one of the best cappuccinos Iâve ever had âtruly delicious and unique. Additionally, the shopâs supervisor is incredibly helpful. I had an issue with the loyalty app, and they spent several minutes working on it without hesitation. In the end, they managed to resolve the problem. I was extremely satisfied both in terms of service and taste.

FANTASTIC. Called into Esquire Coffee for a coffee and a bite to eat. Great cup of coffee and a tasty tuna melt. Delicious. Staff really friendly and professional. I will definitely go back when Iâm next in Guildford.

Popped in for a coffee and Bakewell Tart. Excellent and not expensive. Great service and clean. Just at the top of Guildford so not too busy at 2.30pm. Quite a lot of estate agents grabbing a coffee. Probably quiet with over inflated rents and house prices đ

Every time weâve visited Altitude it has been brilliant. The staff are lovely (a team to be proud of) and the drinks are fabulous. I mean the place does coffee, croissants and cocktails...do you need more!? 10/10 every time đ

Weâve visited Altitude a number of times now, during the day for coffee and snacks and in the evening for cocktails and entertainment. The staff are always so lovely and welcoming and the service very quick. Itâs a huge space which has been newly decorated to a very high standard and has a great atmosphere. Thereâs plenty of tables to sit at with lots of space around so you donât ever feel cramped. Weâve so far tried their coffee and cocktails which are spot on. Weâve also had cakes, cookies and nachos which were spectacular!! Absolutely love this place, itâs a credit to the owners. Weâll definitely be back!

Great coffee, I enjoyed my almond cappuccino. Staff were super friendly. Nice atmosphere and they got some outside seating.

This is a fantastic coffee shop with a fantastic atmosphere and service. The Croissants are nice and large, with a lovely soft inside & crusty outer, and the Bacon and Brie filled Croissant's are well worth having the filling portion is a decent amount along with beautiful onion chutney. The prices are reasonable. I am definitely looking forward to my next visit Oh and another very big plus point they are dog friendly

Two Many Cooks

Rating: 4.5 (208) Price Level:
A specialty cafe with a healthy menu, calming décor, wood tables, local merchandise, smiles of the servers. My sausage sarnie came with red onions in it of which its sweetness went well with the pork, the sourdough freshly moist, the meat freshly juicy. My wife's avocado on toast was wholesome but the avocado was cut in halves though garnished with red pepper. I would prefer it being smashed and seasoned.

The Dabbling Duck
Middle St, Shere, Guildford GU5 9HF, UK | Cafe P: 01483 205791
Rating: 4.5 (1223) Price Level:
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.
Rating: 4 / 5
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 âtalkingâ to each other which made it hard for us to converse. Iâve 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.
Rating: 5 / 5
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!

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.
