The Best Cafes in Surrey, United Kingdom (2025)

Lunch and afternoon tea both excellent. Fresh food lovely cakes. Friendly and pleasant staff.

Fabulous place to go for a snack and a drink. The service is excellent, the staff are so welcoming and kind.

I go in twice a week with one of my clients lovely atmosphere great staff lovely food

Fantastic place to get food, excellent service, good location, lady serving (Becky) was very friendly and cheerful, excellent hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream.

Brilliant place. Well set out. Very dog friendly. Great staff, great food. It has everything you need even a dog washing station and ice-cream. My dog had a venison chew supplied by them. Ate it so fast only managed to get her picking her lips at the end.

We came here for lunch after a walk around Horsell common. My parents have been here multiple times, but this was my first visit and I will definitely be returning. I have coeliac disease, but they advised that the allergens could be found online and that they had gluten free bread and buns to substitute. They also confirmed the chips are fried separate so are safe to eat. Food was delicious and reasonably priced, plenty of choice. They also have a dog menu, which is a nice touch.

Very good cafe, food is well cooked and presented. We had egg benedict and a full English breakfast. Service is friendly and fast. It does get very busy at peak times.

Great place to go for breakfast, then followed by a nice walk along the amazing wetlands! Parking is great and free. There is loads of room outside including awesome outdoor pods which we used last time. The food is really nice and priced fairly. My personal tip is to arrive just after it opens, or around 9:30 - it’s not very busy then, and has a brilliant atmosphere. The staff are extremely friendly too.

There’s a charming café in my area that I’ve been visiting for several years now, and every time I go, it brings me so much joy. It’s not just a place to enjoy a good cup of coffee; it’s a space where friendships are made and cherished moments with loved ones take shape. They offer a small selection of delicious snacks—simple 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 café 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 café to anyone looking for a cozy spot with great service. Wishing you all continued success—keep up the fantastic work!

The warmest welcome you can think of! Great coffee and marvelous toasties! Just what I needed that morning, it made my day. Keep up the good work!

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.

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!

So thrilled to have found this lovely farmers market 😊 super clean and organized and fresh produce and basic needs of gardening. Thanks to the lovely staff member helping me pick up a small bag of composte as well cheers and see u soon

Fabulous array of artisan foods as well as traditional fruit and veg. Lots of lovely looking local produce and esoteric foods you won't find in a supermarket. Relatively expensive, but probably reflects what we should be paying for quality and lovingly made fare. Loved it.

Lovely selection of flowers, fresh fruit and veg, bread & other delicious food! The seasonal produce is great....the pumpkins and squash available at the moment are wonderful. It is quite expensive but a joy to pick up a few key bits now and again and you get what you pay for. The fresh orange juice is delicious. It would be awesome if you could get a coffee there! Overall, a lovely place.

What a lovely cafe and enough choices on the menu, we had 2 large veggie breakfasts and one large English breakfast, service was quick and food delicious 😋 and for dog owners there is a menu for dogs 😁

Excellent place for breakfast, decent portions with quality ingredients for a good price and friendly staff. Even better without the yappy dogs that came in, but don't let that get in the way, this is a great café.

Really good service. The food was great and really reasonably priced.. I'd recommend.

Lovely small cafe, quite busy often find there's not enough seating to the amount of customers. However the food standards are brilliant 👏 the staff are welcoming and friendly. Recommended for a nice cuppa and breakfast if you get a chance.

Great little cafe on the town centre. Not a huge menu, but everything is perfect! Lovely attentive and friendly staff! Will be coming back!

Lovely decor in this place, bright and fresh. Friendly and polite service. Food was lovely, nice cup of tea as well.

We had the Sunday roast trio which has chicken, pork belly, and roast beef with all the traditional vegetables. Then we had the sticky toffee pudding and finally some good cocktails. This is a great option within walking distance to the Wotton House hotel.

What a fantastic country pub! I have been here a couple of times now and the food, service and atmosphere is really great. The Sunday roasts are good, we made sure we booked a table though as it gets busy. Inside there are many restaurant tables and a cosy bar area with a fireplace. The toilets were clean. There is also outdoor seating for the summer months, plus free parking available at the back. The staff are very friendly and polite, and the service is good. If you're looking for traditional pub food I would highly recommend The Wotton Hatch. If I lived more local I would be eating here every weekend!

A great find, and a must-do if you’re staying at Wotton House or exploring the Surrey Hills. The manager was great in particular, conversational and funny. The staff were polite and attentive, food came out quickly and overall food was great too. The vibe is good. Cosy, but not sleepy. Modern and quality feel all round. Highly recommended!

Had the 10oz steak (£31) which was tasty, but it didn't come with the caramelised Roscoff onion as per the menu. We also sent back the sticky toffee pudding because it had vanilla ice cream vs the billed ginger ice cream. The atmosphere was nice. Very dark where we sat. Lots of dogs around. They asked for a deposit because people leave without paying. Might try it again one day.

We went for lunch and what a wonderful place. Staff lovely, attentive, welcoming and very friendly. The food was fantastic. Very tasty and beautifully presented. Location by the river is a great addition to Guildford and very good wheelchair accessibility. There is a large car park right next door , so parking is not a problem. This is a place I would definitely visit again.

The Boathouse is a fantastic little cafe tucked away by the river. They clearly use high-quality ingredients, and it shows in every dish. Their breakfast is a real treat - the sausages are packed with meat, the spinach is perfectly seasoned, and the hash browns are crispy little bites of potato goodness. I particularly loved the English breakfast. The sourdough toast was delicious, the eggs were cooked to perfection, and the whole meal was just really well balanced. The cafe itself is lovely, with great views of the river. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy a delicious breakfast.

This is a great location and a well designed space but …. It was unclear how to get service and there were a lot of leftovers from last night on some tables - including ash tray (shell) on the floor. I only had coffee which was very good and will definitely return but needs more focus.

Great old pub, fish and chips were perfect. Also had the Scotch egg and Cider, and for dessert the sticky toffee pudding with double cream is a must, so be sure to save room!

A lovely off the beaten track pub that's a clear hit with the locals. The trio of roasts was great, a good portion, reasonably priced at around £20, but would recommend adding a few sides. Only let down was the children's portion sizes-cost. The pictured sausage and mash.....£8.50. Far too much for a single sausage and meager scoop of mash.

Oh my gosh. Such an incredible pub - food was amazing and next level, service was absolutely brilliant too. Everyone was so friendly. I cannot recommend the crab on toast enough - the bread was (not kidding at all) the best bread I’ve ever had. Fish pie was also amazing. 10/10. Great food, energy and dog friendly so even better after a long dog walk with our puppy!! Will definitely be back!

Lovely tucked away countryside pub with good and quick service, consistently good food.

Fabulous cafe tucked away of the main road into Capel. Nice breakfast, seating outside overlooking the lake. Friendly staff, very peaceful place. On a cold frosty morning warm yourself up inside in front of their real log fire.

Beautiful location in Surrey on this privately owned lake .. the food is freshly cooked & scrumptious we had breakfast lovely hash browns tasty sausages thick bacon good portion size. Staff are friendly and helpful..You can even fish on the lake with a day ticket kids free with the owner Jon supplying fishing equipment what a star . Great place all round .

We went to Ruby's cafe recently and had a lovely lunch, the staff were super friendly and the food was really yummy. Although it was very very busy the food came out quickly and the staff couldn't do enough to help us. Really lovely cafe and looks super nice since there has been improvements on the outside cladding. 10/10 would recommend!

Had a lovely chill time at Ruby’s and wondered round the lake. Vegan alternative was made and well enjoyed. Emma was serving us and gave us a lovely service. We were made to feel welcome to take our time and wonder the lakeside. Super relaxed. Good place for pondering. Friendly neighbour cat visited too!
