The 30 Best Breakfast options in Beckenham

“Too the wife and daughter for her birthday, booked in advance on their website, which was easy, and got a confirmation same day. Saturday evening was very busy. The atmosphere was nice , the service was very good and the food was hot, fresh tastie and very filling , and they don't automatically add service charge to the bill”

“I’ve been a loyal Daisy Grey customer since 2023, and in that time it’s become far more than just a coffee stop for me — it’s been a constant companion through every stage of my academic and professional life. The team is consistently warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming; they remember faces, orders, and even the little details that make you feel like part of the community. During my undergraduate degree, the outdoor heaters kept me company through countless study sessions. As a teacher, I found myself back here on early mornings, planning lessons with a cup of something extra hot (which they never fail to get just right). And the outdoor plug sockets? They witnessed the highs and lows of my master’s degree — drafts, deadlines, and all. The coffee is always delicious, reliably smooth, and prepared with care. Their pastries are just as unforgettable: the croissants are always fresh, warm, and perfectly flaky, and the banana bread is genuinely the best in town. The fact that the staff remember my regular extra-hot order says everything about the personal touch that sets Daisy Grey apart. I regularly drive an extra ten minutes from work, even on my shortest breaks, just to get a Daisy Grey coffee — it’s genuinely that worth it. Daisy Grey isn’t just a café; it’s been a backdrop to my growth, a comforting constant, and the best local spot I’ve ever had the pleasure of calling “mine.” Highly recommended.”

“We live just up the road and thought it was a greasy spoon. How wrong we were. Poached is a postage stamp size gourmet breakfast restaurant. The menu is innovative. The service is warm and friendly. That totally know their coffee (fresh roasted beans on sale here too). A delightful place for breakfast (and probably lunch too. As a bonus they have a live train times board and do takeaways. 5 stars all the way.”

“The staff were very lovely, they worked with a smile on their face which was refreshing. The room was clean, bedding towels, bathroom etc. The heater was easy to work and warmed up the room relatively quickly. The only thing missing was a hairdryer which was disappointing.”

“1st time ordering. Was tasty big portions, good prices delivered in quick time. Great mixed starter. Egg fried veg rice very nice and a good black bean tofu veg; no chillies which my partners happy with. The crispy chicken wings i found so delicious and beef chow mein lots meat! Yum! Will order again.”

“Great room for the price. Just stayed there and the reception team was incredibly responsive. Will be staying here again definitely as you really can’t find something this good for the price point in London.”

“Had a lovely time here with my family. Food was very nice and plenty of tables to choose from. Would definitely go again.”

“This is a really nice friendly Cafe, the coffee and flapjacks are delicious. Very friendly and good service, if you are passing by I highly recommend you pop in for a comfy chair and nice atmosphere.”

“From the moment you step inside, the aroma of freshly ground coffee and buttery croissants wraps around you like a cashmere scarf. The interior? Think sun-drenched nooks with velvet armchairs, vintage bookshelves, and fairy lights that twinkle like captured stars. It’s Instagram-worthy without trying too hard. I ordered the lavender honey latte and the avocado toast with poached eggs and truffle oil—and let me tell you, my taste buds threw a party. The latte was silky, floral, and perfectly balanced (not a hint of soapiness, which is a lavender crime I’ve suffered elsewhere). The toast? Crispy sourdough, creamy avocado, eggs cooked to runny perfection, and that truffle oil… chef’s kiss. Portions are generous but not overwhelming, and every ingredient screams quality. The staff? Absolute angels. My barista, Leo, noticed I was sketching and brought over a tiny complimentary matcha madeleine “for inspiration.” Service this thoughtful should be illegal. Even the playlist—lo-fi jazz with a sprinkle of French pop—feels”

“Staff friendly and helpful. Quality of food excellent. Large choice of menu. Premises always very clean and tidy. As soon as a table is vacated, the table is cleared and cleaned. Would recommend Hutch's highly.”

“Lovely coffee shop really close to the station, not the place to be sitting on your laptop (my mistake) it’s hustle and bustle and friendly customer service is great if you’re just stopping by and having a good catchup. But wouldn’t stay for long as it’s a tiny space. Definitely recommend for good coffee and quality baked goods. Had the blackberry danish was so good I forgot to take a photo!”

“Had a weekend brunch here and we absolutely loved it! this place is local to me and I couldn’t believe I’ve not been here before. It’s a cute café, decent food, very welcoming staff (they probably know half of the people who come in here as they seem to be regulars) ☺️ We enjoyed our food and the portions were generous! It’s the little things that I truly appreciate, the decor, the way the food was laid on the plate and the atmosphere in the cafe. Overall, would recommend!”

“Baylee was so friendly. The açai bowl was lovely too!”

“A proper 10/10 place here. I came with my friends and dog and the service was incredible - very kind - and may I say super homemade cakes! We highly recommend it!”

“I loved this place. Great service.”

“Stunning Sunday lunch! One of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had in a long time— even better than some of the traditional pubs Uptown. The preparation of the vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy were spot on! Nice, busy atmosphere, with great service. Thanks!”

“Lovely fry up served very quickly. Very popular Sunday late morning so can be quite noisy. Clean and food piping hot. Outside seating also.”

“Nice little spot in the park court yard brilliant for dog walkers and visitors. Nice menu serves stone baked pizzas with a few to choose from. Breakfast buns and a nice selection of drinks. Ice cream counter that also serves special dog ice creams. Very nice staff all the food is fresh and they have a selection of cakes and bakery goods. Well worth a stop”

“This is a busy park cafe. The coffee is very good and on our last visit my son had a huge almond Croissant which was exceptional. We have never had a meal but the menu is varied and what I have seen served looks very appetising. Finally the staff are friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit in my opinion.”

“Haven't been there for 8 years, fancy something different than pub food, the food was excellent big portions two drinks cost only £20 would have cost me in the £50 in the pub highly recommend.”

“Gorgeous coffee and cake and friendly, helpful service. Only thing I’d change was the lack of choice for gluten free – though the mandarin and chocolate chip slice I had was top notch. Oh! Love the garden out the back, too! Wish I lived closer to visit again!”

“Went today this Deli today to get the lovely Italian ham they have which is very tasty. The Deli was quite busy and I they clearly needed another member of the team to help although the lovely lady who served me was so professional and polite. She stayed calm under pressure from people that definitely should be more polite. (Be kind) Manners cost nothing. Well done to Kaley:)”

“A lovely little gem on the High Street and a great place to get some quick food if you don't feel like visiting a chain restaurant. The two owners are lovely and friendly, and the sandwiches are delicious with a great variety to choose from on the menu. Would definitely recommend for a quicker and cheaper option on the High Street.”

“The atmosphere is nice and the staff friendly. There is a good selection of teas and coffees. The cakes are tasty. Pastries are ok though. However we enjoy this place after a nice walk during cold days.”

“Friendly and flexible service with a simple but tasty selection of food. Their soup 9f the day and vegetarian wrap proved very palatable. We even received an extra slice of rather good brown bread on the house.”

“Great refit and staff are lovely as usual, could do with some background music.”

“John’s Kitchen is amazing. I usually don’t like some Chinese takeaways because it can be so oily but here they don’t make it oily. Their ho fun and sweet and sour is the best I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend this place”

“Its quite hidden inside Clock House Rail Station, Exceptional customer service, and a beautiful coffee, the shop needs some looking after but nevertheless tasty coffee”

“Our favorite cafe the cakes are the best and the value incredible.”
