The 30 Best Cafe atmosphere in Croydon

“Paratha we're tasty, tea was great. Outstanding service. The San Sebastian Cheese Cake is out of this world amazing. I recommend the Paratha Inn for authentic pakistani parathas.”

“Had superb vegetarian focaccia (mozzarella, sun-dried tomato, aubergine, olives). Cooked to perfection, crispy outside, melty inside. Generous portion and very reasonable prices. They also sell authentic Italian products - pasta, oils, pasta sauces. Also delicious looking cakes, which I didn't try, as focaccia was substantial! Friendly, helpful staff.”

“It was great the coffee was nice and the cake seems to be freshly baked when I came in”

“The atmosphere at FILTR was great, the coffee (my oat milk latte) was very smooth and tasty, it is great sustainably sourced coffee. I tried their coconut matcha latte on another occasion and I think they do coffee the best (I felt their was not enough matcha itself in the drink, but this may be personal preference). Seating available inside and outside, which is great to sip your coffee when the sun is out! Incredibly friendly and welcoming staff, great customer service!”

“Never been in before, but glad we did. Very friendly, clean and good quality food. We went there as I all the food at Costa had E-numbers. This was all fresh and the coffee is 10/10”

“Novi is the BEST espresso room / coffee shop in the ‘Nam without exception. It’s the warmth of the welcome as much as it is the delights within!”

“Ive been to this wee local pub a few times, always friendly and good banter! Its nice to get away from the hussle an bussle of the high street of croydon tho your only just around the corner.. wee places like this are becoming very rare and in time will eventually be pushed out by other big clubs/pubs doing student nights and cheap drinks night, this pub seems to have a loyal community following and long may it last! Ill definitely be back.”

“The only bar worth visiting in Croydon if you enjoy craft beer. Excellent range of beers both on tap and in the fridge. They usually have food available at weekends, and on weekdays you’re welcome to bring food in. Knowledgable staff.”

“I flew here from Melbourne where you can't find Foster's on tap anywhere (go figure!). The beer is great, and most are pulled from a traditional pump. The fish and chips is up there with the the best I've had. This place vibes like I would hope every little street pub would vibe. It's a shame I have to fly back home to the other Croydon in Melbourne.”

“Superb local hostelry - great beers helpful staff. Always a great welcome”

“Met antipodean friends for dinner. Lovely food - lots of it - great lively atmosphere and fantastic service. So lucky to have this pub so near to us. Thoroughly recommended.”

“Very nice. Had an almond and apricot slice. Good coffee. The lady across from me was raving about it. Imported from India apparently”

“Great staff, friendly and experienced. Top notch food and coffee. Best place for a quick bite in Croydon breakfast or lunch!”

“Scrambled eggs, bacon, mushrooms and toast. Great food from local cafe”

“Had my breakfast in there today and the place was clean and friendly. Prices were really good also”

“My favourite local pub. The best staff and exceptionally well kept beer. Punters are all friendly a real gem of a pub”

“Visited a couple of times since restrictions were lifted. Very professional service with staff attending tables to take orders regularly. Definitely London pricing, cocktails will set you back £9.50+ a pop but they are delicious and pack a punch. And the food!!!...I had the hake, partner had the bone marrow burger - I have not had food that good since the Michelin starred Albert's Table closed down. Outstanding! You do need to book in advance and you only get 2 hrs per booking per day. Not all tables have heaters but vast majority do and 90% of tables are covered. On our 2nd visit the heater above our table wasn't working which was a shame because we would have stayed longer if it had been. A must visit for cocktail lovers and foodies alike.”

“Absolutely lovely welcoming place to go. Management and bar staff are so friendly. We’re from the North East of England and we were made to feel so welcome. Food is great too. The bar has a nice outside seating area perfect for the summer months. We look forward to visiting whenever we’re in the area.”

“So cute and fun! Lovely landlady and cat - we had lots of fun chatting”

“Amazing and friendly little pub. They've got a really nice patio in the back. Great little find! Out of all the pubs in the area this is a gem!”

“Lovely spot for a Sunday Roast. Took the Misses and some mates here a few weeks ago and the grub was very good and very reasonably priced too. One of the best roast spuds I've had in a pub. Guinness was up there with some of the better pints I've had. Not a massive fan of the inside of the pub, bit like a sports club I prefer more of a dirty old mans boozer, but it has a cracking beer garden for the sunny days. I'd return for a summers sesh on the ciders.”

“Been coming here years and it’s one of my favourite restaurants, it’s a cool place with delicious food. I do wish there was a little more variety on the menu but what they do make is delicious. It’s always clean and the staff are friendly.”

“The food served here is delicious. I’ve eaten here a few times now and I’ll definitely be coming back. The prices are good. It’s a clean restaurant, with a big car park so it’s easy to find parking. I highly recommend!”

“Went out to do some work on essays for my degree. Café Davinci was great, I not only had space to listen to a lecture, bit also enjoyed a toasted ciabatta, Portuguese tart, slice of cake and copious amounts of tea! (All reasonably priced!)”

“Excellent service, well presented meals. Staff always friendly, always go the extra mile. Best in Seldsdon”

“It was a sunny Sunday when I visited here. The atmosphere was amazing. Polite and welcoming staff. Good quality food, freshly cooked on site and reasonably priced. Great coffee too. Will definitely recommend and visit again. Have facilities at the back.”

“I love coming here. I order an egg, bacon and sausage roll with ketchup every time I come. The roll is always soft and the filling is cooked to perfection. Best cafe in Croydon. The chef is an absolute joy. Good food and great people - what more could you ask for? If I could give 1 million stars out of 10, I would.”

“I jumped on the bus going the wrong way to get home from ASDA . When I and the wife jumped off to head the right direction we decided to grab a bite when we saw the Plough. They were only serving Sunday Roast and I am extremely glad . I would have hated to have ordered something else and missed this great dish! Being from Texas there is a certain expectation when it come to cooked beef and this roast didn’t disappoint but you will pay for it. It’s a bit pricey for only 1 piece of beef but the quality was outstanding. I will return for more!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Great Pub. Owners are experienced and very welcoming. You really can’t go wrong. Also they have a cider called “Inch” be careful it’s delicious!”

“Went with a friend who recommended this place. Such a nice pub, rock music playing, friendly atmosphere and great decor. Have not tried the food yet. Have been twice and will be coming again.”
