The 30 Best Cafe in Chislehurst

“Lovely coffee & cakes. Great to have a hot drink in a cafe (and loos) in the Rec!”

“I have eaten here many times and it's always good. The salads are very large, tasty and filling. Wraps are huge! There is a lot of variety to choose from. Great chips. Definitely recommend. The kids menu is great too, not just the usual burger and chips, plenty of options. Makes a change from the chain restaurants in the high street.”

“Yummy! Good vegan breakfast available, and dairy alternatives for coffee. Only issue is that it is quite cold inside the cafe as it feels like there is a door open at the back so quite draughty, food is great though!”

“First time back to the Ramblers Rest in 42 years. Did not order food, but the beer was great. Hope to return sooner than 42 years.”

“Wrattens Caffe is a true hidden gem of Chislehurst High Street. In fact, it is so well hidden at the back of a clothing shop (not a bad one either by the way!) that only a few locals are aware of its existence and visit regularly. I've been delighted being one of these few for years, but this morning, enjoying an amazing chicken and bacon melt toastie with some great coffee, I felt rather sad that your typically blunt and tired Costa next door was booming with visitors, while only a few tables were taken at homey and delicious Wrattens. So here you go, time for my best-kept secret to stop being one. Give yourself the most Chislehurst experience one can think of, visit Wrattens Caffe, have a chat with its loveliest staff, have a walk around the shop while you're waiting for your food to materialize on your table. All that knowing that every penny you leave there supports the community and its people, not Coca-Cola Corp. Why, didn't you know Costa belongs to Cokes? Well, now you do, so turn left on that doorstep, choose Wrattens next time you're around!”

“A delightful experience. Having previously visited for superb coffee and delicious pastries, I couldn't resist the opportunity to book when offered the opportunity to dine here for a summer special. The menu looked irresistible and did not disappoint! Very high attention to detail and beautiful presentation paved the way for a delicious culinary experience (menu attached). Owned and run by a lovely couple I cannot recommend highly enough this wonderful cafe and occasional restaurant. Every item is simply exquisite and I am so glad I booked. Every course was lovingly and delicately presented with pride in a super chilled and leisurely alfresco restaurant. Simply delightful and highly recommended.”

“This cafe provided an invaluable service to the community during lockdown and received a letter of thanks from Bromley. I still go there on an almost daily basis to support this business as it supported many of us during the lockdown. Good food with generous ingredients and good coffee. Highly recommended”

“Highly unusual pub giving the appearance of a flower shop when you enter but hiding a small bar with extensive selection of very fine craft beers and ciders at the back. Lovely quiet atmosphere for drinking and chatting with great staff. An absolute must stopover for anybody passing through the Chislehurst, Bromley, Sidcup area.”

“This place is the Best place in and around Chislehurst, Trust Me! 100% The Breakfasts are absolutely spot on!! I have recently tried their roast dinners on various different days and Oh My God! It is out of this world, I am not joking please Try it and see for yourselves. Sev and Ali are really nice people and they know how to look after their customers. This is a good Old Fashioned Cafe! Nothing Posh here!! Thank you so much and hopefully see you again soon. X Best Hus”

“Came for a quick drink, came here a few years ago and really liked it, still a great place. Went on a Sunday lunchtime, not the best time because it was packed. Didn't stay to eat but if you do want to then I recommend booking in advance if they take reservations. We sat outside which was fine since it was a nice day. Friendly, welcoming and helpful service from the gent behind the bar (possibly the manager/owner). Very family orientated feel to the place. Very cosy inside. Good choice of drinks at reasonable prices.”

“Tasty coffee and great service! The latte art in my flat white is 10/10”

“This little gem was an amazing find Hosted a Baby Shower here on Saturday and cannot express how accommodating The staff were. Dan was very flexible and encouraged us to decorate, provide a playlist that he played through the function room sound system, he allowed us to go in early before the booking to decorate too. There is plenty room for a sit down occasion or a full disco/dj party. A back door leads out to the garden and a separate area too. The room has plenty of sockets and a bar, buffet food is an option too. Had an amazing time and everyone complimented on the venue and how quaint, country-feel yet quirky it was. Perfect, Thank you !”

“Came in this morning and it was busy! I was served quickly. I informed the lovely Julie of my peanut allergy, she provided me with her undivided attention. Julie made me feel at ease placing my order. She let me know she would be washing the jug and gave me a full disclaimer. Julie double checked my order before preparing it and did so again before handing it over. 10/10 Customer Service”

“I visited Costa Coffee in Chislehurst last Wednesday—had a great coffee and got some work done on my laptop. I've been here several times, and it’s always a calm, friendly place. One of my favorite spots in one of the nicest areas of London!”

“I recently held a wake for my late mother at The Queen’s Head, and I cannot praise the team enough. From start to finish, the staff were incredibly attentive, compassionate, and professional. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly during such an emotional time. The food was outstanding—beautifully presented, full of flavour, and served in generous portions. There was a fantastic variety, and it was all so well received by our guests—it disappeared in no time! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff made everyone feel comfortable and cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend The Queen’s Head to anyone looking for a venue to host a wake or any special gathering. Their dedication, kindness, and attention to detail made a difficult day so much easier. Thank you for everything!”

“The Bulls head go above and beyond to make your every run as smooth as possible Amy and Jane are incredible. Food is amazing stuff are so helpful and polite would thoughly recommend for any event. We had our engagement party there, my 50th I have been to christening parties and now my friend just had her hen party there. The hotel is absolutely stunning. The rooms are amazing.”

“The lager was brilliant, ended up spending like a hundred quid but it was worth it. The inside looks old but unique and the outside seating is very spacious too. Nice beer garden with various decorations as well.”

“Traditional pub, varied but quite short (in a good way) menu. We are not talking about nouvelle cuisine, but standard pub food with a couple of quality fish options.”

“We have visited here many times, simply because of the location, the food, the pub itself and the great service. Almost every time we visit, we are served by the lovely Angela. She always remembers us and greets us with a friendly smile. She has a wonderful sense of humour and always makes our visit a pleasure along with her lovely customer service. Will be visiting many more times in the future”

“One of the best roasts I had in my life! I picked the Bickley Arms to celebrate my bday and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone was ok. The pub is huge and very pram friendly too. I’ll be back ;)”

“Father's Day lunch here today. Through no fault of their own they were understaffed but the team did a fantastic job of picking up the slack and looking after their customers. Food was excellent (highly recommend the triple roast and the smoked salmon and fennel salad) and we will be returning. Service by Dee was first class. Thank you!!”

“Friendly owner and has essential items.”

“Coffee Haven is a very welcome addition to the Walden Road/Elmstead area! My wife and I very much enjoy their coffee, cakes and lunches, especially as we are working from home a lot these days. Check them out if you’re in the area!”

“We hosted our daughter’s 1st Birthday party in the Star’s private function room (a beautiful room). Elle did a fantastic job and ensured that the day ran smoothly! I had a lot of specific asks and requests and Elle did a great job in fulfilling them. Communication from booking to the event itself was great. On the day Elle pre-empted all our needs, the chef was great, food was lovely and the service from the staff was very friendly. We will definitely be back for the next big celebration!”

“Great little shop. Staff are lovely!”

“Gary was so friendly and welcoming. Excellent vegan sausage roll and oat milk latte (which I had never liked prior to trying it here but was offered a try of!). Lovely little place to sit in some winter sun”

“Absolutely loved it. I had coffee with teacakes with the foxes in the garden. Just don't try to pet them though, unless you have a rabies shot. Also very nice crowd every time I go. PS: I had a fire breather performing on my Bday. Beat this.”
