Cafe 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.”

“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.”

“My 1st time going here and 5 stars isn’t enough. Khan really looked after my friend and myself. The food was so fresh and the quality was outstanding. The service was exception. We always had what we needed without being bombarded. The atmosphere is perfect with great music playing without it being too much! We will be back! Thanks so much!!”

“We used Branching out for funeral flowers. The staff were so welcoming and helpful. We had some unusual ideas and they listened and gave advice and the drinks while we deliberated were very welcome! On they day of the funeral were were absolutely delighted with the flowers. They were beautifully arranged, vibrant and just what we imagined. They really brightened a very sad day for us. Thank you so much.”

“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”

“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!”

“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.”

“Great new place just opened. Italian bites & cocktails, cool decor. Pasta was home cooked & tasted great. Long Island ice tea was mixed the way it should be... About time we had a cocktail bar worth visiting.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Due to an error, our food was delayed and we were given a full refund plus free drinks and a croissant. The staff were very upset about the error and bent over backwards to compensate us. I will definitely visit again.”

“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.”

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

“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!”

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

“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.”

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

“Since Jhona has been managing the accounts, my rent payments have always been up to date. She’s very friendly and helpful whenever I have questions about my rent. I really appreciate her support and professionalism.”

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

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

“Nice cafe. Croissant and Coffee were great”

“Absolutely delicious breakfast. Smashing poached eggs and avocado - better than normal. Stop here if in area or based at capital business centre!”

“Friendliest and most caring lady working there. Let me sit down and have tap water without buying anything, very genuine and compassionate. When I returned later it was wonderful, had a lovely flat white and just read. Family atmosphere without being too loud. Small and quaint, not impersonal and is very welcoming”

“Fantastic place highly recommend Tim Ria most loveliest people ever met.”

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

“Beautiful shop, lovely staff, amazing nails. Won’t be going anywhere else from now on.”

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

“Great spot for food and drinks. The food was delicious and reasonably priced for the portion sizes! Nice atmosphere inside and out but we opted to sit in the beer garden and enjoy the sunshine. Lots of parasols for cover. Super friendly manager who was very accommodating, checking everything was good for us and letting us know about a BBQ the following day.”

“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.”
