The 20 Best Cafes in Guildford

“Good good, prices and service. Pretty front of building. A little gust of cold when the front door opens. Plenty of space between tables. Easy to hear yourself to speak. Easy to find in Guildford. Good attention to allergens.”

“It says a lot that I'm willing to walk all the way through town just to buy something from them”

“Went for breakfast. Two big breakfast. Cooked perfectly. Fried slice with two perfect eggs. Delish. Baked beans just right. And mushrooms seasoned with the right amount of salt and pepper. Can’t wait for next time.”

“Have been here multiple times with friends and have never had a bad visit. The food is cooked well and very reasonably priced!”

“A perfect Friday lunch in the garden of the Guildford Arms Pub. The food, drink and service was excellent and we will be back! The roast Hispi cabbage with kimchi was so delicious!!! One of our favourite pubs in SE London.”

“We had a wonderful 70th birthday celebration at the HarBar. Thank you to all the staff who were friendly and efficient & the food was brilliant. The day was made perfect by being sunny and out on the lovely terrace. We look forward to returning.”

“Alex and the team are so lovely. We used to always get ham and cheese paninis. 10/10 ♥️”

“Friendly staff, good coffee and sandwiches. It's nice that they serve coffee with a small cookie. Also tidy and clean inside and comfy chairs.”

“Visited last Monday during a week-long stag celebration and wow what a hidden gem! The garlic bread is quite honestly the best we’ve ever tasted and the cocktails were superb - and I think we tried the entire menu between us! Wonderful service, stayed open for us too. We can’t thank you enough, will definitely visit again if in the area!”

“I just bought an absolute amazing roll from here. The girl behind the desk was brilliant. I really think she needs to try peanut butter and mayonnaise in a roll or sandwich. Lol. Amazing place. Great staff. I'll be back”

“Strongly recommend. A great place to chill and/or get some work done. Friendly and kind. Nov 25 update: even better now. Places to sit and work, nice big windows, free parking.”

“A truly wonderful service. Everyone was considerate, helpful and explained everything clearly and in detail. There was no unnecessary hanging around and all procedures could be conducted in one place. A shining example of what the NHS can do when adequately funded and fully staffed. I feel very fortunate to live where such excellent care is provided. This service with these standards should be available to all in the UK - including men who also get breast cancer. Thank you to all concerned.”

“Relaxed coffee shop serving excellent coffee, with a nice selection of cakes and brunch options. Friendly staff, attentive service, reasonable pricing and a convenient location close to the centre of town make Krema the perfect place to stop for a coffee break while visiting Guildford.”

“Lovely and family friendly coffee place, we visit very often to get our morning coffee and chai tea latte, it is very dog friendly, our dog is always looking forward to a dog treat he gets. Food and cakes are also tasty. Glad we have this place in our area. Thoroughly reccommend it.”

“I went to Yvonne Arnaud Theatre to see the show Murder At Midnight starring Max Bowden from EastEnders and I had a wonderful time, it was an incredible experience to see Max and the rest of the cast perform live as it has always been my dream to see Max perform as I have been a fan of his for many years now so it was a special experience for me. We had front row seats which made the experience even more special too. Yvonne Arnaud is a wonderful little venue with great seating for shows and the cafe is lovely too, with delicious food and drinks and beautiful views across the river. The staff are really friendly and helpful too. Thank you Yvonne Arnaud for a wonderful show and for making my dreams come true with watching Max Bowden perform live, I send my gratitude to Max and the rest of the cast of Murder At Midnight for a fantastic show that I will remember forever!”

“I’ve been living at The Guild by Morro for one year now, and my experience has been excellent. I would like to give a special compliment to Gino, who has made my life so much easier as I adjusted to a new place. His professional service, friendly advice, and genuine support have been invaluable. The events organized in the Guild are also outstanding – they create a real sense of community and make this place feel like home. I’m truly grateful for the care and effort from the team, especially Gino. Highly recommended!”

“We came in on 1st November for our really early Christmas Do. As always Sam and the team were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was great and the pub was full. We used the app to order so didn’t even need to get up off the table. The food came out promptly, piping hot and was delicious, I couldn’t fault anything. This is a lovely pub with an atmosphere. Well done to Sam, Hannah and your team.”

“Hands down the best meat around the area. Always fresh and super clean. We get takeaway from them at least once a month! Great staff, friendly and polite.”

“Quickly popped in for a drink, ended up staying for food and glad we did! Food was tasty and authentic.”

“We were staying at The Harbour Hotel as an anniversary treat and so we decided to have a meal here. There was a great atmosphere on arrival, with the experience from start to finish being amazing. I couldn't fault the service at all and the food was absolutely amazing. Our server Finn was also great. I certainly would highly recommended The Long Bar & Grill.”

“First class attentive and not pushy service, sofa and bookcases arrived in tip-top order, sales, aftersales and delivery teams efficient, friendly and accommodating, will definitely return when we want to furnish the other rooms in our house. Highly recommended.”

“My sunday go-to coffee with my partner. Was served by a young guy at 11.50 sunday 23rd nov who had great customer service. Didn't grab his name but is great at what he does, not making you feel like just another number despite how busy it is.”

“Hadn't been in Next since it was in the White Lion Walk and was very happy leaving! I found a shirt on sale, and Susie was lovely during payment and had a conversation and a laugh. I came back later that day to exchange the shirt for a smaller size and Susie was totally understanding and was very helpful! Will definitely come back for any future clothing!”

“A lovely environment to have a tasty and smooth coffee. The carrot cake was also delicious.”

“The food here is very much a six star award. Service exemplary. I gave 4 stars for atmosphere because, sadly, we were the only people in the dining area on a Friday night. I guess all other diners were savouring the heady delights of a Big Mac! They don't know what they are missing. I would also guess that being an hotel people mistakenly have the impression that it is just that, somewhere to sleep and have breakfast before you go elsewhere. MISTAKE! If you like good food in clean surroundings with good professional service, then they The Mandolay. You won't be disappointed.”
