Cozy cafe experience in Croydon

“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.”

“A great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors—sitting in the garden here is always a treat. It’s a very friendly and welcoming spot, made even better by the amazing bartender, Ian. He goes above and beyond to make everyone feel at home, even learning a few words from my native language, which truly meant a lot. I'm always greeted with the biggest smile, and it’s clear the place wouldn’t be the same without him. A genuinely great guy who adds so much to the atmosphere. Highly recommended!”

“Really amazing place! Lovely staff and very chilled vibe. The quality of the food is exceptional - the best scones I’ve ever had and the bacon is a real hit. I really recommend and can’t wait to come back.”

“Me & my friends were looking for an English breakfast and came here to try it. The food, the service and the prices were really good. We loved it”

“Costa is a great place to take a break and get a cup of coffee/tea or just some drinks with friends. I rate this 5 starts because I love the food and drink at Costa, and I am so happy when this came to New Addington.”

“I had been coming to the Dog and Bull for years before the Refurb and always found it charming. I returned in May to a bright and vibrant garden, dubbed 'the wilderness' the new booths were a welcome upgrade and made the space feel substantial! Besides the cosmetic changes, I have grown to love this pub in my home town of Croydon even more than I did before! We've been so lucky to have an amazing summer and it's been great to see this pub so close to my heart packed out with new and returning people each week! I have been raving about The Dog since May and have invited all my uni mates who talk down on Croydon to have a drink with me There, they've all eaten their words and finally seen the charm that Croydon has that is encapsulated in what I think is the best pub in central Croydon! The staff are friendly and make everyone feel like they're in their local and they have live DJ sets, with music I wish more places would play (deep cuts of Garage, R&B, Jungle…list goes on). I wanted to write this review as we always complain when we don't like an establishment but never give praise to environments where we feel comfortable and want to return to so thank you to all the staff at The Dog and I'm sure you'll be seeing me again in the near future.”

“Great pub, friendly staff, friendly customers Dog friendly Definitely will go back again”

“I can’t get enough of this kebab takeaway! Their meat selection is not only incredibly delicious but also comes in truly generous portions. You’ll never leave hungry. What truly makes this place special, though, is the owner – a kind and authentic gentleman who never forgets to greet you with a friendly wave every time you pass by. It’s the perfect combination of mouthwatering food and a warm welcome.”

“It’s not every day that you’re truly struck by good customer service, but I definitely was here. Particularly Ashley who went out of his way to ensure every interaction with a customer was bright and welcoming!”

“Really affordable prices. Inside it sadly lacks character. It could do with reflecting its rich musical history with pictures of the artists and some text. Staff very friendly. Pool table and dart board.”

“Fantastic, fabulous pint of Guinness”

“Great Service, great food, great prices. Very accommodating if you want to take-away too! I couldn't want anything more from a greasy spoon.”

“I often grab a hot chocolate whenever I can either before or after work which is always top tier. The atmosphere is always good and the staff are extremely attentive to all customer needs. Highly recommend as the drinks are far better than those which neighbour them (mainly Starbucks). The facilities are also always clean and checked on a frequent basis. Shoutout to the ladies that were working this evening (after 6pm) they even grabbed me a croissant and cooked it downstairs for me. Exceptional service⭐️”

“A pleasant coffee stop along the parade of shops in Limpsfield Road. It is bright and spacious inside, and service was friendly and efficient. The wi-fi wasn't working when I went so they couldn't take card payments.”

“Spot on. Main meal and desert were just great. Good atmosphere. Sport on the screens for those that want it (not me) but background music playing even while a quiz was going on (just how I like it) friendly staff. 10 out of 10.”

“Great atmosphere, bar staff are tremendous and always very welcome there.”

“I have been there for Life in UK test, easy to find, close to buses and stress free checking in. Friendly staff members and overall great experience”

“Cosy Coffee Shop & Restaurant at Saint George's walk mall,Delicious food selection also Full English breakfast all day.”

“When they are selling food it's delicious but this isn't often. Lovely garden and nice pub”

“Best mocha I've ever had no added suger needed...I normally have to add 2”

“Propee boozer. Cheap drink. Good crowd of people. Can't beat it. There ain't many good ol' school pubs like this about anymore. Best pint in Croydon at the best price.”

“I visit this Cafe Nero often and Alex in particular is always attentive and makes the best coffee he is always super focused when you walk in. Today, I walked in after a long day and got a coffee and a cornflake tart even though he wasn’t the one serving me he let me know that it had alcohol in and the other sweet treat didn’t. He is also very calm and patient when i am indecisive some days which he does not have to be! This level of attentiveness is very rare I really appreciate it. Thanks !”

“Nice and quiet spot if you ever want a chilled meal with friends and family. Reasonable prices for food + the garden area is great in the summer. The mixed grill is good deal is you like steak. And they have plenty of other vegan/veggie alternatives.”

“Was there yesterday. The staff are friendly, making good coffee. The coworkinng space is decent - the chairs, desks and internet are first grade. That’s the most important aspect”

“The best Chinese in south London!! Food is delicious and so reliable!! 110% would recommend. The owner knows us now and remembers our order which is so sweet :)”

“Great Place! We where visiting and some one told us about this Place. We did not have reservations. We did not have to wait long for a table. Food was great and Staff very friendly. Thank you to the Manager ( Andrew). He was sweet and gave us some tips about other things to do while traveling. We really enjoyed there desserts. One is mine... waffles with chocolate & vanilla ice cream, shaved chocolate, and strawberries. The other one is my Husband's ... Banoffee waffles... waffles, banana, toffee/caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream.”

“Was in Croydon for the day, googled for a work friendly cafe and found this gem. Great atmosphere but even better service and friendly staff, the jacket potato packed way more than I bargained for, for £5 for a chilli con-carne and cheese and £2.30 for an Americano. If you’re in the area and need to work make sure to get down here, it’s perfect.”

“This Starbucks is amazing! The staff are so awesome and friendly. Special shoutout to all the team including ; Jake, Reis, Maryam, Priya, Prince, and Farzin. Keep up the good work!”
