The 30 Best Cozy cafe in Surbiton

“It is a lovely place where me and my friends have went for the past year in between our lessons in sixth form. The Owner is always incredibly friendly and kind and the food tastes incredible no matter the day (especially the panini’s and milkshakes). I would greatly recommend it as a stop for if you want a quick drink or are looking for a nice bite to eat with a friendly atmosphere.”

“Wow, the most delicious feta mini quiche ever! What a find! So much to choose from beautifully presented sweet and savory produce too. Lovely smiling staff. A wonderful surprise find for morning coffee with "pastries". Good value for money and quick service. We ate in, relaxing at the window bar seating, happily watching the rain! Highly recommended ( take away available too). JM”

“Superb nosh! Excellent Spanish omelette, just what the doctor ordered! Friendly guy taking the orders too.”

“Excellent service by the hostess, nice coffee and pastisseries”

“A lovely little place tucked away by Surbiton station with a vast array of vegatarian options and a cosy, friendly feel. I had Foul-bil-Laban and a mint tea, both of which arrived quickly. My meal was not only delicious, super flavourful and fresh tasting, but a very generous portion! Definitely recommend, whether for a lunch or just a coffee break, as their drinks and dessert menus were also quite extensive and tasty looking.”

“I’ve visited a few times in the last month, predominantly to grab coffee and work. The staff are always very friendly and last time I visited with my partner, we were given a free pot of Persian tea, which was delicious. The coffee (particularly cappuccino) is excellent, as are the smoothies. The food is very good on the whole, though I would personally prefer the bacon fried or grilled. Would highly recommend popping by for a coffee and breakfast/brunch.”

“Very good quality food and drink. Quickly served. My husband had the chicken kiev with chips and salad whist i had the prawn salad. Both meals were perfect and hot. The kiev still contained the garlic butter, something i never seem able to do and the chips crispy. My salad looked like the photo on the menu barring one thing. The prawns had sauce on them and were not plain as shown. This turned it into one huge prawn cocktail which i didn't mind at all. With a £20 bill i consider this great value for money.”

“Iv been wanting to come here for a long time and each time something has came up. I went there with my wife and I had pie and mash as I'm originally from east London and it did not disappoint. My wife had egg on toast and the lady ask how she wanted it and made it perfectly. I will definitely be going back.”

“Decent cafe a bit pricey that's all”

“A true gem among Tolworth cafes. Great atmosphere, lovely food (you gotta try their fish&chips!) and astonishingly low prices. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The cafe is wheelchair accessible with a dedicated parking space for Blue Badge holders. Would recommend to anyone!”

“Excellent cafe if you are hungry, one of the best, unfortunately ruined by the council taking away the parking outside which has affected their business, but then councils couldn't care less but they still want their business tax.”

“We had a lovely time here at Harts. Food and drinks were great. Good portion sizes, the food was hot and the staff were very attentive. The only criticism would be that the spotlights are incredibly bright and harsh but that of course is no fault of the staff! Just maybe something that could be looked at,”

“Fatjona is one of the most loveliest hairstylist there with so much patience and an eye for detail. She is a perfectionist and makes sure that she makes her client feel special and gives the most amazing service I have experienced. Fatjona is an asset to this salon. 5 stars for her!”

“Best cooked breakfast ever! Cooked to perfection - lovely crispy bacon, sausages to die for, beautiful runny egg and a gorgeous grilled tomato. The price was only £4.80 which was such good value for money, friendly staff and a good vibe. Liked it so much we came back the following day for a repea performance!”

“Very good quality and price very reasonable. Good quick service clean”

“Excellent place for Sheesha. Authentic place, tasty Sheesha! Nice booths with screens. Staff very friendly. A great place to just hang out, good music playing.”

“I had my 40th here and it was excellent! The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. The spaces are a good size, I was allowed to decorate the area and the food was brought out on time and was delicious. I would certainly recommend The Elm if you are looking to mark an occasion, or even for a meal as it was so good. Thanks all!”

“Great place for a lovely breakfast in sunny day have indoor and outdoor area. Very friendly owner. Nice coffee and panini! Very good price. May find free parking nearby!”

“Super Americano coffee, friendly staff - clean and hygienic - genuinely deserve support - ideal for Autoglass across the road.”

“We are a regular customer for teas and coffees and it’s our first year getting our Christmas tree. Wonderful, friendly service. We had a lovely experience picking our tree and the staff made it very special for our kids. 100% recommend it”

“Delicious food, I got the chicken wrap and chilli momo dumplings which were absolutely amazing, i would definitely be coming back for the dumplings. The staff were very friendly and great service”

“The food was excellent, atmosphere fantastic and staff wonderful. It was amazing”

“All I can say is bellisima!! I have been wanting to try The Roasting for quite sometime. It is definitely worth the wait. The coffee was great and the pistachio croissant was absolutely fabulous. It’s one of the nicest pastries I had. The prices were also decent and affordable. Service is also great. The guy helped me to choose pastries by giving me an idea of what each of them were and he also gave me a drink recommendation. I will definitely come back to try the other stuff.”

“A pub I've been meaning to write up for a while but haven't been too sure on when to dive into it. It's a local community pub, one of the very few independent ones in the area, but one I barely frequent, and I've not really got a good reason as to why. The first trip I went here, it was a cold covidy afternoon, and I was relegated to the sea of sofas in the garden. Collected together, like the aftermath of a flood having ripped through the front rooms of an entire village, a mish mash of the comfiest seats a pub garden has ever seen. To get there you'd need to hop on through the pub, greeted by locals playing board games with a nod, a lone bloke chewing the ear off the bar staff about the complexities of the Marvel universe pausing only to let you order, or a live band in the corner on Thursday & Sundays. A beer fridge is well stocked, keg beers are your accessible macro gear, but most come for the ale. Expertly kept rotating cask selection; you'll typically find Oakham, Surrey Hills or a couple of obscurer local breweries. Invariably served with a sparkler. The pub itself dates back to the late 1800s, and even used to have a small brewery on site, but it's only since Liz and Adam took it over that it's become this beacon of light amongst a sea of Young's pubs. It won multiple CAMRA awards in the mid 2010s, and continues to champion quality ale. Food wise they've chopped and changed. BBQ burger nights, slow pulled meats and veggie options, cheese nights too, and on the weekend I went they had "Emma" (forgot the IG tag), churning out Middle Eastern dishes, orders coming in early doors on a Sunday. Bar snacks knocking about, but few pubs in the area offer their location up to pop-ups, so it's nice to see the variety. It's a cosy place, you'll not find another one like it really, and to get 2 (good) pints south of a tenner in these parts is worthy of praise alone. Having done almost double digit visits now, I've never had the same experience twice in terms of locals, beers, Rona rules and food, yet the vibe remains the same. Welcoming, hospitable and inviting - a pub fully deserving of all the praise the locals have bestowed upon it.”

“If you are in the area you have to visit "The Antelope". The selection of drinks is just great. If you don't know what to drink or if you don't know a beer or cider, you may taste as long as you need to find your perfect drink. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is great. Music is presented by a vinyl-record-player! We didn't have any food, but the kitchen was busy and everbody who had food looked very happy. Place to be!”

“Popped in for lunch on the spur of the moment and thank goodness we did. We were greeted warmly and given the menu and chose, I had lamb souvlaki which was absolutely delicious, the chunks weren't massive like in other restaurants which I don’t like, they were cooked to perfection with strong Mediterranean flavours, my wife had a salad that had avocado and Halloumi with a trio of dips to go with again the flavours were perfect, the atmosphere was great and we will definitely be going again as it’s local for us. Thanks for a wonderful lunch”

“The food here was absolutely delicious, with amazing quality and authentic Italian flavors. The ambience was warm and welcoming, making the stay even more enjoyable. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful, which made the experience feel truly special. Highly recommended!”

“Nice traditional pub with great staff and service. Also darts and a pool table!!”

“What a wonderful group Christmas meal we have just had. The food was generous and delicious. The printing of nameplates with food choice of each guest was genius. Festive decorations and crackers to pull made the atmosphere lovely and christmassy. Being able to pay with cash also helped for those without bank accounts!”

“My partner and I hired out a space in The Victoria for our leaving party and we had such an amazing experience. We initially booked the outside space however due to the weather being awful, they were able to move us inside last minute. Millena the manager was so helpful and was there for any assistance throughout the day, and the staff were so lovely and accommodating. Everyone had such a great day. The drinks and food from the burger shack was amazing. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of hiring out a space for a party!”
