The 30 Best Cozy dining in Croydon

“Excellent little place. Great coffee, good value, really friendly service and a very good selection (incl. GF, DF, vegan etc) of delicious cakes, biscuits, juices, sandwiches etc. So glad such a lovely place is just around the corner. Will definitely be back.”

“Finally a great pizza delivery / takeaway in Croydon. The pizza is very good, note:the pizza is not Neapolitan style. You can order online or at the place, the products are fresh and good quality. The desserts are also good. You can also buy Italian beers and wines. Recommended, I will come back soon.”

“I had an incredible experience at El Patio Spanish Tapas Restaurant tonight! The staff made us feel truly special, and meeting them added a personal touch to our evening. The food was out of this world, especially the chicken – the best I've tasted in years, reminiscent of my time in Spain. My mum and I had a fantastic night out, and her enjoyment added to the memorable atmosphere. Fantastic disbaled access! Highly recommend! Harry Wales”

“Great little bar serving beers and wines on the Elmers End Green, Enjoy a pint or two and a wine and nibbles while watching the world go by. Fleur and her staff are excellent hosts amicable and friendly. Great friendly atmosphere.”

“Very good prices and delicious food! I bought food from "Little Beijing" many times - not even once been disappointed. The staff it's very fair and square about what they can deliver or not, puting safety first of all and no quality compromises. Honestly speaking, it's a top one! And I've tried a lot before finding this one.”

“Amazing cafe, amazing quality food best coffee and loveliest staff, honestly we drive past maybe 10 cafes to use this one, well worth the extra drive! And definitely try the home made baking, you won’t be disappointed”

“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.”

“I come every weekend now, it is the best place to get a full English. Great staff and great food. Would recommend!”

“Best Cod & chips I’ve had in years, freshly cooked & the batter was thin & really tasty & over £2 cheaper than the local village competition !!”

“Le Bon Cafe, a popular spot for breakfast is an unsuspecting Moroccan restaurant which I have been meaning try. Finally went in but didn't try the Moroccan dishes as planned but will revisit again another time. To be fair, the Moroccan menu had a good range of the usual suspects like the tangine, pancakes and briwat. It seems the breakfast is more popular possibly because it is cheaper than the Moroccan dishes. I had the American pancakes with salmon and scrambled egg which was how it should be. It was served stacked which was quite different and the pancakes were thick and soft unlike the supermarket ones which you can buy. Will return for the Moroccan dishes so I can compare it to the ones at Shepherds bush which are a third cheaper.”

“I am new to the area and was looking for a good cafe; I have come twice now and the food and staff has been really good. The way they cook and serve the food is just right!!!”

“Opens early 6:30-7am, coffee is very good, big plate breakfast I recommend. Eat well here every morning”

“Can't beat Eddie's Cafe, it's simple honest good an excellent kind staff The breakfast is banging and alwasy served with a smile. We love this place”

“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!”

“Food is always fresh and tasty. The ladies are so friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend this cafe!!”

“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.”

“Highly recommend the wine tasting! Really lovely welcome from everyone, food was amazing. Really lovely authentic Italian. Can't wait to return.”

“My secret to a perfect day: double egg, bacon,onion and mushroom sandwich with a drizzle of brown sauce...The two brothers are proud in what they do - hard to find these days... and ask for runny eggs. My mouth is watering while typing although I just had a toasted BLT(on the diet - new years resolution. Still asked to throw a runny egg in it.)”

“Ponte Nuovo has got to be the best Italian in Croydon. A great selection of starters, the bread and oil is so simple yet incredibly moreish, and the main courses are full of flavour and depth. Big big portions. Save space for the deserts, the gigantic profiteroles in a sea of chocolate sauce, the insanely rich tiramisu. Staff are very friendly and speak highly of the italian chef and kitchen staff; a sure sign of a good front of house/back of house team relationship. Service was perfect, meals bought out together and well presented. This is somewhere you bring family for a great dinner. At this time of year it had a good but not overpowering christmas decorative theme. We're going back soon.”

“Good takeaway Kebab. I've been going there for many years. Friendly staff and good food”

“Me and my friend came into the cafe for breakfast, not expecting it to be any more than a greasy spoon. We were so pleasantly surprised to find such a gem. The place itself is big and modern and very clean. The staff were so polite and helpful and the food was yummy and very reasonably priced. I will be becoming a real regular here.”

“Have eaten in and had take away over the years. Always lovely food. The duck spring rolls are a favourite of ours. Nice friendly owners.”

“Never had a bad meal. Recommended”

“Affordable and good all day breakfast i enjoy it so much :)”
