The 20 Best Pastries in Beckenham

“Novi is the BEST espresso room / coffee shop in the ‘Nam without exception. It’s the warmth of the welcome as much as it is the delights within!”

“I’ve been a loyal Daisy Grey customer since 2023, and in that time it’s become far more than just a coffee stop for me — it’s been a constant companion through every stage of my academic and professional life. The team is consistently warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming; they remember faces, orders, and even the little details that make you feel like part of the community. During my undergraduate degree, the outdoor heaters kept me company through countless study sessions. As a teacher, I found myself back here on early mornings, planning lessons with a cup of something extra hot (which they never fail to get just right). And the outdoor plug sockets? They witnessed the highs and lows of my master’s degree — drafts, deadlines, and all. The coffee is always delicious, reliably smooth, and prepared with care. Their pastries are just as unforgettable: the croissants are always fresh, warm, and perfectly flaky, and the banana bread is genuinely the best in town. The fact that the staff remember my regular extra-hot order says everything about the personal touch that sets Daisy Grey apart. I regularly drive an extra ten minutes from work, even on my shortest breaks, just to get a Daisy Grey coffee — it’s genuinely that worth it. Daisy Grey isn’t just a café; it’s been a backdrop to my growth, a comforting constant, and the best local spot I’ve ever had the pleasure of calling “mine.” Highly recommended.”

“We live just up the road and thought it was a greasy spoon. How wrong we were. Poached is a postage stamp size gourmet breakfast restaurant. The menu is innovative. The service is warm and friendly. That totally know their coffee (fresh roasted beans on sale here too). A delightful place for breakfast (and probably lunch too. As a bonus they have a live train times board and do takeaways. 5 stars all the way.”

“Always fully stocked would appreciate if the house department was a little bit bigger but hey Ho at least it’s got a house department. The food is always fresh. The staff are very helpful in general just love shopping at Waitrose in Beckenham.”

“Love coming here with my son after school. The coffee is good, there is not much noise, there's parking space and the staff are lovely”

“Staff friendly and helpful. Quality of food excellent. Large choice of menu. Premises always very clean and tidy. As soon as a table is vacated, the table is cleared and cleaned. Would recommend Hutch's highly.”

“I’ve found my favourite breakfast spot. Having moved to the area recently I came here for the first time for some breakfast. The menu was great - there were so many amazing and healthy options to choose from. Similarly, they offer delicious smoothie options. My breakfast came out beautifully presented and tasted amazing. One of the best I’ve had in a long time. The service was super prompt and friendly too! Can’t wait to come back!”

“Lovely coffee shop really close to the station, not the place to be sitting on your laptop (my mistake) it’s hustle and bustle and friendly customer service is great if you’re just stopping by and having a good catchup. But wouldn’t stay for long as it’s a tiny space. Definitely recommend for good coffee and quality baked goods. Had the blackberry danish was so good I forgot to take a photo!”

“I loved this place. Great service.”

“Stunning Sunday lunch! One of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had in a long time— even better than some of the traditional pubs Uptown. The preparation of the vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy were spot on! Nice, busy atmosphere, with great service. Thanks!”

“Lovely fry up served very quickly. Very popular Sunday late morning so can be quite noisy. Clean and food piping hot. Outside seating also.”

“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.”

“Nice little spot in the park court yard brilliant for dog walkers and visitors. Nice menu serves stone baked pizzas with a few to choose from. Breakfast buns and a nice selection of drinks. Ice cream counter that also serves special dog ice creams. Very nice staff all the food is fresh and they have a selection of cakes and bakery goods. Well worth a stop”

“This is a busy park cafe. The coffee is very good and on our last visit my son had a huge almond Croissant which was exceptional. We have never had a meal but the menu is varied and what I have seen served looks very appetising. Finally the staff are friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit in my opinion.”

“A lovely little gem on the High Street and a great place to get some quick food if you don't feel like visiting a chain restaurant. The two owners are lovely and friendly, and the sandwiches are delicious with a great variety to choose from on the menu. Would definitely recommend for a quicker and cheaper option on the High Street.”

“The atmosphere is nice and the staff friendly. There is a good selection of teas and coffees. The cakes are tasty. Pastries are ok though. However we enjoy this place after a nice walk during cold days.”

“Friendly and flexible service with a simple but tasty selection of food. Their soup 9f the day and vegetarian wrap proved very palatable. We even received an extra slice of rather good brown bread on the house.”

“Great refit and staff are lovely as usual, could do with some background music.”

“Its quite hidden inside Clock House Rail Station, Exceptional customer service, and a beautiful coffee, the shop needs some looking after but nevertheless tasty coffee”

“It is a good mall where virtually all types of household items, ranging from groceries to other appliances like blender, etc. could be purchased.”

“Lovely staff doing their absolute best! Been multiple times and seen the abuse the staff receive from entitled customers, ignore the 1 star reviews of this place it's just rude people crying because they didn't get their way (stores have rules and policies people!!). Keep up the great work and I will continue to enjoy your high quality coffee and excellent service and personalities!”
