The 30 Best Quality ingredients in Croydon

“Great staff, friendly and experienced. Top notch food and coffee. Best place for a quick bite in Croydon breakfast or lunch!”

“I recently stumbled upon this hidden gem of a café tucked away on a quiet side street, and it instantly became my new favorite spot in the city! From the moment I walked in, the cozy ambiance enveloped me—soft lighting, plush seating, and the irresistible aroma of freshly ground coffee beans wafting through the air. The baristas are true artists; my latte came with intricate foam art that was almost too beautiful to drink (but I did, and it was perfection—rich, velvety, and perfectly balanced). The menu is a delightful mix of classics and innovative twists: I opted for the avocado toast with poached eggs and a side of their house-made granola parfait, and every bite was fresh, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients. What really sets this place apart is the attention to detail—the friendly staff remembered my name on my second visit, and they even have a rotating selection of local pastries that are baked daily. Whether you're grabbing a quick espresso or lingering over brunch with friends, this café nails it every time. Affordable prices, impeccable service, and a vibe that's equal parts relaxing and invigorating. 5 stars without hesitation—do yourself a favor and go! ☕✨2.1sFast”

“Visited a couple of times since restrictions were lifted. Very professional service with staff attending tables to take orders regularly. Definitely London pricing, cocktails will set you back £9.50+ a pop but they are delicious and pack a punch. And the food!!!...I had the hake, partner had the bone marrow burger - I have not had food that good since the Michelin starred Albert's Table closed down. Outstanding! You do need to book in advance and you only get 2 hrs per booking per day. Not all tables have heaters but vast majority do and 90% of tables are covered. On our 2nd visit the heater above our table wasn't working which was a shame because we would have stayed longer if it had been. A must visit for cocktail lovers and foodies alike.”

“The BEST chicken shop I've ever been to, and i visited many. The sauce in chicken wrap is out of this planet. Prices are ok too. Thank you guys. I only regret moving further of this place”

“Well stocked mini-mart with amazing Turkish food. The absolute best thing is Fresh baklava! It's just superb (photo). They also sell fresh breads which are yum.”

“Been coming here years and it’s one of my favourite restaurants, it’s a cool place with delicious food. I do wish there was a little more variety on the menu but what they do make is delicious. It’s always clean and the staff are friendly.”

“Good customer service. Great food. Fairly priced. Good ambience.”

“Been twice now and service is amazing. Drinks and food come out so quickly. Breakfast is so good - tasty, not greasy and worth the price. Also a huge range of options. Staff are also really nice and welcoming.”

“Met with friends to have an evening meal. All the staff were very very friendly and very efficient. Food was top class, excellent. Really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you”

“Tried out the famous chicken sandwich. Had so much flavour, salad and mayonnaise was so fresh. Staff were so great and helpful. Worth a try and every penny.”

“First time ordering from 08 Express and I'm very impressed! Delivery was on time and the food is delicious. Very reasonably priced. Absolutely recommend and I will be ordering again without hesitation”

“The food served here is delicious. I’ve eaten here a few times now and I’ll definitely be coming back. The prices are good. It’s a clean restaurant, with a big car park so it’s easy to find parking. I highly recommend!”

“was blown away by the vegan pealla the flavours unreal , Egzon chef the best . Demo looked after us gave us 10/10 customer service. Will be returning. It’s been a while since been satisfied”

“Great pizza at a great price. I love pizza and normally make my own, but sometimes I'm in the mood for a delivery pizza. I used to just get it from the chains, but wanted to try a local place so ordered their double pepperoni. Price was much better than ordering from a chain, the delivery driver was very friendly, and the pizza had plenty of cheese and toppings. Meat, cheese, and sauce were all very good, but the base/crust was one of the best I've had. They have a really flavourful dough and it was cooked perfectly, giving it a nice texture and slight taste of char from the pizza oven. Definitely will order again from here rather than other places!”

“The best Chinese I have ever ordered. Literally amazing, so fresh and so tasty, I don't think they even use MSG. Family run, cooked with love. This place is so good it is so dangerous. Love it!”

“The best Chinese take away in Croydon. The flavours are amazing, portion sizes match the price also. The customer service is great. Also you can pay by card unlike a lot of Chinese takeaways in the area. My go to is a Kong pow king prawn with special fried rice.”

“The cafe I always leave happy when I go. I feel like the employees are in a very caring family environment. The portions are a great, satisfying and clean environment.❤️”

“Nice people, nice service, great food. Was quiet but that was fine with me. Very tasty. Recommend.”

“Went out to do some work on essays for my degree. Café Davinci was great, I not only had space to listen to a lecture, bit also enjoyed a toasted ciabatta, Portuguese tart, slice of cake and copious amounts of tea! (All reasonably priced!)”

“Excellent service, well presented meals. Staff always friendly, always go the extra mile. Best in Seldsdon”

“It was a sunny Sunday when I visited here. The atmosphere was amazing. Polite and welcoming staff. Good quality food, freshly cooked on site and reasonably priced. Great coffee too. Will definitely recommend and visit again. Have facilities at the back.”

“I love coming here. I order an egg, bacon and sausage roll with ketchup every time I come. The roll is always soft and the filling is cooked to perfection. Best cafe in Croydon. The chef is an absolute joy. Good food and great people - what more could you ask for? If I could give 1 million stars out of 10, I would.”

“I jumped on the bus going the wrong way to get home from ASDA . When I and the wife jumped off to head the right direction we decided to grab a bite when we saw the Plough. They were only serving Sunday Roast and I am extremely glad . I would have hated to have ordered something else and missed this great dish! Being from Texas there is a certain expectation when it come to cooked beef and this roast didn’t disappoint but you will pay for it. It’s a bit pricey for only 1 piece of beef but the quality was outstanding. I will return for more!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Wallahi! wallahi! This has got to be the best meat in the world. I ate this and felt spiritual inside as though I felt like I was going to heaven. 100% would recommend.”

“I’ve had sushi from Tashi sushi multiple times and it’s very cheap and decent quality . Altogether this came up to about £12.40 which I think is incredibly cheap for how much there is .”

“Just had a lovely dinner with the family at Sanderstead Tandoori. Massive thanks to Jay for the impeccable hospitality and recommendations as it was our first time in his restaurant. The king prawn sizzler is a must try! Absolutely delightful. We had a wide array of curries which packed fantastic flavour and generous amounts of lamb and chicken. Highly recommend!”

“Azis (The owner) and his team have always strived and delivered on giving me and my family a 5* dining experience here when we visit. Been a regular customer here for years. Simply the best curry house going!”

“Visited here with my wife. We had a lovely time together. Each meal we had was delicious, tasty and appetising truly African taste. We even had to do take away. The restaurant is clean and serene with awesome service. Aduane Pa Fie.”

“Best chips I’ve had down south - proper chippy chips. Gentleman was very nice and welcoming, think I was the last guy in as they were closing. 10/10.”

“Delicious food - best we’ve had in ages!!”
