Had a wonderful lunch of paninis and arancini with a old fashioned pot of tea.

Lovely, quaint little cafe with gorgeous home made food, lovely coffee and very friendly staff! I had a pistachio cake which was really scrummy will definitely be going back. Thank you!

A truly delightful cafe that has outstanding food and some very friendly service! This cafe is a must go to. I think the best in Dorking. The food is all homemade by the owner and all of it is delicious. Genuinely amazing food. The meat pie was a big surprise as to how good it was. The cafe is quite small inside but has some amazing seating outside that feels private and isolated. Really can’t recommend this place enough!!

Clare and I had a delicious lunch here today and particularly enjoyed sitting outside in the garden. We had the vegetarian platter followed by pistachio croissant. The home made falafels were wonderful. The tea was served in lovely teapots. Monica gave a very friendly service. We will go again.

Fantastic little cafe, I’m so glad we found it. Staff are lovely, and the food was really good. I had the homemade vegetable minestrone, which was probably the best soup I’ve had. My husband had arancini that was very nice, and they made my daughter a cheese sandwich on request (no kids menu or highchair but not a problem for us). Lots of locals coming in for takeaway lunches which is nice to see. Will definitely be back!

Lovely little deli where we stopped for a panini and a jacket potato today 27/5/2025. The coronation chicken filling was beautiful, creamy and spicy!! Highly recommended if you have medium heat tastebuds. No complains about the panini either, lovely choice of cheese and bacon for the filling. Made to feel really welcome. Many thanks.

Fantastic place! A gem in dorking. Service was so good, personal, inviting, and the food was sensational. Finally! A beautiful omelette (ham and cheese)- large, real ham, while our guest of honour (Cassandra) had toasted pesto panini, and her mum had cranberry, brie and bacon toasted panini. Coffees all good as well. Will go back. Reasonable priced, no rush, lovely to just chill and for once not be ripped off, supporting a local non-chain small business. Lovely.

We enjoyed a really nice freshly prepared lunch. My arancini was very tasty as it was served warm with a small side salad. We're looking forward to the warmer weather when we can take advantage of the outside seating in the pretty courtyard garden to the rear. As always we received a great welcome and efficient service Monica and her team.
