Coffee in Croydon

“Absolutely the best coffee shop around. Food is great, there are always a selection of freshly homemade cakes and treats plus a couple of quality savory items to chose from. The coffee drinks are excellent, they rival any of the great independent coffee shops in central London. The best thing about this place is the way it feels. It’s only little (as the name says) but it has a warm, lovely, homey, authentic vibe. (In normal times) there’s always a rotating crowd of people at the tables inside and outside, chatting and enjoying their neighborhood. When I moved to the area I found it hard to get know people but I always felt welcome here, wound up meeting the owners and lots of other patrons and got to learn a little more about the area thanks to the owners’ commitment to engaging with the wider community. Although they have been delivery only for the Covid period the tasty treats and warm vibes are still present. I can’t wait to be back in the shop again soon!”

“My favourite coffee shop! Super friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and great food and drink. Amazing!”

“Staff very friendly and amazing food 100% recommend”

“I have had twice latte on two occasions. I appreciate the service and product. However, the college needs more training on customer service. The manager is outstanding.”

“It was great the coffee was nice and the cake seems to be freshly baked when I came in”

“Lovely quite place to catch up with friends or do some work. Good selection of food and drinks.”

“Absolutely delighted. Came across this gem by chance with the Mrs, will definitely go again”

“Really coffee time. So friendly atmosphere, great coffee, great smoothe freshly made, also tasty cookies. Owners always make nice hot chocolate, ready to drink for small children.”

“Great staff lots of respect to yhem they work really hard and are always smiling and chatty Top marks to you guys n girls”

“Love Cappuccino coffee, it's the only coffee I drink as I'm a Tea person but I have Cappuccino when I go out. Love Costa from it's points system to it's cakss etc.”

“I love going into this Costa as the staff are really nice. Always smiling. The coffee here is always great and so is the food.”

“My option is that these guys who work here have incredible patience and education. I am a regular customer and I always ask them how they tolerate so much rudeness from people. the coffee is very good. I just have to walk through the door and they already know what to prepare. I have read comments here that they are rude. but I have seen situations where they are literally disrespected and they hold their own. I hope all Costa employees are like this team that works in this store.”

“Good service. Nice place to sit and chill for a bit. Coffee tasted great too. Perfect”

“We really enjoyed our stay at Leonardo. We booked a double room and paid on arrival, we were then told that we had a free upgrade to a king-size room which was a wonderful surprise and very much appreciated! The rooms are clean, light, and great-sized. The bathroom has a shower and a bath, with a lovely illuminated mirror. We had water and biscuits provided every day during our stay and a working fridge which can be used. There is a bar and restaurant which we didn't use but was always busy which is a good sign, and there is a small shop with snacks and drinks should you require anything. The hotel is situated a 5 min walk from Croydon East station, and takes about 30 minutes to get into London, making it a good base in my opinion. Equally, Croydon centre is a 5 minute walk and there is an array of places to eat and drink nearby. Would stay here again and would recommend.”

“I had the best flat white made by Gulcan, always happy and friendly! Thank you”

“One our favourite Surrey Street friends ☺️ The best coffee on the street, hands down!”

“GREAT STAFF…. Food and drinks always Serve with a smile on there face shop is always clean can not fault them always will go back would recommend…”

“Had the best experience in this store. The cafe area was clean and tidy and the team was lovely. I will definitely come back.”

“First time in this hotel. In city centre, very close to public transport, no car park but Ruskin Square parking opposite the hotel and the ticket can get validated. Room smaller than expected but we'll equipped. Service great! If I remember correctly the name of the staff- Menaj- went out of his way- evening and breakfast - to help. I saw another guest going and thanking staff for the service, and said he's been using the hotel frequently and they are always very helpful. I will definitely use this hotel again.”

“Friendliest and most caring lady working there. Let me sit down and have tap water without buying anything, very genuine and compassionate. When I returned later it was wonderful, had a lovely flat white and just read. Family atmosphere without being too loud. Small and quaint, not impersonal and is very welcoming”

“Very convenient to East Croydon Station. Like the flat whites. A bit drafty in winter as some patrons don't bother to shut the door when they leave. (Just avoid sitting right next to the door or dress warmly.)”

“Honestly best vanilla latte I've ever tasted & this is coming from a London commuter who's drank coffee at all sorts of places & big brands. Cheapest coffee I've ever brought and the tastiest!”

“Pleasant cafeteria with giant parking, exquisite carrot cake. Kindness and good attention by the staff”

“My grandaugter has a wall unit from them. Very happy with everything the support was amazing and very pleased with the quality. Worth the price”

“I have to say a huge thank you to the reception team for helping make my move here easy and stress free. I've been here a few months now and I have no complaints whatsoever. My apartment is beautiful, the views are stunning, and the building has all the facilities I need. Thank you to the wonderful Krina, Michelle, and Arnold for all your that you do. Having a friendly, welcoming and supportive team at reception make a huge difference. I hope your efforts and support don't go unnoticed”

“Coffee great - good service! Never tried the cakes - but they do look good!”
