Cozy drinking spots in South 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!”

“Lovely breakfast, the sausages were the best around! And great prices too :-) Tony the owner is very friendly too. Will definitely be a regular spot for me!”

“Nice coffee shop in south Croydon, the staff are warm and friendly. The coffee is very good (proper coffee). There is a lovely selection of pastry's and cakes to choose from. The coffee shop also has seating upstairs & downstairs.”

“It's a great place for a micro pub good beer and atmosphere lovely people and staff kids and dogs all welcome still great”

“Came in with a group for a Saturday morning brunch, we were very well looked after. Food and drinks came out quickly and was all very tasty and enjoyed by the group, whether it was a fry up or a Moroccan pancake. Great value too! Thank you to Le Bon Café, looking forwards to returning soon!”

“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.”

“Always great service and nice food. Highly recommended!!!”

“We ordered catering from here last summer. The vegetable biriyani was very tasty and the chicken tikka also very good. Well packaged and the owner is friendly”

“Went here with my nephew for dinner he had the seabass very nice. I had the lamb chops they were tender and succulent also the wings had a great taste definitely recommend.”

“This is definitely one of the best Local pubs that I’ve been , the staff are really friendly and the atmosphere makes you feel really comfortable even if you are a woman looking just to have a pint by yourself after a long day , definitely you will be able to enjoy your moment.”

“Very nice example of the Wetherspoons. Nice friendly staff and clean toilets. There’s a beer / smoking garden at the rear. Use the app to order if you don’t fancy queuing at the bar. Refillable tea/coffee for £1.49”

“Not sure about the older reviews - I see mixed opinions; my experience with it - we just ordered from Rajeev after he moved to the Jolly Farmers pub. Food was very nice, arrived quick with no delivery fee and they’ve got a lot of mains in the menu that I never tried / you typically don’t find in most Indian restaurants. We’ll order again surely and looking forward for the summer to eat in at the pub garden.”

“I and three friends visited Crepes&Cones on Sunday 20th November unintentionally. My friends and I had planned to dine elsewhere, which was fully booked. Crepes&Cones was on our list of places to dine at in the near future, it was relatively close to the fully booked restaurant we didn’t wait for, so took a chance going to Crepes&Cones. Despite a couple of reviews saying service was slow and waiting time very long we gave it ago and so glad we did. Service was excellent and waiting time was minimal to be fair it wasn't busy, a large group came after us and a few more people later on. We had an amazing meal with generous portions. We started off with the red velvet prawns, absolutely delicious in addition to the roulette of wings, tasty. Main course didn’t disappoint, once again generous potion and delectable. Service was excellent. We were served by a young lady named Olivia, she deserves 5 stars for being attentive and hardworking, she made us feel welcome, Olivia made sure we were ok. Definitely would recommend and hope to visit again.”
