"A CUP ABOVE THE REST" Many boutique coffee houses are…read moreextremely passionate about their coffee, we found Pinnock's in Ripley have gone beyond passionate. They have a variety of different strength coffee beans to suit your taste, with unique flavours. They use a drip process, where the beans are ground freshly for each cup, then using their drip method ensures a smooth, lingering, wonderful cup of coffee. On display there are freshly made, salads, wraps, sandwiches, an indulgent array of cakes and hand made chocolates. We found having brunch with coffee was so relaxing, as we comfortable settled upstairs, in their large lounge area. All of us in the group, agreed this was well worth the drive for brunch and will visit this venue again.

A visit here today and a visit to Taylor's a couple weeks ago has most certainly given me the…read moreconfidence that after a year's worth of living in Surrey, the London coffee revival is slowly, surely and sustainably moving down to the south-west. Pinnock's has the amazing combination of quaint cottage house with spectacularly modern coffee and food. The coffee here is supplied by Beanberry Coffee a local micro coffee roaster in Woking and specific blends are created for Pinnock's use. Additionally, it's fair to note that this place only serves "drip" or "filter" coffee. They use V60s (for the coffee connoisseur) but a range of Beanberry's blends and single origins, so it makes for a range and variety of coffees to choose from. The food here is also of good note. We had a sausage roll, and a sausage baguette, both were not greasy nor overly salty as some of these usually go. The proprietors are friendly, and the staff attentive. Sit upstairs for a wonderfully cosy living room feel and an incredibly relaxed atmosphere. Downstairs, the seating is more formal and cafe like. Congrats on their first year alive, and to many more years of good coffee in Surrey please.

G!ro cycles is a new cafe on the edge of Esher's high street that combines the quintessential coffee + cycle. The atmosphere is busy and full of cyclists finishing group rides when we head in on a Sunday mid morning. Coffee here is served by trained baristas and matches the quality and standard of other independent coffee shops in the area. At the rear is a bike shop teeming with independent bike gear, unlike your chain stores in Guildford and Chertsey. Service is friendly even when time is short and the baristas are well trained and pump out drinks briskly and with ease. Coffee is provided by a local roaster, Beanberry, and is of fine quality. Overall, a great experience. Time to find work from home days so that I can head over and work from this awesome place.

I can't believe there are only 2 reviews on this place! Then again, it's a cyclist cafe so I'm…read moreguessing most people who come here just chill, eat, and go. Don't be fooled by the lack of reviews. This place is buzzing. It's honestly a standard cafe size but it becomes packed quickly after a cycling event, before lunch time on the weekends, or right after work. They're menu is predominantly health focused which means you get an array of hip smoothies, oatmeal on the go, and avocado toast. I'm honestly the biggest fan of their coffee. Being a coffee fanatic, I get picky but Giro's is strong and delicious. They also have a diverse list of milk alternatives which is always a plus. I can't speak for how they make cappuccinos or lattes but their Americanos are great. The staff are polite and friendly but they do have a tendency to blast AC during the summer months so go with a cardigan. They have a mini cycling shop at the back of the cafe which is cool to peak at if you're bored from working on your laptop.

So that is why I have just dragged my weary legs off to Hampton Court Sandwich and Coffee Company, and inhaled a piping hot parma ham and mozzarella panini which was the culinary equivalent of a defibrillator bringing me back to life. I like coming here because the paninis are marginally cheaper than the other sandwich shops. I also occasionally treat myself to the brownies here - large gooey, sticky slices of dense dark chocolate heaven. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and like the other coffee shops in this road, this is a stones throw from Hampton Court palace, so a perfect place to recharge your batteries.

The staff greeting us quickly and the toasted sandwiches here were awesome! Generally, I don't see much difference between a toasted sandwich at a deli and one I can make myself with my generic ex-boxer-branded grilling machine. Maybe it was the panini, maybe it was the feel of the deli with its wooden floors and health and rural vibe. Maybe it was the healthy fruit smoothie made on sight. Whatever it was, I ended up really enjoying my experience here and will be back if ever passing through again. Aside from the food we had, this establishment also has a very organic looking deli for fruit and veg which has a feel of an authentic farmers market. We didn't purchase anything as I wasn't in the market for vegetables at the time but it is a neat extra feature that will attract customers.

It can get pretty busy and crowded but there's a pleasant atmosphere and a decent choice of hot and cold food, for main meals, or snacks. The children's lunch boxes are handy, appealing and fairly-priced. I thought the cakes and brownies were quite enticing, until I stood behind the person who was replenishing them from his trolley, with a set of tongs, and then completed the task by adjusting the display, with his bare hands (eeuww!).

After several Google services, I came across Dotty's website, it is well put together and really grabbed my attention Seeing Dotty's in real life was like a dream. The establishment is beautifully decorated and you can tell the owner really invested in the place and the people who work there. There is a pink bicycle parked outside, the establishment is pink, the decor is very elegant--perfect for a photo op I opt to do the afternoon tea with Prosecco added on as well as some scones to go. It was a very fair price per person. Under £80 for the entire experience for 2 people. They also sell other assorted desserts, shakes and cakes All the employees were attentive, they explained in detail what our package came with and they made sure we were happy from start to finish.

I stumbled on the listing while doing a search for tea places before I left Washington, DC to travel to London.

Still, I indulged in some scones with cream and strawberry jam, paired with a strong cup of decaf English breakfast tea. The staff is very friendly and took the time to explain the drink and pastry options to us. I hope I get a chance to visit again for the full tea service before the end of my trip!
