Any restaurant located within the Royal Institute of British Architecture is bound to impress, and…read moreRIBA Cafe is no exception. While you might not even know that there was a dining area within the very official, government-looking building, RIBA's sky-high ceilings and open floors make for a very unique dining experience that can accommodate either a pair or a large party. While a bit pricy, RIBA's dishes play off of the aesthetic craftsmanship of British architects, and even the starters are a thing of beauty. And while the food might not taste quite as good as it looks, the well-dressed and attentive staff make the experience all the more enjoyable. Overall, head to RIBA for a very unique dining experience that is well worth the cost, however, it's unlikely it'll become a weekly occurrence.

It did seem pretty quiet when I was there, but maybe it was because it was summer, and not early in the morning. Also, it's straight across from the station, so there is that also. Yeah, this place gets my mark of approval.

Great little cafe/sandwich bar near the overground/tube station.

Everything in the cabinets looked fresh and the coffee is espresso. Although rather milky I enjoyed it. Blackboard with daily specials, recommended for a quick stop or hang around. No Wi-Fi but there are access points in the area which you may pick up near the window.

Not a bad latte here, and with the big bonus that it's not a 'chain' cafe, so prices are rather more modest - for example, a bacon and egg baguette with a tea or coffee is £3.95. Friends working nearby are regular users. They have seating inside and out and, while the view isn't very exciting, it is right next to the Church Street stop of Croydon Tramlink.

This is a somewhat cozy little coffee shop that turns into a bit of a lounge after 5PM. The space…read moreseems deceptively small from the outside, but if you go downstairs, there's an even bigger space perfect for chill conversation. The drinks menu is impressive with a full selection of coffee and tea drinks throughout the day, and a well-rounded cocktail menu for the evening drinkers. A simple selection of sandwiches and pastries are also available during the day. I can vouch for their turkey and cheese panini, as well as their lattes. Both are delicious and fairly-priced, despite being located in such a trendy spot for tourists and local workers, alike. As to the cocktails, I can't say much, though they do have discounted drinks- if you order 2 of the same one- after 5PM. And, honestly, I'm down with any place that has a good Espresso Martini on the menu. If you're going during the evening on the weekend, make sure you call ahead and make a reservation. They tend to get packed.
