Amici in Mole Valley

I've been coming to Amici for years now. I find the coffee great, and the service personal and friendly. My chosen spot in Leatherhead.

Called in here for a break on a long work related drive. Got to say Sanjay was so welcoming, polite efficient and friendly…top bloke. Had coffee and short bread both very good quality. Will end up being my go to place when in that area. Thank you.

Me and my partner regularly visit Amici on the weekends and it is our favourite cafe in Surrey. The coffee is great and we particularly enjoy grabbing a panini for lunch which is always delicious. Sanjay, the owner, is a lovely man and is so hospitable with all of his customers and makes the trip even more worthwhile - definitely recommend!

Fantastic breakfast, we both had the salmon, scrambled egg tomato and smashed avocado on sour dough bread, latte and a tea. Great service the staff were happy and smiley very friendly. A little gem of a place would definatly recommend it.

My wife and I stumbled across the Amici Cafe when in Leatherhead tending to some family business and looking for somewhere to eat. It is fair to say we struck gold. Firstly we were welcomed with a very friendly greeting and were made to feel at home. In addition the other diners also were friendly towards us. The service was prompt, just as friendly and the food was outstanding. It is a long time since I have had such a fluffy jacket potato and the filling of tuna mayonnaise was delicious. The pastry I had for dessert was also lovely and the lattes were perfection. I literally cannot fault this wonderful cafe. Even the toilets were spotless and if I was local to the area I would be skint due to spending my hard earned money here.

I popped into this cafe today and I am so glad I did. I have never been to Leatherhead before and saw this cafe and decided to go in for a cup of tea. It is the most friendly cafe I have been in. Everyone seemed to know Sanjay the owner and lots of customers seemed to know each other. Sanjay could not do enough for each customer. I had the best cup of tea and scone. I would love to go back and would definitely recommend.

Sanjay gave us a very friendly welcome and moved our table into the sunshine. He couldn’t have been more hospitable. We chose two breakfasts one with salmon and one with Feta cheese both were 10/10

Amici owner Sanjay held a reception for me after the funeral of my mother . He created a wonderful and memorable expeirence for me , my family and friends to celebrate the passing of a great lady . Back in August 2021 Amici was the last place i took my mother for a cup of tea and tea-cake , From the next day until january 2022 she had many problems and her age [94] was against her . Nothing was to much trouble for Sanjay to hold this reception for me but really it is how he treats everybody every day whether it is just a cupof tea , a delicious cappucino or a tasty lunch so please call in and you will not be dissapointed .

Amici is in the Centre of Leatherhead, t’s the perfect place for a pause to enjoy a coffee or cappuccino (comes served with a Tuscan Cantuccio). I particularly like the possibility of sitting outside on the pedestrian High Street that makes the coffee time a little more special. Sanjay, the owner, is a friendly, attentive, and customer centred host. They also serve breakfast pastries and panini for lunch. The place is informal and affordable. It’s popular with a number of locals and Sunjay keeps a relaxed friendly atmosphere that is possibly the best feature of this excellent coffee stop in Leatherhead.

Excellent atmosphere and a warm welcome from the host. Brilliant coffee too. Very reasonably priced, and plenty of outdoor seating. A great place to watch the world go by.

Went in with a group of friends And it was a very friendly atmosphere and pleasant host. Nice food and coffee as well. 10/10 would recommend

Superb place hosted by Sanjay. Food and coffee excellent with great smoothies. Willing to try new things and flexible always listening to feedback. An experience.

Excellent variety of food, salads , paninis, wraps, . Very good range of coffee/tea and also Ice cream I would thoroughly recommend

Popped by on a freezing cold day for a coffee while out for a walk. Decided to also have a panini. Both were fab and great service. Will definitely be back

This is a very good restaurant when you just want a coffee and a snack or lunch. The owner Sanjay is a very pleasant man who will always want the best for his customers. It is also a very clean restaurant. In this current situation to see a small independent business offering such good service should be highly reconized.

Pop in if you’re in town!! Lovely coffee and food! I love the chicken and avocado panini! Very accommodating chap who really looks after the local community!

Having walked from Dorking to Leatherhead, we were very hungry and extremely lucky to catch Amici before it closed for the day. We all ordered paninis. I eat a plant-based diet so ordered the falafel panini without the yoghurt and mint dressing. I am used to eating very plain food when I am out, and will never make a fuss over what I consider my lifestyle choice rather than something a cafe or restaurant should have to accommodate. I was therefore surprised and touched when Amici's owner came over to ask what else he could add to the panini, as he was worried that the falafel would be dry without the dressing. He actually came back a second time to suggest additions to the sandwich. I ended up with a first-rate panini, so substantial that I had half of it wrapped up to take home for later. Recommended!

Sat outside in the sunshine and enjoyed a delicious coffee and shortbread with an extra biscotti . Friendly service . Bonus of 50% off at present. If I am in Leatherhead I will definitely visit again

Excellent cafe, with very good food and coffee, and cake and also you can buy icecream There is a choice of sitting outside or inside, Excellent customer service

If it’s busy you might have to wait a short while but any wait is worth it. I could happily eat his chicken Caesar wrap every day! With his lovely coffee. Nice prices too!

amici for some time now has become my local for sunday morning breakfast and for a lunch at times in the week . sanjay prepares everything to order only but always makes sure you have your drink while you are waiting . the food always tastes fresh and it is obvious that care has been taken in its preparation . either eat in or takeaway i recommend you use this friendly established cafe when visiting leatherhead and i am sure all the regulars you see all the time will agree.Brian

Had a wonderful lunch with my sister - tuna and cheese panini and delicious flat white coffee with my sister. Service was great and such a lovely guy. Fab atmosphere too. Will definitely make this a regular.

We just popped in for a coffee and were given a lovely welcome by Sanjay. The coffee , cake and service was excellent. Although small the cafe is cosy and inviting. We will definitely visit again.

This is a lovely cafe. Great coffee and delicious food. Friendly staff. You really don't need to go to the 'Costly' coffee shops, for this place is better

Friendly reliable service catering for the local and business communities. Superb attention to detail whether you have a quick coffee or linger over a bite to eat.

this is a very nice and friendly restaurant good service and menu, quite reasonable we use this very often and can say you will enjoy your visit

Lived in leatherhead for two and a half years now and this was our first trip to amici. It was taken over the last year and cant believe this was our first time for brekkie! It was lovely..laid back atmosphere ...warm welcome from sanjay the owner..cakes looked fab and the smell of cooked bacon...we will definatley be back for a bacon butty! i had a hot choc and my husband had the coffee..he said it was different to his normal americano but he loved it. We both had a toasted teacake..which were perfect..thry werent just 'shown' the toaster or grill! Must give this independant little coffee shop its great..you wont be disappointed! Oh the traditional little italian biscotti biscuits that come with your drinks are sooo moreish too!! Yum!! ☕

Nice coffee and friendly service.You can relax and read the paper or chat to Sanjay who gives you a warm welcome.

This is the place for serious coffee drinkers. The Double Espresso Sanjay makes is one of the best I have had outside of Italy. So a real treat for coffee drinkers. It comes with a cantucci on the side. If you prefer your coffee with milk the treat is not reduced. Just tell Sanjay what you want and he is happy to oblige. The artisan cakes from a well known local baker are far superior to the standard fare from the big chains. Leatherhead's best kept secret!

New ownership and plenty has changed since last year new look and great new tastes like the superb espresso from a brand new machine. The cafe sells fantastic home bake brownies, blondies,victoria sponge etc and all taste fantastic made by a local artisan cake maker.

Asked for a takeaway Vanilla lattes, offered a seat whilst we waited and a taste test before we paid. Delicious coffees, we were very pleased. Some flies buzzing around, but they seem to be everywhere at the moment, none near the food etc

This is a really nice place for a snack, full English breakfast or a decent sandwich with a friendly welcome...most definitely worth a go...

Thought we’d try this place that had been re-vamped yet again. Hoping that it would be great so near to home. Oh dear. Wish I’d gone to Sainsbury’s for a sandwich instead.

We went lots of times for breakfast and lunches or coffees .Everytime we had a lovely meal or drinks.the food is very tasty with an Italian twist . simpl;e and well cooked.the service is very friendly and the atmosphere very relax.Highly recommend this local cafe.

Met a friend here for coffee as our usual haunt (Blue) was shut due to short staffing

I ordered a lasagne for a takeaway opened it up when I got to work and it was a small portion and mostly lasagne sheets hardly any mince meat and lacked any flavour. For £6 for a tiny portion is ridiculous Im not surprised at peak Lunchtime it was empty! I will not be returning.

I have bought plenty of the chicken caesar or sweet chilli chicken wraps over the past year, both of which are delicious.

Fuimos hoy para el almuerzo con mi amigo era un relajado ambiente de servicio fue rápido y eficiente. No sé por qué la crítica es sobre como estaba muy limpio cuando fuimos en hoy! La comida era deliciosa y una buena relación calidad-precio sin duda volveremos! La señora que nos sirvió posiblemente la gerente, pero no estoy seguro parecía una mujer encantadora demasiado : -)

I wouldn't let my child eating anything at amici. Avoid at all costs,hygiene is paramount,and I don't think they are Italians but chinese also.

Vine aquí para el desayuno, la calidad de los ingredientes eran bastante baja calidad.

Este es un pequeño café italiano con un ambiente relajado ambiental y personal muy amable, perfecto para tomar el almuerzo si te quedas en Leatherhead.

Staying in Leatherhead on business recently I visited Amici for breakfast. It was acceptable quality, but it turns out the receipt they gave me wasn't mine; was for the wrong day (in fact wrong year!) though for the right amount. How this works on their audit would be an interesting question, but it means I can't claim back the cost from my employer as would normally be the case. So, if you need correct receipts, check what you're given!!

I ate my lunch here once during my lunch break from the office. Everything was just perfect. I had a lasagne which was one of the best lasagne I have ever had with garlic break and salad. Then a good latte and a very friendly chat with the Italian chef. I really loved the place and will pop in again with my colleagues.

This small Italian restaurant is right opposite the Travelodge and was open for breakfast Sunday morning. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great choice of food including the full English presented perfectly.

I went to this lovely newly opened cafe in Fleet High Street today and was pleasantly surprised by its class and ambience. The staff are very friendly and helpful, plus the menu is varied and reasonably priced. There is seating at both tables and comfortable sofas, family friendly with toilet facilities and free wifi. Takeaway food and drink is also available as well as self service and table service. It puts Starbucks and Costa in the shade - definitely worth a visit!

I often pop in here for a cappuccino and some biscotti. The staff are always friendly and ready for a chat. You can get lots of good stories and Italy travel advice there. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed!

I stopped for a bacon sandwich while Gill was browsing the shops. We both went back later for Macchiato Coffees and a Panini. Very busy.with a warm friendly Italian reel. Well worth a visit.

A good value range of quality Italian food and coffee that wont break the bank. Amici has a nice ambience coupled with warm, friendly and efficient service from the team. Since moving to the town in January 15, I have visited on several occasions and it is a more authentic alternative to the well known corporate coffee shops.

I visited Leatherhead with my wife, three year old daughter and 9 month old son. My wife spotted Amici as a potential lunch venue but this was initially vetoed by my three year old daughter, who had her eye on a pizza place further up the high street. However, as we were walking past, one of the waiters pitched the place to us and his mention of 'milkshake' caused a change of heart in my daughter and so we went in!The decor is a comfortable fusion of British modern coffee-shop / cafe and authentic Italian cafe (all of the staff were Italian), and we were shown to a family friendly table at the back of the cafe - service was prompt and friendly, with a high chair whisked to the table for our baby and our coffee, tap water and our food order delivered promptly.For a lunch time cafe menu, I thought the food was excellent - my daughter and I had spaghetti meatballs in a tomato sauce, which seemed to me to be home made with fresh herbs. The coffee was also very good - strong, smooth and served in attractively non-corporate cups.We also asked for a small empty plate so that we could share some of our meal with our 9 month old, I was touched by how the waiter conveyed this to his colleague in Italian - words to the effect of 'an extra plate please - it is for the baby so make sure it is spotlessly clean'.I have lived and worked in Italy and Spain, as well as visiting other Mediterranean countries, and what I miss about all of them is the positivity about food, family and children - Amici reminded me of that culture.

Visiting here for the first time today, was greeted by a very pleasant owner and the 3 of us in our party had some great home cooked pasta’s, furthermore the waitress was very attentive and checked part way through to see we were all happy, customer service was second to none, didn’t need to wait long as was good value, will certainly visit again.

I've been going to Amici for three years and seen many changes of staff but yesterday Sophie and Federica partnered up and created the dream team,both quick and efficient making the regulars very happy. As an aside the coffee is great in enormous pretty cups.I've also enjoyed many lunches of tasty Italian fare-home made lasagne is a must. Although Italian in the main you can still get a well made english breakfast with all ingredients cooked starting from scratch-you may have to wait a bit but it's worth it.Long may the cafe reign-best wishes Peter D

Came here for breakfast 2 days in a row. Very friendly and attentive service. Adapted the menu for children's needs. Lovely food.

good coffee -enormous doughnuts and a convenience store for european essentials. The Portuguese custard tarts are amaaaaazing! lovely friendly service and cheap prices

This is only a small high street Italian restaurant/deli but the staff are friendly and will make any food they can for you. We had a bruschetta and it was gorgeous. They take a little time to make as they are freshly made each time. The coffee is also very good and made as you ask (normally). They do have a 'Manuel' type waiter who is a little forgetful sometimes but he's worth the effort.All in all a cheap lovely snack in between shopping.

Welcoming and friendly. Excellent fresh food & coffees a surprisingly great find in Leatherhead! Has a few tables outside as well as inside seating.

Although nicely laid out it is very cramped and they must long for the warm sunny weather so that they can sit people outside. However very good coffee and pastries

I make a point of stopping off at places where I have been previously and had a decent meal and as my son and I were following the Olympic cycling route through leafy Surrey we thought we'd take in Amici's again. I have followed the reviews of this friendly little family run cafe since I last penned a review and quite frankly find it hard to credit some of the more negative one's including one couple who seemed to feel the need to write his and her negative reviews for the same meal. I can only postulate that either the reviewers live in a parallel universe or the proprieters Wendy & Tony had been kidnapped and replaced by alien clones at the time of their visit!!!! Anyway of the lunch. Being a creature of habit I went for a hearty Lasagne with a fresh salad to replace some much needed energy after the mornings cycling exertions. The salad was crisp and fresh and although I'm no expert on Italian cuisine -just ask the wife- the Lasagne was hearty and obviously homemade. The Ragu was brimming with taste and flavour and the bechamel sauce worked perfectly -when I often find it smothers the dish. Where the Amici scored again was with my son. Little Lord Fauntlerory wanted a simple Ham and Cheese panini and a Babychino and although busy the staff indulged him and provided him with just as he had ordered and still had time to chat with him about his favourite cyclist and bike manufacturer. I like this place, the owners care what you think, they care about the atmosphere and they have produced a hearty VFM meal on each of my visits. I had a long chat with Wendy the co-owner (mainly because I didn't fancy cycling straight after a rather larger lunch than anticipated) and it struck me just how hard it is to make a small family business work with rising landlord rents, council taxes and competition from the cloned ranks of Nero's, Subway et al. These guys work hard and make places like Leatherhead a more pleasant, vibrant place to visit and socialise. So hats off to Amici I will cycle past again soon and look forward to my very own little lunch spot. I know my son is already badgering me to go back..............

My experience of Amici has always been very positive. They have recently undergone some staffing changes, and the atmosphere is even more relaxed and friendly. My food was excellent, fresh, tasty and delivered very promptly when it was piping hot. The coffee is the best in Leatherhead, and always has been.

Bit confused over the negative reviews, I had a lovely experience at Amici and will be back. Pleasant afternoon with spicy Italian sausage penne (even better than Jamie’s and that’s saying something!) Good strong coffee afterwards…what more could someone want!Lovely local atmosphere and prompt service

I was resident in Leatherhead until 2012. I came back to see few friends and they took me here. We were very very disappointed. Firstly, it's expensive for what is on offer. All 5 meals were extremely poor quality and it was reheated with the microwave and previously was frozen. We all agreed we would never return. Also the coffee was water and I would expect something better from Italians. The food is lousy and it is very disappointing. I imagine Subway next door is offering much better food!

I've been to Amici a few times and it was never worth writing about, but the service today was pretty awful.I went with my wife to get a quick lunch and after being given the hard-sell on drinks, starters and sides we ordered two salads with a side of garlic bread.The garlic bread was 3 small slices, not great but not bad.I ordered the Caprese Salad: tomato and mozarella on a bed of rocket with a pesto dressing. What I got was 12 slices of tomato and mozarella with some pesto sauce. When I brought up the missing rocket the waiter examined the menu then took my plate away, returning 20 seconds later after adding a few leaves of rocket.My wife's salad, the pancetta and avocado, was actually very nice, but tiny.When asked how it was we responded that the portions were very small and that I was disappointed with the salad Caprese to which the waiter said that we should have got a pasta dish instead, then offered to sell us another salad. He even had the nerve to tell my wife that she was still hungry because she's 7 months pregnant.So there's a reason that Amici is the only café in Leatherhead that does not get busy at lunchtime. We won't be going back.

This cafe is like going to an Italian cafe in Rome! That is, the prices are rather steep for the minuscule portions and the staff give you the 'hard sell' to buy more!We went in for lunch, deciding to give local business a go instead of the Subway next door. The banners and display boards made the prices seem comparative to Subway. We were kindly shown to a comfortable seat and asked what we would like to drink. I was very thirsty so asked for a tap water - "and what other drink will you have to go with your water?" was the reply, accompanied with a dirty look. We ordered salads and were pushed to have the garlic bread starter. There was also a hard sell on olives but by this point we had had enough of the hard sell and made it clear that we had finished ordering.The food came and we were so disappointed! My pancetta and avocado salad came with just a couple of extremely thinly sliced pieces of avocado, pancetta and some rocket with oil. It was a tiny portion. The garlic bread was 3 very, very thin slices, which at over £1 a slice was not what I was expecting!! Perhaps in a gourmet restaurant, but not in a cafe! My husband's dish was the worst. His salad was meant to come on a bed of rocket, as described in the menu. Instead, for £5 he got one sliced up tomato, one sliced mozzarella ball and a drizzle of pesto. When he pointed out the missing rocket they apologised and sprinkled on a couple of leaves on top! Certainly not a 'bed'!!We both had to go back to work, so there was no time to complain or change orders and we ate up. Our waiter asked us how it was and when I replied that honestly the portions were too small he said it was because I was pregnant!! I replied that no, the portions in every other place we have been to are larger. He replied that it was because we had ordered salads, and he had tried to recommend the lasagna. I stated that at £6 for a lasagna and £5 for a salad you would expect them to be a similar portion size or at least if the salad is not meant as a main meal then it should say so on the menu! He said we should order another meal or a dessert! Hahahaaaaa! His puppy dog expression and bull**** responses to our comments left a bad taste in our mouths. His attitude made what would have been a stupidly expensive lunch into a stupidly expensive lunch which left us very very angry. What a waste of £14 for what was meant to be a quick bite for lunch when we could have gone to any of the other numerous cafes in Leatherhead.Amici - there are a lot of places to eat in Leatherhead and you are going to have to work harder to get repeat business.

Looked like it would have promise, but the breakfast was poor and used cheap ingredients- the smoothies were horrid, and the porridge was watery and had an an unidentified lump in it. Not pleasant- will never visit again

Went there the other day for a quick breakfast on my break from tge office and the food was not even cooked so just paid the bill and left! Will not be going there anytime soon!!

We had english breakfasts and also a spicy sausage penne. Did not enjoy breakfasts, the sausages were not cooked properly as they were still raw in the middle. The penne dish was not freshly cooked as it was heated up in the microwave, it was also very greasy. The decor is tired, peeling wallpaper, grubby walls. Was really disappointed as service was good and going by all the other reviews i had anticipated it being much better than this.

Giovanni and his crew will make you feel very welcome in this delightful little cafe, it offers some wonderful relief from the mean streets of leatherhead. The food is wonderful with a massive selection of panini fillings on offer, price is very reasonable, definitely recommended

Stopped in here for breakfast one day, had a latte and scrambled eggs. Both were lovely, really good service and friendly! Would come again

Does not look like much, but this place is a truly authentic Italian cafe in the heart of Leatherhead high street. The menu is small but true to its routes with home cooked traditional Italian meals, cooked fresh every day. Prices are very good and portions are large. Far superior food than most of the Italian restaurants right next door. . . . give this place a go, you won't regret it if you enjoy authentic Italian food. Little Italy on your doorstep. . . . .

What a delightful cafe! If you are after an authentic Italian experience in the very English town of Leatherhead, stop by Amici Cafe. The coffee is delicious with wonderful cakes and food. To top it all you will be served by it's genuine Italian owner.

A leisurely Saturday family bike ride and a lunch stop in in suprisingly pretty Leatherhead brought me to this Family Run Italian Cafe - and what a delight it proved to be. Bright and breezy describes the decor and indeed the staff and service on a busy Saturday lunchtime. With my terrible pigeon Italian I believe "Amici" means Friend and 'Friendly' aptly describes the atmosphere. Plumped for the homemade Lasagne with Salad washed down with a Cappucino with the kids sampling the more prosaic delights of Cheese & Ham Paninis and wonderful Babycinno's (what a great idea). All reasonably priced and we weren't rushed-which was just as well as we rather decadently succumbed to the Italian pastries and cakes on offer as well....Have to say it was a much more sedate ride later in the afternoon thanks to our bulging waistlines. Suffice to say we will definately be back again next time we're biking through. This cafe really is a hidden delight.

I have been eating here since this cafe opened. The food is always excellent, but I go there for the coffee, which is the best in Leatherhead. The prices are reasonable, and the selection of Italian delights gives plenty of choice. It's only a small cafe, which adds to the intimate atmosphere. It is my favourite lunch spot.

Service was fast and friendly. Nice china mugs for tea. Good coffee. Simple but tasty food. We had paninis served with coleslaw and tomato. Apple, almond and amaretto tart very nice. The chocolate biscotti looked fantastic, but at 4.30pm the last piece was being eaten by someone else! Very reasonable prices. Just more fun than going to big chain operation. Cyclists made welcome. Good for sitting outside. we'd be delighted to go back.The cafe is in the High Street pedestrian only zone
