Amor Amora in Guildford

It's one of my favourite places in Guildford. Beautiful decoration, very polite staff and food and drinks are delicious.

Lovely staff, beautiful hidden terrace, a hidden jem, chandeliers and fairy lights makes such a good atmosphere! faveourite cafe definatley coming back x

Delicious food and exceptional coffee. Glorious secret sun terrace out the back. And friendly team. We need to support businesses like this, or we’ll be stuck with chains only, and gems like this will not stay.

Brilliant breakfast in here it is pricey yes but everywhere you go in Guildford Is pricey at least this place gives you a excellent breakfast superb quality ingredients delicious sausages farm house eggs nice high quality perfectly cooked bacon it's also very filling too I thought at first the portion was a little small but after eating it I was full to the brimb guess thats the quality of things really good breakfast kind service will be back

Unatmospheric and at the time we went, practically empty. Listless waiter, no smile, no energy. Ordered Croque Madame which turned out to be flaccid white bread with cheap ham inside - soggy and very unappetising - the price of which was £13. However, the coffee was good.

Small, intimate setting. Friendly staff. Nice home cooked brunch.

This has a lovely calm atmosphere, away from all the hustle and bustle of Guildford. I just had the fetta salad 🥗, (which was delicious) as I am on the keto diet. Very table good service.

I have dined at Amor Amora on many occasions but this was the worst experience ever! Firstly we were greeted by a really miserable young waitress who had an extremely bad attitude, I was quite taken aback. I went to order my usual D'Italia only to be told it was not available at weekends, despite it being on the menu and me having eaten it previously on my weekend visits! My daughter ordered a cheese toastie which arrived seriously undercooked, we returned it and were then presented with a slightly more cooked toastie but it was still underdone so requested a refund. My husbands cooked breakfast was fine; however the butter for his toast was missing. I didn't eat or drink anything in the end as all three food choices were apparently unavailable despite being on the menu so I opted for an M&S sandwich! Very sad as this was a lovely place to have a light lunch, won't be going back and I don't recommend it as it has gone seriously downhill. Wish we'd tried the Cosy Club instead :(

The decoration is marvellous, good attendance and wonderful food, 5 stars for sure.

Perfect breakfasts, well heated and delicious. Recommended.

Great place, amazing coffees and cakes.

Love this place, always a good choice for coffee and cute pics for insta 🤍🥰

Had a lovely time last week with some friends, wonderful experience!

Beautiful atmosphere, small romantic and exquisite brunch menu. A large menu of unusual but delightful coffees as well as tea, including matcha latte.

Nice coffee and amazing brunch options! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice cafe and great service - however, heard the owners take all staff tips which is absolutely disgraceful. If owner can prove this is not the case, willing to remove comment.

Adorable place with very friendly staff. Very nicely decorated and comfortable. Ideal for a quick bite or a weekend brunch.

Very average breakfast , pork sausages inedible, packed with herbs and garlic, one slice of toast each no coffee or tea ,one glass of tap water,one glass of orange juice. Price for 2 breakfasts 38 pounds , that's a joke ,I'm only giving an extra star because the eggs were decent Trust me, go somewhere else for a breakfast

I can’t speak highly enough about the wonderful staff here. The coffee and food is amazing but the staff went above and beyond. Highly recommend!!!

Weak and expensive coffee. Tasteless food and unhelpful service. No soup spoons and no ketchup. Altogether a poor experience. Complained to manager who dealt with it ok without showing any interest in what was wrong

Great food and service, lovely atmosphere too.

The pistachio and chocolate cake is worth skipping. The lemon cake was good though. Bit weird to run out of plates at a cafe

Our most expensive offer ever! £8.50 For two coffees. Although the place was okay and we were in Guildford this seemed rather over the top price wise.

Lovely fresh pastries, beautifully presented

Nice ambiance. Food smelled and looked good. Loose leaf tea was really nice. Big disappointment was the coffee. Just a Nespresso machine at the back. Not fresh ground coffee in a local cafe? Really surprising.

Beautifully decorated, with a lovely roof terrace, and absolutely delicious food. It's a little bit more expensive than you might pay elsewhere but the quality of the food and the experience is so much better than you'll find pretty much anywhere else in Guildford. An absolute hidden gem.

My wife and I have visited here on a number of occasions and have been very happy with the food and service. Unfortunately after last week 18th August (birthday lunch) we will not be returning. Although the waiter was a pleasant guy, he was clearly not trained to do this job. Our food arrived cold ( 2 x dishes of pancakes with ham, sauce, & poached egg). We sent this back and my wife changed her order to a savoury croissant which was a lot better than the first dish. Mine on the other hand was not and I did try and eat it but couldn’t. The pancakes were out of a packet and tasted awful, (I was hoping for authentic American handmade pancakes as the menu suggested). I would have expected the staff to notice and ask why their second try of this dish was not eaten, they seemed oblivious to this. we could have slightly understood if the place was busy but only a couple of other customers in there! As I said we will not be returning any time soon, shame, as we really liked it there. Sorry guys!

Beautiful ambiance, great service, average food, expensive! Ben was wonderful inviting us in till the end! He gave us a quiet space in the terrace and looked after us through out. Food was as good as anywhere. The croissants were similar to the ones you buy from your local co-op. Cakes were nice and moist, but had missing flavours. Portion size was good. The orange juice was nice and fresh, so was the coffee. I might just go back for a coffee only for the ambiance. Did I say it was Expensive? Yes my Scrambled egg with smoked salmon was £13 never have I ever paid more than £9

We visited this “epicurean” (ie. gourmet) café for lunch. The décor is airy and stylish, with an excellent selection of brunches and lunches, not to mention hazelnut and chai lattes etc. Oat milk, my fave, was available. It has a Mediterranean vibe. The food was excellent and well-presented and the waiters were handsome and pleasant. I had the prawn, avocado and pesto salad which was delish. Situated at the top of the high street opposite the Three Pigeons. I would recommend this as a place for lunch. An enjoyable interlude.

Terrible and expensive coffee. Basically milk with some water in it and a hint of actual coffee. Food was tasty and well presented but rather old fashioned and carby. Goat cheese salad + croque Madame + 2x cappuccinos = £37 For that price I could have enjoyed The Ivy.

Had an excellent Aperol Spritz in the upstairs terrace. Beautiful interior and the staff were wonderful and friendly. Looking forward to going here more! Well worth a visit.

Arriving here based on these reviews, we were taken aback by the stony reception to our request to see the menu. Deciding to proceed against better judgement, we were told we could take any of the 2 seater tables downstairs, which seemed a bit restrictive as none of the larger tables were occupied. The decor is quirky and a conversation piece but the layout is poor. We waited a bit too long to be asked for our order when there were waitresses standing chatting. Another customer entered soon after and referred to a terrace... we asked about it and were eventually told there was space enough. What a delight... suddenly we understood why the place was popular! Most of the staff were friendly enough, but desperately in need of training to be more upbeat and professional at table service. Breakfasts were great quality and we were delighted with the food. The choice of teas was rare and intriguing too.

The best tea in Surrey - real proper tea with great attention to details, recommended

A strange experience. I was here for a quick breakfast with my partner. When ordering, the waitress asked if my partner would like anything. We advised her he is fasting, to which she replied with emphasis ‘aah that’s a REAL shame!’ My partner then walked out whilst I ate as it made him feel uncomfortable. The service itself was far from friendly. If I hadn’t had a 4 hour journey home after I wouldn’t have stayed to eat. The lack of cultural respect was a real deal breaker. We will not be returning here, we we’re very offended with this type of service.

Lovely brunch, friendly staff 😊

Poached eggs and salmon with bacon are amazing here

Next ambience, toasted sandwiches dreadful value for money. Very plain pre sliced white bread and ham. Couldn’t do kids orange juice, so £5.50 for a juice for a 2 year old.

We found this place whilst shopping and it’s really nicely decorated. Had hot chocolate and cake - cake freely baked and full of flavour. Staff not so friendly and 5 of them stood at the back talking most of the time. We had to get up to order/ ask for bill ect which you don’t expect if it’s table service. Would have been a 5 star rating if it wasn’t for this!

Very good food and service. The warm sandwich was excellent, full of flavour. The croissants were fresh. See you next time!

Popped in here yesterday. Really liked it and will certainly be back the next time we visit Guildford. Super food and you can tell some care and thought had gone into it oh, and a nice cup of tea too.

Enjoyed a nice breakfast at Amor service and cleanliness was top notch. Will definitely be visiting again, big thanks to the owners hard work and consideration for her dinners its clear she goes over and above to make you enjoy the experience x

cosy atmosphere, great upscale decor, quick service, good place for a meal also great for quick tea, coffee and hot snacks

Not quite happy with quality of the products but ok overall.

My Croque Madame was the best I've ever had. Staff were lovely but only giving 4 stars as 4.50 for a tea and 2.90 for a teeny americano plus service charge seems a bit pricey ?

Always amazing. Beautiful upstairs area which is super in summer or if you gave a warm coat on is the colder months. Coffes and fabulous and the pistachio cake is to die for.

Guilford on a busy Saturday, discovered this gem of a cafe by chance . We were seated upstairs, great, coffee, and cake - and such a lovely place.

Great kind service amazing romantic atmosphere and music must be the best coffee I have ever enjoyed love to be there more times...!!!

When you visit Amor Amora, you'll just go back for more!! The homemade cake is just too good to miss, decor is fantastically quirky and homely. 10 Stars!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Lovely coffee and homemade cakes, good size servings, both Sevilla and pistachio cakes were excellent.

Lovely coffee and homemade cakes, 😋😋

I had the full breakfast called The Guilford. It was cooked perfectly. Two Local Organic Fried Eggs, Pork Sausages, Premium Bacon Rashers, Seasonal Mushrooms, Freshly Cut Fried Potatoes, Tomatoes, Baked Beans, And Lightly Toasted Bread. Staff were pleasent and attentive and the coffee was good too. Would definitely go back if in Guilford again.

Such a lovely coffee shop. We stumbled across it and had a lovely coffee, cake and croissant on the terrace. We had no idea there was a terrace upstairs, nice decor and almost felt like we were in a continental bar. We'll definitely be back.

Good menu, nice location but very pricey food. £11 for a Croque Madam!

They could and should have more vegetarian and vegan options. Otherwise, very nice.

My husband and I are visiting in Guildford and have found this little gem of a place. Food is excellent- fresh good quality ingredients. Plentiful. Great selection of teas and coffees. Lovely atmosphere. The poor review below is unjustified. It isn’t a greasy spoon cafe for a quick cuppa. Well recommend this cafe.

Hidden Gem in town! Visited her a couple of times and have started going through the menu, great food, presentation and friendly staff to compliment the entire experience. And the cakes, oh my the cakes! If you like something a little quirky and different, book yourself a table. If it's a dry fresh day, how about enquire about having your food or drink up on the Terrace! Enjoy 😋☕😉🍰

We went there for breakfast, and weren't disappointed. Good quality food and customer services. This was a bit pricey though.

So we popped in for a cup of tea. Maybe this was the wrong place to do this, but it did say tea on the sign outside. Anyway, the cheapest tea on the menu is £4.50, which is expensive even for central London. The waitress explained that this was for a pot. We explained that we just wanted a quick cuppa - might we share the pot. She said yes - between three of us rather than four. No problem. one of our number wanted a coffee. Then word came back from the kitchen that it could only be shared between two. Ridiculous, I thought, until it arrived - it was fairly miniscule in size. Then the bill arrived - with an extra surcharge of £1.75 for having shared a single pot of tea. Utterly ridiculous - and the £6.50 pot of tea wasn't actually particularly nice. I won't ever be going back.

Very enjoyable & unique menu, thoroughly Satisfying, highly recommended.

Really cute atmosphere with great menu choices and amenities. It's like a quiet nook in the middle of town. Would recommend for a stop off and a breather 🙂

Great little cafe. Really nice food, better quality than the usual chains, worth a visit.

Cozy cafe with great coffee, delicious food, and lovely staff.

Came for breakfast We have poached egg with avocado cherry tomatoes and asparagus and scrambled egg with smoked salmon with avocado Both were superb Service was very good Would definitely return thank you

I had a really lovely late breakfast here. With restrictions it was on the terrace, dry and comfortable. The staff were welcoming and friendly, it was my waitresses first day but she was being very well trained and I was impressed. My dish was Poached eggs on rye bread with avocado and lightly cooked cherry tomatoes, all in all excellent and highly recommended.

We love this place! We come here every week for breakfast (except during lockdown😉). Good quality food, coffee and very very nice staff!

Nothing special about the coffee or the croissant we tried.

I liked the coffee and the athmosphere. Very nice! ☺️

They do the most delicious hot chocolate and Portuguese tarts. I've been twice now just to indulge! I'll be back again...its local and too good to miss ;)

They make an excellent cappucino.

One of the best cafes I've been to. Great music, great food. Makes you forget all about Covid.

Fantastic. A little bit quieter and out of the way, which is great. Really good corona measures, that didn't feel intrusive or over the top. There are several different areas to eat, we chose the outside terrace with gorgeous climbing plants all around you. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Service was of a high standard and the food very good. The teas and coffee are excellent ☕ Glad we found this place and will definitely be back on our next Guildford visit. 👌

Very nice friendly beautiful restaurant ! We popped in for Coffee and some light food. They have variety type of Lattess ! Ordered a Maple Chai Latte was great! Food was great too. Very nice ambient to spent a beautiful afternoon in this hidden beautiful balcony.

Fab food, fab service. Great coffee.

Cake and coffee here was pretty bad to be honest. The setting is charming but the watery coffee and dry cakes let it down.

Great food and fab service. Felt super safe 😊

Popped into this cafe for a quick cuppa. Exceptionally friendly and good service. We’ve still not agreed whether the orange cake or the lemon cake was the best!!

Nice hidden coffee drink lunch whatever place in top of Guildford high Street, with hidden roof terrace

Best coffee shop in town, delicious food and friendly staff! Last time I tried orange cake with Assam breakfast tea! Yummy!!!

Best coffee shop in town, delicious food and friendly staff! Last time I tried orange cake with Assam breakfast tea! Yummy!!!

Last visited in November 2019. Tried to visit several times since but is always closed (pre/post lockdown obviously). Tried to make a reservation for my birthday a few weeks ago but my emails were ignored. Good cocktails but the server isn't very friendly...

Nice time. Coffee is good. Service is fine. Pain au chocolate was excellent. Love the decor.

Welcoming staff. Lovely terrace. Only had coffee

I really like this place, although I can see it has mixed reviews. One of the main things I like is the decor, it's really funky and unique. I also love the secret outdoor terrace which gets the sun in the summer. The coffee is good although the drinks are fairly pricey. I've always really enjoyed the food here, I've been for breakfast, lunch and snacks. It is a cafe so expect nice cafe food as opposed to a restaurant. The portion sizes are good and if you order cake you'll get a huge slice! Unfortunately I have to agree that some of the staff are not overly friendly, in fact some always look sad. Even though I am a very frequent visitor I don't get conversation with them like I would in other places. I don't want to get anyone into trouble but the staff do need some training in customer service and in making people feel welcome. I also agree with another person here that the tables could be rearranged to make it slightly more comfortable downstairs. Seating upstairs is much better as its more spaced out. But if you go as two of you the tables are quite small and when another couple comes to sit next to you, you do feel as if you're dining as a foursome! However, I do think this is a great place and I really enjoy my visits there.

Quirky coffee/lunch place. Fabulous atmosphere with lots of unusual things to look at around the walls. Pleasant staff and good menu choices

Cute place ! A lot of caracter, good food. Nice people around...

Nice little coffee shop with a good range of different coffees and teas. Also nice choice of food that is reasonably priced.

Love this place, personal and different. Will be back soon

Lovely breakfast and great coffee

This was a second choice venue for a light lunch to meet a friend working in Guildford. We all enjoyed the broccoli soup and smoked salmon sandwich and coffee and this satisfied our needs at that time. However, there are limitations to the menu as highlighted in other reviews but, in defence of the business, it is advertised as a cafe which is exactly what it is.Service was reasonable but not exactly over friendly and a close look needs to be made to the pricing which is toppy for a cafe and the service charge, currently added to the bill, discontinued.The premises are small so seating accommodation not easy but ther is room to improve and make it a little more cosy and intimate. This is a business with potential to be exploited with the right management

Great brunch and coffee/tea spot

Cosy, and not a bad breakfast.... But VERY expensive.... To be fair.... Should have gone to the Ivy!! And how many Cafés add 7.5% Service Charge... Overall a little cheeky, but not bad.....

Nice enough cafe/bar but the tables for two are rather close together. And we did feel something was not quite right when a table for four with a reserved sign was occupied by a single youth who seemed to be “family”. So, apart from redesigning the table plan, dropping the service charge ( you’re a cafe!), rethinking the winter menu ( one or two more hot dishes), and discouraging family from lording it in front of paying customers, management are doing OK.

Don't go in here unless you want to be ripped off. 2 small coffees and 2 small pieces of cake for £17 ! Costa or Starbucks much better value for money.

Nice place to visit, great coffee.

Staff are fantastic and the food is incredible. Their hummus is the best I've ever tasted!!

Great decor but the food and drink were bland at best and most definitely overpriced.

Lovely place just a bit cold, so dress up well. 😉

excellent value for money. Very nice home.

We stopped into this cafe today for brunch with our two hungry sons, looked pleasant from the outside. Although it's dog friendly which was appreciated, we should have pre-empted our later disappointment with an unfriendly waitress who seemed like she just wanted to finish her shift.Coffee was nice but we all thought the menu was a bit bland and uninteresting, I struggled to see anything that appealed from the breakfast menu. Eventually settled on their 'Guildford' to share with my wife, basically an English breakfast, whilst the boys opted for a Sundried Tomato ciabatta and a Ham & Cheese Toastie.Have to say the food was average to poor, my bacon was fatty, salty bitter tomatoes, two very ordinary tasteless fat sausages, potato chips that looked like they'd seen a ghost, two limp almost cold fried eggs and a slice of toast. I asked for some marmalade and another rather grumpy dour faced waitress told me they didn't have any 'marmite' to which I corrected her and repeated my request. A very tiny ramekin of marmalade was subsequently brought out - at most a teaspoon full. They boys said later they thought their food was boring.When the bill was produced I was quite surprised to see a total for £44.24 including £14 for the awful cooked breakfast, seriously? AND WORST OF ALL - they charged me £1 for the scabby marmalade! Never ever, anywhere in the world, have I been charged for a small dollop of marmalade.Adding insult to injury, service charge added onto the bill. When I politely told dour face waitress about the marmalade, she just stared at me like I had two heads and didn't utter a word.First time and last time for us at this rather ordinary soulless establishment in Guildford. Give it a miss folks would be my advice.

After a day of culture and the shopping in Guildford, we had a late lunch. As is our normal approach we went soemwhere else for coffee and dessert.This was an unassuming venue on the High Street - it was warm and welcoming. The portions were large and very enjoyable.
