Barista Lounge in Waverley

Very cramped but nice atmosphere. People leave the door open as they leave so keep getting up to close as it doesn't close automatically. Drafty.

Really nice outdoor area, which is great when the sun is shining. My partner and I had the falafel and hummus wrap from the specials board and it was very tasty. Overall, great little independent coffee shop with a nice range of options and good service.

Great service, lovely coffee and good selection of cake. Definitely will be going back.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff, but sadly the coffee really wasn’t good - such a shame.

Best service in Farnham xx Coffees excellent too!

Friendly staff who genuinely seem to care about what they are doing which is great to see, a little cramped inside but I find it adds to the character. Very tasty coffee one to revisit in the future.

Good food and very cute place! I do think its a bit expensive for what it is, but food was nice!

Lovely stop for coffee and a toasted bagel. Very welcoming. Good choice of places to sit - downstairs, upstairs, outside. Great coffee. Will visit again!

We came to this place as it looked very cosy but it went downhill from there. We had two “toasted” bacon sandwiches, only one slice was toasted, we also asked for crispy bacon on one of the sandwiches but it wasn’t. We were not asked how the food was and the service wasn’t great. I would say a bit pricey for what it was (£7,5 per “sandwich”). The lemon cake and the coffee were okay. We saw different lovely cafes on the same street so I would recommend having a look around first.

A friendly and warming atmosphere with lovely staff, delicious food and great tasting coffee. The hummus and falafel wrap was warm and tasted great. Upstairs seating in addition to a small selection near the window. Definitely like to visit again. Thank you ☺️

A cosy place with lovely staff. Spent a nice afternoon here having tea and cake with friends.

Lovely atmosphere here. Was served by Becky who was so lovely and super helpful and after discussing our likes and favourites recommended the Cafe Bombon. New on the menu and utterly delicious. Good kick for coffee lovers and slightly sweet. Thoroughly enjoyed it! The toastie as usual was delicious - hot, fresh and full! Thank you!!

I'm in Farnham on business every fortnight and I always make a beeline for this place. Coffee is always good, food too (have to be cruel to myself so I don't overindulge) and the atmosphere whether seated upstairs or downstairs always has a good vibe. Thoroughly recommended. 👍👌

Really friendly welcome and what they were really busy they all looked on top of things! Would recommend!

Lovely dog friendly coffee shop

Really nice vibe and ambience. Feels like a high quality coffee shop in ambience and decor with good seating, nice bar, etc. Unfortunately poached eggs were overcooked (not runny but cooked through). The juice on menu sounded like it would be very good high end juice but was not much better than orange juice and only mediocre. Coffees were good not exceptional. So felt like actual food and drinks here can be further improved.

Quickly popped in to get some takeaway bits. Friendly staff member and lovely pistachio and cranberry cake. The cheese twist (heated) was life changing!

Very tasty food, many options even for Vegans. Awesome service, great ambience and I highly recommend coming here.A*****

Love it. Been to Farnham couple of times now on "business"and always come to the Barista. Great food drink and service and a friendly atmosphere with everyone here. Lovely garden. Blond JO behind the bar is gorgeous in every way. She works very hard to ensure everyone is happy ... ..had to come to Farnham again but silver lining is lunch today at this great cafe. Jo serves me well again and i am fed and watered to high satisfaction. The eggs and pancakes are delish. 'thanks' to EE ineptitude i am back! a delicious tuna melt and some banter with Blondie(JO) has cheered me up a bit THANX...scott x

Great experience and great food. Staff were amazing and super accomodating! You guys are great!!!

Absolutely lovely place, staff are very kind and accommodating, has a beautiful atmosphere, music, and free wifi so you can do work here too! Great prices for coffee and food and (in my opinion) best in farnham!! xo

The best cafe in farnham love it here everyone is so lovely and the service is amazing 💕

Absolutely amazing place!! I love coming here especially before work at the chippy!! Lovely staff and the best hot chocolate in farnham!!

We have only started going to this coffee shop. Scones are so delicious. Dog friendly and friendly staff

Cant praise this cafe enough! Best breakfast ever i keep coming back for the smashed avocado on sourdough with poached eggs and chilli oil. Consistently great coffee, welcoming friendly warm staff and a lovely relaxed environment and ambience.

An experience I'll never forget, and by which all others will be rated. Lots of staff, too 'busy' to acknowledge me on arrival. Paid up front, including being presented with the gratuity screen! Thinks 'you haven't done anything yet apart from ignore me'. Waited way too long for a pot of tea. Tea had mostly gone cold when, after half an hour, I had to ask a member of the uncommunicative and sullen staff where the food was. No feedback, but some time later the food arrived with a barely bothered apology for the long wait. Chilly, mashed avocado on a stingily thin slice of sourdough toast, gone cold, on a cold plate, topped with a tiny lukewarm over-poached gone hard egg. The warmest and tastiest bits were the grilled / fried baby tomatoes. To eat this I had to get up and get my own cutlery as the staff seemed to have done their job! Nicely presented plate but for nearly a tenner on the 'lunch' menu it was dissatisfying. The tea was stone cold by then. One slice of cake with two forks, for my partner and I (who had a toastie, equally late / forgotten) and another half hearted apology arrived. If the place wasn't so crowded and had we not sunk so much time already I would have addressed at least the delay, service and food quality issues directly. The off-putting staff attitude and general atmosphere was rather off-putting though and another matter entirely. And for this, a gratuity was solicited.

Just had impromptu visit to the Barista Lounge with my work colleagues for a birthday drink. The service was impeccable, we were greeted by a lovely warm smile too. There's a lovely atmosphere throughout and upstairs cosy dining. Really lovely feel to the coffee shop. It was inadvertently mentioned that it was my birthday and after we receive our drinks, the owner came back to the table with a beautiful piece of coffee & walnut cake with a candle - on the house ! Such a lovely gesture and made my day. Will definitely be back at the weekend to sample the food menu. Thank you !

I dropped in today with my little grandson to get takeaway coffees and croissants for a couple of tree surgeons (my son and another) who were working close by. Yes was expensive but the service was exceptional. When we left the lady came out and treated us to a millionaires shortbread recognising that I had spent quite a lot. We were both just blown away - my young grandson said "what a nice thing to do" You've got yourself some new customers x

This is a hidden treasure in Farnham. A lovely location with beautiful views of St Andrew’s church and a lovely garden. Everyone of the staff are warm and welcoming, and they remember you. Wonderful coffee and delicious homemade food - we particularly love the wonderful scones and the cheese straws. The most relaxing place in Farnham and, if we’re lucky, our Friday morning treat.

Dear Manager of Barista Lounge. I've recently moved to the local area. The great reviews and pics drew me in to visit. That being said I hate to be the bearer of bad feedback as my experience was surprisingly quite the opposite. Upon entrance, the young lady at the counter who served me (Jess) may have not been having such a great day. Caveating that it was my first visit, I asked whether there was seating upstairs, and her response was you'll have to check upstairs (i.e. yes there is seating also upstairs if any available). I also asked whether it would be possible to have the coffee after the lunch. The response was yes of course whatever you like. The coffee arrived before the lunch. Another lady who served was kind enough to remove it and would bring another after. At the same time the table number was removed. Jess was nearby and with my ignorance I mentioned that the table number had been removed just in case they weren't aware. Her reaction was certainly felt to have attitude and to make me feel awkward for flagging this. 20 mins after another lady popped up to see if I'd like the coffee now and I asked whether it would be possible to have the lunch first that I ordered. 25mins in, the chef brought over lunch and was apologetic for the delay and confusion. I decided to take out coffee given the awkward atmosphere. Whilst waiting, I observed another customer asking Jess to wipe the table she was sat at. Couldn't help but notice how Jess addressed this with a friendly smile. Although the chef and the other lovely lady who served were polite, the overall experience left me feeling not welcomed. I very rarely give negative feedback and hope that the lady who served me was simply having a bad day with me getting the brunt of it and that the experience doesn't lead me to wonder anything else.

I had a great exsperience. The staff are really kind and helpfull. Jess is amazing and she always looks after me everytime i come in.

I had a lovely time here thanks to the wonderful staff, who were very welcoming, Jess was the best! The little garden is wonderful and the upstairs is perfect for my studies. The food options are great in comparison to the other coffee shops in town; easily my favourite place to get a coffee.

Good selection on menu friendly service and the building and garden are part of Farnhams heritage

I come here occasionally for coffee and cake and it never disappoints. I always get a friendly welcome and there is a nice homely lounge area upstairs where you can read and relax in peace. Cake portions are generous and there is always a good selection. Tap water is freely available which is a nice touch.

Batista team always welcoming and friendly. Great coffee cakes to cater for those with a food intolerance.

A gorgeous little cafe with loads of great food and drink options, a great view of Downing Street to people watch, and lovely secret garden out the back :) But most notably - the best service in town! Jo (the manager) is sooo lovely and kind and even comforted me when I was sad after dropping my son off at school for the first time. Currently eating the almond croissant - delicious! Highly recommend a visit :)

What a treat. Popped in for a coffee as we were early for an appointment. Gorgeous mocha (my fave) and a slice of lemon drizzle. Super service. Mega friendly. Nice music. Good crowd, busy but not too busy. And the smashed avocado on toast looks amazing. Planning to return soon. An absolute gem on Downing Street.

Stunning Little Cafe on Downing Street with a beautiful walled garden. Food is very fresh cakes tasty and sensible prices ! Just perfect always welcoming and friendly

Stopped here whilst out shopping as it looked busy and buzzy inside so thought that was a good sign. It definitely was! We sat inside and ordered a fish finger sandwich and quiche and salsad, both were delicious, good quality and quantity and served by some lovely friendly staff. We then took cake outside in to the garden, what a lovely spot on a sunny day, a real sun trap. When we left we took a take away coffee with us, it was good, I like a cortado and a lot of coffee shops don’t really know what that is, but it was perfect. So glad I found this coffee shop , enroute from the car park to all the shops I need so will definitely visit again when I’m in town😊

I want to start by saying a big thank you to Jo Lawrence the manager who took over 4 months ago, and her staff members for making our gathering feel more special. It was raining so we booked a private room upstairs. Waaw! They were really busy, yet thé service was unbelievably amazing, they kept coming to check on us and make sure the table was cleaned regularly, and we had enough, tea, coffee, water, and food. Speaking of food the bread for the sandwiches was delicious, and the fillings were adapted to our cultural requirement. If you’re looking to meet up with friends, or host a family get together, this is the place to go.

Very cosy little place with wonderful coffee and lovely staff. Really recommend sitting in the window seat on a rainy day.

Very attentive and friendly staff. Lovely homemade cakes & scones, pastries and 'doorstop' open sandwiches. Pretty garden though it was raining today. Private room up some rather steep stairs

Came with my mum, sat in the lovely sun trapped garden, I had an iced latte and brownie both delicious , great service as well

Best place in Farnham for coffee. Staff are fantastic. Food is great as well. Inside or out - both nice places to be. I've been countless times - so this is not a one off review (!)

My favourite cafe in Farnham town! Lovely atmosphere, super friendly kind staff and great coffee. They do the best chai lattes ever!!

Maybe it was busy or short staffed. But the staff didn't have much time for you.

Absolutely love Barrista Lounge. Best coffee in Farnham, lovely cakes, always friendly service and the outside garden space is ideal when the weather allows. Please support this independently owned place.

Lovely little coffee shop with a secret garden and even its own coffee blend. Very polite and friendly staff and an efficient and helpful manager. I am both gluten and dairy intolerant, so don't expect much, but was suprised to find a great range of cakes and beverages available. I can safely say I enjoyed the whole experience and will make the Barista Lounge my new regular coffee spot 😊

Popped on here for a coffee with a friend. The coffee was delicious. The staff were awesome! Particularly the lady serving who couldn’t do more to be helpful and was a joy to chat with!

Excellent coffee and delicious food. Nice vibe inside, and a great place to work in the upstairs section.

Very friendly, as far as I am concerned it serves the best coffee in Farnham. Good range of pastries and snacks too. Pleasant, quiet garden area.

What a lovely Cafe, eatery. Wonderful service, so kind and friendly. Coffee and cake excellent. Sat in the garden which was so nice. We will be back

Such a nice place! The staff are so lovely and their matcha is amazing!!!

Well worth a visit. Just a short walk from Waggon Yard car park, so a great stop off when going to or returning from the shops.

Popped in with my wife for coffee. The staff were friendly but our coffees were horrible. Really unpleasant taste - so nasty we both left most of our drinks. Whoever chose their coffee beans made a very poor choice. Will not be returning.

Came to Farnham for a short break and I was glad to encounter this cafe! It has a lovely cosy atmosphere and is surprisingly spacious with a garden and upstairs work space area. Coffee and food was delicious and there are a lot of options. The baristas were also very lovely and friendly. A great spot to go by yourself to relax or catch up with a friend 😊

A very lovely place with garden seating (when it's not busy), friendly staff and just had a very nice latte. Latte rating: 70/100 - 1 sweetener used 🙂

Great coffee, great homemade cake and great service. What more can you ask for, a quiet friendly shop in Farnham which is well worth the visit if you are looking for a place to sit down and just relax!

Popped in during a torrential rainstorm for coffee & cake - both fabulous - highly recommend! Large selection of cakes, pastries & savoury treats! Thanks

One of my favorites cafes in the world! Very homely, community feel. Young, old, working, studying, chatting; it's the perfect mix of do your own thing or be chatty. The staff are so lovely especially the lady with short blonde hair. It's a true community cafe, that's very work/study friendly! Reasonably price & gorgeous outside areas + standing tables

I really recommend visiting this cafe for lunch or a drink. It's very cosy and friendly. There's a good menu, including good options for a vegan friend in our group. Recommend the avocado on toast and the milkshakes! It's dog friendly too which is a bonus.

Amazing coffee and lovely staff, red velvet cake is delicious 😋

The staff is friendly and the cafe is really cosy . There is an amazing selection of cakes which I highly recommend

Breakfast - the porridge was a healthy option, a clearer signage of where the CR would be helpful for the staff and customers, saves time in asking for both parties. Nearest car park is approximately five minutes walk.

Worst flat white I ever had, tasted like they washed the Coffee bin and poured milk to it, lost a customer first time around

Beautiful independent coffee shop!

Incredibly rude young waitress. Waited 15mins for a coffee then got shouted at when I chased it up.

Lovely food & service. Bagels were full of filling, cakes moist and coffees large! We left full!! The staff were very helpful and although busy we easily found a seat. Too cold to sit outside but in the summer we will as the courtyard looks...

Met up with a friend for coffee and cake and hada really excellent capucinno and custard pastry sadly the chocolate cake was quite heavy and the decaf coffee wasnt great. Would return another time andjust avoid the cake.

Popped in for a coffee and to rest our weary legs. Excellent coffee in a nice garden. Cakes looked nice but we were too full to try one, sadly!

Would highly recommend this cafe - great tasting coffee, and tasty banana cake - nice atmosphere inside, too. We sat upstairs on comfy chairs round the window. The staff were friendly and efficient. Our group also had oat milk and coconut milk, so that was a bonus. Would definitely return! Thank you

Great little place in the centre of Farnham, very friendly staff and tasty food

Great coffee but with the slowest service.

A lovely independent coffee shop- great beans for a smooth coffee, and the cakes are tasty too. Very friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. A great example of why you should shop local!

Visited as a family of five. It was baking hot but the interior was slightly cooling as we opted not to eat outside in the garden. Ordering a variety of drinks and dishes, no-one was disappointed. My own beef bagel and dressed salad was good...

I have really loved coming here since moving to Farnham.

Went for the coffee and stayed for most excellent lunch! Service was friendly, informative, patient, and attentive. Locally roasted seeds to make a coffee from a blend of central and south american complemented by beans from India and Kenya. Unique blend to be sure. Oat milk complemented rather than dominating the espresso. Sandwiches depicted are real and not posed. Can’t wait for next visit.

Went for breakfast, tasty, simple menu in an intimate friendly atmosphere. Great tasting coffee and a regular place even for take away.

Great independent coffee house where they make great coffee. The food is interesting & hearty, and in the warmer weather there is a wonderful courtyard out the back, very peaceful you would never know you were in the middle of Farnham. My Mum goes in...

Slowest coffee shop I’ve ever visited 🐌

23/5/22 First time to this coffee shop. Shop is a little small but plenty of seating to the rear in the garden. Ordered a coronation chicken bagel which seemed a bit pricey but it was generously filled with a tasty bit of salad so fair...

Lovely little coffee shop cafe - charming and friendly and damn good coffee

Really nice ambience and good food. Especially love the salads that come with most of their meals, really fresh and delicious!

This place scores high on the Woo-ometer…delightful staff, clean and well appointed decor and excellent quality food. I love it when a side salad is notched up in standard with the inclusion of blueberries and cranberries. The outdoor eating area is a tranquil sun trap. Easy to whittle away the hours here. 😃👏🏻

We came across Barista Lounge whilst shopping in Farnham. We prefer to support independent cafes and this cafe was great. The staff were really friendly and the food was absolutely amazing. Very generous portions and really tasty food. Comfortable seating and relaxing environment.

This is a great little coffee shop right in the heart of Farnham. There's plenty of space to meet friends or pitch up with a laptop and catch up on some work thanks to the free WiFi. There's also a sizable garden for when the sun comes out. With a warm welcome, good coffee and light bites, it's definitely worth a stop if you have time to spare in the town.

Nice coffee shop, friendly staff and really tasty food. Would have had 5 stars but they didn't know anything about my reservation, luckily managed to squeeze me in

Delighted by this new find. In Farnham relatively regularly but they were closed for training last time we were in town so made a bee line this time. Absolute delight. Superbly warm, friendly and happy welcome and greeted with some insight to their coffees as well. Not just another coffee shop, but someone who is enthusiastic about coffee. Ordered some food - over the moon with the toastie, croissant and beef bagel. Top of our list now, will be back for sure.

In a town where you couldn’t throw a flat white without hitting a coffee shop, cafe or bakery - this is our new favourite place. Outstanding coffee and very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

A great place to meet up with friends and cheerful staff!

Slightly expensive but support local friendly staff

Not knowing Farnham that well a friend suggested meeting here. The coffee was good, but the cake was truly epic. No joke, the best cake i've ever eaten in my life, and i've eaten a lot of cake! It was the chocolate orange loaf, if...

The guy behind the bar is genuinely a BABE, the food is good, coffee is amazing. great place to work from during the day

Unfortunately I only experienced the service and not any of the coffee and cake. Left to wait at the counter the waitress only realised she'd better take some orders as others entered some time after me, taking the seat I'd hoped to sit at. I...

Coffee was very good. Was looking forward to the Hearty Bacon Sandwich but they ran out of Bacon. Maybe next time.

The atmosphere was friendly, coffee and cake selection was well rounded catering for all tastes. The breakfast menu is minimal and targeted at the continental tastes. Has outdoor seating. Well worth popping in for a coffee and cake.
