Cafe Menta in Elmbridge

Very good experience. Food is fresh and good !!!

Very nice cafe and most importantly in a world of ever growing high street cafe chains, its an independent. To be applauded and not only for that but also for the friendliness and quality of products. All in all, a delight. Long may they last.

Very friendly and attentive. Delicious breakfast!

Really great place - we had spicy sramble and egg& cheese ciabatta. Fresh and perfectly cooked. Will definitely be back. Best place in Esher for breakfast!

First class full english breakfast Quality ingredients Freshly cooked to perfection Attentive service Great coffee Feels like an owner run, owner managed business where they really care These guys have got something good going here

Excellent food and service. Visit here often for brunch & the food it always fresh and delicious. Would highly recommend.

Lovely cute little coffee shop and finding it dog friendly was nice surprise, great energy Highly recommend the food and coffee. We had the eggs from the forest and grilled veggies open. Considering the quality of food good prices

It is a very enjoyable place and also an authentic place. Thank you very much to the management account.

Delicious sandwiches- really full and very nice bread. Very nice coffee - and they had skimmed milk which doesn’t often happen!! Delightful server. Thank you!

Great place to meet with friends for a coffee and a bite to eat.

Good food but rather tired decor.

I would very much recommend Menta, everything is lovely.

Lovely lunch, the best chicken wrap ever. Highly recommend

Absolutely solid breakfast. Highly recommend a full English.

This is a lovely local cafe! The food is absolutely delicious. Had the spicy scrambled eggs :-) will definitely be coming back!!!

Unassuming independent cafe with delicious food and drinks. Just walked into Cafe Menta to have a double macchiato and open salmon and cream cheese sandwich with salad. The bread was still warm - definitely recently baked and i was very pleasantly surprised how tasty everything was. The service is brilliant as well. Great find and definitely highly recommend it.

First time and wont be the last! Service was great nice and relaxed and food was so tasty and fresh!

Really great food, and a lovely ambience. A great place to watch the world go by with a delicious coffee

Delicious Sweet Chilli Chicken wrap with a coffee. Simple food done exceptionally well. Can’t wait to go back.

Quality fresh made food. Had a breakfast sandwich with fresh OJ, perfect.

Great food , excellent quality best tasting breakfast I had cooked to perfection

Lovely little cafe', we pop into Menta before going to the Everyman Cinema, food is always very tasty, service was excellent, see you for brunch soon

I’ve passed this cafe a few times without needing to stop but always noticed how busy it is. Happened to be in Esher for an appointment and hadn’t had lunch so figured it was a good spot to try and I am so glad I did. The food was delicious, staff friendly and attentive. I now know why it always looks so busy! An absolute gem!

Lovely food and very attentive service. The best sandwiches and panini in the area. I love the fact they also have fresh juices. Will definitely be back.

Really nice omelettes in here, good coffee and great location to start or finish a wander around Esher.

First time visit. Mozerella, Avocado & Bacon Panini delicious. Good coffee as well. Will be back

Arrived in Esher around 2pm on Saturday after long drive and desperately needed some lunch before an appointment. We walked the high st. And chose a little cafe for a quick snack..Cafe Menta, honestly we were a bit apprehensive but WHAT FANTASTIC FOOD WAS PRESENTED. I had a Panini with bacon,avocado and masserela. I asked to swap the cheese for tomato..no problem,! My wife had a BLT, WOULD YOU PREFER IT TOASTED.. YES PLEASE.. And 2 pots of tea. The food was well presented with green salad and they were really fabulous with lots of bacon. Also the guy was really friendly . Highly recommend this little independent cafe. Thankyou.

One of the best club sandwiches ever. Great lunch.

My Mum and I like this place because it has the best choice of gluten free cakes around and they are perfectly baked. Mum had the orange and chocolate cake and I had the pear and cardamom cake. Mum said that she didn't like the thought of pear in a cake but changed her mind when she tried a piece :-) Also, it has an interesting view looking down over the main street and road junction with plenty going on. The owner is very patient and kind. The coffee is excellent of course. My Mum and I have done most of the coffee places in Esher high street now and this is our favourite.

This is a great cafe - the owners are lovely, great atmosphere and food is fab. Best cafe around!!

Had a bacon, avocado and cheese panini and I'm happy to say it's probably the best panini I've ever had. Good amount of all fillings, good quality bacon which was cook well. The panini was fresh and heated. Faultless. Service excellent and friendly.

The owners are super friendly and the food is soo yummy 🤤

My favourite place for my coffee, lovely breakfast or lunch. Fantastic welcome!

Spicey scrambled eggs on soughdough great👍👍the full English brekkie is first class to

Amazing little cafe in the heart of the town and amazing guy who owns it

Friendly and efficient service and lovely food.

Love this place. Have been regularly coming here for many years. Staff are always so friendly and welcoming, food is fresh and tasty and a good menu. Can’t recommend enough.

My view is that this little independent face is tops for drinks, breakfast and light lunch. Unfortunately not open on Sundays.

FANTASTIC BREAKFAST! Thank you.

Breakfast was delicious today and great value for money. Staff were very friendly and it seems to be a popular place

Really friendly bunch, great food

I absolutely love going to menta. The owner and his wife are full of joy. Food and coffee is made with love. A very special place

Hidden Gem!!!!!! Lovely people, even better food!!!!

Over time i have ordered several of their dishes. The top quality quality of each ingredient was noticeable and made the dishes excellent

Lovely place, very friendly staff. Dog friendly too. Will definitely come back if I was ever around here again

Lovely place for lunch and they do really nice club sandwiches and also great coffee!

This place does the most wonderful sweet chilli chicken paninis! The staff are super friendly and at a reasonable price!

Fantastic Moussaka and amazing homemade gourmet burger and triple cooked fries on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturday evenings. Also love the personal service, like a traditional family-run place should be. Great place for lunch as well. Also do wonderful Mocha coffees made with real chocolate!

Wonderful home made burgers, will definitely visit here again!

We had some wonderful homemade burgers for dinner last Friday. Absolutely delicious, served with homemade fries, coleslaw and even the burger bap is homemade. I had the chicken burger which was huge and so tasty! We also tried a cheeseburger and bacon & cheeseburger all of which were given 10/10. Excellent value for money too. Highly recommend.

The best cafe in Esher. Food first class and service to match. Family friendly. Alex is a wonderful cook and host.

Had a nice cup of tea and cake best tea in a cafe I have had and very nice cake people very nice as well

Lovely little cafe that has amazing juices, smoothies, and smoothie bowels. Really good selection for breakfast from your full fry to pancakes, I’m veggie and the owner made me an amazing veggie breakfast. Really good service always friendly and willing to accommodate.

Bit pricey but worth it I love this place lovely food and great coffee

Door sign and map suggests cafe is part of Amex 'Shop Small' scheme but Menta does not accept American Express as of November 2019. Disappointing.

So have driven past this cafe every day for ages and was heading to giro but thought let’s try it . The cafe smelt of paint and was so old looking with terrible dirty old mismatch furniture . The manager needs hospitality lessons and a general manners classand to clean up this place . Also £2.50 for one slice of toast and jam . Will not be back !!!! The cutlery pots are under gross sink next to the bin .

Cosy and sweet place for a quick breakfast or lunch break from your work. Very friendly staff too.

Decent. Never fully trust anywhere that has "avo" in the menu.... Not cheap but very nice staff.

We came here this morning (Sunday morning 4th Aug) to grab some breakfast with our 7 month old in tow and had a great experience. Such a fantastic cafe. We both had a smoothie bowl, the ‘Bali bowl’ and the ‘Smoothie combo’ and they were absolutely delicious! So fresh and tasty! Definitely coming back to try the other smoothie bowls! The menu caters for all tastes so there is something for everyone. I was very tempted by the pancakes... Service was brilliant, super friendly. Thank you for a great start to our day!

Had lunch here with a friend who had the goats cheese omelette which looked stunning. I had the Tuna melt Panini which was excellent. Coffee good and staff friendly. Will definitely revisit as Breakfasts looks good. Plenty here for all sorts...meat lovers. vegetarians vegans etc...

Open from early morning till 3pm, this easy going little place is a gem in Esher. All the food is made on the premises and special requests can be accommodated. Alex and the girls are pleasant, the atmosphere is simple and cosy. Great pace for brunch. I like it a lot.

Something tasty, healthy, and beautifully presented, for all the family. Friendly staff and great service too. Been going since it opened!

Pleased we have this place on our doorstep. Wonderful friendly staff, great coffee and local place to go for breakfast and lunch!!

Very pleasant light lunch, excellent vegetarian omelette with grilled goats cheese.

I’ve driven regularly past Menta for many years and the signage has always implied something a little tired or dated... how wrong was I??? This cafe was ultra friendly and speedy in service and the food was really fresh, tasty and good quality ingredients. I had a smashed avocado on sour dough with poached egg and my brother in law had a spicy scrambled eggs on sour dough and both were very good looking and delicious plates of food. The eggs were to perfection! Definitely worth a try!

Freshly prepared, delicious food. My husband and I went for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised with some of the breakfast menu. You can get your usual English breakfast if that is what you fancy but there is also french toast and fluffy pancakes too. You could also go for the healthy option with their freshly prepared smoothie bowls. I had scrambled eggs with spinach, avocado, and jalapenos. Delightful punch from the chilis. Also, a pet hate is when you get toast in a cafe and the butter comes solid as a rock and impossible to spread. You won't have that problem at Menta. A great selection of smoothies and cakes too. Will definitely be back

Fantastic little cafe, one of Esher's hidden gems. The coffee is the best on the high street and the food is excellent too. I highly recommend the goat's cheese salad.

Always a friendly face, professional service and delicious food. A recently refurbished venue too which looks good. Highly recommended.

Came here by myself for lunch and it was DELICIOUS! Wrap and a cappuccino. I will definitely be back for more either solo or with friends and family. So good!

After the refit we returned for lunch. Not disappointed. There a couple new items added to the menu. The food and drinks were excellent. Well worth it.

A great independently run restaurant. Been here several times for breakfast after a recommendation from a friend and will be going again. Am always made to feel very welcome especially when I had only been the once the man remembered I’d come before with my Dad. Very casual feel suitable for all whether you want food or just a drink. A good choice of food and am yet to try the fresh cakes. I’ve had the full English breakfast and also the sausage and egg butty. Have enjoyed every meal. Love the freshly squeezed orange juice too.

This is a wonderful independent cafe in the middle of Esher. It concentrates on breakfasts, light lunches and cakes and coffee. It's clientele ranges from families having lunch, yummy mummies sipping lattes, businessmen on a break and golfers fuelling up before a round of golf. The halloumi and pesto wrap is delicious and anything on the breakfast menu is of highest quality. Perfect place to sit with a book for a quiet break during the day. Go on- support your local cafes, they need our business.

Cafe Menta is the best! Service was impeccable and the food outstanding! Thier home made pesto is to die for. They also gave us a delicious vegan cake for my mum's birthday. Amazing start to the day!

Lovely fresh cooked food, friendly staff, great coffee.

Everything a local cafe should be. Spotlessly clean with friendly service and fresh well presented food and good coffee. The big breakfast is a steal at £7.95. The very opposite to a greasy spoon.Well worth a visit.

Wonderful place with very friendly staff . The food selection was amazing for a good price too! Will definitely recommend to family and friends

First visit, shamefully as we live locally. We will definitely be returning.

Great place for an early morning coffee.

Hidden gem in Esher which I've only recently discovered on the recommendation of two friends.

A really excellent independent. Offering great breakfasts, fresh juices and hot drinks. The food is not your usual cafe food, it is well cooked and present with a smile. The service is excellent

not my ususal neck of the woods Esher,was working at the delightfull Sandown Park corse for the first time, after a two hour commute was ready for some breakfast. Had the sausage n bacon chiabatta good ingredients ,well cooked. don't know what the lettuce decoration was about but ,I was in Esher...

Discovered this gem when our original breakfast destination was having kitchen issues. So glad we had breakfast here. The poached eggs were cooked to perfection and served with delicious sour dough toast. My husband enjoyed a traditional bacon sandwich. Coffee was very good. Will defiantly be back to sample more of the breakfast menu and the fresh juices. Its great to see an independent on a High Street peppered with the usual chains. It looks like a good spot for lunch too. Parking nearby in 2 public carparks and Waitrose. Some outside tables and, unlike some of other chains, set back slightly of the main road so away from the traffic.

extensive breakfast menu and all very reasonably priced, friendly staff who welcomed our 3 children, very good quality food, especially the free range eggs, pancakes also excellent and coffee also great, well worth visiting rather than the boring same old chains which are all over Esher high street

Had lunch at Menta on the recommendation of a friend. Interesting menu. Delicious panini. Very friendly staff. Have arranged to return there soon with a group of friends. A refreshing and welcome change from the "chains" of which there are many in Esher High Street.

I work down the road and can't help going to this cafe almost everyday, the food is always good and the service friendly too!

We popped in for brunch- hubbie had pannini and I had spicey scrambled eggs- both excellent. Great to have almost usual menu but cooked well. Eggs had spinch, veg, peppers and--i think tiny pieces of avocado- nice flavours. As per other reviews, great to see owners care about what they do and everything cooked fresh to order.

Every time I get something from here I thoroughly enjoy it. Top little cafe.

Menta is a truly amazing place, the service is amazing and so is the food. We have been going every week for 6 odd weeks now and it gets better every time.

Charming and welcoming owner/staff who are interested in their customers. Good tasty cooked food especially breakfast. Excellent home made cakes and cookies.

The people there are very nice just like there food it does the best milkshakes in Esher and i go there as often as i can.The have a wide variety of meals for vegetarians and other needs.

At the time, I found this cafe, I've ridden/pedaled around 70 miles, it has started a nasty wind that feels bringing rain and still had to do 40 more miles to reach my home in North London so needing urgently a place where shed myself from the wind for a while and feed my exhausted muscles. However, it kept me around 10 miles looking for a decent, healthy place, though all was about the same, kebabs, fish&chip;, burger in few words, pure rubbish, so I started to feel a bit desperate when this cafe turned out right in my sight line. As soon as i saw it, I thought it was ticking all the boxes, nice and warm decoration -all in mint green lol- bright, cozy, neither too big nor too small. The waiter that later on turned out was the owner too was very friendly and helped me very well to find the best vegetarian options for me. He also had no problems to put my Garmin on charge using his own charger.

Menta is a low key, first class cafe with delicious food at a reasonable price. The cafe is sparklingly clean and the cooked food hot and fresh. A great menu on offer, particularly breakfast, and simple high quality meals are available all day. Anyone deciding on just a coffee would do well to consider having one of the big, warm, soft biscuits as an acccompaniment - yummy. Sometimes it is posssible to park outside in the slip road or in one of the slip roads alongside Esher High Street, otherwise there is a big public car park by the council offices. Of course, for cyclists there is no problem. There are a few outside tables and about 10 tables inside.

Very much a regular here now. You have to try the coffee, it's by far the best in town! Also the club sandwich is the best I've ever had. Scrambled eggs are incredible too! I can't compliment this place enough, you have to try it!

Me and my husband often go for breakfast here. I always have the spinach, feta and mushroom omelette with sour dough bread ! The best omelette I've been served in a cafe by far ! The fresh juices are very nice too ! Highly recommend this cafe.

Friendly staff who accommodated my dietary needs, gluten free sandwich options and cake. Very tasty fresh food! Great little find for a low key bite to eat!

A group of us cycle to Cobham and beyond via Esher and often stop here. The owner is wonderful and welcoming, the lovely woman in the kitchen equally so. Most delicious spicy scrambled eggs with avocado and sourdough bread. Good coffee and a fab welcome. Highly recommend!! Infinitely better than the pretentious Giro down the road with uber expensive coffee and slow staff.

I visited Menta and ordered a club sandwich. My mother ordered the halloumi wrap. Both were mouthwateringly good. They both came with baby greens drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The baby greens were very good quality. In many restaurants where you would have to pay more money, some would be whittled and horrible. Here in Menta, every leaf had a distinct flavour to it.

Great cafe. It's intimate and the owner takes extra care. Breakfast and lunch are both good.

Such a great little cafe! Decent price and very high quality food. Will defiantly go again!

I have had the pleasure of visiting Menta on several occasions and it is our favorite place for breakfast or lunch in Esher. Owner is very personable and a pleasure to deal with. They have a nice variety of offerings. I have never had a bad meal here. Excellent choice for all ages as well. Highly recommend it!
