Cafe Viriato in Epsom and Ewell

Homey, cozy and nice. Great food, great snacks and cool tinny market all in one space. The service is relaxed and very warm. Go for the traditional espresso and pastel de nata breakfast and you won’t regret it.

Lovely experiences. I keep going because you feel home. Lovely savouries and sweet pastries for breakfast, snacks or quick lunches, lovely coffee, diferent ways of serving very good hot and cold milk and coffee. Very very good bread. Spot on lunch food and remarkable environment.

If you are looking for a proper espresso in Epsom don't look any further: this is the place. I am Italian and I like a proper espresso, made in a hot cup, with the proper blend, the proper way.I still can't believe people are paying a premium to go to mainstream places for a simple coffee and get the worst of it.The place is small, but it is a warm family business (which I love). You can find some really nice wine bottles from Portugal (absolutely recommend the Monte Velho) at a reasonable price. The cafe offers also a deli shop with some of the typical Portuguese products, including cheese, bacalao and polpo. They also do the typical bifana, a freshly cooked steak panini which I had when I visited Lisbon, very nice for lunch.It is open only during the day and closed on Sunday. I would say that if you work in the area or are nearby, it is definitely a place worth a stop for a coffee, a quick lunch or to take home some Portuguese deli food.

We often come to this friendly, warm and lovely little café when we're in Epsom. It's a Portugese café, but the staff speak perfect English and are extremely friendly and courteous. Best of all their coffees and hot chocolates are absolutely delicious, and the prices are low. I had a large hot chocolate for £1.50 where in the usual café it would have cost at least £2.50. You can also buy Portugese products, and goodies to eat of which they have many. There is a TV for those who wish to watch that too. The café is basic and down to earth, but comfy and adequate in every way. It is usually quite busy too, which speaks for itself. If you want a basic cafe with really delicious drinks or snacks and friendly, welcoming staff then this is the place to go.

A primeira vez que fui ao café Viriato chorei, porque não tinha tido uma experiência Portuguesa em Inglaterra.Para ser sincera em Portugal não seria o tipo de local ao meu gosto. No entanto à distância gosto de sentir que estou a entrar no Portugal distante, antigo, com a gente simples.O dono é super simpático, a bifana excelente, as natas infelizmente estão sempre esgotadas (bom sinal). O café sabe-me a Portugal e a cerveja é a nossa.Depois compro sempre azeite, bacalhau e até o nosso arroz carolino. Como disse antes lembra-me um espaço mais de aldeia. Adoro e repito sempre que vamos a Epson.

Gostei muito, pois o atendimento é de excelente qualidade, os salgados são finos e deliciosos, lugar ótimo para aniversários, confraternizações ou simplesmente encontros com amigas.

No frills, friendly and helpful. Really good expresso, great strong cheeses and remarkably tasty snacks especially the pulled pork pasty and the custard tart.
