Charlie&ginger, Leatherhead in Mole Valley

Perfect spot for a lovely coffee! Great food! Excellent customer service!! Well done to everyone! Ignor customer that they come there and pay 4,50 for a coffee and they think they own you for that money.They should be grateful that someone weak up at 5:00 a clock to be there for them and make them food and coffee.Thank you all for your effort.

The girl with all the tattoos that serves the coffee her attitude absolutely stinks. Paying £4.50 for a decaf and that’s how your treated

I've been coming to C&G for about a year and enjoy the coffee options and great location. Have only tried some of the menu, no complaints on that front, although the portion sizes don't quite match the prices (although the same can be said for alot of places these days). I would say that there is a very brash member of staff who I've seen being very rude to the other staff. It was particularly bad on my last visit where a young waitress was close to tears after being told off in front of customers, I felt so sorry for her. I believe she is a manager or owner, she is older and has short-ish hair. There was really no need for it and it made me and the other customers feel very awkward. I will still continue to go to C&G as I like to support local independent businesses but I if I see this behavior again I will have to speak up.

Found the service bad. On greeting staff and trying to make an order, I wasn't greeted in return but told curtly to move to the other end of the counter (two staff there and no queue). The server forgot to bring half of my order, when I asked for it I was spoken to like she didn't believe me, and when they eventually brought it, no apology was made. The coffee was small and unpleasant tasting.

Great atmosphere and lovely coffee! They’ve also got a great menu of food and baked goods. The coffee sizes are a bit on the small size for the price though!

Unfortunately cannot cater for coeliac, using the same toaster for GF bread, I asked if they could grill or fry in a pan to heat frozen bread but unfortunately they could not offer any alternative. They did provide a full refund and apologised.

Too expensive and small portions. This is leatherhead not central London. Overnight oats with blueberries, nuts etc £8 was very nice but very small portion. Wow it was like a kids portion. Tea for 1 £3, too high a price. My friend had avocado on toast £8 with only one slice of sourdough and she added eggs. No wonder Lucios is always packed. Much better value with larger portions. I’ll not be back sadly

Enjoyed cheese sandwich and black bean quesadilla - well presented and good taste (the quesadilla was a spicy/bitter flavour that may not be to everyones taste). Coffee was superb - they use a good couple of blends - served both as a cappucino and americano - you can also choose V60 filter at a premium.

Love Charlie & Ginger but had stale cinnamon roll. Mentioned to staff who nonchalantly said it was fresh ... no-one bothered to ask for a bit broken off to try, so they had no idea. Maybe supplier had provided old stock. It was not good. Normally food is tasty and completely fresh. Shame .... left bad taste in mouth...

This is a lovely cafe, my first time here, and a handy place to meet up with friends while shopping.

Popped in for a pre-theatre coffee by myself. Greeted by friendly staff member who pointed out a good place to sit. REALLY good coffee and menu looked appealing too!

I visited for quite a while as I waited for my car in the garage and felt very welcomed. Your staff are so lovely. The mushroom on toast is delicious and the array of coffees, teas and smoothies are great. I recommend the turmeric late! I’ll be back if I’m in the area again.

Wonderfully fresh smashed avocado with deep golden yolk poached eggs. Really nice coffee and pastel de natas too. Great interior and friendly staff. Would happily calm back

It is a great place to go to for studying, with a lovely atmosphere and cute decor. The drinks they serve are lovely and the food is delicious with a healthy selection to choose from.

I don’t often go all the way to Leatherhead for breakfast and coffee, but after a semi-sleepless night at the local, rather average but dirt-cheap, Travelodge, I felt that me and Mrs B needed a bit of a treat. Fortunately for us, we chose Charlie and Ginger. What an antidote to hotel mediocrity. Firstly, and this to me is really important … the coffee is fantastic. That’s a big tick. But the breakfast offerings were also great. Smashed ‘avo’ may have become a hipster staple, but this one was a cut above. Even the marmalade on toast was just a tad special. Other people in our group raved about the ‘Overnight Peanut Butter Oats’ and the Minted Berry Smoothie. Yes, maybe it’s a tad expensive for outside London (where last week I spent £3 for a single slice of toast!), but that’s life in these post-Covid days. Sod the cost (at least for this month) and enjoy.

Staffed by a terrific crew of energetic, polite barristas, we made it our go-to spot for early morning Americano coffee and fresh-baked croissants and cinnamon buns. Earth-friendly biodegradable cups and utensils completes the picture. Take home a bag of coffee grounds from the back shelves for your garden! Great spot.

Coffe and brunch were both excellent. Service was great and you must try the peanut butter brownie it was delicious. We will definitely visit again.

I dropped in for a quick lunch yesterday. I chose the spicy tomato soup to warm me up. Soup was a delight - it came with two hefty chunks of brown bread and butter and it tasted great. I was served by the manager, saying to her that the ambience that she had created was relaxed, the kind of place that people would enjoy being in. Thoroughly recommend this cafe.

They are consist, always get a velvety smooth rich cup, perfect crema to the last drop, always made with pride and care. Great beans also. Highly recommended.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon. Nice space, and decor. Good coffee and nice cakes. Service friendly, although a little slow. Overall a very nice place for a coffee

Good Quality Meat Free Coffee shop. Not normally one for the meat free life but gave it a bash and I must say. Their breakfast has got game! Left feeling very full and happy. My only small problem is that it’s card only, and wasn’t informed till payment.

Great cafe in Leatherhead. I had missed lunch as it was 3pm so had a lemon drizzle cake and a pot of tea and worked on my laptop as they provided me with the code. The lemon drizzle cake had a twist - really unusual and the tea was excellent. They close at 4pm as I was going to order again so I will go back for lunch. The unisex loos are immaculate (large Victorian style ones and spotless.) The staff (I’ve been in twice now) are really friendly (unlike the Blue Cafe round the corner) Finally they have a 5 star food hygiene rating. Great to have this in Leatherhead.

My boyfriend and I popped in for coffee and some food on Saturday, around 11:45. It was buzzing but we managed to find a table for two. We had avocado on toast, a granola bowl, muffin and cinnamon bun, plus a couple of coffees, and it was all absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was so warm and the service was friendly (and quick, considering the place was full). Highly recommend!

Fed up with crappy chain coffee in Epsom and Leatherhead, I decided to try Charlie and Ginger for a spot of breakfast.The coffee was clearly made with care, and there was a great selection of breakfast snacks. The place has a nice atmosphere, and the decor has clearly been selected with creating a relaxing vibe.The COVID safety procedures that they had in place were more than sufficient and the place was spotless.Would recommend if you are looking for artisan coffee in the Ashtead Leatherhead area.

The staff are all really lovely and smiley, and all practicing good COVID measures. The atmosphere was really nice inside, and the food was delicious and so was their coffee and juice! You could tell all the produce was fresh and locally sourced. Also their takeaway cups are biodegradable and they make a conscious effort to reduce waste and damage to environment which is great! Would recommend going there a very lovely place to brunch!

Just had the amazing peanut butter overnight oats, they were so good. Coffee is always good here as is the toasted banana bread and halloumi stack. We’re lucky we have this place in Leatherhead

Lovely food, lovely staff & a great atmosphere. Best breakfast spot in the area! Lovely toilets too!

Friendly staff, loads of vegan options and the best chai ever! The staff here and always warm and welcoming and will bring your coffee to the table (pre COVID - now there is a hatch one to order, one to collect). Sometimes the service can be slightly slow but nothing too bad and it’s worth the wait.The food is also declicious and fresh - granola bowl, avocado on toast, pastries, poached eggs etc

I went back three times this month for work meetings but I doubt I will go back.I quite like the shop itself, it’s got a nice modern feel about it; however the experiences I had were a bit disappointing. The first time I tried a coffee. It was bitter. The second time I tried earl grey tea. It was weak. I don’t remember what brand they use, maybe it’s not a very good one (or maybe it they didn’t pour boiling water on the teabag right away and let the water sit for a bit?). Anyway just wasn’t good. On my third visit I just ordered sparking water! The wait it long, 10 minutes as least. The person that takes the order also puts together orders such as cakes, and I think this delays the process I bit. But the most annoying thing about the place is the noise. There is no sound proofing at all and the music is quite loud. The bar is all in the open so there is a lot of noise coming from the coffee machine, the crockery being washed and put back, etc. You end up having to shout to one another in order to hear each other. My advice to management would be: move the till at the front rather than the side; get one person doing orders only. Move the cakes where the till is now, get another member of staff there only to prepare cake and cups ready for the baristas. Install panels around the coffee machine area and install soundproofing panels from the ceiling/walls.

I go to this lovely cafe most weeks. The coffee is amazing and probably the best I have tasted. The muffins are lovely. I know some people comment on prices but I would say worth every penny.

This place is well organised and provides good coffees and snacks. The Covid measures were thorough and the service was well delivered. My cheese and tomato croisant was excellent. Good trendy atmosphere without being snooty.

Lovely coffee shop in centre of Leatherhead. I’ve had breakfast, lunch and afternoon cake here over the past month or so, and have been very impressed. The food is tasty and the service is friendly.

Have been meaning to visit for ages then lockdown happened. Breakfast of smashed avo and one of the best oatmeal lattes out there - surpassed expectations. A real gem in Leatherhead. Staff friendly. Service excellent. Definitely feeling a Bondi vibe.

Great coffee ( we bought some ground beans to take home!) and a very nice breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff. Recommended.

This is the best place for brunch in Leatherhead by far. The avocado toast and smoothies are a hit with the kids. Food is fresh and delicious. Modern and stylish decor and friendly staff. This is a family favourite.

Moved to the area recently and this was the coffee place that attracted us first. My husband and I also prefer to support local and smaller businesses than the high street chains. We have always got a table straight away and never queued in the handful of times we have been. The coffee is very good and the lemon drizzle cake is delicious. Menu looks tasty too so will definitely be going back for brunch/lunch.

A well done up cafe, with exceptional food and great coffee. Feels as if it belongs in shoreditch. Keep going guys hope your open again soon!!! :)

Modern fittings and vibes. Good coffee and breakfast snack selection (including good vegan offer for my daughter) Staff friendly and an all round great atmosphere. Has become a regular spot for me and my family when in the area.

I l o v e you guys! The coffee is tasty light & fluffy not not thick froth sitting on heavy watery liquid like other places !! & it won’t burn your mouth as it’s served at the right temperature. The avo on toast with seeds & olive oil is heavenly . The eggs are poached to perfection.. the atmosphere is fun & it’s just fab in every way . Yes you pay extra for quality .. nuf said .

Allows dogs, really good atmosphere. Can get busy at times, sometimes have to wait for a table. Food is also a tad overpriced.

We had a lovely lunch. Food was very tasty, a very enjoyable visit. Staff very friendly and welcoming

Nice place but a bit costly. Been here a few times with friends. I don’t like coffee so to see white hot chocolate was nice and it is very nice. Lot of money though. Also had the carrot cake again very nice but costly. Found the chairs a little uncomfortable. Can’t really complain about the staff. Very cheery and welcoming. Will go again but not very often due to the prices.

Ok so the coffee is dearer then other places in Leatherhead, that’s because it’s better! I’d rather pay more for a decent coffee. Don’t always order food when I pop in at lunchtime but I came in with my son and girlfriend on Monday. I had the mushrooms on toast with two poached eggs as extra. It was really good. My son and gf didnt think it was expensive as they are used to paying London prices. I’d rather a fresh sandwich made for me with good quality ingredients any day of the week. Always my go to in Leatherhead.

Nipped into this cafe for a take away tea, didnt look at the prices but anyway placed my order and was charged £2.50 for a tea. When i got to my car to drink it, the tea wasnt even hot so i poured it down the drain. I thought i was in Mayfair for a minute for the price i was charged. One tea bag splash of milk and a cardboard cup what percentage mark up is that four figures!!

I dropped in this morning to meet a group of friends. It was busy as one would expect a few weeks before Christmas. Service was nevertheless fast and friendly with the usual array of coffees to choose from. I wasn't hungry but the cakes on offer certainly looked good - not sure how many if any are gluten free though - their website says they are available!

Am an Aussie who misses great coffee made by Barristas (UK coffee is mostly dreadful) ...and have found THE spot with the best coffee ...very sadly :(I live too far away for it to be a local spot . Had a delicious lunch -salad with avo and halloumi - with a friend - fresh ingredients and nicely assembled and presented . It will be my " GO TO " when I am in the local area. Look forward to tasting their winter offerings .

This gem of a cafe was a chance find whilst registering our newborn at the Leatherhead registry office. Cannot praise it higher. Great atmosphere, yummy food for lunch and well made coffee but it was all the little extras stood out. The quiet lending library with comfy chairs at the back was perfect for feeding, the big unisex bathroom with good changing table was great as my husband could assist us and I loved the self-serve station with flavoured waters to rehydrate me! Will definitely go again if ever back in Leatherhead .

This has to be the best coffee in England. We are from New Zealand where coffee is world class. We are visiting England where coffee is generally not good. This coffee was like being back home.

Wonderfully decorated, beautiful interior and very helpful staff.

Yet another watery American at £2.70 a cup. Pretentious style does not make up for indifferent service, and the same americano that you can get far cheaper at Starbucks. There's a difference knowing how to use a machine and actually having an idea as to how to make coffee. However, there is WiFi and sockets available whilst you waste your money!

Was tempted by the board outside and the hot weather to go and try this newish cafe. Iced Latte was simply pouring milk into a cup half filled with ice cubes and adding a shot of expresso to the top. They didn't stir it in - maybe it was supposed to look artistic - and didn't cold froth the milk either. Decor was nice and I may try something else in the future but no real reason to rush back.

My number one place to go for coffee or small bites to eat. This cafe is exactly what Leatherhead needed and so proud to have it in our town. It's the type of coffee shop you would expect in London...proper coffee (so much better than the chains), good honest food with the highest quality ingredients (all while supporting local businesses), and the interior is spot on! Fantastic business with an outstanding ethos behind it. You'll even see Charlie and Ginger give each other a little cuddle once in a while, so you know this business has a lot of love put into it!

Had a lovely morning here. Beautiful and classic interior, friendly and helpful staff and amazing organic teas. Also an awesome selection of cakes and pastries. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Visited Charlie and Ginger in Leatherhead for the first time today. Fantastic coffee, excellent food, charming and efficient staff. Most enjoyable. We will most definitely return.

I come in here quite often for a coffee on my own. It’s great coffee. Occasionally have the food which is great. Especially the avocado stack. Yes prices are a bit dearer but it it quality food and coffee. I’d rather go here and support a local business than a chain. Staff are always lovely and smiling. Love the vibes in the place. Also have a great playlist on.

Stopped at this enjoyable little cafe on our way to the Mole Gap Trail & had the most amazing surprise. One of the best flat whites I’ve had in a while! I also think prices are reasonable given the high quality coffee beans! Loved it! Would come again to Leatherhead just to have another one!

Finally visited the new cafe in Leatherhead that I had been wanting to go to for a while. A really nice atmosphere and interiors and the selection of cakes and drinks looked great! Unfortunately we only had drinks because the price of the cakes seemed too high £3.50 for a small slice of cake!! I would love to go again, but unless they alter the pricing I don't think I that would be likely.

Comfortable, friendly, Brooklyn style industrial-chic coffee shop. A real bonus for Leatherhead.

Popped in for a coffee and cake as it was raining and didn't want to go to our usual coffee shop, Costa.. Nice atmosphere, pleasant staff , good coffee with a tasty pain au raisin. Enjoyable visit, will return.

I was excited to try this new coffee shop and took my parents there for a drink, it was expensive for what it was and the staff seemed really unhappy even though we were polite they seemed to grimace when serving, strange.

I wish them well ! Starbucks didn't last n the town thank goodness!

It's a surrealistically nice place in the middle of Leatherhead. Coffee was great, food tasty and the staff was friendly

Disappointed that I am charged 50p extra for non-dairy. Considering the small ‘boutique’ size of the cups this is even more off-putting. By far the most expensive coffee I have had in this country. Service is also very slow: twice it was over 10 minutes. I would forgive them if they made non-diary standard. This is 2019.

Nice and spacious but there was barely anything on the menu. Two small lemonades (which were really small) and a small salad came to £10! Never going again.

Living in Leatherhead I’ve visited all of the cafes and have been disappointed with the quality of the coffee and service. So it’s really great that Charlie and Ginger has opened - a different class of cafe - finally great coffee, awesome food beautifully presented. Well worth a visit if you appreciate the finer things in life :)

I’m quite a coffee snob and so I was really surprised and impressed when I tried Charlie and Ginger. The coffee is very good and they’re using my favourite beans from Ozone. They’re a nice bunch also and the vibe and fit out is contemporary all leading to it being popular and busy. I wouldn’t listen to some of the early negative reviews.

We've started coming to C&G; every week while our eldest daughter goes to her class. The atmosphere is welcominf and the staff are excellent - friendly and oh man do they make a great coffee. We took my parents here and they said it's the best coffee they've ever had, which is a huge compliment considering the amount of coffee they drink. If you're in Leatherhead, forget the standard coffee chains, go to Charlie & Ginger.

Being new to the area from London we were very excited to see an artisan coffee shop open, and we were not disappointed!! The coffee is excellent, and served exactly as is should be (rather than bitter through burning the coffee with scalding hot milk!) all the staff are super friendly also :) our new regular weekend treat!

Great atmosphere and very friendly and welcoming staff. Kiddie friendly too! Will be back soon to sample the eclectic things on the menu....

Very lovely service, very lovely food and drink - this is a must visit in leatherhead! Will most definitely be visiting here again soon!

I visit Charlie & Ginger every other day wether it's for a quick takeaway coffee or a long lazy catch up - they're always friendly, efficient and have some really well thought out foodie things on their menu. I'm an Aussie so I love a great coffee and it's hard to find outside of London, but Charlie & Ginger have filled that caffeine shaped hole :)

If you're a coffee connoisseur you'll love this place. If you're not, then it might make you become one. I think it was the best flat white I've had in London (following up by seconds, of the best cortado). They hadn't started doing a full food menu when I went but the carrot cake was deliciously moist and fruity and the sausage rolls were amazing.

Visited Charlie and Ginger for the second time on Saturday with my two young children and elderly mother. Atmosphere is lovely, buzzing and nicely decorated. Great attention to detail - my children loved the 'fairy door' and the toilets are insta-worthy! The mocha was hands-down the best one I have ever had - I have never been offered a choice of white, milk or dark chocolate in it before. I went for dark and it worked really well with the clearly high quality coffee. My children had hot chocolate, and was great to see they do child sizes. Again, they were given a choice of white, milk or dark hot chocolate. We also had the carrot cake, a vegan brownie and a white chocolate and raspberry muffin. All were tasty and nicely presented and the service was faultless.

Had a toastie & a coffee, both excellent with prompt service. I'm slightly surprised about some of the comments on here about price. I thought it about the same I pay in Costa and the coffee was far far better.

I have visited the Charlie and Ginger a few times since it opened and it is probably some of the best cakes and coffee I've had.

I’ve been several times since C&G; opened in March. Super coffee and great food. Worth paying a small premium for great produce. Keep up the good work guys!

Just what Leatherhead needs - a quality coffee shop with a great buzzy atmosphere! Love the interior - very classy!

Service was slow, had to remind staff of our order even though there was only one other customer in there.

This coffee bar is a fine addition to Leatherheads seemingly over crowded number of coffee shops and bars. The decor is lovely and the way they have recessed the front door and window works really well. Well worth a try...

Went for lunch with my brother on a Tuesday. Tasty coffee and cakes and best cheese toastie ever. Lots of space and nice decor. Will definitely be back.

Our second visit to Charlie & Ginger in Leatherhead and probably our last. Over priced coffee; cups too small; slow service (with no waiting customers); and luke-warm coffee (our remake was not much better - and told by Manager that optimum temp of coffee was 60c !!). A real shame because the quality of their coffee was really good. They should also take note of earlier comments from others because this business is unlikely to survive for long with this level of service.

Leather / Ashtead / Epsom Downs / Boxhill May be a well to do area but not everyone is well to do unless the owners only want well to do customers in which case they should open there coffee shop in the appropriate areas!

As a huge supporter of independent local businesses, I thought I'd give them a chance and show my support. It's such a shame they've clearly misread the mood of the area judging by their ridiculously priced cappuccinos. Leatherhead might be a well to do area but it doesn't mean you have to take the proverbial... This place is seriously overpriced compared to other coffee shops in the vicinity and with their measly beverages they've only gone and pushed me into the arms of their competitors. Don't get me started on the £3.50 carrot muffin which must have been at least a week old and hard as a rock! I bake cakes for a living and I know when someone is trying to to pull a fast one! Please have some respect for your customers.

Had a cheese and vine tomato toastie. Nice bread and it was tasty. £5 too pricey

Love the colours in the cafe but it is a little bit dark towards the back. I was surprised to see the prices - £3.50 for a piece of carrot cake equivalent to National Trust prices so we didn’t buy cake. I went for the smaller size coffee which I think was £2.95 but it was tiny and my

I popped in to try the new place in Leatherhead as there was much anticipation!

I like this place is big enough to get a double buggy in, usually put off coffee shops as can't get in with the kids. They don't have many large tables for groups. Dogs are welcome which is nice.

New venture in Leatherhead, probably won’t go back
