Coffee Diem in Waverley

Very tasty gluten free pizza, friendly team and good wine. What more do you need? !

Great service and delicious calzone pizza. My son says they are the best pizzas in Farnham. Thank you!

JULY 24 update: Coffee Diem is back, but more as Pizza Diem. Still had a lovely coffee and cheesecake stop but will need to go back to try the pizzas! JAN 24 update: really sorry to see that Diem is closed for good, hopefully you will be back somewhere soon Great pastries and espresso

This was the best pizza I’ve had in Farnham. Really good food and lovely people.

Wonderful cafe. Brimming with options. Lovely service.

Best pizza in Farnham it was so delicious great wine choices too will be returning soon .

We wondered past this gem on a Friday evening. After going somewhere else for starters and deciding we didn’t want mains there, we walked back here. I’m so glad we did, the staff were so friendly, chatty, attentive and the pizzas were delicious. We shared two pizzas between a family of 4 and both were so good. They were authentic Italian base and generous tasty toppings. Fair prices too. If weren’t full I would’ve loved to have tried the delicious looking cakes or desserts they had on offer. We will definitely be returning here for a pizza fix & explore more of the menu. Lovely way to start our weekend.

Went there and tried to drink a cappuccino in „COFFEE Diem“, was told you have to buy food to order a coffee. Maybe don’t call yourself a coffee place then??

Fantastic coffee the best Pizza i have ever eaten in Farnham, service is amazing , beautiful decorations too 👍

Me and my friend went here for coffee at the start of last month and it was really lovely. Price is great too what you expect around the Farnham area. It was very clean as well. Will be back.

Very lovely atmosphere, nice decorations and the food was delicious, as well as the coffee!

Good service friendly atmosphere 👍 didn't eat there but tea wasgood 👌

The most delicious and welcome cup of coffee. Pretty, cosy surroundings and great service. Thank you

This is easily the best coffee shop in Farnham. Despite lots of new competition in Lion and Lamb Yard, it still stands out for its fantastic coffee and warm friendly service and delicious food.

Went in for a bite to eat yesterday- my friend had travelled over an hour to meet me for the day and wanted to show her my favourite coffee shop. Entered in at 1, which was 30mins after they stopped serving breakfast. I totally understand they couldn’t make an exception for us, but there were no lunch options out other than two slices of quiche- one broccoli and one ham. I felt disappointed at tone of server who said ‘no we absolutely can’t make breakfast now.’ I thought there was a nicer way to communicate this. Not the best experience I’ve had and sadly won’t return again.

Very pleasant customer service and great food and drinks. Go and check them out.

What a treat this place is. Great drinks and snacks, served with a friendly atmosphere. Seating is a little cosy inside but adequate. Well worth stopping for a cracking bacon sandwich.

They offer a delicious sweetcorn soup and avocado toast and their tea and coffee were also great! The service was nice and quick and the atmosphere is also great, it was lovely to sit outside and have lunch in the sun! They also have a good selection of wraps, sandwiches and continental breakfast food! Highly recommended to swing by if you're in the area!

Popped in for a takeaway latte. Lovely coffee and a friendly welcome. 🙂

Great coffee. Great staff, who were attentive and friendly.

Lovely mochas! Good service - very attentive. Love coming in here.

Wanted to come for a while. Menu quite limited especially for lunch. What we had was nice . Weird table layout with tables all joined in the middle. Everything was ok but nothing very memorable. Would go back to try the coffee and breakfast

The best coffee shop in Farnham! George and the team are brilliant and so welcoming! As I only live 30 seconds walk away i use them a lot and coffee is brilliant! Highly recommend Coffee and food!

Fabulous little gem of a place! Visited for the first time a few days ago, but it definitely won't be the last. Perfectly cooked poached eggs on delicious sourdough toast for only a fiver in Farnham? Shhhhhh - don't tell anyone, it's my secret!

Busy Coffee Cafe in the centre of Farnham. Went in for a quick snack. Service was rather slow and the food portions were small especially the sausage roll at £5.50

A bit underwhelming. Sunday morning we couldn’t get poached eggs on toast, they had run out of eggs! Portion size disappointing. Toast size was equivalent to 1 piece of bread. Choice for breakfast not great. With other competition in Farnham, could do with a bit more effort. I probably wouldn’t bother again.

My best coffee spot in Farnham. Friendly staff and efficient service.

Here is an example of a top review of Coffee Diem in Farnham: "I cannot recommend Coffee Diem enough! The coffee is fantastic, always served with a smile and the atmosphere is perfect for a catch-up with friends or a quiet afternoon working. The food is delicious and there are always plenty of vegetarian and vegan options to choose from. The staff are knowledgeable and passionate about their coffee and always happy to recommend a new blend to try. The decor is stylish and comfortable, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. Definitely one of the best coffee shops in Farnham!" 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Love this little spot, chose to sit in the sun outside. Really lovely staff. Lovely food and buzzing atmosphere.

An independent gem set in a very pretty setting. The coffee is by far the best around and the food fresh and tasty. I love coming here, the staff are all friendly and helpful and the owner understands good service.

Magnificent little find, service amazing great guy who was busy teaching a friendly new young lady. Food outstanding, atmosphere, felt like I was in a quaint Parisian street!

We are regular customers and keep going back as it's so good, coffee as good as any in town, food fresh and well presented, stall plentiful and always up for a chat.

Wish it was my 'local' coffee shop but I love visiting from London! Five star service all around.

Really great service and tasty food

Coffee was excellent and service good

I got boba from here (which I usually like) and it tasted cheap and disgusting so was a waste of money. Shop is pretty and good location however.

Was nice to be able to sit outside on a warm day, and the service was excellent. The coffee is really good with a strong and nice flavour. The food was OK but there was too much mayonnaise in the tuna and the wrap was dry, we added apple cake and that was also dry, needed cream or ice cream.

I came for coffee and a bacon sandwich. The coffee was ok. The bacon sandwich was notably mean - hardly a treat. I won’t be back. Why would I bother?

Really friendly and efficient speedy service, thank you.

Good atmosphere and brilliant staff. Definitely the best place in Farnham for a good price.

First visit to the coffee shop and was not disappointed. It has to be the best bacon sandwich I’ve had in a long time. We will definitely be returning.

I am new in the town and I am really pleased to find a such lovely place to have my daily coffee routine. The gentleman there was very helpful when I tried to put my buggy away. All the staff is friendly and kind. Coffee is amazing. I have a bad experience at another place in the town but when I am at Coffee Diem I feel comfortable. Highly recommended.

First time visitor,friendly atmosphere and very good service.highly recommend.

Absolutely lovely. Staff are great. Coffee is great. Food is great.

20 miles drive was worth the experience to be here! I may say that this is by far the best service ever as well. I would recommend this coffee shop to anyone who is passionate about quality. Absolutely delicious foods, amazing coffee, cakes and croissants. Will come back to Farnham just to visit this coffee shop. Well done!

Can get very crowded at the weekend. Good service from the staff. Nice poached eggs.

Prompt service, nice atmosphere, fair pricing, good food/drink Had a flat white with soya and their poached eggs on sourdough, no grumbles here!

I’ve been here a few times on and off ( when I get time to stop ). As the title of my review states, the coffee from here is superb . I love a good, strong coffee . I am such a coffee snob I won’t drink Costa coffee ( unless I’m desperate ) …… I just find it a bit tasteless ( Costa) personally …. I’ve had different food from here each time and everything I’ve had has been very tasty and reasonably priced ( although I would say I felt a little bit ripped off when I had a bacon sarnie - not a lot of bacon for the price…. But I’ll put that down to a one off)…. Anyway I digress, I’ve had a sausage roll ( amazing , very tasty and filling & it came with some salad and pickle which was a lovely addition)…. I’ve had a couple of different soups , which I assume are ‘home made’…… loved them both times , poached egg on toast with avocado - very nice , and quiche with mixed salad and potato salad !!! I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve ever had there and would highly recommend!! If you’ve passed it and wondered if it’s any good, I very much doubt you’ll be disappointed ! Friendly staff/ owners too which is always a bonus !

Great hot chocolate for myself and my daughter, topped off a wonderful Sunday afternoon. The service is excellent, even down to the kids hot chocolate arriving slightly cooler than mine so that no mouths got scalded! Thanks George and Co!!

What a lovely place, the staff are very attentive, Coffee is amazing! Food is lovely, can't wait to go back. Highly recommended

Very pleasant. Food and coffee great. Thank you.

Awful service. Waited 30 minutes for 2 coffees while everyone else around us ordered, got served and left. Complained multiple times and was constantly told that the drinks were just coming.

We visited for the first time and ordered two toasted sandwiches and hot chocolate. When the sandwiches arrived, they were on brown bread. At no point is this mentioned by the waitress or on the chalkboard menus. A simple note on the board would have avoided an awkward situation where one had to be sent back and re made with white bread. Staff attitude was very poor regarding this. Maybe they don’t realise some people cannot stomach brown bread.

Grabbed a couple of coffees. Nice coffee. Place was very busy and service was thus a little hap hazard but all friendly. Sat al fresco which is lovely in the lion and lamb as you can people watch and shops are cute! I would go back and just take the service when busy as part of the charm 🙂. Can get a little warm and steamy inside as well as noisy which might be good or bad depending on your preference!

Advised staff member of our order (2 x coffees) and we were asked if we were sitting in or taking away. There were no tables available, so we asked for take away - which prompted the response that they were too busy to do drinks - but we could try coming back later. We went to the nearby Starbucks instead - who were also busy, but were still happy to take and fulfill our order. We would always look to frequent a local shop over a big chain shop, but turning away customers is a bizarre way to do business. The people you turn away very rarely come back again.......

Great coffee and friendly staff. A welcome addition to Farnham.

Lovely place for coffee and cake. Good selection of cakes for vegans too!

Great independent cafe serving all your faves, delicious cakes and good coffee and service. We were even able to bring our dog inside who got treats when it was raining outside. Whats not to like.

A truly disappointing experience which could have been improved so easily. Having never been to Farnham before it was exciting to find a lovely independent coffee shop within minutes of parking. We were delighted to find a table and be informed by a nice gentleman that it was table service. All good so far. We then ordered our modest lunches to be informed that the first two selections were not available with no suggestions of an alternative or what was available. We settled on two hot cross buns not what we wanted but in the absence of a better suggestion it would have to do. Our coffees arrived which were fine but our hot cross buns took over half an hour to appear, in fact they never did. I went to the till to pay for our coffees and explain that it was too late to have the hot cross buns but to no avail. I paid the full price and no refund nor apology was offered. I was just told that the offending buns would be with us shortly - I am left wondering Easter perhaps?

Lovely little place with nice seating indoor and out

Great coffee so much better than the chains. Locally roasted. Nice simple breakfast snacks with lovely sourdough bread.

Lovely coffee set in a great location down lion and lamb lane in Farnham. I haven’t tried the food yet, but the place is always packed and when the sun is shining there is a lovely ‘holiday’ vibe out on the cobbled streets.

Initially we were a bit confused that Coffee Diem was on both sides of the Lion and Lamb Yard. But the service, eats and especially the drinks were excellent and the place / setting in the sunshine was lovely - it was easy to see just why this establishment is so popular.

Standoffish staff to the point of rudeness, invaded personal space, pressured me for an order while I was standing away from the till and talking with a friend. Shouted the order across the room to the till but also directly into my face. The staff member snapped at my friend and we left before we'd even completed the order. It was EMPTY inside so it wasn't like it was busy. I've been a couple of times before and the weekend staff are lovely which is why I've got the two stars, but what an horrible way to treat someone.

Thank you Coffee Diem for looking after us so well today! It was 38°C outside, but Coffee Diem was lovely and cool. We spent a few hours there with our dog who was given lots of fuss, water and treats. We enjoyed smoothies, coffees, tea, cold drinks and cake. Excellent little café with the friendliest staff

A fantastic turnaround. This is the second time we have visited this cafe and we were delighted to receive the service we hoped for. Our first visit was an awful experience but this time the service was brilliant. I am glad we gave them a second chance and will certainly use them again. Sitting outside in the Lion and Lamb Yard is an enjoyable way to spend some time and having a cafe like this makes even more so.

Took ages for my coffee to arrive. So long in fact that people who arrived after me received their breakfast. Coffee eventually arrived after a moan. Coffee was lovely but only lukewarm. Moaned again. Still happy to take my money. Customer service skills not great. Avoid!

Horrible experience when visiting this cafe on Saturday lunch time. Having a stammer, it can be anxiety inducing to make an order due to blocking or repeating words/sounds. George (the owner) mimicked my stammer. I’m unsure if this was deliberate or just plain ignorant but I was too shocked and upset to find out so I walked away. ‘Friendly, efficient and caring’ is the minimum they expect from their employees. I felt none of this and it speaks volumes when the owner doesn’t abide by his own expectations. I hope people with any kind of disability, hidden or not, are treated better than I was.

Great table service and awesome coffee. Every server was extremely friendly.

Coffee & cake, service very good.

Service and food was great the staff were very attentive and professional. Will certainly return.

Great service, lovely place to spend a nice weekend morning at. All of the servers were smiley and you could tell that they do enjoy working there. Fantastic ruby slice and veggie sausage roll!

The staff was so friendly! George and Jakoba are the owners and they are fantastic. Great food, great coffee and great people

Staff are were friendly and approachable. The coffee here is the best in Farnham. Some nice lunch options on the menu.

Waited nearly 20 mins for are cups of tea. And still my toasted sandwich didn't turn up. This is the second experience in succession.😞 Let us have are teas for free.

Great coffee and service. Breakfast was delicious too, and a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. Also dog friendly which for us is a huge bonus. Lovely place and we’re looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely little café to catch up with friends while enjoying a hot or cold drink and a slice of cake.

Very nice cup of coffee and welcoming to children 🙂

Friendly, efficient, good tea and cake.

The first time we have used this cafe. When we arrived we chose a table outside and I went in to order two coffees. I was asked if they were to drink in or take out. I realise now that I should have said take...

There is comfort in knowing that whenever I visit ‘Diems’, I will have a great experience. The staff are welcoming, the Manager will move tables and chairs to make our visit as comforting as possible and the food is always of a very high quality....

I dropped into here with my partner and little one, after viewing a wedding venue in the area. The place was busy, with a casual laid back vibe. I had smashed avocado on sour dough, with some bacon. It was lovely, although the bacon could’ve been a bit crisper. The chai latte I had was smooth and my partner had a slice of cake which I shared & it was moist and not too sweet- which was great! The staff efficient & attentive.

Small coffee shop, great service . Out side seating blankets supplied to help with the cold.

Great coffee in beautiful lane location.

Very nice place. Friendly staff and good coffee. What I really liked is that it’s not trying to be too cool / too clever - just a good quality, honest establishment with nice service. Looking forward to our next visit. Recommended.

We loved the milkshake and ice-cream here. Although, we did not get a place to sit as the chairs were being moved away, we would like to go back here again.

My favourite place to stop for a great coffee in Farnham!

Great service and staff, good coffee and excellent GF lemon & drizzle cake!

Tasty milkshake and toastie, and the waitress was a dog lover too!

Very nice coffee and good selection of lunch choices. One downside is sitting near the ice cream machine as means people crowding around. Avoid sitting there if possible.

A gem of a cafe in the Lion and Lamb - tables expanding all the time. And now ice-cream is added to the menu. A bit pricy at £3 a cone - but a very good quality and taste.

First visit popped in for a family coffee - very friendly and welcoming, good service and great coffee

We decided to visit Farnham on a whim not having been there for a number of years. We were looking for some light refreshment and happened upon Coffee Diem which looked inviting. Having chosen a table in the sun, we were attended to immediately by...

Lovely coffee ☕ Lovely staff & owner and a Lovely position away from traffic . . . What more do you need? 😎

Really good coffee and great service. Go to place for coffee in Farnham

Great coffee and pastries, definitely much better than the chains. Good quick service too. Definitely be back next time we're in Farnham

Best cafe in Farnham, carrot and orange cake is delicious and very moist (£3), toasties are great (£5) and iced coffee was also very good. Star of show could be the berry smoothie (£3.50). Service is good and very fast, you can sit outside and they also serve some alcohol. Highly recommend.

Lovely place, tasty treats and friendly staff

Came after a walk around the town, I had flourless chocolate which was delicious, nice and gooey , also great coffee
