Fig Tree Coffee Lounge and Tea Room in Mole Valley

Hopefully this excellent coffee lounge will re-open soon. Visited just before the lockdown and had an excellent lunch in the sunny garden room. The staff were very friendly; the food was of high quality, well prepared and the prices were reasonable. It's well worth a visit, as it is home to a very large, fine quality antiques centre. We spent at least an hour browsing and purchased some silver (there is a wonderful selection of genuine silver and objet's d'art here). Dorking remains an old-fashioned market town and this tea-room is a gem.

Had a lovely couple of hours here today. Food was delicious and we weren't rushed in any way. I liked the conservatory setting. Would definitely return here again.

Only one person serving who refused to serve my mother a cup of tea, as she said she was too busy. Only had time for regular customers. We won’t be visiting again. Avoid.

Excellent staff very friendly. Sandra makes you feel very welcome! Cake especially the Rock cake delicious ! Well worth a visit it’s a hidden gem in Dorking

This cafe in the heart of West Street is still thriving and delivers quality food and service with friendly staff. A real hidden gem. Lovely decor and seating arrangement, what's not to like?

Meeting friends in the heart of Dorking, and what a lovely find it was. Lovely tea and coffee. Quick snack and a treat of cake. We sat in the beautiful shop setting of antiques. We had a lovely few hours, with great service and no pressure to leave. Definitely worth the trip. We had a ploughman’s and you could easily share as the portion size was generous. Very reasonable pricing too. Simply thank you we will return.

Have often walked through here as I have perused the many delights that are on sale in these fabulous antique rooms but stayed for a bite today and was not disappointed. Met with friends and we had an array of drinks, hot and cold, and a lite bite which was plentiful and very tasty and reasonably priced. Was surprisingly cool inside as well, knowing everyone was baking in 30 degree heat outside! Staff were extremely accommodating and polite a nice place to stop - I will be returning 😍

Love love loved its tiny but perfect. The staff welcoming from the moment you walk into the antique center Christigue in West Street if your in need of a pick me up and your in West Street do stop by their cakes are devine and a great range of drinks and lite bites and when the ladies recommend a nice slice I would seriously say go with it and I have to say the carrot cake is beyond words yummy lol next time I'm in Dorking, Fig Tree here I come

My sister, mother and I have been coming here for years. We certainly wouldn't be coming back if it wasn't so good. The food is always fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. Sandra is a truly lovely and professional waitress: unfailingly helpful, polite and friendly! The cafe, at the rear of a wonderful antique shop, is tranquil and very pretty with its huge glass dome allowing much light even on a very grey day. Tables and chairs are very clean and comfortable and it's always a pleasure to drink tea from a beautiful Villeroy and Boch service! An elegant and charming cafe which comes very highly recommended!

I've been going to this cafe for a few years. Always excellent service and great tasty food and coffee. Can highly recommend the coronation chicken. Wonderful little hidden seating area under fig trees out the back (best in late spring/summer/ early autumn). And you can wander around and look at the antiques/ interesting gifts. Has a good selection of papers and magazines to read over a coffee.

Our visit to The Fig Tree is aways a pleasant one, delightful surroundings and the patio garden in the summer is a hidden treasure, always such a lovely welcome from Sandra and all the ladies, we love our weekly visits, great coffee and food! Marlene and all the Zumba girls x

Been regular frequent visitors to Fig Tree for a light lunch ever since it opened. Never fails to please. Sandra is always so welcoming to us as is Dee when she has time to pop out of her busy kitchen. A haven of tranquillity. The sandwiches, toasted or not, are always good with a tasty generous garnish and there's a wide selection of teas. We seldom get as far as trying the array of cakes but on occasion when we have visited for just tea and scones, obviously homemade (by Christine the owner ?) these are good too. Choose from tables in the tastefully decorated bright and airy glass roofed area, the cosy inner area surrounded by antiques or weather permitting the plant filled small walled garden. A gem!

Best little coffee shop in Dorking Sandra is always so friendly and welcoming and she makes my coffee just how I like it the scones are cakes are irresistible Did visit on a sat but not the same as Sandra not there and the waitress that is can be a bit off hand with payment and coffee not to my liking.

Love going to this café it is so comfortable and clean. The food is always good and plentiful. Service with a smile

Service was excellent. Cafe was very busy but the only waitress Sandra, worked really hard to ensure everyone was served quickly and courteously with good humour. The food was fresh and tasty and well presented. The setting is lovely within an antique shop with a charming small garden.

Sandra is so welcoming and runs a lovely tea room. The atmosphere is cosy, relaxed and lunch is always very good and the enormous rock cakes are to die for. If I can't fit one in I always take one home. I will keep coming back, thank you.

This is a great place to relax with a morning coffee and newspaper. Attached is an interesting antiques shop which adds to the ambiance.

If you are looking for a good cup of coffee then a visit to Fig Tree is a must. Found this cafe about a year ago and have been a regular visitor during the week ever since. Amazing coffee , home made cakes and a great service .

Have enjoyed several visits. Great location - huge teacakes, pleasant waitress. Would recommend it for tea

The surroundings are lovely because you're sitting in amongst beautiful antiques. The coffee was fine and I assume my friend's tea was OK too. The problem was when we came to pay the bill. We decided to pay individually so I gave the waitress who served us my credit card first of all but was told the amount was too little (£2.50) to pay with a card. Fine, so I gave her a £10 note, which is all I had since I rarely pay cash anywhere these days. This was also refused. She tried to insist on coins. She said she didn't have enough change. At this point she had the till drawer open and it was full of change! She tried to insist I give her the exact money but as I didn't have anything other than the £10 note I offered that again, or my credit card and after some discussion she eventually took the note. Very strange. I don't think I'll be going back.

We came upon this coffee shop when ambling around Dorking and what a find! Lovely wicker furniture and an outside area which was full of lush greenery which we plan to try next time. We enjoyed a lovely lunch served by a lovely and attentive waitress. Can't wait to go again and maybe try some cake!

I visited following a recommendation and what a treat! Small area surrounded by glorious antiques and preloved Objet d'art.I found a table - it was busy today. The staff were welcoming and efficient. Beautiful lemon drizzle cake that I can thoroughly recommend.Next time I am in the area, I will definitely make a return visit.

Visited this coffee shop as I'd heard nice things about it. However, the latte I ordered was too strong and gave me a head ache, and the woman who appeared to be in charge was incredibly rude. Upon asking for the bill, I was told " I'm too busy for you, I don't have time" then walked off. Wouldn't visit again unfortunately.

The Fig tree is a little gem found inside Dorking, We are always welcomed with friendly waitresses and sat down to a clean, friendly environment! The Cakes are Superb! I haven't had any cakes better! The service is extremely quick and there are never any mistakes! I can't find find anything at all wrong with this beautiful cafe!

Unless you see the 'A' frame board outside, you may not be aware this tea room exists until you stumble upon it by accident when wandering through the Christique antique centre. It is certainly a find.The place is small, atmospheric, and a haven of quietude and peace in attractive surroundings. You feel totally unhurried and able to enjoy your tea and cakes to the full. Worth diverting for.

Lovely food, toasties are fab, unrushed and relaxed atmosphere in a garden room of an antique centre. CHARMING. Bonus is the shopping.

Well hidden at the back of an antiques shop is this delightful little tea room. The decor is very pleasing, light and bright, with only 5 or 6 tables. Some tables outside in summer. The menu is simple, sandwiches, toasties or baked potatoes with a lunch time soup and afternoon cakes. The service is prompt and efficient, the quality of the food second to none. Dishes are served with crisps, potato salad, coleslaw and lettuce. This is a most pleasant place to while away an hour or so.

Called in to the Fig Tree for a quick coffee and chat. Such a beautiful little coffee lounge and garden. We sat in the garden which is full of plants and very peaceful. Stayed for lunch, which we had not planned. Small menu but enough to choose from. Served quickly. Staff were very friendly . We will be back for another lovely lunch.
