Hemmingways of Haslemere in Waverley

Have visited a couple of times but was pretty disappointed with my most recent visit. We were not greeted as we came in and it took a while for someone to even notice we had set down despite greeting and serving customers who arrived after us. We then ordered the sausage ciabatta which I’d have to say is one of the worst sausage sandwiches I’ve ever had, the sausages had absolutely no flavour at all and did not taste like real sausages. This is a real disappointment as they are not cheap sandwiches. Am not sure that I will visit again as I was so disappointed.

Absolutely delicious! Especially enjoyed the london fog and coffee walnut cake 😍

Very good coffee ☕, freindly courteous staff,great cakes!

This place looks lovely from the front. Clean, neat & tidy, with lovely displays of teas etc. unfortunately there was no sign to say no dogs, so we ventured in. Someone approached & said they did not allow dogs. I don’t know who this person was until they offered to put the outside heater on. On reflection, it might be a good idea to have clear signage & perhaps even a uniform for employees, ensuring people know who is serving them. Corporate identity & first impressions count.

The best cafe in this area without exception. Great service, delicious food and polite and friendly staff. I visit almost every weekend, always has a wonderful atmosphere.

Fantastic breakfast and cakes. Have visited a few times and it was always 5/5. A true gem in Haslemere.

Much prefer a smaller coffee shop to the high street chains. Very quirky with a Moroccan theme in the decor. Lots of staff buzzing about for not many customers. It had a family fun feel to it. I’m not a coffee person but do appreciate a good hot chocolate. I ordered the fully loaded hot chocolate and it was one of the best.

My friend and I popped in for a quick sandwich and cup of tea and ended up staying for a couple of hours. A lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. We had toasted sandwiches, tea and cold drinks. They were the best sandwiches we have had for years. Fresh and quality ingredients. Tea arrived piping hot and with water to top up. Highly recommended! Couldn’t fault a thing. Will definitely be returning 😃

I love chocolate cake! BUT a lot of cafes I've ordered it in, provide something that's too sugary, dry or virtually tasteless. Well top marks to Hemingways. They heated the slice a little (just right) and, on request, provided cream. One of the best chocolate cake slices I've had in a long time. Chocholatey, moist and just the right level of sweetness. Don't change things, I'll be back for more chocolate cake!!!

Being a professional coffee cupping expert, I can give 5 stars for this place. Amazing coffee with a subtle boldness to their coffee. Atmosphere pleasing. Thanks

Stopped here on a club ride this morning as was a bit nippy and we wanted a warm drink and a refuel for a lumpy ride we were doing. The shop has a very bohemian feel to it with really friendly and helpful staff on hand to take our order. The cakes and pastries on offer look amazing and the food on the menu sounds delicious which I would like to go back and try at some point. The portion sizes are very generous, and was great for fueling us up for the ride ahead. Coffee options were very good and tasted amazing..........we will definitely be returning if we're passing through again 👍

Yorkshire Tea... in a decent mug. I mean, does it get any better? Oh yeah, the food is good too! Fab chilled out place with a wonderful army of friendly young serving staff. All freshly prepared food and served very quickly.

Everything was great. Food, service, coffee, price. Couldn't recommend it more. The chicken tikka naan was amazing. Loved the nigella seeds on it

Had a delicious brunch and the service was so welcoming and friendly as always. Thank you 😊

Beautiful place, big but still cosy, top notch service and lots of very good vegan options, plus the best Chai I’ve ever had!

Best mocha I’ve ever had!!!! Service was so welcoming and kind. Lovely atmosphere🌟

Love this place, very busy at times but never had to wait long for a table. Basic menu of sandwichs pastries and jackets with a specials menu too. But they are known for their cakes. Sadly I have to watch my sugars but friends tell me the cakes are delicious. Staff are lovely and despite being busy are attentive too. All in all a lovely place to take coffee or have lunch. Thanks guys!

Enjoyed a lovely lunch! Staff are really helpful and friendly.

Nice place but the food is below average and the service is only ok too. We came here three times so far since we moved to Haslemere and each time something was wrong with our order and the food is mostly bland. The cake is good.

Nice coffee, cakes and milkshakes. I've found on more than one occasion some of the customers with misbehaving kids make me want to avoid the place. It's a shame as the food/drink and staff are nice.

Really nice local feel. LOADS of food, drink and cake options. The inside has a lovely vibe, really quirky and lots to admire. Lovely music and layout. The Coffee, drinks and food came very quickly and were amazing. The raspberry ice tea was superb. I’d go to this place over a big chain any day!

The tastiest soy strawberry milkshake I’ve ever had! Even had vegan cream on top!

Had half an hour to kill some time so decided to stop off for a pot of tea and a latte (my other half). The place was filled and bustle with happy chatter. So we sat outside. When the waitress came to bring our drinks, she asked if we wanted to change seats to seat under the outdoor heaters (I definitely did!) they also have nice fluffy blankets on the seats to keep your legs warm! My other half said it was the best latte he has had in ages (he’s super fussy so high praise indeed). So lovely atmosphere, helpful and friendly staff, great products. Will be returning soon to test out the food.

Best coffee in town! Owner is an absolute gem - great service 💎

Found this lovely independent coffee shop this morning and liked it so much popped back in the afternoon for cake and coffee. The staff were friendly, polite and attentive. Thank you. We'll be back.

Great food. Friendly, hard working staff. Enjoyed myself!

Clearly the best coffee shop and café in Haslemere!

Have been enjoying visits to Hemingways for many years. It is still super. I look forward to my next visit. Nice coffee and plenty of choice for food.

Great cafe, good food, excellent service and well priced. Check it out!!

Great fresh food and really lovely staff. I good place to meet friends or read a newspaper on a Sunday afternoon.

Great place with a few vegan options, polite staff, and child-friendly!

What a gem of a place. There are few places in this geographical area that offer such a relaxed informal atmosphere, in fact I'd almost given up looking when I found Hemingways on Google Maps. I took a chance and I'm so glad I did, it is lovely.

Awesome little restaurant in the heart of Haslemere. Service is excellent. Coffee, Cakes and full menu on offer here! Highly Recommend

Amazing food. PERIOD. Service is always perfect, food is always on point, and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Always looking forward to this place, the Oreo milkshake and the peanut butter brownie are exceptionally good!

Deeply disappointed. First red flag is charging extra for dairy free / gluten free items. As a disabled person who has no choice about diet this is really a tax for being ill, which is unacceptable. After finally finding an item I thought was suitable, it turned out even the pesto had wheat in it! So I ordered a jacket potato with mozzarella, pepper, and no pesto. Well there was hardly any red pepper either 😅 a pile of spongey aubergine and courgette which was disgusting. I thought it was impossible to ruin mozzarella but they managed it: rubbery and tasteless. Wish we'd gone somewhere else. Don't waste your time, especially if you have allergies/intolerances!! I should say the decor and staff were fine, and you'd probably have a lovely time if you can eat anything.

Excellent independent coffee shop. Friendly staff and very good food and drink.

Excellent service and sandwiches. Grande cappuccino was delicious also and so many tea choices. Love the falafel

Love this place nice to see an independent coffee shop cakes awesome, can not recommend enough

Been for years. Staff and owner always very friendly, drinks good, service generally good and it’s a good provider of jobs for local young people. Only a 4 as I don’t think that all of the hot food ingredients are of very good quality…

Always good food and delightful staff

Amazing Coffee, friendly staff and great cakes. Happy to support this great cafe!

Lots of dairy free options and nice atmosphere. Staff are very friendly.

This place had delicious cakes and lovely milkshakes the inside is very courful and welcoming, the staff are very friendly and we're helpful with ingredients fir nut allergies. We would definitely go back again next time we are in the area 😀

Great little cafe with good coffee and tasty cakes. We had the dark chocolate dairy free cake and it was just the way I like it: not too sweet and you can pick the amount of chocolate you like. The espresso was ok, not specialty coffee shop level, but good. We really enjoyed the speed of the service on a busy Sunday afternoon, and the genuine attentiveness from the staff. The place didn't feel overly loud even if it was packed, and you can still have a normal conversation with your companion. Highly recommended for a lovely place to spend some time.

Me and my mom have been back here so many times! We recommend it to everyone and I go with my friends! The prices are a little high so we go as a treat but omg they give you your moneys worth!! The only issue we have is when we have finished we have always had to ask for the bill otherwise you wait a long time witch is scary when you have to get the bus but because of there friendliness and atmosphere being amazing and quality of food excellent we give them a 5 star and a returning customer!

Food was great and service was excellent too!

Three of us visited Hemingways on a Saturday and were shown to a comfortable table in a corner. There was an excellent choice of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu, and it was a pleasure to have waitress service. I really enjoyed my croissant with tomato, mozzarella, pesto and rocket, as it was very fresh and tasty. My son and his partner both had topped granary toast, and I was impressed by the generous servings, especially the mushrooms. Service was friendly, polite and efficient. We loved the decor with its display of aboriginal paintings and beautiful coloured lanterns. Highly recommended!

A great place for a light lunch at Great value

Visited here for the first time with friends, Great Coffee and Cake, Friendly Service, will definatley return, highly reccomend.

Casual lunch with family and friends. Very lovely atmosphere and super friendly staff, great selection of eats and fabulous cakes and pastries. The peanut butter brownie was very indulgent and gorgeous, very sweet, however a share of my son's lemon drizzle cake was the perfect foil :-)

Very friendly with great coffee

True Haslemere hot spot. Killer dairy free chocolate cake.

A pleasant coffee shop with plenty of sweet treats on offer but pretty standard coffee

We drove all the way from Gatwick to find this gem of a coffee shop. We were not disappointed! And gluten free on request! Amazing food, fantastic service with very friendly and amenable staff. 110 out of 100!! So don’t go telling everybody!!! 🤫

Great sausage and bacon bap for breakfast, spot on. Thank you

Wonderful British pavement cafe With the weather we could have been anywhere in the world. Plus great food and drinks.

For goodness sake try the marmite and avocado sourdough muffin! So glad I did....

Food was delicious and very tasty. Bit of a wait for a table at lunch time but to be expected as it is popular but well worth it. Definitely will be going again.

Excellent. Food, drinks, service, covid measures, everything was excellent. I highly recommend this place!

Love the turmeric coconut latte!

Our absolute ‘go to’ for breakfast, brunch or afternoon tea. Owner and long term staff are excellent, some of the younger staff need a little more training, but that’ll come over time. Coffee is outstanding, food and cakes are delicious and the ambience is warm and welcoming. Well worth a visit 👍

Great cafe! Go for coffee, cakes, milkshakes, large sandwich selection, great for kids. Clean space and the staff are responsive and cheerful. Quick service. But this cafe is very busy on weekends. Will definitely keep going to Hemingway's when in Haselmere.

Really good coffee! Love this place Staff ✅ Coffee ✅ Service ✅

This is a lovely spot for breakfast/brunch in Haslemere. The food was great, with a couple of vegan options, plus the ability to make switches on some of the options to make them vegan, so I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of choice I actually had. The food was delicious, the coffee good, and the staff very friendly.

Lovely place. Tasty meals and excellent coffee.

Real quality in everything they do. The sandwiches and cakes are excellent - coffee cake was the best I've had anywhere. Nice outside seating and must also say the staff are very friendly and helpful. Great place with real character.

Great menu on offer, waiting staff are on the ball and the food always arrives so quickly

Lovely large coffee with a scone, jam and cream. Naughty but very nice and all for a fiver

Great times!! For all the family

A little slow with food coming out but it could have been due to other people just walking in without waiting to be shown a table before being cleaned, but otherwise the food was fantastic, thank you.

Lovely place. Tasty falafel toastie and coconut milk cappuccino 🤩

Love Hemingways! Very friendly helpful staff. The coffee is excellent. I had a coconut turmeric latte, wonderful taste!

Went with 14 month twins and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Lovely food.

Very nice would recommended will go again

Lovely staff. We have enjoyed popping into this cafe over the lockdown period. Everything was safe, clean and following covid guidelines. Last week it was great to see it open and we never leave without the peanut butter brownie.

Outside seating and take away options available

Nice place for a family bite. Restrictions have improved things as now you don’t have to queue to pay. Kids like it, particularly the fully loaded hot chocolate. Always busy.

Popped over to Hemingways after a great walk around the Devil's Punchbowl. Hindhead was packed so opted to explore somewhere nearby and found this place. The cafe itself is beautifully presented. The staff are incredibly friendly and passionate about the menu. My partner wanted to know more about a certain coffee and they simply whipped up a small sample for her, I've never seen this in a cafe! The coffees and baguettes we had were delicious and filling. We will be back to sample the extensive cake and pastry selection. COVID-19 measures put in place were professional and accommodating.

We use Hemingways regularly, whether for takeaways or to eat in. They have nailed their Covid precautions and serve terrific coffee and croissants (among many other lovely things).

Stopped here for breakfast and had a very nice topped toast avocado thingy and took away a very generously filled bacon bap and a vegan sausage roll. Comfortable, light and airy, pretty decor, friendly staff , Covid secure. It’s not the cheapest place around but it’s very comfortable and the food is good quality so worth the extra

Never really felt like I'm representative of their typical clientele but the food is good and its a nice place to have a break.

Pretty chilly inside I'm afraid. Coffee and sandwich was pleasant but wouldn't be back while the front door needs to stay open.

Haslemere is tiny place, and Hemingways is perfect for visitors. I really enjoy the out door space. It pored with rain but lucky I have cover and kept dry while I enjoy lunch. The staff where polite and friendly and the price point was reasonable. The food was fantastic.

Brilliant cakes, lovely hot chocolate and cappuccino. Highly recommend this place. 👍

One of the nicest coffee’s I’ve ever had! Genuinely lovely and kind staff. What a lovely welcome to Haslemere. We’ll be back!

It's great to sit out side kind staff and good food and great coffee

Great flat white and delicious filled croissant!

Good and fast service. Excelent food.

Interesting little coffee shop. Good food, friendly service and helpful staff. A bit on the pricey side, but worth visiting.

A lovely little cafe where the food is top quality. Had a great meal and a delicious smoothie.

Friendly and smiley service, incredibly amenable with pushchairs and lovely food! The waitress went above and beyond to accommodate us and pretty much entertained my son whilst working which meant I was able to enjoy a coffee! Will absolutely be coming again-

Thank goodness Hemingways have reopened and we can now sit inside again to enjoy the fab rainbow cake, wonderful creamy milkshakes and cappuccinos. We are regulars here and absolutely love it.

It is a real shame. I travel all the way from London to have cake and coffee here and this is the 4th time I come and it is closed. Never again! VERY disappointed.

It is a real shame. I come all the way from London for their amazing cakes and coffee and this is the 4th time I come and they are closed. I cannot believe it that during a busy Sunday just after lunchtime a place like this one isn’t opened. I won’t come back.

Get your takeaway coffee from here - it is MUCH better than Costa's next door imho! :)

Visited multiple times over the years, always very busy with a great atmosphere. Staff are usually polite and attentive. Great place for a panini and coffee. Family friendly and dogs are allowed outside. Highly recommend if visiting Haslemere!

Best place for a family day out, or a date😁

Lovely service, great food and the overall atmosphere is really nice

Great lunch spot with lots of buzz.

This seems to be a very popular place, and judging from our experience deservedly so. Good food & drink with good service. First class.
