HolmeStores I Coffee, Kitchen & Deli in the Surrey Hills in Mole Valley

Best place locally for a brilliant breakfast, catering for all tastes.

Absolutely gem of a place. The owners used to run a smaller version at end of West Street a few years back which was also great so totally delighted to find a bigger and better version here. And car park just around corner . Staff absolutely brilliant . Polish guy gets a special shout out . Highly highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fresh and great quality - cinnamon bun for the little one and lemon almond cake for the parent. Good vibe and not too crowded on a midweek afternoon. Will be back!

Had breakfast here. Atmosphere was lovely, service, coffee and the food were excellent, and the toilets were even a good experience!

Outside of Sorrel, this place has the best quality food in Dorking. Great and friendly service, too. Highly recommend!

This is a truly excellent café/restaurant in Dorking. The food is served fresh to order and is really delicious. We had the peaches with yoghurt and granola, and the avocado with bacon on sourdough toast. The coffee is excellent as is the tea and the staff are super friendly. Very highly recommended if you're looking for a bite to eat or a drink in Dorking town centre.

Delicious brunch! Lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

Staff were very friendly and efficient without any fussing. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful. Seating is arranged so that you can sit anywhere, long tables that can invite strangers to sit together if they've a mind to. Great idea. I had the vegetarian breakfast. Absolutely delicious. My first visit, I'll definitely be going back.

looks expensive. brekkie 14 quid!!!!!!

Another fabulous lunch. A limited but absolutely delicious menu of really interesting tasty dishes. Definitely a lovely place that is a bit different from the rest in the best way. Can't wait to visit again.

Lovely place! Service is quick and super friendly. Breakfast was fresh and yummy. Can recommend.

Had lovely food and excellent service. They offer something a bit different on the menu which I loved. Keep doing what you're doing guys :)

Favourite place to eat by a mile! I frequently visit and they are always consistent. Exceptional quality, exceptional staff, (they pick their staff carefully and it shows) imaginative seasonal menu, fair pricing (cheapest place for takeaway coffee), and a warm, friendly laidback atmosphere with great decor. Always top of my list to recommend ✨

One of my absolute favourite places, and can't believe I haven't written a review before! Fabulous food, both brunch and pizza. We always feel very welcomed and whenever the menu changes it's super exciting to find out what absolute genius meals they've come up with again! (Although I do miss the Mexican eggs, so crossing my fingers they'll be back this summer!) If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!

I wanted this to be great, but unfortunately, through no fault of their own, I did not get to taste any food as the dishwasher had a sudden leak & the kitchen was shut prematurely. Despite this, I stayed for 15 minutes & ordered a coffee. Sadly, the coffee was not too great. Lacking both aesthetically & taste. The atmosphere here was very nice & the laid back, minimalistic approach to decor lured me into wanting to stay for the drink. I have read the food is very nice so am only reviewing on my coffee & the vibes the place gave which appeared very warming & calm.

Excellent, second visit. Pizza yummy and staff spot on very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend

Wow lovely pizzas and very good service. I came all the way from London and found the most Smiley staff and pleasant great vibes !! I was not sure about ordering a truffle, spinach and garlic pizza, but this turned out to be amazing and so delicate! I am Italian and I loved the combinations of these pizzas, very creative and not the classic Margherita! Will definitely come back and bring friends.

Brilliant food at a good price. I have eaten here many times and it always impresses. The menu changes regularly and the quality of ingredients is exceptional. My favourite place to eat in Dorking.

Really interesting and delicious food. Actually extremely good.

Absolutely incredible food, and very friendly to my son which was appreciated. 😊

Excellent food but why is it never open?

We had an amazing work do here, pizzas are INCREDIBLE, staff were lovely despite 20 people paying individually! Would massively recommend. 👍

We had our business owners get together and we were so looked after ⭐️the service was fantastic and the food was amazing we will be back for sure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best pizza I’ve ever had. What the Duck. ( check the menu ) Thank you Louise and Andy

Andy and Louise have created a wonderful bistro with the best pizza in Mole Valley! A lovely relaxing atmosphere, great service and superb breakfasts!!! A terrific place to enjoy a relaxing breakfast or glass of wine and fabulous pizza!!!

Been here a few times (for their incredible pizzas!), but had such a great meal today that I had to review it. I ordered the aubergine shakshuka with chorizo, which was the best shakshukas I've ever eaten (and I've eaten a lot!). My partner got the duck and waffles - it was so good that he ordered a second portion!! Said it was one of the best things he'd ever eaten. They have a dog friendly area in the restaurant which we hadn't realised, and their drinks menu is brill as well One of my fave places in Dorking

I had the best brunch dish I’ve ever had here on Saturday. The duck and waffle is a must try on the menu! It was so delicious, I even enjoyed the kale and I normally hate kale! The service was excellent as always, flat whites were so good my friend and I ordered a second one each and just a lovely atmosphere in there. Great brunch spot with parking round the back!

HolmeStores is far and away the best place for brunch in Dorking. The HolmeStores Breakfast is really delicious, their coffee is excellent and the staff are always lovely. It's a little pricey but worth it for the quality. Yum.

New menu today and wow what a treat. We both had the Mexican Avocado, we added an egg and halloumi. It was Fantastic - highly recommend giving this a go.

Been a couple of times before, but wanted to take my Mum. As an ex-restaurant owner and chef she's VERY fussy, but I knew she'd love this place and lo-and-behold she was over the moon. Said it's the best restaurant she can remember coming to in recent memory. Obsessed with it she is, all she goes on about. She's just had a hip operation, and when I e-mailed the restaurant to ask when a quiet time would be to come, so we wouldn't have to queue with her hip Andy replied and allowed us to make a reservation even though they don't usually take them on Fridays. From the moment we arrived, they spotted us coming, helped Mum to her seat, got her cushions and were just generally wonderful to us the whole time. Menu as ever excellent. Food sublime. Had the Mexican Eggs, Full English, Ginger Beer and Frozen Lemonade. Chorizo and Hash Browns as sides and shared a Sticky Toffee Biscoff cake for desert. Would give it 50 billion stars if I could. Best restaurant in Dorking, maybe even the world.

We visited Holmstores on Thursday evening and was not disappointed! The sourdough pizzas are extremely tasty…..probably one of the best pizzas I have ever had. The staff are all friendly, it was such a lovely evening. We will be returning very soon 🤗

Food is awesome, staff are awesome, atmosphere is great. We regularly enjoy brunch here and highly recommend it.

Best breakfast in Dorking! Wonderful service! Staff are extremely friendly and attentive. The food is amazing! Mexican eggs are scrumptious as are the mango smoothies. Can’t wait to try the pizzas!!

Loved the Mexican pizzas and hard lemonade (to die for!), and the service was friendly and attentive, and decor comfortable and stylish. We want to come back and try the brunch!

Had the burrata salad with anchovies. Really delicious. Excellent iced coffee. Great service. Was a bit too hot in this nice weather!

This is always a great place to eat, excellent all round and the staff are so nice!

All the potential to be a great little cafe, but unfortunately mostly nice decor with okay food at astronomical prices. My partner and I had a salad (sadly soggy) a sandwich (wrapped in paper with no presentation) and two coffees and it was almost £45. Maybe we chose the wrong dishes but for us the food was just okay. The staff are lovely and make a real effort to be welcoming and warm, and the ambience is nice. Just very overpriced and a bit disappointing.

My favourite cafe in Dorking, customer service is exceptional. The food is amazing and a bit different than your average brunch. It’s always busy and you can see why.

Amazing, varied and original dishes, great service, highly recommended! If the music was a bit quieter it would be perfect!

We enjoyed amazing food on the small terrace at this lovey and unique bistro style restaurant. We went specifically for brunch and enjoyed a shared shakshuka for 2 and tamarind and turmeric eggs. My 18 month granddaughter devoured 2 beautifully cooked fried eggs on sourdough toast . We finished with iced coffee and lemon verbena tea. It was a delightful meal and we look forward to returning again .

Excellent place staff are amazing food is excellent dilly the chef is very talented me and my family come here regularly consistenly amazing friendly and lovely

Great decor, wonderful atmosphere, high-quality food although the portion size could be a little more generous!

Have visited twice and both times had lovely food which arrived quickly, but staff appear stressed and not super friendly! Not sure if we're just chosing the wrong days?! There's a sign saying wait to be seated but no-one greets you or even looks up to acknowledge you being there. Felt like we'd done something wrong just asking for a table when someone reluctantly came over. Lovely place for food but could feel more welcoming!

Really nice place for breakfast. Good coffee, tasty food and friendly staff.

Nice food and friendly staff, was served by a charming young lady named Layla I think but all the staff were very friendly

I eat out regularly across London but have to say this is my favourite place for brunch, and it’s well worth the journey to Dorking! I have to order the same thing every time because it’s so so good. The shakshuka with n’duja is insanely good. My friend ordered the mushrooms on toast which is meant to be amazing too. Definitely worth a visit if you haven’t been already!

Amazing breakfast! Great atmosphere and delicious food, we’ve come back multiple times now and it’s consistently impressive!

What can you say. For me, this is place ticks all the boxes throughout the day from breakfast, lunch and dinner (pizza Friday only!) For starters, the food always delivers. Is NOT your normal cafe/restaurant food, rather fresh, modern to pushing boundaries, and wholesome. Secondly, it’s a nice place to enjoy the surroundings. Clean and rustic’esk. Lastly the folks here care about quality and have a small but punchy deli on site (with wine to go as well as the food with no compromise on quality!) Lastly, and a guilty pleasure of mine, hazy beers and guest taps. Like the food, they know what good looks like and the beers are always spot on. If I was to have it perfect, a frozen glass in the summer would be out this would 😉😉 Some say I am a little obsessed with this place, others know there is no completion like this in Dorking (not saying there are not good cafes, but this hits different….. also a big fan of cobbits!!!) 🤣🤣 Enjoy!

Can't really fault this spot, great for a bite to eat and a catch-up or just a quick drink. Coffees, juices and smoothies are all excellent and their all day breakfast can't be beaten. Not a huge fan of bacon so I was allowed to swap for an extra sausage! All round winning at HolmeStores.

Nice atmosphere , carefully selected ingredients for an excellent brunch / posh dorking so not on cheapest side but definitely worth it for outstanding quality

What a lovely place !!! Our first visit here as we were in the area and fancied a coffee. A very nice, quirky decor...a lovely menu with many options . Very friendly service. Will definitely visit here again.

Five stars for excellent service and exceptional coffee. There's a lot of lovely food to eat here and buy and take home.

Great and interesting range of breakfast and lunch dishes, as well as coffee, tea and cake. Also have a really interesting range of local food for sale. Very child friendly.

Love this place. The food is amazing as is the atmosphere but the best thing of all is the staff. They are so friendly and take the time to talk to you even when they are busy. Today I had the veggie monsieur which was delicious.

Popped in this afternoon for a quick bite following a recommendation and it did not disappoint. Went for the breakfast - so good I didn't get a picture!! Service was exemplary and good delicious. Will definitely be returning, also accommodated our pram with no fuss.

Fantastic breakfast and service. Would 100% recommend. The atmosphere is great here and also there is a little car park behind which is super convenient too. Thank you!

Really poor bacon was stone cold and £6.50 a Fing rip off never again shame not even sure if it was cooked property I left some of it on the plate

We really enjoyed our brunch today. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Definitely worth a visit. Booking a table is recommended.

We loved our visit to this place. Food was so tasty, both went for the mushroom brunch dish. Service was fantastic, sorted us right out given the rush we were in. Gave them a tip which I don't normally do.

Came in for a coffee on the off chance and ended up with probably the best bacon sarnie ever! Great work

Really really good pizza and great service. Would recommend!

We absolutely love coming here for brunch. The staff are so friendly, the food is great and the coffee is the best in Dorking. I couldn’t recommend it more.

I love the food here. Different, imaginative and like nothing else in Dorking, using gorgeous locally sourced produce. On visiting recently in the daytime have had the Buddha Bowl which is gorgeous. Brought friends along too who were also very impressed. It’s nice that it’s also open on a Monday when most of Dorking’s eateries are closed. If we fancy food on a Friday evening this is where we’ll go. Pizzas are original and so nice. I had a caprese salad and flatbread which was the best I’d ever had (tomatoes were absolutely amazing) and the desserts are wonderful. Great selection of alcohol too. A lovely relaxed atmosphere makes for a nice chilled evening

Lovely little eatery.. Gutted they didn't do an Eggs Benedict though.. 😊😊😊😊

Such a lovely local cafe that really pays attention to the little details that make food great. It's definitely on the pricer end of brunch but absolutely worth it for a treat. The food is generously portioned and beautifully presented. Great coffee, too (and locally sourced!).

This morning I stopped in for coffee very good espresso, also had a fresh cinnamon bun Yum Yum

Had the most amazing pizza and salad, both extremely fresh, light and full of flavour! Friendly staff in a relaxed atmosphere.

Both I and my soul mate visited our friends who are Holmes Stores two starters , two pizzas , . Some say pizza is pizza well it ain’t you need to check these guys pizzas out . Top drawer wood fired perfection simply the best well done Andy &Louise your both on the money with what you deliver . Dorking you need to give these guys a try you won’t be disappointed. 🙏

Popped in for a late afternoon coffee, what a delightful place, love the little balcony on the side very relaxing place to sit. Nicely decorated. Will be back

Thursday and Friday nights are pizza nights and the pizzas are fantastic. The people are super friendly and welcoming. Took guests here and they loved it.

Wow. The pizza is incredible. Delicious, inventive flavours, and extremely fast delivery. I literally have no negatives to say about this place. If you want an amazing sourdough pizza with interesting topping choices and clearly quality ingredients then look no further

Yuuum! The best breakfast in Dorking! Enjoying the new summer menu too :P

Was recommended by a friend to go here for brunch and it was a great decision. The space is open and airy and has a nice atmosphere. The staff were very attentive and friendly without hovering. We had the Mexican eggs which were a revelation, and the chocolate banana bread which was also delicious. The menu is quite adventurous but really well done. Coffee was also delicious. Highly recommend a visit - we will likely become regulars!

I don't think there's any other place serving food and coffe in Dorking that can can in any way compete with Holme Stores. Nice atmosphere, innovative and really good food and good consistent coffee.

Edit part 2: the pizzas are delicious! Let's just say it's dangerous that I live so close by. AND they deliver... Edit: have been back for lunch. Delicious. Will be back again soon! Gorgeous place! Really nice atmosphere. We had coffee and cakes. Can't wait to go back and try the brunch menu.

Holmes Place is an absolute credit to Dorking with a great atmosphere, good strong coffee, amazing food and lovely lovely owners and staff. One thing that impresses and inspires me the most about this gorgeous small business is how they completely and effortlessly embody their values - sourcing local products, supporting British small producers, using sustainable energy and eco packaged produce to name a few. And all this without compromising one bit on comfort, experience or flavour. I visit regularly and really cannot recommend it enough - go there immediately!! ❤️

A must stop in Dorking!! I have popped into Holmes stores a number of time and used the owners previous business before and during COVID. They provide great options for those avoiding gluten. I have a very intolerant and they have always taken the utmost care. The food and service is great and I will always remember the extra effort the owners put in during COVID to deliver these great meals to my door.

The food, atmosphere and ethos of this place is a breath of fresh air. So much consideration at every step, from the menu to the staff, all being top quality! I have recommended in person to many friends and family so it’s only fair I make it public as the secret is truly out now. I have been a regular upon opening and will continue to enjoy this absolute gem of Dorking.

Holmes is the best place for Brunch that I ever been too. The waffles are delectable. The staff are friendly. One visit I made my order including coffee and the waffles. I was told I was too late as the kitchen was closed, they guessed my disappointment and offered me a complimentary coffee. That it is customer care.

Absolutely love this place, delicious food, lovely atmosphere and great service. Wonderful independent local business, highly recommend.

We've just moved into the area and we absolutely love it here! The food is incredible, the decor is great, the atmosphere is serene and the staff are positive, helpful and very friendly. You can consider us as regulars, our favourite place in Dorking! Looking forward to our next visit!

It’d be fair to say that one thing we are not short of in Dorking is coffee shops. So what makes Holmes Stores stand out? Well it’s the Goldilocks of coffee shops: not too big that it feels like a chain, not to small that you feel like you are part of three other customers’ conversations. The food is delicious and the menu changes with the seasons so there is always something new to tempt the tastebuds. Service is friendly and attentive, but not so much so that you have to do that awkward smiley ‘no I’m fine thanks’ every five minutes. And the coffee? Well of course that is top notch. And of course calling it a coffee shop is doing it a disservice, it’s so much more than that with a deli on the side and evening meals served on Fridays. It’s a little oasis of deliciousness.

Absolutely beautiful café, warm atmosphere, friendly staff and a delicious seasonal menu! Highly recommend whether you're just popping in for a coffee, brunching with friends or looking for somewhere unique to eat dinner in Dorking.

My favourite place in Dorking for brunch. Keeping up with the times and just what Dorking needed. Please keep the waffles on the menu.. my Dad will be so sad if they go! Also, anyone looking at the reviews complaining about it being cashless need to educate themselves and not be so rude! Keep doing what you do guys!

Awful place. Refused to take cash. A legal tender...wont be back.

The crispy chicken sandwich was one of the best things I've ever tasted. That is all.

Had 3 absolutely fantastic pizzas delivered last night 👌🏽 The pizzas arrived just as they would if you ate in, very impressive! We often eat in but if you’re a little short on time (or Childrens patience) then this is such a great alternative. Thanks Holmestores 🍕🔥✅

Great place to catch up with friends for a coffee and delicious food.

Excellent , fresh, carefully made food that tasted great. Friendly service. Definitely worth a visit.

Such a great place; the staff are warm and welcoming, the food is out of this world and the decor is perfect. I’ve been for both brunch and pizza night and it was so good on both occasions. Will 100% return. Really recommend to anyone!

Excellent food, beautifully presented. Great service. I would highly recommend. Great imaginative menu

lovely food and staff :)) the decor inside is also lovely. a great place to have lunch or breakfast with family and friends

Outstanding. The seasonal avocado & salmon is a work of art, both in terms of taste & presentation. It would happily give any New York cafe a run for its money. Most interesting avocado/salmon combination I've ever had. Fantastic way to start the day. Thank you.

Fabulous food and lovely staff. I can't recommend them enough. It is a joy to visit every time

Very expensive and unprofessional service, food not cooked properly, don’t do chips. I don’t recommend at all!

Gorgeous food, comfortable atmosphere and excellent coffee. Would recommend!

All was well till the lady whom I have reported my findings show no signs of apology. I found a piece of hard bone in my croque monsieur I almost broke my tooth - I understand that it can happen since they have used proper ham but her customer service skills needs polishing for sure! Shame...

Great food, cafe and service. Keep up the hard work thanks!

Fantastic place. Interesting menu. Excellent food and coffee.

Just visited Home Stores for birthday breakfast and it definitely didn't disappoint. Food was great and I particularly enjoyed the waffle with plums and pistachios. Super start to the day.
