Monica's Deli in Mole Valley

Monica's Deli is brilliant. Love the food and coffee, go there many times for delicious soups and cakes. All homemade will love and care. It's nice and quirky with great garden.

I have recently discovered Monica’s Deli after moving to Dorking. The food is freshly made delicious and well presented. The place is spotlessly clean. The staff are super friendly and I come back again and again. I can’t wait for spring and summer so I can try out the patio hidden at the back which is such a surprise in a very busy urban setting. Go try it! You won’t be disappointed.

My daughter and I (and baby) visited Monica's on a Monday lunchtime. We were made most welcome; ditto the baby and pushchair. We both had the roasted butternut squash soup, with honey and Thyme, which was delicious and plentiful. There were two other equally tempting home made soup options. We discovered that the squash was home grown on their local allotment! This is a truly unique café where the owners take great pride in producing home made food of an exceptional quality. We will be back!

Delicious homemade fresh salads, pies and cakes. Plenty of space, light and airy and has both outside and inside eating areas. I recommend Monica's Deli!

My Husband and I found Monica's by chance mid- afternoon today, after having dropped off our dog at the doggy parlour nearby. We shared the brie, cranberry and streaky bacon panini, which was freshly made and Monica divided and put on 2 china plates, with a little salad. This was followed by the fresh lemon cake - delicious! My husband had 2 cappucinos and I had a small pot of strong tea, which Monica kindly topped up with hot water. Monica herself served us with a smile - and did not hurry us at all. We enjoyed all of our food, and prices were similar to most delis/cafés we have been to. We would certainly return next time we are in Dorking.

Popped into Monica's Deli for lunch. A warm welcome and delicious food, freshly prepared. We had the brie, cranberry and bacon panini and the chicken noodles and both were delicious. Tea was served in good china and the home made cakes were fantastic. All good value and we will definately make Monica's a regular stop.

Beautiful little cafe, lovely food and extremely welcoming and friendly staff : ) Would highly recommend.

Would recommend Monica's Deli for wonderful food, freshly prepared, and presentation. Home made cakes to die for. We were given a very warm welcome by Monica herself. Looking forward to my next visit.

Very helpful and friendly. She can’t spell cappuccino ! The seating inside is cosy and nicely decorated

Excellent lunches and friendly service. My wife had home made parsnip soup and I had a cheese jacket potato. Coffee was also excellent. Prices very reasoanble indeed. Would not hesitate to go there again when next in Dorking

Lovely home made fare (the vegetables for our soup were even grown by Monica!) in a friendly environment

Monica's Deli is such a treat to visit – a tiny cafe / deli with a beautiful little courtyard garden and a personality to match. The fresh lunchtime menu and delicious cakes are home-made by the super-friendly Monica, with many using ingredients from her own allotment... in fact, I just enjoyed my first ever pumpkin cake (made with her own pumpkins) today! Comfortable and comforting, it's a great place to meet friends for a chat or to take a little break on your own with a coffee and paper, watching the bustle of West Street go by.

Lovely little find with the very accomplished Monica serving up an unusually eclectic international menu for a quiet backwater. Homemade dishes made with love and care. Thank you. Thanks also to David for front of house hospitality.

Loved our lunch at this refreshingly authentic cafe. The five of us sat in the little garden enjoying a range of savouries from a home made Italian prosciutto layer and spinach pie and salad to the house speciality micro noodle stirfries and paninis. Coffee lovely and delightful home made cakes for dessert. Great service. A find we will definitely come back to.

A delightful place with a small menu of very good quality, Italy-centered, food - no pizza & standard pasta, though. Surprising, original and great value for money. We'd go again tomorrow, but the ferry is waiting 😢

My first visit and loved the experience. Made to feel very welcome and the food was first class. Visited with my disabled sister and will definitely be back with the family. Thoroughly recommended.

Delightful little cafe, excellent food, very friendly and welcoming staff. Will definitely not go anywhere else when visiting Dorking!

Found this charming cafe when looking at the antique shops in West Street. We had a lovely lunch of homemade Arancini and Minestrone soup. Delicious coffee and cakes. Friendly, kind owners. Little garden at the back with lots of flowers. So good we came back...

In the café, very recently opened in a charming late-medieval building surrounded by antique shops and opposite Dorking's oldest pub, Monica serves a tasty and eclectic range of world foods, including delicious homemade cakes (with gluten-free options), salads, cheeses, and cold meats. The excellent coffee...

What a surprise! Delicious GF food and lovely and kind owners. I had a great chat with Monica and her husband. In effect she runs 3 businesses in the lovely late medieval building: a delicatessen, a world food shop, and a café selling homemade cakes,...
