However small this establishment might be you can tell this is a potentially family business however still a decent local place to visit. The menu is diverse and the brews are good standard. A good go to if your in the area a fancy a coffee.

First visit but definitely not my last. Went with a friend for breakfast. Really good cooked breakfast, we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Great staff and atmosphere. Good menu, looking forward to next visit.

It’s been a while since we’ve actually been into North Camp centre as roads seem to bypass it. Anyway, we visited today and have to say it’s all looking rather run down and sad from it’s heyday 🥲. Walking along the Main Street (Camp Rd) we noticed a few coffee shops and decided to drop into this one - there’s inside seating and a couple of pavement tables (service is currently table based). Two of us had hot drinks and cake and I opted for a jacket potato with cheese and bacon which was well filled plus a salad garnish (see my pic). Staff really friendly/Covid compliant, service prompt and prices reasonable for what we had.

Went for breakfast here last week. I paid £8.50 for what I thought would be a 'proper' breakfast. I'm sorry, but I don't call one sausage, two bacon, toast, coffee and two eggs a real breakfast. Wasn't even cooked properly. Come on! The public aren't stupid. I know the sausage was a cheap one, and the bacon was crap. YOU HAVE A BUTCHER NEXT DOOR!!!!!!

Lovely little cafe. Very warm and inviting inside. Coffee is delicious and much better than anywhere else in North Camp. The cakes are good too and they even offer a gluten free option. Will definitely be going back.

Popped in to here following a recommendation from a friend. What can I say, what a lovely place. I got a hot chocolate to take away, a drink for my son and then some gorgeous homemade cake! The hot food menu looked great and I will be back to try some soon.

Excellent place to eat whilst wandering around North Camp - varied menu including paninis, sandwiches, salads or breakfast etc. and scrummy home made cakes :) - my favourites are the victoria sponge or the carrot cake - so moreish. Staff are so welcoming and friendly and bring everything to the table for you. Coffee is excellent and always piping hot - usually I have to ask for it hot in other high street coffee shops but not here. There is no rush to leave and you can sit and read or just people watch if you wish. 80's music in the background and lots of 'retro' on the walls. Give it a visit - you won't be disappointed.

Having been popping into another cafe quite close by for sometime now but getting frustrated with the slow service we decided to give the Retro a try. I’m so glad we did!! Fantastic omelette, so tasty and well cooked. Hubby really enjoyed his bacon and sausage sandwich. Spotlessly clean and very friendly staff. Highly recommend you give it a try.

Great cafe to sit and people watch. Always go in when I am in North Camp. Delicious home made cakes etc. and staff are lovely and really helpful. The coffee is excellent and they will even bring to your table for you. Plenty of seats outside on a good day. Some unusual books on the window sills if you want to have a read and staff don't rush you at all.

We called in here for a spot of lunch with our granddaughter, after a little history trip of Northcamp. It's a nice cosy little place with lots of little quirky items. My granddaughter loved the retro Ferrari phone, and a favourite of mine was the police box sign! We all had cheese sandwiches, which arrived with delicious homemade coleslaw and was a lovely addition. The service was good, and they were all very friendly and smiley! Nice and clean, and not overly busy, which was great for us.

Fuimos a Retro en un capricho, tratando de encontrar una parada para desayunar temprano para una reunión. El personal era increíblemente amable y acogedor, a pesar de la temprana hora! La decoración es geek acogedor, con algunas excelentes piezas que hizo el tanto de sonreír. La comida era buena, así como el café. Bien merece una visita si estás en la zona. ¡Volveré!

Yo en este café pop en mi regular en bicicleta el sábado en el canal. Todo lo que quiero es un buen café con leche y un Danés, y algo de tiempo para recuperarse para el viaje de vuelta. Siempre me dan un buen servicio, y te traen el café a la mesa. . No hay que esperar alrededor. como en las tiendas principales de café. Es un lugar pequeño pero siempre me dan un asiento. Todo el mundo es agradable y educado.

We visited here for lunch on a shopping expedition to the charity shops in North Camp. The young girls serving were very friendly, even if they lacked finesse, and served us cheerfully. I enjoyed a very tasty cheese-and-ham toastie and can recommend this if you are visiting. The cafe does have a toilet for patrons, but this is somewhat awkwardly located between two of the tables and so if you sit in that part you have to be wary of the outward-opening door!Would happily visit again next time we are in North Camp.

North Camp is not the most welcoming of places but Retro Coffee bucks the trend. The staff were fantastic from the start. The decor is full of character and interest.

My fiance and I stopped in for a coffee and bite to eat. The panini was delicious, but we waited about 20 minutes after being served food for our coffees. The coffee was good, but the wait time was unacceptable. They also don't have any sugar free syrup options available, so if you are unable to eat actual sugar for any reason, you are out of luck

I've never seen a wider range of herbal and fruit teas in my life! This is honestly a treat for me! My favourite meal on the menu is the pesto chicken jacket potato! It's delicious and wonderfully filling on a cold day. Wonderful decor for you to observe and think of the 'good 'Ol days' while you sip fresh coffee and munch on a range of cakes or lunchtime meals. Breakfast is available before 11, so if you fancy a fry up then make it an early one. Truly a wonderful little gem in this area. Oh and not to mention the staff are very entertaining and will just make your visit and your day that extra bit special!

We call in whenever in the area as it really has got the best coffee in the area (Farnborough, Fleet, Aldershot, Farnham etc.) Always friendly service and has tasty food. Would highly recommend. Amazed to see a couple of less than complementary reviews. Not disputing you can find better food in a restaurant but it is what it is. Excellent coffee, tasty snacks, nice surroundings, reasonable prices and friendly service. Happy to support local independent businesses that strive to supply a high level of service especially when they blow away the large coffee chains in all departments.

We were staying in Farnborough to attend a function, did not know this area at all and wanted a snack and a drink. The local cobbler recommended this coffee shop and were were not disappointed. We both ordered a chicken, bacon and mayo sandwich and tea. The sandwich was delicious with warm bacon, chunky chicken and fresh bread. There was a large range of cakes on offer but we were too full to try. The staff were very friendly and the 80s ambience was great.

I still go to retro--café from time to time--- fun friendly staff , super black Americano coffee , baked beans on toast /or sausage rolls/ or pizza slice--- so why go to retro café when you can buy your drink and food somewhere else--- well I am a super retro dude---50,s ,60,s,70,s, 80,s 90,s music and films and styles and people of that era-- the décor inside is fabulous , the music is to me wicked and great , the staff dress is casual , fun but clean. Love the friendly banter. Facilitys are good-- bear in mind this is a small but delightful coffee shop-- not a large establishment , but the old saying can mean small is better.

In a world of global coffee shop chains, its nice to find a small, independent establishment to pass some time between local meetings. A good selection of coffees, cakes and pastries, although I selected a hot panini and was not disappointed. You can tell a lot about an eatery from whether the locals use it, and there were plenty popping in and out during my visit. Retro in name - supported by period photographs and even old Beano annuals! Will definitely be back for another Retro panini when next in the neighborhood.

You are never too old to relive your childhood ! Loved the photos and annuals. Terrible stressful week for myself. Very kind and understanding staff. Natural friendliness. Coffee needed,and 1 breakfast over 5 days- scoffed the lot! . If they can put up with me 2 or three times a week for a bacon sandwich and a mug of tea or coffee- wicked. Not a business person- Just a place to relax either outside or in . Pete W

I had looked in here before near to closing time and found nothing was available, but actually went in today with the family. We were waiting for the car to be washed round the corner so ordered.Milkshakes were fine although no Banana in stock, but sadly having paid 80p extra for cream and marshmallows I discovered at the bottom of the cream that there were no marshmallows! My embarrassed wife went to query this and they said 'oh we couldn't find any. ill give you a small refund' this never appeared.We also had pancakes although they didn't have any lemon and sugar. They were very average as they were pre-cooked.

Making the perfect cappuccino is not easy. The right amount of throth, not too strong, the right temperature, all must be just right. Today the Retro Cafe achieved that which in my opinion is a rare event. I did not eat, so I cannot rate that but they have a fair range of snacks available. I'll be back to see if I get another perfect cappuccino soon. The staff were very friendly and the table was clean. No loud music which was great, so a nice peaceful break. Only 4 star due to not eating, but a perfect coffee.
