the Orpington in Bromley

Not your average cafe. The pancakes are so fresh and delicious. You do need to go early if you want pancakes as they seem to be a favourite. You can tell the owner is really passionate about what he does. I would highly recommend. Lovely local cafe, looking forward to going back:

Amazing as always! I have loved this place since my first visit. Staff are always happy to help and are cheerful and polite.

Delicious food and very nice Service. We had a very enjoyable lunch today at The Orpington Cafe and Record Store. The homemade soup starter is always worth having and tasty and we also enjoyed the Fish pie and chicken schnitzel. We can recommend The Orpington and look forward to our next visit.

We were looking to try somewhere new, trip advisor listed this as No 1 restaurant in the Swanley area. We lunched here today and were not disappointed. A fabulous lunch, very tasty, excellent service from Scott and his team, who were all very attentive and welcoming. Outstanding! We will be back, thank you. Terry & Gill

My daughter and I had a Brunch here yesterday and really enjoyed it. The service and food was fantastic we would really recommend that you try this place if you are in the area. The staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and the food ….. just perfect We will definitely be returning next time we are visiting family in Orpington

This cafe is outstanding. Scotts team is exceptionally good at making you feel welcome. Highly recommend the food & coffee. 10/10 l. We will be back!

We’ve had breakfast here many times and always find the food great and staff to be super friendly and professional. It’s pricier than some other places along the high street, but it’s worth paying the extra in my opinion

Saw the good reviews so thought we’d see what the Orpington was like. The previous reviews were dead right! I had the classic English breakfast and my wife had eggs Royale. Both were superb and the service was excellent. I think we’ll become regulars…

I had my 60th birthday family celebration in the private dining room. I have been to the Orpington multiple times in the past and it is always consistently excellent. The food, ambience, service and attention to detail is always first class. We had such a lovely morning having brunch and you don’t have to pay for the room you just have to spend over a certain amount which was easily done with the array of food and drinks on offer. The fresh juices were the best I have ever had and everyone ordered different brunch dishes which were all fresh, hot and excellently presented. A day I will always remember.

We came here for my sisters 60th birthday brunch on Saturday 6th January. We were in the private dining room which made the occasion even more special. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. Thank you so much for making our time with you so special. We will definitely be back. Xxx

"I booked for the New Year’s Eve brunch for me and two friends. Service was quick and very friendly as has been in the past. The food choice was excellent and we all chose the breakfast. It was absolutely delicious and cooked to my taste. Reasonably priced and good quality food. Very pleasant experience and we will definitely return to The Orpington."

This restaurant is a must if you want good food, good service at a good price. Staff are very friendly and accommodating and the food is delicious.

Lovely atmosphere and great food. My son said that the pancakes were "life-changing". Service was really friendly and nice to have the records on display and the record store inside. Really enjoyed it and will definitely go back.

Booked for the Christmas lunch with my husband. My husband eats meat and I don’t and neither of us were disappointed. My mushroom starter was delicious. The cauliflower cheese was better than my own and everyone loves mine Turkey and nut roast equally great

Professional, friendly and great food. Would thoroughly recommend. Particularly enjoyed quality of ingredients.

We had this year's first Christmas lunch and it was excellent! Mulled prosecco cocktail; pigs in blanket wellington starter with gorgeous chutney; roast turkey main with accompaniments which was beautifully tasty, and desserts to follow - one trifle, light and refreshing, and one Christmas cheesecake, rich and delicious. All accompanied by Sangiovese rose.

My friend and I booked the set breakfast menu for £14.50. We always get a lovely welcome, and there’s always lovely music playing in the background. The choice on the is excellent and it’s never a problem if you wish to change things slightly. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and actually very good value for money. The app is good too because you build up points, which allows you to have free qualifying items. I’m really looking forward to my next visit.

This is a spot that really encapsulates the character of Orpington: unique, welcoming, relaxed, cosy, family friendly, enlightened, entertaining, bursting with fantastic quality, flavour and choice to satisfy anyone and everyone! Yup, you’ll experience all this at the Orpington through the food, service and wait for it…the music from the wonderful collection of music, on vinyl. I love it!

We visited this lovely cafe for lunch and it was truly wonderful. Staff were welcoming attentive and friendly. Food and drinks were great, arrived quick, hot and delicious. The ambience was lovely playing music and lots of vinyls on sale.

Truly lovely cafe - best service we’ve experienced in years.. genuinely friendly helpful discrete. Food was good value, healthy, well cooked, tasty and nice touches - pleasant background music. Enjoyed perusing the LPs on sale.

Well worth a visit . We had breakfast this morning and the food was so tasty and atmosphere very pleasant. Very courteous staff. Highly recommended. We will return.

My friend and I have lunch here every time we meet up and she is happy to travel from Woolwich to do so as it is such a lovely place to eat amazing food, have a glass of wine (or two) and enjoy a catch up.

Really lovely place for brunch and a good coffee. Great atmosphere, good music, nice selection of vinyls as well. Def gonna make this a regular spot for brunch

Really interesting menu and the usual options for less adventurous. Read well prepared and presented food. Friendly and efficient service. Lovely 🥰

"The staff are lovely. My mother says it’s the best Eggs Royale she has ever eaten and she is fussy. My croissant bread & butter was as delicious as ever. This being our third visit (we travelled about 20 miles to have our brunch here) we recommend everyone should try it. It also has freshly squeezed orange juice which is actually squeezed to order. Many places advertise this product but they have actually purchased it in gallon containers- it is not the same. Thank you. "

We visited for breakfast. There is a good value set menu but we chose from the main menu. I had the Classic English breakfast and my wife had pancakes and extra crispy bacon. The food quality was excellent. We were made to feel very welcome and will definitely be back.

A warm and wonderful cafe. The staff always make me feel welcome. The pastries are fresh and delicious. Very clean and great attention to detail. Highly recommended

Excellent breakfast today at The Orpington. Warm welcome started our positive experience, delicious food and service of an unusually high standard, faultless start to finish. Will be returning soon for lunch and hopefully an evening event in the future too.

OMG - this cafe is truly an experience you have try. The owner and staff are very helpful and polite. The food is out of this world, don’t expect the food to be quick if busy but trust me it is defiantly worth the wait and value.

First visit here for lunch and it was excellent! Will definitely recommend to friends and family! Top marks!

A high quality and quirky establishment that stands out on Orpington High Street. It was an impromptu visit for lunch and I ‘just’ had the BLT, but it was delicious. Not your conventional greasy spoon BLT (not that they don’t have their place too!). Toasted...

Amazing breakfast for me, partner and baby! We travelled from Newcastle and were staying round the corner at the premier inn and lucky to find this gem! Coffee was delicious as was the food. Staff were so chatty and kind too

First class evening going to The Orpington for dinner. We took our daughter who has worked in a number of restaurants and she loved it. Food delicious as always with excellent service. Save room for the bread and butter pudding and amaretto affogato.

Great food, coffee & service. Lovely staff. Always well looked after by Scott, Lou & the gang. If you haven’t tried the Orpington, try it, the consistency is astounding. They aren’t perfect, no one/where is, but they are damn close! Support this local independent business....
