The Press Room in Kingston upon Thames

I am here weekly and on the whole I enjoy my visits. There is a lovely atmosphere, the service is good and the tea is nice. I sometimes order a croissant, and the last 2 out of 3 times it has been dry, as if at the end of its life. Would be great if the staff could be more aware of this and remove items once they are past their best, as they are not cheap.

Great cafe, the staff are always so friendly and make excellent coffee. Shame they have been having WiFi issues recently, last 4 weeks or so, making it unsuitable to work from and I'm sure gives the staff a headache apologising to customers all the time. Hopefully will be fixed soon!

Last visited about three years ago, I enjoyed my latest trip to the Press Room - the cafe (one of 30+ in this caffeine-soaked suburb) with the people-watching stools in the window. The tables have been rejigged, so there are more smaller tables for two, rather than the big shared 'kitchen tables' originally installed when it opened 10 years ago. Gone are the perspex barriers at the counter. It's recently changed owners, but the standards have been maintained and it feels confident and settled. The staff (aren't they always) are key to the vibe. They are bright, smiley and welcoming. It's a real asset to the town.

I visited The Press Room on Sunday just gone. What a buzzy little place it is. Being a decaf drinker, I can confirm they have great decaf coffee beans. WIN! Dine in, was a decaf oat milk latte (Oatly - Barista edition) & it was so good I decided to get a take out, decaf oat milk mocha. To get asked at the till...“Do you want that to be white, milk or dark chocolate?“. I loved that bit. An extra twist to their service. I went for dark and my goodness, was it yummmyyy! They even showcase local artists work, such as @angus_creative (IG account) as shown in photo. I do love a local cafe which supports local artists. 👌🏼 Brownie point there. What's in the paper bag? You may ask...it was a vegan brownie protein ball from @purposefoods_official (IG account). 10/10. I've given 4* because I didn't have a sandwich etc, so I can't give a review on the food. Plus, when I went to order a half price coffee for take out, with the jubilee deal, it was only for hot coffee, no iced coffee / matcha / chai. But saying that, I was very happy with my Mocha in the end. 😊

Really friendly and attentive staff. The coffee and food/pastries are always really nice and unlike a lot of cafes when they're busy, the staff somehow keep the tables consistently neat and tidy no matter how many customers are in the building. The interior has a good amount of power sockets for a laptop worker such as myself, and I've found it's a great place to sit down and work if you need a place to focus. Would argue it's the best cafe in Surbiton, so fully recommend!

I visit The Press Room regularly - for take away coffee and to pop in for a cake whilst I'm doing some work. The staff are so welcoming, explaining what's available and how to check in on their track and trace system. It's a small cafe so they have a system where they like you to wait and ensure others are seated so there aren't too many people walking around. The food selection is limited - some toasted brioche buns, pastries and cakes. But it's definitely a case of quality over quantity. The brioche toasted buns are yummy as are the cakes! Their coffee is fantastic, I also enjoy their smoothies as a refreshing change. As I work here regularly - they really don't mind if you sit in for a few hours (I obviously keep topped up on coffees and smoothies). The seating is comfortable and wifi is strong.

I've always loved The Press Room and the staff work so hard especially during the busy EOTHO times. The host with red hair completes four peoples jobs at once and it is constant work. Also delicious food and coffee - thank you all so much!

I went into The Press Room expecting the outstanding and positive service they always proudly advertise and was left disappointed and disgusted, clearly this fantastic service they speak of is something they preach but do not practise. The service was below what I expect from any coffee shop, unenthusiastic and unconfident people take your order with no sense of happiness or desire to please customers. I was barely looked at let alone spoken to in a kind manner. I ordered a cappuccino, reluctantly as the price was somewhat expensive, and was immediately shocked by how watery and foul tasting it was. Definitely wasn’t worth the money. The atmosphere is poor and forgettable, there is no personality or reason to keep this place in mind for future visits and it’s definitely not worth your money. I wouldn’t recommend.

Great service and welcome.The hot chocolate and coffee are very good,served hot,and tasty.Small but with a great ambiance and style.Shall be returning.

Very busy coffee shop near the station. Staff friendly and good atmosphere. Nice selection of sandwiches, wraps and cakes. Would recommend.

There were hardly any seats to be had on this very grey November weekday so thought it must be good and I’d give it a try. Coffee was very underwhelming I’m sorry to say (Americano) but the service was nice and food looked good. They could do with. A bigger premises; it was friendly and clearly popular but it was kind of packed in there!

Lovely little place that has interesting decor, vast selection of hot drinks (including lots of choice of loose leaf tea for any tea lover!!), great sandwiches and cakes too. Staff all very accommodating and even gave a customer beside me a voucher for making a mistake with his order. Even dog friendly! Definitely would visit again.

I didn’t know the area but needed a light lunch and everything about the place was great! Awesome sandwich, lovely decaf (sorry) coffee, nice staff and good music. Well done all round

what do you say about these places? the coffee was good and the cake was moist, free sample of oreo cake was also good. not so keen on the chairs but if that is the only problem then you are having a good day.

When the sun shines, The Press Room - close to Surbiton station - folds back its front windows and opens out to greet the world. This chummy little independent coffee shop in the heart of Surbiton does excellent sweet and savoury food, good coffee (it isn't cheap - but quality isn't) and teas. I would have to say that the teas are a little overpriced, although they do come with their own individual hourglass timer on a little wooden tray. It's a good meeting point, although the smaller tables really are small, to cram as many people in as possible. A good buzz.

The range of teas, hot chocolates and coffees is such a treat – I have always met friends here, it's a real local gem. Unfortunately, food is a bit pricey and no real gluten free options currently, so I've had to stop coming since being diagnosed with coeliac disease. They had the best carrot cake I've ever eaten! I still pick up their raspberry pastel de natas for my husband occasionally on my way through Surbiton.It is rather small inside and full of people working on their laptops; if you want a seat, come before or after lunchtime – you'll be waiting a while otherwise.

Good coffee, and other beverages (I've had the Chai which was very good).Nice venue, relaxed. Staff friendly. I'd be happy to to have coffee here solo. I very much like the idea of independent coffee houses, and this one is a good one.I have given only four stars because it's unnecessarily (as far as I can see) expensive.

Really worth a visit. Its a place to meet your chums or knock back a hot choc if you feel like one. the interior is nice too

Nice tea but expensive and small measures compared to other coffee shops. Not value for money. Also if you order jasmine tea, you get it in a very heavy cast iron teapot. Beats going to the gym.

Always seems busy and there is a good buzz to the place. Coffee and snacks aren't extortionate and the staff seem cheerful and helpful

I’ve been here with friends for lunch but most recently I came here with my hubby for a tasty cheese and ham toasted croissant for breakfast with the best mocha in town!!

Surbiton has many coffee houses but this one is definitely my favourite! Great coffee, good food & friendly staff. You'll never go back to a chain once you've tried the Press room!

I’m always coming here whilst I’m on lunch break at work, and it’s perfect! They sell coffee’s to suit anyone’s needs, and just an all round nice feel!

Staff are all so nice and lovely and the coffee is Amazing here - also lots of dogs which is adorable

Noisy and cramped, with uncomfortable chairs with no backs. Tea and coffee are fine though and served well.

With great coffee and lite bites to eat, The Press Room is my favourite coffee stop when in Surbiton. Ideally located for the rail station and on the way to Waitrose. Staff are all friendly and efficient. Coffee is excellent and the decor is very comfortable, easy going, with plenty of places to perch or sit with tables. In summer the entire front opens up to the street taking full advantage of good weather.

A lively coffee shop with enthusiastic staff offering good coffee and wonderful food. I had a brie, bacon and cranberry sandwich toasted for lunch.

Excellent cakes and coffees - the kids hot chocolates are a brilliant idea and the carrot cake is to die for.

On Tuesday the 18th of December Jenni and I visited The Press Room, as we felt it had the most Christmassy and fun atmosphere on offer in Surbiton,

Coffeee... Love the place and the people. Staff are absolutely fantastic. Small place with great energy ,good service and good coffee..

Often go to the press room for a quick coffee and always get fantastic coffee and great service. During the week is a good place to do a bit of work in the morning too as have decent wifi

Stopping off in Surbiton, on the way to a football match nearby, I called into The Press Room which is close to the rail station for lunch. We returned from a couple of weeks in Portugal only two days ago and there each place you visit has its own local version of “Pastel de Nata” the custard tart, so what was the first thing I noticed behind glass at Press Room. Yes you have guessed it. Anyway, having visited here a couple of years ago, the quality of the toasted sandwiches are just as good as before, the coffee is excellent, and the staff friendly and efficient. Oh and yes, the tart was just as good. Go, if you have not been, you will not be disappointed

The Press Room is one of our favourite places to get coffee in Surbiton. The coffee is excellent, the staff polite and it has a nice decor. Their different flavours of hot chocolates are also really nice. Their breakfast muffin for breakfast is a favourite.

I’ve been working in speciality coffee for many years in London and living nearby i have been a regular customer of yours for a long time. The coffee itself always seemed to be really inconsistent, sometimes over or under extracted. BUT TODAY i had the best coffee here, amazing tasting notes and perfectly balanced. Keep up the great work guys. And please have some cold brew!!! :)

Had very nice tea here and a great flat white too. Also enjoyed a sesame snaps bar, and sat in the window watching the Surbiton traffic go by.

I actually didn't stay to sample the coffee and cuisine because it was too overpriced. The man serving didn't seem friendly, maybe he was feeling annoyed that I had mentioned the 50 p charge. I guess I can understand that. All the same, his scowls and the cost had me do an about turn pretty quickly,

Oh wow. Popped in for a coffee and business call before heading home and I have to say; cracking cappuccino partnered with a delicious carrot cake! Really close to the train station too!

Great atmosphere. Great staff. Great location. Great coffee. Great smoothies. Great food. Big fan of The Press Room and real asset to Surbiton, the only negative is that it isn't bigger!

Great coffee, fab cake, good staff. Only problem is getting a table but it’s worth chancing it. Recommend the banana bread, toasted....lovely little melting choc chips. Excellent.

Good coffee, hot choc and selection of teas. Food selection is limited although everything is good quality. It’s not cheap though. And the ambience is more trendy than comfortable. Hard seats with no backs. And it’s usually full of loners working on their tablets exploiting the free WiFi. Sign of the times!

This is a fab place for a coffee and a cake or lunch. Friendly staff, easy to sit and people watch, a counter that opens to the street....just a smashing coffee bar and one that’s popular and deservedly so!

Tasty coffee served by pleasant polite efficient staff at a sensible price. Kind of what you’d expect from a cafe in a town near the station. Recommended.

Often pop in here for a coffee if I have shopping to do in surbiton, have never been disappointed. Good coffee and nice staff.

Great tasting hot chocolates. Not sure if they've recently changed their coffee but it's not as great as it was. The place has lost its vibe too recently from when I first started going.

A wet miserable day but lovely flat white and breakfast muffin soon had me forgetting the weather! Modern but welcoming decor and it as packed at 10am so that tells you all you need to know!

I love the dark hot chocolate and coffee from this place! I'm a huge fan of coffee and they know how to make it, right temperature (not burnt at all), creamy and frothy enough. Staffs are very friendly.

Such a great buzz to this small and interesting Indie coffee house. Their Flat White is seriously good! And with an ever-changing gallery of amazing art from local photographers and artists on the walls, there's always something cool to look at.

Recently visited this cafe looking for a good flat white, unfortunately the coffee was too bitter and milk to hot....

Wanted to title as "Best coffee in Surbiton", but others were faster than me to praise that delicious gem in...

Place: Perfect coffee shop setup. Quick service and easy to sit and relax, option to sit outside too. Great atmosphere....

The food is good and the service excellent. The issue I have is the size of the platters in relation to the food and table size. I had a croissant which was a quarter of the size of the wooden chopping board it sat on, the board was just over one sixth the size of the table. Why not just use a proportionate side plate? As a customer I'm not into boards, slates, trowels, mini buckets, spades etc for my food to arrive on.

Tengo que decir que tienen la mejor variedad de té de hierbas y té me refiero propiamente dicho. El té de energía es increíble y realmente te prepara para el día. El personal es amable y el ambiente es buena también. Wifi gratuito, así que puedes trabajar y tener una taza de té.

Han sido para el café un par de veces - siempre llevar, así que no puedo comentar sobre agua potable. El personal es amable y el café era de buena calidad.

Gran lugar - sin duda mi go-to lugar de café. Normalmente tienen exposiciones de arte en las paredes.

Buen café y excelente selección de pasteles de una linda cafetería. Sin duda merece la pena una visita.

Nourriture très bonne, ambiance agréable mais l'endroit reste assez petit.

Love the Press Room. My wife and I always stop here and get our coffee. Staff are all young and vibrant and impeccably polite. And we love the almond croissants and particularly the banana bread.

I say average as the guys working do nothing wrong, it's just so expensive to eat here. Coffee is nice, great in fact and not that I'm regular I do pop in from time to time. I only have one answer to the costly food is to cover the cost of too many staff on. This is what slows down service, some clear roles need to be assigned and stick to them. Very flappy and hectic at times and for such a small shop it could be an oasis of calm.

When I walked in, I saw a lot of different solo visitors, working on their laptops. Great place in the centre of Surbiton to work for a couple of hours. This is my third visit. Sadly the internet didn't work again. So I will finish my coffee and go to Starbucks instead for a 1 pound filter coffee to finish the work.

Love this place but ...Today service was really pleasant, flat white was gorgeous but I thought my pain au chocolat was being warmed but instead it was squashed flat on the grill/toaster which was disappointing. Then used the WC which seriously needs redecorating and some TLC. I often rate cafes, restaurants on the quality of their WCs as if they care and look after them, they must do even more in their kitchens and on other areas. Come on Press Room, don't let yourselves down in the loos!

Welcoming space, great coffee and snacks. Really lovely to sit and work at as well. Very friendly service!

Without a doubt this is where you'll find the best pot of tea in Surbiton! In fact, it's better than many of the offerings in expensive London hotels. The individual teapots given to each customer, even when 2 friends request the same type of tea, puts the nearby competition to shame. But, what really makes The Press Room special is that the customer is greeted with a broad smile which, when faced with the demands of a particularly fussy customer (me!), is still as welcoming. My awkward request was granted as if it were no trouble at all. I'll be back!

I've been coming here on and off for a while and I can't fault it. Ok it's bit pricier than the chain coffee shops but that's to be expected for an independent shop. Service is always fast and friendly and the vibe is really chilled. I'd much rather come here than save a bit of money at Starbucks or Costa. Highly recommended.

Some of the best country I've had in the UK. Despite this, the service is friendly and down to earth. It feels like a community, welcoming place.

My favourite came is carrot cake and I'm always on the hunt for the tastiest. My old favourite used to be from The Bay Tree in haywards Heath (at a hefty price) but now I can confidently say that The Press Room has amazing carrot cake, and at a really decent price! I'm looking forward to trying their other food/cake soon.I also had their milk hot chocolate which was very light and not at all rich, not my favourite hot chocolate but still lovely. My SO had a latte but did not think much of it, said the coffee wasn't to his taste.The staff were friendly, the atmosphere is nice, I'm definitely coming here again.

I visit this place every Sunday around noon. I did the same today, and the shop was very quite, which is very unusual. this place is normally packed. I ordered extremely hot soya latte and palma ham sandwich to go. I got a coffee, which did not look right. So i asked if this is my order, then i told them i ordered extremely hot soya latte. It was a mistake so they corrected the mistake and gave me a wrong one. I waited a few min and gave me the sandwich. When i got home and opened the bag, I found that sandwich was not the one i ordered; it was ploughman 's sandwich. I was quite disappointed. I called the shop immediately telling them that you guys gave me a wrong coffee and the sandwich. do you know what they said to me? nothing they can do now. All they can do is when i come to the shop, they will give me the right one. what a joke. I spent nearly £9 for what? wrong drink and food????? This is just laughable. I understand people make mistakes, so that was fine. but what upsets me the most is their attitude. What is worse, the shop was very quite....what is their excuse? really. they cannot even apologise to me properly. seriously.this is just a joke. I will never visit this place again. If the owner is reading this, I really demand the explanation.

I came in last saturday, and was very surprised at the energy and joie de vivre the barista had, in comparison to other cafes i have visited post-brexit. Your employees have seemed to be able to keep a joyful optimism about the current state of affairs that i regret to say other baristas have not. It was a breath of fresh air and I thank you for that.

Nice atmosphere, good coffee and pastries. A bit pricey but that's what you pay for the atmosphere. It's the closest thing to a "Shoreditch-style" coffee shop you get in Surbiton.Nice for a coffee with friends, for reading a book alone or to go and work for a couple of hours.

Very good coffees. They have origin coffee which is very hard to brew correctly and I'm happy to say they do it very well here.

It's not just the positive vibes and great staff who work there but their coffee and barristas are OUTSTANDING! ... together with all the eateries provided; the orange polenta cake was to die for and in fact everything I've ever tried on our two visits there. You can buy your coffee beans there too. This is the best Indie coffee place I've ever been to. Just wish we didn't live so far away, but we'll be back when we can! :))

This place has the best coffees .. I usually drink a dark chocolate mocha .. Which they make with real chocolate and words fail me.. They also have homemade cakes and they also serve sandwiches. Staff are friendly .. There is free wifi and it's quite popular with the local population

I come here a few times a week to do work or grab a quick coffee. The coffee is great, food is delicious, and the staff is lovely. I can't think of a better place to go to for coffee in the area.

I've been using the press room since it opened. Solo when trains delayed, to do some work, with the kids before shopping....it works for all needs.The coffee and cakes are brilliant and the service is quick with all the staff being really nice & friendly.

We've been going to The Press Room regularly since it opened in 2012, and it's still our favourite coffee shop in Surbiton and Kingston. Delicious food, coffee, tea and smoothies (especially the Green Machine smoothie). The staff are always really friendly and efficient, even when they're rammed on a Saturday afternoon. Very relaxed and cosy vibes, and lovely little touches with presentation with the tea and food. The carrot cake in particular is second to none - I've brought people from all over the place to Surbiton to try it, and no one is ever disappointed. The staff at the The Press Room were even kind enough to help my boyfriend get one specially made for my birthday recently, which was an awesome surprise (I think I might be a bit obsessed!). All in all a really special place for me and my family in Surbiton. Highly recommended.

The pressroom is a nice little book cafe, they make decent coffee and it has a nice and quiet atmosphere. The entire front of it can be opened so it is not too hot on warm days.

Busy, pleasantly friendly but not too intrusive, you can feel incognito. Coffee ok but flat white quite strong, lovely smoothies, snacks and sandwiches

I have become a regular visitor to London as I am developing a business interest down here. My sister lives in the area and I wanted to find somewhere locally to chill out with my thoughts, laptop and a good coffee.I discovered The Press Room a few months ago and it has now become my place of choice. The coffee is consistently excellent. I love the snacks - I haven't tried them all yet! - and the ambience is perfect for me. The staff are really pleasant and helpful. They never seem stressed or disinterested unlike so many of the rival chain coffee shops. Today is a good example - the server looked at me straight in the eye, was really pleasant and seemed really genuine about ensuring I was happy. One day they'd run out of my favourite stuffed croissant and, even though there was a queue, someone went around the back and made one for me without hesitation. Bottom line - I'd recommend this place to anyone if they want a genuinely nice place to sit and have coffee and a light snack.

Went for a coffee and read the magazine when I had finished the coffee I was asked to leave as they were getting busy and needed the tables for other customers. Well I go into coffee shops to socialise and meet people on this occasion I did not have a chance to do so.

Enjoyed a coffee here with a muffin. Very fresh. Lemon crush and a chocolate brownie for my daughter in law. We had a little one in a buggy with us and were made very welcome. The sandwiches looked lovely though we didn't have time for one this time. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Had a lovely tuna melt, raspberry natas and pot of cranberry/apple tea. All tasted great and so good to find a coffee house catering for non-coffee/caffeine drinkers. Excellent.

After extensive research this place makes the best flat white in town with The French Tarte close behind.

The White chocolate hot chocolate is quite literally HEAVEN ! Made with actual flakes of white chocolate instead of powdered chocolate. Probably the best hot chocolate I've ever had ! The staff all seem friendly and polite - they do have a LOT of staff working there, I counted 8 one time and that was a week day! But I suppose the more staff there are, the better the service ! Great little place to catch up with friends over a coffee and some good home made cake!

I have been coming to the press room for a couple of years now. They have a great layout for if you want to read or with friends. A nice feature is that when it is sunny then they open up the front of the cafe and have a breakfast bar so you can sit in the fresh air. I used to love their coffee but have found that recently the quality has got a little inconsistent, depending on who is serving. They used to do an awesome flat white but now it is just like a small latte - just very milky. However the blend of coffee that they use is really distinct and good. They have nice cakes and food but could do with more variety so probably not great for lunch.

You can't go wrong here if you want great coffee and a good treat/snack. We love their pastel de nata and tried their raspberry one which was yummy! Definitely recommended.

Nice spot and great coffees. Good place to sit and relax and read the paper or do some work. Paninis and food feel a little overpriced but are tasty and coffee is excellent. Nice atmosphere and good music choice in the background.

The Press Room is an excellent coffee shop with an amazing atmosphere. It is often busy. My usual take away flat white is always great but the thing that makes it brilliant is the staff. They are always very friendly and try their best to go the extra mile. I would highly recommend a visit. Coffee, service and value are all on point and consistently great. Thanks! :-)

My first visit was on a hot day so I thought to grab one of their 'Melt" cold drinks. By far the worst cold drink I had ever tasted, it was room temperature milk with a faint hint of chocolate. I passed it back and asked for more flavouring, staff were more than happy to do so. However the second one was almost as bad.I visited again today (another very hot day). This time I ordered a 'Frappe' although not before checking exactly what it consisted of. I was informed it was coffee, crushed ice and a little bit of milk. I was offered a free syrup but declined as I wanted a coffee.I thought it couldn't get worse than one of their 'Melts', it did. There was no crushed ice in sight, it was again a glass of semi cold milk with no flavour or colour whatsoever. I handed it back and asked for some caramel syrup but that couldn't save it. What was especially weird was that it came in two glasses(?) Needless to say I didn't make it to the second glass.I have had a sandwich before which was tasty. Croissant today was below average.Staff are nice. Wifi is decent.

Met a client here for a brief meeting. Enjoyed being able to sit outside and discuss matters discreetly and with a fantastic cappuccino to nurse while doing so. Clean, tidy and good service. Recommended.

We had a stunning Mozzarella and tomato panini while watching the world go by. The staff was very friendly, the place was clean and we truly enjoyed it.

Well situated in the centre of Surbiton, near the Station and Waitrose. It was a warm day and I needed a cool coffee bar, making great coffee. Well I got the latter, but the temperature inside was very uncomfortable. They do have seats outside, but they seemed too unstable to be safe. The front of the establishment does open up, and this is exactly what was needed. However, coffee was great as was the service.

You can get good coffee here. I usually get the v60, but also have had the espresso. There are snacky bites too, like cakes, pastries and sandwiches. Free internet makes this a good place to sit and work for a little with a coffee. A definite upgrade on standard coffee chains like Costa or Starbucks in my opinion, as the coffee is much better.

Un cafe tres sympa ou vous trouvera le meilleur chocolat possible, et vous avez le choix de le demander au chocolat noir ou au lait , parfait. En plus l’établissement propose de payer en avance un cafe pour quelque’un du quartier qu sear plus tard de passage et ne pourra pas ce jour la se payer un cafe . Sinon les cookies sont aussi délicieux . Je na i pas encore gouter le menu sale car je n’y suis jamais a la bonn heure pour cela . l endroit est aussi tres convivial et de nombreuses personnes y restent assises tranquillement en bossant sur leur ordi et le weekend les gens s’y arrêtent de bonne humeur pour faire une pause . Personnel discret et tres sympa .

if you fancy quick coffee before ur travels this is the place also its great independent coffee place in Surbiton with range of coffees

Great latte - best we had in UK. Delicious croissant served on platter with cutlery for sharing. Clean restrooms and plenty of reading matter.

I've been meaning to visit here for some time after driving past numerous times down the high street, and I can thankfully now say that my wait was worth while! Visited on a busy Saturday afternoon and was immediately greeted and served by a friendly member of staff. My Flat White tasted wonderful, a real quality coffee and I loved the pretty little red mug it was served in (and the milk art too!). The Tuna & Cheddar panini was equally as pleasant and was served swiftly after the coffee. All in all it was lovely visit and I hope to be back in soon to sample many more of your coffees :)

Just arrived in Surbiton from Bath, which is one of the centres for speciality coffee in the UK, and dropped in to the Press Room. Great place, buzzing with activity, families with children rubbing along happily with creatives scribbling away. Speciality coffee sometimes has to be discovered and I notice that on the list of drinks here there is a V60 brew. This is definitely a specialist method of making a special cup, and quite a tricky one to get right. Well I am sitting here with a fantastic full bodied Kenyan filter tasting of apricot, lemon and honeysuckle. Brilliant! At the door these guys have a bell to ring if you love the coffee. Reckon I'll alert Surbiton on the way out by making a lot of noise!

We visit the Press Room on a regular basis and are never disappointed. There is an extensive drinks menu, the coffees flavoursome and the milkshakes are very tasty! Cake portions are generous and there is a lot of choice. We have had lunch here and were left feeling very satisfied! Several great lunch options for vegetarians are available :) much better than the standard chain coffee shop experience

Living and working out in the sticks the only things that pass me are pheasants, wily foxes going back to their dens first thing in the morning or the odd badger scuttling around at dusk. To find myself in Surbiton late on a Friday afternoon was like going through a black hole - anyway I digress! Being given instructions by my friend on where to meet her after work I set up camp in this quite busy, yet friendly café.There was enough room on the window bench for me to get on with work and watch the world and its wife go by. The coffee was one of the best I've tasted and when the friend arrived I was introduced to the lemon drizzle cake and the lemon and lime crush - something that my conservative tastes would never have considered! I can't complain about the drizzle cake either - very moist and zingy!What I liked too was the community feeling to the place - there is a book swap section and also the option to buy a second coffee that is given to someone in need - excellent idea!You can also ring a bell as you go out if you liked the coffee ... and yes I did ring it (once only - honestly.What is great, too, is that you have two hours free in the Waitrose car park just a minute - fantastic for my horse and cart - next time just got to think where I can park the geese!Honestly though, great café, great prices, great ambiance! Well done!

The best coffee place in Surbiton. The coffee tastes of coffee. They also have good cake, wifi, and electrical sockets. Lots of people use it for work or study. (No sofas, if you want sofas, go to Nero round the corner).

Been here quite a bit always get the mozzarella, pesto, tomato panini. Really nice, would definitely sit in to get the little extras like crisps! Quick with smilie people working there. Quite pricey though
