Wrattens Gift Shop & Cafe in Bromley

Great place always. Fresh real food and lovely atmosphere. Very warm welcoming area at the back of a lovely shop selling all sorts and set in a lovely position in Chislehurst High Street

A lovely independent gift shop and cafe in heart of Chislehurst Village, always high quality and friendly service. Highly recommend.

I booked an afternoon tea for 17 people as a little celebration for my mum’s 70th birthday. I cannot recommend Wrattens and the cafe enough. Wonderful service from Gaynor and her team and a fantastic relaxed atmosphere. The food was very good, lovely sandwiches, cakes, scones and homemade sausage rolls, all great value for money. The shops itself is lovely, with lots of interesting pieces/gift to look through, whilst the cafe is a little hidden gem in Chislehurst High Street. Definitely give it a try!

I visited Wrattens on the 3rd January 2024 at 12 noon I arranged a afternoon tea for my sisters birthday. I pre booked with a staff member a day before called Jay she was very helpful on the phone and provided great customer service also most importantly checking on dietary requirements very detailed was excellent also considering I tried my luck a day before for reservation she managed to speak to her manager and arrange a table for two she was amazing thank you Jay. When we arrived the manager was very friendly,helpful and approachable. When seating us the staff and manger seated us at a good table the service was outstanding. Very clean lots of options of sandwiches cakes and hot and cold drinks. I had the three tier afternoon tea it was delicious every bite and sip was good quality of food really enjoyed my experience I highly recommend and the staff was absolutely phenomenal really friendly and attentive. I definitely will be back to try the breakfast and lunch options. Thank you for your service and making it a momentum :)

Great staff, great owner, great coffee. Nice chilled atmosphere to grab a coffee a snack and lunch.Located at the rear it’s a quieter place to meet up with friends and enjoy a decent cup of coffee.

This is real gem of a place not only can you have a lovely lunch, reasonably priced Beautiful home-made cake sandwiches, hot food, cold food, everything that you’d want lovely coffees very clean well run by the manageress & staff you can pick up some lovely little bargains in the shop eat and shop in one place, you won’t be disappointed 5 stars gem

I often visit Wrattens on Saturdays for lunch and a catch up with my mum. The staff there are so warm and friendly. I can highly recommend the toasted sandwiches, homemade soups and cakes. This Saturday I had a bowl of broccoli and Stilton ‘soup of the day’ and it was absolutely delicious (the best soup I’ve ever tasted), followed by a warm apple strudel with cream! After lunch we always have a browse through the shop at the stunning dresses and unusual gifts. A gem of a shop in the middle of Chislehurst High Street.

Visit to wrattens today with my partner. Good selection on the menu but we decided on 2 bacon butties wiv crusty bread. Best butty ive had in ages. Lovely friendly staff too.

Took my sister for an Afternoon Tea on Thursday lunchtime in October last year. Great selection of teas and happy to accommodate a swap for a coffee too. Sandwiches were, Ham & Tomato, Chicken Tomato Cucumber, Egg and Cress and Tuna and Cucumber. All tasty. Scones were excellent. And the sweets were excellent too especially the Raspberry, Peach and Strawberry Macaroons. The stand out bit of food, however, was the Sausage Rolls with Chorizo, which Gaynor (I believe the owner) proudly told us she had cooked fresh that morning, they were simply superb! With change out of £30 it's geat value too. It's well worth an hour of two of your time when you are in Chislehurst.

A beautiful sunny lunchtime and three of us decided to visit Wrattens. We looked around the beautiful high class gift shop and made several purchases, it would have been rude not too !! The coffee shop inside is lovely but not overly large and the need to social distance means seating is heavily reduced. With that in mind we sat outside at one if the three tables. We ordered a variety of sandwiches and 3 Lattes and our bill was roughly £7-8 each. They also had lighter lunches and hot food. Although they were busy our food was served quickly and was very fresh and delicious. We had such a lovely visit here and will definitely be back again. Thoroughly recommended but would suggest you perhaps call ahead to book a table.

Quick, attentive service, good coffee, reasonable price, will definitely will return. Was a very pleasant surprise.

Cafe is run by really helpful, kind staff. Lovely coffee and bites to eat. Worth a visit. Plus you can browse the gift shop on the way in!

This is a hidden gem that can’t be recommended enough. The owner is passionate about the home cooked food she serves and the service she gives. Give Cafe at Wrattens a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Just finished my umpteenth visit (I try to come twice a week) to Chislehurst’s best kept secret. A lovely bijou cafe where the warmth of welcome is equalled by the award winning coffee and food. Highly recommended.

Wonderful and neighbourly cafe in the heart of Chislehurst. Lunches are freshly prepared, their cakes are to die for and the coffee is the best in the high Street. It's a pleasure to support local businesses, the week wouldn't be the same without visiting this friendly and delightful cafe.

I have to say that the food and drink we had was lovely but it was ruined by a member of staff trying to usher us out before we were ready to leave. She said..."they are leaving" in a rude tone, looking and pointing at us while we were still drinking our teas. It made us feel unwelcome.

Came to wrattens to meet a friend who lives in the area. We turned up and only one person in front of us. She sat down and then server carried on pottering and not making eye contact for another 5 mins. When we did get served I was abruptly told to put my mask on - fair enough. We sat down and had a catch up. We had been there about an 1.5 hours. The restaurant was starting to get busy. And she then starting passively aggressively came over and cleared our stuff away then said 'Are you finished? As we are getting busier' as it was a long awaited catch up we ordered another tea. To which this female server shouted to the male server that's OK as long as they leave by.... We enjoyed our drinks and at 12 she abruptly comes over and says we need to leave as she needs the table which was reserved. We look around the restaurant and its now quiet again with several other two seated tables not with reserved signs. I get these are difficult times and that tables need to be made available. But we were paying customers who just wanted to enjoy a catch up over a couple of cups of tea. Be nice in delivering your information to customers rather than be rude. There were no signs or information offered at the outset when we were being served that's all it would take. We wouldn't have left feeling like we were a nuisance I wanted to support and independent business but I won't be coming back.

Had lots of lunches here ...the manageress Gaynor always makes you feel welcome the food is excellent home made.. best coffee..

Having visited here many times now and sitting at home in lockdown, thought I’d give another mention to the lovely food and service that I always receive when eating at this establishment. My final visit pre Covid-19 saw me with a friend and enjoyed a tuna salad with a nice strong English Breakfast tea. Needless to say I thoroughly enjoyed this and found it to be very tasty! I have always found staff and Management to be very attentive, accommodating, polite and prompt. Looking forward to returning again when able to and would recommend you do the same.

We both love coming here virtually once a week. THe staff are so frienfly and we know each one of them now. We love our toasted sandwiches and coffee in a glass, and sometimes have a delicious cake too.

Visited the coffee shop today! I was rather late as I didn’t realised it shut at 4pm. However the staff made me still feel so welcome. They were all so friendly and helpful. The coffee was amazing. I will definitely be returning x

Go there regularly for morning coffee, always good service, sometimes treat ourselves to a pastry or cake, which are delicious. The lunch menu looks inviting and when we are leaving they are beginning to fill up. The cafe is at the rear of the shop so on way in and out you can browse at the various items, can normally find something different from the usual high street shops to buy.

Visited here to meet an old work colleague and enjoyed a lovely lunch consisting of jacket potato with tuna and salad and a nice strong coffee. Nice relaxing atmosphere, clean and tidy table areas with a good, prompt, polite service giving a good experience. Will be returning adding when next in area.

Very nice local coffee shop, with a gift shop to browse in before or after. Nice and clean with good coffee. Not table service, so order when you arrive and it is brought to your table. You can actually reserve tables which is a good feature. Prices are average for the area. Recommended

This shop is absolutely lovely, I always take my dog in too which most places are snooty about! Love the products, a nice different variation of pretty bits and bobs for the home or gifts for yourself and others, and you always get greeted by a friendly face or three which is nice and welcoming. You just can’t go wrong with Wrattens if you need any gifts or want to treat yourself!

Recently visited here for the first time and had a coffee and cake. Found the experience to be very pleasant. Coffee shop was clean, tidy and you can see that every effort has been made by management to provide a good atmosphere. Service was polite, food served hot and tasty and was reasonably priced. Will certainly be returning back here in next couple of weeks with a friend for lunch and looking forward to it.

Visited for a quick lunch whilst doing house viewings in Chislehurst - thought an hour would be ample time for a quick sandwich. Service was appallingly slow, the staff had seemingly run out of bread as we watched one person have to go to Sainsburys for a new loaf. Tables took a long time to clear. In the end we waited almost 45 minutes for 4 sandwiches and missed our next appointment. Really disappointed as looked so nice from the outside but should be much better prepared for a Saturday lunchtime.

We love Wrattens for a spot of lunch or just tea and cake, which my daughter and I pop in for regularly. It is expensive compared to the chains, but it’s charming and everything is home made, so we usually don’t mindToday we popped in for an after school treat - my mum, me and my two little ones. Mum found her cake to be dry - i agreed with her (it really was stale tasting) and she took it back to swap for something else. The staff were so rude, loudly claiming that it had been baked fresh today, even tasting it in front of her and disagreeing that it was dry, essentially saying my mum was wrong. She eventually got a refund, but it was pretty embarrassing and completely unnecessary. All the other cakes we ordered were lovely - in our opinion one was stale and that really shouldn’t have been made into the big deal that it was.

I much prefer independents to the chains on every high street. Whenever I can, I pop into Wrattens cafe. Always friendly service, and I really like their coffee. Tastes like coffee should (ie of coffee and not milk), and is hot and not luke warm like some places. Gluten free food options, with food a decent price for a good size plate. Usually find something in the gift shop on my way out too. Just don't tell my husband this is where I'm spending all our money ;)

Wherever possible I use local businesses and this one is a little gem. Wouldn't have my elevenses or lunch anywhere else.

Such a lovely place personal friendly and a really nice atmosphere! The food was really tasty and good value for money, you would think that all the chain coffee shops would effect this but no this really has something so much better that you can’t get from a chain

Stopped off for lunch with our 7 month old granddaughter. We all had assorted paninis, really enjoyed them. Service helpful and very friendly, made us very welcome. Definitely recommend.

very good selection of light snacks freshly made prefect place to eat alone or with friends after a tasty lunch you can take a stroll round the shop you'll be pleasantly surprised with the varied merchandise

My wife and son went here for lunch a few months ago, and have a very relaxed lunch. Even though I would say it was slightly expensive for what you got, we had the jacket potatoes which were beautifully cooked. The service was brilliant and everyone was really friendly.

Love coming here for a sandwich and a coffee. Nice to browse through the shop on the way in or out too! I highly recommend it.

Welcoming and friendly convivial atmosphere and absolutely gorgeous home cooked soup especially the roasted tomato and pepper, and the potato and leek just the job to warm the cockles on a cold December day.

We are regular clients in wrattens and have found this to be the best coffee in chislehurst with very friendly staff. The team serve proper coffee like you would get from the best coffee shops in London with a nice selection of cakes.

I had a great time at Wrattens. Had a gluten-free chocolate cake with a breakfast tea. Absolutely delightful atmosphere! Well be coming back again.

Stopped in here for coffee all four of us ordered capaccinos they were awful serve in little cups like tea cups and so strong not a bit like capaccinos and very expensive not much of a choic in cakes at the time either will not be revisiting

This is a nice little cafe with tasty food . Lovely to have independent places on the high street which is so full of chains .

Hidden at the back of Wrattens is an area which is perfect for coffee, tea, light lunch or brunch. Always enjoy the atmosphere there too...

Just had the best bacon sandwich and coffee for breakfast. Friendly service, good quality food. We have enjoyed lunch and afternoon tea here on previous occasions. The staff are always very welcoming. It's our favourite coffee shop in Chislehurst.

There are quite a few places locally to eat lunch or have coffee. I have been here twice recently and was pleasantly surprised how nice the café is which is at the back of the shop, Wrattens. I had a very decent cup of coffee on both occasions and there is a good selection of cakes and sandwiches, Chocolate cake was very nice.

Wrattens until recently had a little antiques market and individual little traders selling their wares in front of a little sandwich bar at the back. It's right next to Costa on the High Street. The shop was refitted and does nice select pieces, clothing and jewellery items and other miscellaneous. We decided to visit one lunch-time just after the new year. The décor has completely changed much more contemporary now and quite bright and airy with an outdoor section at the back. Incidentally, they have a room available upstairs for hire (albeit not yet launched). We ordered the tomato soup, which was done more along the line of a Bistrot, with a little oil and some chunky bread. With two bowls of this and two drinks and one slice of cake it was not the cheapest café in town, but we did enjoy it. If you don't want the same old same old from Costa's and Neros then try this out. The staff are very friendly and we felt it reminded us of some of the alpine cafe's we'd visited on the ski slopes (funny how the mind works).
