    Wonderful cute little local cafe to work from, grab a coffee or some lunch. Quiet, spacious and really nice and friendly staff. Sandwiches toasted are great and coffee options are good and well priced.

    For a while I been meaning to visit as from the outside it looks very inviting. Had a chance to go there for breakfast and it did not dissapoint! Amazing customer service, they seem to truly enjoy what they do and that shows in the atmosphere they have created.

    My latest and absolutely pleasant finding in South Croydon is "Buongiorno Cafeteria". Lovely and cozy coffee shop running by young Italian family. I was really thrilled their hospitality and friendliness! Wishing them many years of prosperity and love, lasting forever! Warmest, Jonas

    Recently discovered this place through Google Maps and so glad I did. I went for lunch, they have a pizza and toasted foccacia selection to eat and great coffee. The place is nicely laid out and has some Italian deli bits to buy too. It has a really nice vibe here, everyone working really seemed to care about serving people and dedicated to hosting us which really makes the difference. I'll be back.

    This is a great place to grab a bite and a coffee. The couple that runs the coffee shop are so great and they always welcome you with a big smile. If I could give a suggestion, they could improve their coffee ☕, I don't know if is the brand they use or the technique the use to brew your cup of coffee, but it can be better. Apart from that everything is great. Try their pastries, home made and delicious.

    I got a ham and cheese sandwich with the option of white or brown bread for £3.6 and a can of coke in a cute little glass with ice for £1.5, the customer service is very friendly and welcoming, that with pretty good prices, a nice look, and no extra fee for eating in makes it a winner in my books!

    Amazing,lovely friendly polite staff. Very welcoming and hands on. Service with a smile , I sat for 2 hours and so relaxed. Clean and bright area and very chilled space light music in background soothing if you want some down time and they don't rush you either.

    Having a coffee and sandwich at a great Italian cafe near to my flat. Its has a great atmosphere and is popular with local people and those who work in the area. The couple who run this cafe are friendly and are a pleasure to speak to. Have been coming here on and off for the last month.

  • 5/5 Martina J. 1 year ago on Google • 11 reviews
    I visited for the first time with a friend today. The entire place is super clean (even took a peek into the kitchen which was absolutely spotless 👌🏽), it was well spaced out and the staff were so friendly and helpful. They know how to make a great flat white and all the food options are clearly displayed. The atmosphere was so cosy, we stayed for almost 3 hours comfortably. I’ll definitely be returning here regularly. Deserved more stars!

    Honestly, people, I haven't had such a good coffee in years. The flavour and aroma absolutely amazing. Big plus that they offer gluten free cakes. The ginger one I had was delicious. I definitely recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Eugenio C. 3 years ago on Google
    As an Italian, what can I say is that just by watching this place makes me feel like I'm home, the inside looks so nice, and they got like the best products and nothing else, I hope this review can help others people like me, maybe some others Italians, but for all the people just go and check this place, you won't regret it!

  • 5/5 steven z. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Tarrah R. 3 years ago on Google
    Friendly service, let us share a toasted sandwich, good basic selection of sandwiches, toasted, cakes and other snacks. all nicely laid out and cakes covered up so flies cant get to them. but I've never seen a fly in here, its the sort of thing I see a lot nowadays in cafes, even in shopping centres, but makes me walk out. here, no problem.

  • 5/5 Bob 3 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    The food is wonderful, as are the coffee and cold drinks, and always a great cake and bakery selection (even if we select the same things almost each time!) Vegan options available too, across the range. The service is so warm, friendly and welcoming. 100% recommend.

  • 5/5 Jennifer S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 alex a. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best cappuccino I ever tried in London. This is not a pretending Italian place like many in Town; it is actually Italian! Highly recommended if you are in the area.

    An authentic Italian bar caffetteria where the aromas of the fresh coffee awakes the true italian morning vibes. Great selection of cakes (also vegan and gluten free), hot and cold sandwiches made with the best focaccia bread. I always buy my mulino bianco bisquits there as well as speciality pasta and sicilian cannoli. Massimo you are a true legend. Keep up the good work.

  • 5/5 Caterina D. 3 years ago on Google
    I go almost every day to have my espresso - like a good Italian! I sit down very rarely because if I do I'd never leave!!! Immaculate coffee shop with a nice variety of snacks and panini. Massimo and Ildiko - the owners - are always with a smile on their faces and make you feel welcome. Believe me - as we say in Italy - non c'e' niente di piu' bello che iniziare la giornata con un buon caffe' ed un sorriso :)

    This place is excellent, lovely, kind, polite, patient and helpful staff and the food and drinks are to die for. They use resyclable cups and take away bags and reusable take away boxes for their morish cakes.
