    Nice coffee shop in south Croydon, the staff are warm and friendly. The coffee is very good (proper coffee). There is a lovely selection of pastry's and cakes to choose from. The coffee shop also has seating upstairs & downstairs.

    Experience The on and off duty staff were louder than any of the customers there. The barista behind the coffee bar seemed frazzled to get some coffees Coffee The coffee tasted watered down and weak Food Turkish eggs - spiced yogurt in a bowl with eggs doesn’t make this dish Turkish eggs. Lacked punch and authenticity Eggs Benedict - the eggs were well done, overall average 25 pounds for a below average experience. The high rating earned here baffles me.

    Nice cafe hidden away but once you find it, the coffee and food is very good. Had a cappuccino and it was by far one of the best coffees I’ve had in a while. Also avocado on toast with a poached egg was good. Bread was very fresh and tasty.

    Cosy and rustic venue with extremely friendly staff. Coffee is fantastic and so is the freshly squeezed orange juice they offer. Price is as expected for a coffee shop in 2021 so no unexpected surprises. The food from the kitchen was both fresh and delicious, the pastries also looked divine but we will have to wait until next time to try these. I look forward to coming back regularly!

    Really lovely coffee, perfectly crispy bacon, and beautifully cooked eggs on the Benedict... but the dill was an unwelcome surprise. If that's your normal hollandaise recipe, it would be better to mention it on the menu so that people who despise dill (hello!) can choose something else.

    Every single time I go into Bob’s Your Uncle I am always greeted with a smile. The service no matter who is in is wonderful. They’re always so accommodating, helpful and their Morning Buns are to die for. I’m yet to try their brunch menu but I can’t wait until my next visit.

    Pastry was quite dry unfortunately. Coffee was ok but nothing amazing. Was £7.25 for those two items which, considering the quality, wasn’t great value.

    Bobs is our go to for excellent coffee, great service and awesome food. We love bringing visitors to bobs because its consistently great. We love all the team and love that they are so dog friendly and kid friendly! We are lucky to have such a great local coffee shop!

    Probably best coffee in Croydon. If you’re looking for proper technique and nice beans - that’s the place

  • 2/5 S O. 4 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Lovely staff but NEVER pay for the added extras or order online. They absolutely scam you with how much they give you. I’ve asked for added salmon/egg before and got an egg without a yolk and less that a half a slice of salmon despite paying nearly £4 for it. Its even worse if you get it as a delivery.

    Strong & delicious decaf, fab cakes/pastries and brunch menu, lovely staff and dog friendly! 🐶

  • 5/5 Will 7 months ago on Google
    We are huge fans of Bob’s & it is our go to Sunday morning brunch spot! The best coffee in Croydon (no one else’s dirty chai comes close) & the staff always make us feel welcome & greet us like friends! A perfect neighbourhood coffee shop…..worth the trip even if it’s not your neighbourhood!! Dog friendly too…..even better!

  • 5/5 Elliott R. 2 years ago on Google
    Best coffee shop in Croydon!!!! Coffee always tastes amazing, and that includes their decaf. The cake and pastry selection is delicious and so is their proper food. Great staff and a lovely venue. Check it out

  • 5/5 Alexandra W. 11 months ago on Google
    Great little coffee shop in South Croydon. The staff are incredibly friendly and seem to know loads of the locals by name. Coffee is top notch and the pastries are decent.

  • 5/5 Dan R. 1 year ago on Google
    Good quality coffee - exactly the kind of small local business Croydon really needs. Ignore the big chains, come here instead.

    I went here yesterday with my dog because we’re looking at a new place to live nearby that accepts dogs. The people at the café were very friendly and the food was lovely with vegan choices! Fab coffee! Highly recommended.

    Amazing coffee shop in South Croydon. Excellent filter coffee, good Americano and great oat lattes. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. We are a vegan family and they have good vegan options, both sweet and savoury. The oat milk porridge is delicious.

  • 5/5 Siobhan R. 1 year ago on Google
    They have the best coffee I've had in ages and I'm a bit of a coffee addict 😋 The staff are always really friendly and the cakes are really good too. The top floor is nice to sit in and they also have more seating downstairs.

    The stairs when I walked down fit my feet perfectly. Tailored for any foot size. The coffee was smooth. My digestive system feeling good after a couple hours from the first sip.

  • 5/5 SeanAoife S. 1 year ago on Google
    We love this place! Consistently the best coffee around and food is delicious. It’s tempting to go here every day. Very relaxed environment thanks to the staff. They display local artists’ work and this small coffee shop makes such a difference to the community of South Croydon.

    I came to this cafe with a friend to have a coffee and I just starting to have a 1/2 yogurt with cake with me which I was having while I drink my coffee and I was told that the policy of the cafe is not eating inside of the premises food from somewhere else . Please see the picture is it inside the premises ? Very rude person . This table is actually in the halloway. Customer service is poor as counter was very argumentative saying that I shouldn’t eat inside premises in front of other customers. Very Bad experience in a day out with my best friend . Never ever will comeback . No one will force me to buy food if I don’t want it . I pay council tax to eat in the street if I want it Just don’t want to argue with people with lack of happiness in doing their job . Off to drink a none tasty coffee, full milk to be called capuchino .

    I've visited a few times, mainly for visiting friends and what a lovely little cafe this is. The staff clearly care about their customers, and know their regulars by name and previous conversation topics. the coffee is great, as well as the pastries. The last time I visited I opted for this delicious brioche bun filled with breakfast goodies and it was just perfect! I'll never say no to another Bob's Your Uncle if I'm back in South Croydon!
