  “Stopped in at Cafe Arabic today for a quick bite and a drink, and I’m really glad I did. The food was fresh, tasty, and clearly made with care — exactly what you want when you’re just popping in for something quick. The coffee was spot on as well. What really stood out though was the owner — a genuinely friendly and welcoming guy who made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Nice atmosphere, good food, and great service. I’ll definitely be stopping by again.”

  “Having been on several occasions and usually fantastic, on this occasion my wife and I was served by a rude lady , We opted for coffee and cake to which we were served the thinnest slice each about the quarter of the size of a usual slice and at the same price, Infact I thought it was a joke. Worse still it had been sitting around a while so dry it was inedible so I put mine in a napkin and put it in my pocket. My partner managed half and left the rest. But it got worse the lady serving came past our table and started taking away our plates while still drinking our coffees and in conversation lol , the etiquette was embarrassing to say the least. I asked where she was from and she was Ukrainian, We also weren’t asked if all was ok, nor thanked not even a good bye when we said thankyou. Won’t be returning after that.”

  “Nice little cafe which I stopped at after dropping the little one to school. Good amount of seating. Pricing is more on the expensive side. The server was very friendly and welcoming. Four tables outside to sit in the sun with a coffee. A small range of food items on the menu, but something for everyone. Very clean and tidy. Tables are nicely laid out. Good Selection of Cakes and drinks available.”

  “This is my second visit to Cafe Arabica inside a week, which is a recommendation in its own right. We were meeting my sister but found we'd got our timing wrong, so we had an hour to kill. We walked along the Downs cutting across to Coldharbour Rd and then back to North View, admiring the houses and gardens tucked away in the quiet little streets. When we got back we spotted Cafe Arabica and once we read the menu I text my sister and suggested we meet there instead of Grounded, which was our original choice. There were two little table's outside but the weather then (as today) wasn't quite warm enough for us though the smokers were happy to sit out. Inside the place is a bit small and it's very popular so there is plenty of demand for seating. The few tables are fairly close together and it can become a bit 'cosy' but there is a back room overlooking the small garden and a few high stools in the window. The menu is quite interesting and there were some unusual choices available. There's also a blackboard with a selection of options all at the same price. I went for the Mezze which was a bit disappointing as it didn't have the meat I was expecting though there was a good selection of other ingredients (Olives, Sun Dried Tomatoes and a warm, rather sweet bun). it was very tasty and as a light alternative to a 'Full English' it was a good choice. My sister chose the grilled goats cheese with bacon, salad and coleslaw which looked great and today it was my choice. The grilled cheese was gorgeous, salty and with the bacon it was a match made in heaven, but the salad (lettuce, cucumber, tomato) just seemed completely unnecessary. It would though have been amazing with a small pat of Bubble and Squeak? There were some small slices of crisp bread but these were a poor substitute for a good slice of Granary Toast. My partner went for Poached Eggs on a Bagel with Avocado which she announce as delicious. (My sister chose this option today). There are lot's of coffee option's all served piping hot in good sized cups/mugs and Tea is available in a Pot if required. Service is polite and friendly and the guys told me they had been there for about 5 years, so not the unknown Gem I though we'd discovered. This is a nice, civilised Cafe where they offer some different choices. It wont be the first choice for builders or anyone wanting a calorie packed meal but it will always have a fan base. Parking can be a problems but we found spaces in North View on both occasions, so its just about luck.”
