  “Always a pleasant stop for coffee and cake/sausage roll. Very busy outside and car park jammed but the cafe quite peaceful. I just wish they did bacon rolls.”

  “Good food. Service is ok. A server were rude. Management should educate their staff in how to to talk to people specifically be respectful to them. A lady who worked there came in and started staring into our parm as if we had stolen something and stood between me and my 28 month old daughter and I could've lost sight of her. Then she made an excuse of looking how ould our baby was when clearly there was a cup(which i assume she thought belonged to the the cafe) but it was our on personal cup. Either it was invading our private space and could've been scary for our daughter as some rand person came close to us for no reason as all. Please Management educate your staff on how to respectful approaches and treat your customers.”

  “Stopped in for a coffee after a wet and windy ramble at the summit. Service was quick and friendly and we had a couple of cream teas too. Excellent quality. The toilet facilities were spotless and clearly regularly maintained. An asset to this marvellous National Trust site.”

  “Can't really fault it, except the prices ca be on the high side. It can get very busy with long queues if the weather is nice. The outdoor cafe do a nice bacon roll and good ice creams. This place has become my 'go-to' halfway stop on my weekly bike ride”

  “What a delight to have such a cafe at the starting point of the hiking trails that served actual hot food and proper coffee (with coffee art too!) Amazing and a total game-changer - made all the difference to the whole hiking experience. Couldn't have made it half way down that Stepping Stones trail without this coffee.”

  “Perfect place for a pit stop after the steps up here. Lovely location with beautiful views nearby. Many benches available; several areas ro dispose of different types of rubbish (I like their reusable, washable cups), and a quaint secondhand bookshop. Prices pretty typical, honestly. Coffee not bad at all.”

  “Plenty of seating!!! Went on a beautifully sunny February morning. The drive up to the Box Hill Top Cafe was great, roads looked clean, well kept and good signage. Plenty of parking available. I've got a National Trust membership so parking was free. Otherwise, I think it was £6 for the whole day at the time of my visit. The cafe and the NT hut were smart and clean looking, I felt I wanted to go in because they were well presented. The shop was open and had plenty of helpful products for walking, bird watching and snacks. We had arrived a bit too early because the cafe team were still baking the sausage rolls and snacks!!! Outside there is a stand with lots of information on hiking, walking, cycling and kids routes that can be followed around Box Hill - great idea that we saw lots of people were taking advantage of when we returned at lunchtime after our first walk. The service team were really friendly and helpful. They went to get a stock item they had run out if especially for us, they checked nutritional info for my vegan friend and they even found my phone and looked after it as I drove 35 miles back to collect it! We will be back to hike more of the routes in a couple of months time.”
