This cafe in Epsom Town centre has the best drinks available in Surrey, it doesn't matter what you order, they are great. Dora creates a very warm and welcoming atmosphere and chats to all her customers, she even breaks into Greek on occasion. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Best espresso in Epsom! Nutty, complex and aromatic coffees, and I have never faced an overheated brew. She also introduced me the Freddo espresso (with a shot of Jameson, or two), which is the best treat during warm and sunny days enjoying the sunshine. Dora is always friendly and sweet, and I feel happy her coffee never disappoints me

Dora is the perfect small business owner. My family and I are visiting Epsom from America and after only one visit she remembered our names and happily gave us wonderful travel advice. She is warm and kind and makes absolutely delicious drinks. Definitely recommend!

Best espresso coffee In Epsom. Tried to get into Cafe Nero but as usual was a very long queue so and the service was so slow, so gave up. Noticed Dora’s and definitely better coffee here than all the chain coffee shops!

Such a friendly and welcoming outdoor cafe, with seating for all weather. A lovely range of food items and drinks. The banana milkshake is my favourite. All items are made fresh and to your own taste, just ask.
