After several Google services, I came across Dotty's website, it is well put together and really grabbed my attention Seeing Dotty's in real life was like a dream. The establishment is beautifully decorated and you can tell the owner really invested in the place and the people who work there. There is a pink bicycle parked outside, the establishment is pink, the decor is very elegant--perfect for a photo op I opt to do the afternoon tea with Prosecco added on as well as some scones to go. It was a very fair price per person. Under £80 for the entire experience for 2 people. They also sell other assorted desserts, shakes and cakes All the employees were attentive, they explained in detail what our package came with and they made sure we were happy from start to finish. EVERYTHING was delicious! From the English tea down to the Pimms jello HIGHLY RECOMMEND 10/10!!

I stumbled on the listing while doing a search for tea places before I left Washington, DC to travel to London. Unfortunately I didn't make the reservation myself (relied on family in London to make it) so we didn't get booked for the afternoon tea service as I'd hoped and just had a reserved table instead. Still, I indulged in some scones with cream and strawberry jam, paired with a strong cup of decaf English breakfast tea. The staff is very friendly and took the time to explain the drink and pastry options to us. I hope I get a chance to visit again for the full tea service before the end of my trip!

I have sat both inside and outside, where tables are clean and comfortable. The outside seating area has quite a few seats and in summer is a lovely spot for people watching! I always enjoy my coffee/tea/cakes especially the lemon muffins and soya lattes although I do find some of the cakes can dry out quite a bit. Can be expensive although the Costa card helps you collect points which easily add up for free purchases in the future. Great for a pit stop if in need of watering or feeding!

Owner also sells different tea including puer tea. For now they serve Alchemy Coffee which smells and tastes amazing - it's a place worth to visit if you are real coffee-lover. I've been looking for a good coffee in Croydon for ages and finally found it in Crushed Bean! Soon they also going to open sitting area downstairs that will be possible to hire for private events as well. Prices are more than affordable - £2.20 for Latte and just £1.20 for fresh baked kiwi square, such a bargain! They are working closely with The Bread Factory based in Hendon for a great choice of pastries and snacks on offer. There are also hot and cold sandwiches that looked yummy if you are hungry. Service is great as well - guys who are also the owners are very friendly and know what they are doing, wish them good luck and hope they will soon grow into a chain available all around London. Definitely recommend!

You could smell and see the orange zest within the moist sponge cake. It was served on a china plate with a china handled dessert fork. The expresso coffee was served in a quaint duck egg blue expresso cup with a humming bird print only £1.50, it was good coffee. The sugar cubes with tongs sat on the side in a china bowl. The tea room was busy and I can see why as the service is good and the cakes even better. This place is a winner! xoxo

As I walked in I was ushered to a table straight away and had a look at the menu which to my surprise there was a breakfast and lunch menu which all seemed overpriced but I thought I would give them the benefit if the doubt with the ingredient that have been used. So I ordered the mushroom and cheese crossaint with a vanilla ice cream milkshake which I was informed the ice cream was homemade and the vanilla seeds were visible. The food arrived first and looked delicious but tasted very bland with the side salad. When the milkshake arrived it was in a small glass and was mainly foam and no visible vanilla seeds to be seen. So when approaching the manager about this she was unapologetic and brought the icecream over to show there is no seeds in the icecream. So if you want to be over charged ie my bill came to £9, then come here!

Me and my friend both went up to the bar and ordered our food and sat back to wait for it. My drink came quite quickly but it was about half an hour wait for our food. My friend went up to the bar and asked what was happening and they said there was a huge amount of tickets coming in and they were trying to get through them.. sok after a staff member came and said the food was on its way..we then waited another 5/10 minutes and our food finally arrived. The staff member whole brought the food over was very apologetic..The food was presented nice on little boards so had that rustic look and it tasted lovely. The brisket was soft and melted in the mouth, the fries was nice and crunchy unfortunately the little pot of gravy was water, oily and tasteless. I then went to the toliets and they were nicely decorated unfortunately some of the toilets were messy with tissue in the toliet and some on the floor.. shame they obviously dont check the toilets often, spoke to someone who came out of one of the toilets, and they said the toilet they were in was overflowing! Its a shame about the waiting time as i would have rated it a bit higher if it wasnt for that and i would have went back for the food as it did taste good but the time waiting is a bit off putting!!.

I loved the espresso martini as good as you get. Miss this place when your in Sutton and you miss out. Xoxo

So, both teams were all assembled by the time he got there to make the official decision not to play. As we had already cleared time in our schedule to play, my team decided instead to have breakfast together. A quick wander through Cheam Village brought us to Piggies, which was warm and serving cooked breakfasts. Piggies offers a full sandwich bar service but cooks hot breakfasts to order as well. My team had a variety of different items, ranging from scrambled egg to sausages to mushrooms. Other than a few mixups with orders, the food did arrive quite fast.
