This is very small but super cosy coffee shop in Croydon that only opened 10 days ago, however…read moretheir coffee is great - they seem to be real professionals when it comes to coffee and tea! 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!

Highly recommend the Serrano, grilled chicken and sun dried tomatoes, with a sweet chill dip. Its gets very busy in there and seating can be hard to find, but its well worth the wait, the staff are attentive and helpful, and will serve you a glass of naturally flavoured water (currently cucumber) upon arrival which sounds weird but is actually really tasty and refreshing. Located at the top of Beckenham close to the station, this place is perfect stop for lunch before embarking on a trek around Beckenham place park to burn off that slice of chocolate orange cake.

The ale selection on tap was a little odd - I think 5 pale ales plus one amber ale, in December, with no dark ales at all but the Kernel export stout in bottles was delicious if a tad pricey. Apparently it's often on tap so keep an eye. The Christmas burger was incredibly good - the combination of camembert, cranberries and mustard mayo brought so many surprisingly complementary flavours and fundamentally the meat itself was fantastic. Best burger I've had in a while. I liked how there is a video games corner - a comfy sofa in front of a tv and you can borrow mario kart from the bar! There's also table football and pool and it got very noisy as competitive spirits rose, so caution if you're looking for somewhere really calm, but overall I'd love to come back here and will try to do so as unfortunately it's likely to close due to some horrible luxury micro flat development killing the only thing in the area that would actually service the tastes of the kind of people in the market for a luxury micro flat. Will be a real loss for Croydon if that happens.

As far as my middle-class aspirations go, this place is great. The food is very tasty, and makes a…read morenice change from the usual sausage butty grease-fest you sometimes get elsewhere. You can tell that it's posher than a regular cafe, because they put tomato and rocket on the sausage and bacon sandwiches. When I was growing up, the only rocket I'd heard of took people to the moon! It's not just the sausage butties that are posh, there is a good selection of pork pies, scotch eggs and sandwiches. And the cakes! Wow, the cakes are great. There are the usual suspects; carrot cake and red velvet, some amazing caramel shortbread and there are even some gluten-free treats. There are two reasons this little hidden gem doesn't get 5 stars. Firstly, it's not always the speediest service. This can be quite an issue if you are trying to grab breakfast before running for a train. Like with a lot of places, It's particularly bad when it's busy. The second reason it's only 4 stars is the price. I know, you get what you pay for, and I do like it's aspirational middle-class elite-ness. But I picked up a sausage and bacon sandwich, an iced tea, some 'breakfast pudding' (wonderful squidgy caramel shortbread), and an extra sandwich for later (whatever, I'm a big guy) and it cost me over a tenner! I guess the main problem I have is my champagne taste, but lime & soda budget.

I got a takeaway box of the freekah, roasted pepper, courgettes and blueberries (I think) with onion mixed with the cauliflower, honey-roasted sweet potatoes and bulgar wheat, as well as hummus and tzatziki, for 5.50 quid. While I think that's pricey, the medium-sized box is filled to the brim so I got at least two meals out of it! The flavours are great: the honey is not too overpowering on the sweet potatoes and the freekah is mildly nutty. Job well done!

I guess this place is alright, I tried a grilled cheese and the bread kinda tasted like shit but…read morethe cheese more than compensated for it. I was too broke to afford a drink so the people were kind enough to pour me a glass of absolutely toxic tap water, I felt my skin slowly hardening as gradually transformed into a sewer crocodile, but I shook off the transformation for a later date. Despite that, I do believe that it was a kind gesture of them to give me a free drink, and for that this place gets a solid 3 stars. I would've given you more but I'm not a bitch. Till next time

This place is ideally situated opposite the bus station if you happen to be waiting for a bus and…read moreyou need a hot drink or you feel a little peckish they have something which could fill the gap for you. There is an all day breakfast menu, which covers the basics, croque monsieur's and the like to full blown meals. The menus French feel is reflected in the look and feel of the restaurant/cafe. The staff are welcoming and not over bearing allowing you to seat yourself where you please. They have some interesting pictures on the walls which help to pass the time whilst you are waiting for your order. It very much has the feel of a place where all are welcome whether it is just for a quick sandwich or drink to those who are catching up with others or sheltering from the rain outside and even those who have taken up residency to do some work and exploit the free wifi they have available 9just remember to ask for the pass word). All in all without being spectacular this cafe has a good feel to it even if the food isn't the greatest but it is welcoming and staff don't harass you and let you of things at your own pace, so if you are every waiting for that bus which is not coming anytime soon perhaps a visit here might break up the waiting time.
