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!

This cafe has been around for years and once you enter it you can see why, simple food with good service at a price that fits its location.

We've tried a couple of cafés in the area but this is by far the best. The decor is what it is, nothing fancy but pleasant enough. Having said that, as far as cafés go in the South London area, it's about as good as you get. A nice big picture of the Crystals is always a bonus too. :-) The food is great value for money with very generous portions. The quality of the food is also excellent. The service is always delivered with a smile and you're generally given a "good luck" for the game which is a nice touch. Another thing worth mentioning is the cleanliness of the place. You can go in to some cafés and come out feeling dirtier than you went in. But The Delite café sticks to its name. The food, despite being unhealthy, never feels as such due to its lack of grease. The other cafés in the area seem to get busier so I was reluctant to write this review in the fear that people might transfer and take up our seats but it's well worthy of the recognition. Keep up the good work Delite. See you next Saturday. P.S. Please can you open up for the evening games? :)

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.

Which was nice and clean! So before I left I purchased a caramel slice to go and it was £1.95 but a good size slice and very yummy. I plan on coming back to try out their menu! and so I did one month later - I had a vegetarian breakfast which was a pea and sweetcorn potatoe sausage, fried egg, mushrooms, baked beans, two slices of tomato and two hash browns with a cup of tea. Was quite lovely and was even better sitting outside enjoying my meal in the sun. The staff were really friendly, they were going to let me sit outside without even purchasing anything and the waiters was constantly cleaning tables and making sure customers were happy.

Not a bad latte here, and with the big bonus that it's not a 'chain' cafe, so prices are rather more modest - for example, a bacon and egg baguette with a tea or coffee is £3.95. Friends working nearby are regular users. They have seating inside and out and, while the view isn't very exciting, it is right next to the Church Street stop of Croydon Tramlink.
