Most delicious and friendly lunch ever

We've been trying to get into Mullins for a few years now, but it's always full when we visit Dorking. But today was our lucky day, and what a treat is was. Delicious sandwiches very generously packed with lovely, fresh fillings and the best coffee...in town served with a delightful taste of ginger cake. Such a friendly greeting too, it was an absolute pleasure to visit - a perfect coffee shop.More

It was OK

Very busy when I arrived. Owner served me and was courteous and nice. Sorry I can't give a glowing review. My food took far, far too long to arrive. Although I have a pretty common special dietary requirement which was used as justification for the...very long wait for a sandwich, it was still not good. Other cafes manage to fix me food in far less time. I thought my sandwich filling tasted good but that it was very expensive for what I had - amount of salad served with it and sandwich size were tiny. On the plus side, I really liked the vibe and all the memorabilia and historical explanation about the links with the shoemaker who had worked out of this shop - maybe even lived there - who left for America on the Mayflower, ultimately being an ancestor of many Americans - including Marilyn Monroe.More

Friendly efficient service and tasty food

A smallish cafe with great hospitality. Potato waffles, poached egg and avocado were perfect for an eleven o’clock meal. The table service also gives it extra points.

EXCELLENT LIGHT LUNCH IN A HISTORIC SETTING

This is a great find, nice staff, good food and a bit of history. The Coffee Shop is situated in the house of William Mullins. Mullins was one of the Pilgrim Father's who sailed on The Mayflower to America in 1620. The Menu includes breakfast,...light lunches and home baked cakes. There is a nice range of Spanish fruit juices to order by the bottle as well. Small, very tidy and with excellent service. A ready welcome here.More

Traffic noise and dry/old date cake gets a low rating

Arrived at around 15:20pm. Although many places were free - we had to sit at a particular table because ‘the others had been cleaned and weren’t to be used’ .. presumably do the owner should make an easy closure at 16:00. Our permitted table was...inline with the door and traffic noise was bad. Ordered the ginger/date cake - unfortunately was dry and crumbly - definitely not moist and delicious. A disappointing visit.More

Excellent little coffee shop on fab antiques street in Dorking. Delightful owners providing great service, attention to detail, and most importantly scrumptious food. The piece de resistance is the homemade ginger cake. Baked on the premises by the owner and the BEST I have ever...tasted.
