My favourite cafe in Dorking, customer service is exceptional. The food is amazing and a bit different than your average brunch. It’s always busy and you can see why.
Had the burrata salad with anchovies. Really delicious. Excellent iced coffee. Great service. Was a bit too hot in this nice weather!
I eat out regularly across London but have to say this is my favourite place for brunch, and it’s well worth the journey to Dorking! I have to order the same thing every time because it’s so so good. The shakshuka with n’duja is insanely good. My friend ordered the mushrooms on toast which is meant to be amazing too. Definitely worth a visit if you haven’t been already!
Such a lovely local cafe that really pays attention to the little details that make food great. It's definitely on the pricer end of brunch but absolutely worth it for a treat. The food is generously portioned and beautifully presented. Great coffee, too (and locally sourced!).
Such a great place; the staff are warm and welcoming, the food is out of this world and the decor is perfect. I’ve been for both brunch and pizza night and it was so good on both occasions. Will 100% return. Really recommend to anyone!
HolmeStores is far and away the best place for brunch in Dorking. The HolmeStores Breakfast is really delicious, their coffee is excellent and the staff are always lovely. It's a little pricey but worth it for the quality. Yum.
Was recommended by a friend to go here for brunch and it was a great decision. The space is open and airy and has a nice atmosphere. The staff were very attentive and friendly without hovering. We had the Mexican eggs which were a revelation, and the chocolate banana bread which was also delicious. The menu is quite adventurous but really well done. Coffee was also delicious. Highly recommend a visit - we will likely become regulars!
Can't really fault this spot, great for a bite to eat and a catch-up or just a quick drink. Coffees, juices and smoothies are all excellent and their all day breakfast can't be beaten. Not a huge fan of bacon so I was allowed to swap for an extra sausage! All round winning at HolmeStores.
Been a couple of times before, but wanted to take my Mum. As an ex-restaurant owner and chef she's VERY fussy, but I knew she'd love this place and lo-and-behold she was over the moon. Said it's the best restaurant she can remember coming to in recent memory. Obsessed with it she is, all she goes on about.
She's just had a hip operation, and when I e-mailed the restaurant to ask when a quiet time would be to come, so we wouldn't have to queue with her hip Andy replied and allowed us to make a reservation even though they don't usually take them on Fridays.
From the moment we arrived, they spotted us coming, helped Mum to her seat, got her cushions and were just generally wonderful to us the whole time.
Menu as ever excellent. Food sublime. Had the Mexican Eggs, Full English, Ginger Beer and Frozen Lemonade. Chorizo and Hash Browns as sides and shared a Sticky Toffee Biscoff cake for desert.
Would give it 50 billion stars if I could.
Best restaurant in Dorking, maybe even the world.
Best breakfast in Dorking! Wonderful service! Staff are extremely friendly and attentive. The food is amazing! Mexican eggs are scrumptious as are the mango smoothies. Can’t wait to try the pizzas!!
We visited Holmstores on Thursday evening and was not disappointed! The sourdough pizzas are extremely tasty…..probably one of the best pizzas I have ever had. The staff are all friendly, it was such a lovely evening. We will be returning very soon 🤗
Holmes Place is an absolute credit to Dorking with a great atmosphere, good strong coffee, amazing food and lovely lovely owners and staff.
One thing that impresses and inspires me the most about this gorgeous small business is how they completely and effortlessly embody their values - sourcing local products, supporting British small producers, using sustainable energy and eco packaged produce to name a few. And all this without compromising one bit on comfort, experience or flavour.
I visit regularly and really cannot recommend it enough - go there immediately!! ❤️
Had 3 absolutely fantastic pizzas delivered last night 👌🏽 The pizzas arrived just as they would if you ate in, very impressive!
We often eat in but if you’re a little short on time (or Childrens patience) then this is such a great alternative.
Thanks Holmestores 🍕🔥✅
We enjoyed amazing food on the small terrace at this lovey and unique bistro style restaurant.
We went specifically for brunch and enjoyed a shared shakshuka for 2 and tamarind and turmeric eggs.
My 18 month granddaughter devoured 2 beautifully cooked fried eggs on sourdough toast .
We finished with iced coffee and lemon verbena tea.
It was a delightful meal and we look forward to returning again .
The food, atmosphere and ethos of this place is a breath of fresh air.
So much consideration at every step, from the menu to the staff, all being top quality!
I have recommended in person to many friends and family so it’s only fair I make it public as the secret is truly out now.
I have been a regular upon opening and will continue to enjoy this absolute gem of Dorking.
Nice atmosphere , carefully selected ingredients for an excellent brunch / posh dorking so not on cheapest side but definitely worth it for outstanding quality
Just visited Home Stores for birthday breakfast and it definitely didn't disappoint. Food was great and I particularly enjoyed the waffle with plums and pistachios. Super start to the day.
New menu today and wow what a treat.
We both had the Mexican Avocado, we added an egg and halloumi.
It was Fantastic - highly recommend giving this a go.
