I ordered coffees to take away here this morning. I was asked if I wanted regular or large. I chose regular and when receiving my coffee it was the size of an espresso. When asked why it was so small I was told that's just the sizes they sell. £3.30 for an espresso sized latte. The lady didn't even offer to top up the latte as a gesture of goodwill and advise us to order a large next time. She just said she didn't make the rules as she just worked there. With 4 coffee shops along the parade, I definitely won't be buying from here again.As an update to this review. I have since bought coffees from surbeanton, Claremont Gardens NT, an independent coffee shop opposite Hampton court Palace, as well as a coffee from the new cafe on the Parade, opposite Parade and Albany. All of these places are independent coffee shops, and all regular lattes were served in a 12oz cup. The gentleman serving us at Claremont Gardens explained the 8oz cups are specifically for flat whites as they take less milk than a latte.

Great cafe, always welcoming and good food. Great asset to the Parade. Do a great sunshine breakfast… sets you up for the day!

Always a great option for a quick and tasty meal. The kids love coming here and the pancakes are a big hit. Been coming here for years - no complaints

Lovely local cafe with delicious food and coffee! The staff are always so friendly! One of my favourite places for breakfast or brunch - the homemade scotch eggs and sausage rolls are definitely worth a try!
Robert Walshe
Friendly staff however the cafe is freezing cold and needs proper heating.

I have had many a coffee & cake & a few lunches at the P & A & have never been let down. Always good service, good food & drinks & today they included Bowie in their playlist, so have gone even further up in my estimations!!

Lovely little cafe serving interestingly different brunch

Friendly, reasonable coffee, but has a very limited food offering and short opening hours. Would be great if there were more deli items.

We love P+A, the absolute stalwart of Claygate's food and drink scene. Great coffee, lovely staff and always an excellent selection of sweet and savoury treats

Fabulous! Delicious food and really good coffee. Well worth the walk from Esher.
What a GEM! I've travelled to London for a short conference and was brought to this lovely Cafe.The staff was friendly and so welcoming. They recommended the scotch egg and chicken& ham Cornish pasty. Yum!I had a mocha while my friend (local) had an Americano.I reckon I would be a regular if I lived here.5 stars ??Totally recommend if you are passing through and need a break.

Used to come here years ago before it changed management. Glad I returned. It’s a great place - decorated in a modern but homely way, and now with a loo you don’t have to go outside to thank goodness. Food freshly made and a good choice of sandwiches, quiche, savouries and even chips. Homemade Rocky road is an artery bursting treat. Front staff are excellent - young, efficient and really friendly. So shout out to Joey, Will and Tegan - they’re lucky to have you. Really recommend this place to have lunch or coffee and relax.

What a cracking cafe with a lovely spacious interior to boot. Just wish it was on my cycling route and I’d be a regular. Well done.
