A basic, but quality spot for neighbourhood coffee needs. The decor is slightly in-cohesive but the service, food and coffee I received were great. Mainly booth tables that can fit large groups with an outside area. Free wifi. Parking. Bathroom. Kids play area. A friendly, comfortable and easy going atmosphere, I enjoyed my avo ranch bagel and coffee here immensely. Will be back.

Had a flate white and a BLAT bagel.
The coffee was a nice balaced medium roast with sweet nutty flavours to match. Very nice in a mocha or as an accompanist to some food.
The bagel was delicious. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a sweet savoury relish.
The staff were friendly and easy to talk to, though the food cabinet was hard to see inside without leaving the line to look.
The little diner style place was warm and cozy but still had space for bigger groups if need be.
Lovely little place,
Will be back again!

A shock to attend Coffee Culture Beckenham earlier today for the first time in some months. The cafe was so dirty, carpet absolutely filthy sticky, greasy worn through the booth seats black with grease and grime.
Food average
Coffee ok
Hot chocolate good
This is a busy cafe absolutely no need for the state of it. The carpet needs replacing as a matter of urgency and a decent deep clean ASAP.
Other customers must be noticing this decline
Unfortunately we will not be returning

I was there on Saturday; the service was exceptional, the banana bread is my favourite thing, and honestly just can't wait to go back. I'll drive across town again to go there even when I'm not in the area. 5 stars for sure :)

Awful and terrible. On a day that isnt busy it took my partner 15 minutes to aquire a sandwich and two drinks. They dropped the sandwich which wouldve been fine if not for completely disregarding the order entirely and putting cream on the wrong drinks and upcharging for a new sandwich which even after asking for no sauce, put sause on. I dont know who was in charge today but this wasnt it guys i am thoroughly disappointed with todays service and the grief they have caused my partner. Do better
