Our top seven Orpington cafés

23 January 2023
There’s plenty to do in Orpington, whether it’s going for a walk along the River Cray, enjoying a meal at one of the many restaurants, getting a pint at a pub, or playing a game of rugby at Goddington Park. Sometimes, it’s the simple things that really make your day – perhaps a nice cup of tea or coffee (and maybe a slice of cake).

If you’re looking for somewhere to grab a cuppa on the go or sit and enjoy a freshly ground espresso, you’re in the right place: the Access Self Storage Orpington team has helped put together this list of the seven best Orpington cafés. In our opinion, and in no particular order, we’d recommend a visit to… 

The Primo Caffe Orpington

One of several excellent cafés on Orpington High Street, the Primo is a great place to stop for a high-quality Italian-style coffee. Even without the coffee, the selection of snacks and sweet treats (also Italian-inspired) makes the Primo Caffe well worth a visit. For a hearty lunch, try the homemade lasagne – you’ll feel like you’ve been transported right from Orpington to Rome!

The Poppy Café Orpington

The Poppy's black veranda stands out among the several cafés on Orpington High Street. It’s an invitation to sit and watch the world go by with a cappuccino in one hand and a Biscoff biscuit in the other. The grill is also a significant draw for the Poppy Café, with your choice of eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes and more available (with chips, of course).
