Lovely little find. Currently they have a marquee set up and decorated to provide a sheltered spot, still with the 'outside' feeling. Nice cup of tea and delicious chocolate fudge cake! Friendly service and outdoor heaters provided cosiness as we hid from the rain!

I held a surprise baby shower for my friend at the Gallery Cafe in Guildford. The whole thing was a completely seamless and enjoyable experience from start to finish. The food was delicious. We had afternoon tea and cakes, all freshly made, with plenty of choice and plenty of it! We even took doggy bags home. My friend was completely surprised and loved the venue. The girls really looked after us, nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend this hidden gem in the centre of Guildford.
