We visited the Orpington for lunch after driving past quite a few times. The staff were very friendly and the food was great. A great addition to Orpington , our new regular! The record section is a great touch and we are excited to try the rest of menu!

Took my son for a birthday lunch with some of his toddler friends and their parents. Not the easiest crowd with toddlers on board but Scott and his team were absolutely lovely and efficient in catering for our big group. Food was delicious and atmosphere great. Will definitely be back and highly recommend. Thanks for a great lunch :)

I stumbled across this cafe/record shop while having a wander down Orpington high street. I had dropped my car off at a local garage for its MOT and took a stroll through the high street. Being a vinyl fan I couldn’t help but investigate. I wasn’t disappointed. Also, being one of those annoying people who doesn’t eat animal products I asked for something to eat to fit my diet and they were very accommodating. All in all a great experience. I shall definitely be returning when I get the opportunity.

Truly lovely cafe - best service we’ve experienced in years.. genuinely friendly helpful discrete. Food was good value, healthy, well cooked, tasty and nice touches - pleasant background music. Enjoyed perusing the LPs on sale.

Popular local spot, food is decent and service is good, but struggle to give a higher rating as I struggle with the price paid vs Value for money. The two are misaligned.

What can I say other than brilliant! I first tried The Orpington just after it opened and today was my second visit (there wil be more regular visits now). Nothing has changed at all, the food is so much better than anything locally, simply delicious and Scott and his team are just so attentive and on the ball. I highly recommend the falafel sandwich, just perfect. A perfect meal served by perfect staff. You should be so proud of yourself Scott and what you have achieved. Please keep it going!

Actually the BEST brunch in Bromley and probably in South London. Great service and EXCELLENT coffee. Closed on Sundays, but they serve all day brunch all other days of the week. Totally recommended

Always a pleasure to eat at the Orpington. Took the whole family for breakfast this week and as usual the staff go above and beyond, even going out to get extra soya milk for my wife who is lactose intolerant. And my teenage boys thoroughly enjoyed thumbing through the vinyls.
