Tesco Cafe

the flat white is a good place to start here. tesco cafe sits on reigate road out in hookwood, which puts it well clear of dorking's centre, and that location shapes the kind of place it is: somewhere people come with actual intent rather than just passing through. you're not stumbling in from a high street. the crowd that finds it tends to be local, and locally it's well thought of, which counts for something when you're this far from the obvious coffee trail. the surrounding area is quiet surrey commuter belt, and the cafe fits that register without being sleepy about it. if you're heading out on the a217 corridor any morning, reigate road is worth the detour for a proper flat white before the day gets going.
