This is a typical great cafe frequented by workers in high Vis jackets. Very friendly staff and good value large portions - value for money and you will feel stuffed but can pack what you can't finish. Halal meats but also serve pork products but you can request when you order that you want strictly halal and they cook in separate pans. As the owners are Turkish Muslim. Small outdoor area for smokers. Street parking or park in Tesco car park and a few minutes walk away I recommend as they are friendly, you will feel at ease here plus good fresh food and large portions

Here is mine and family’s favourite place to come out and eat. Customer service is absolutely amazing, they always make us feel so comfortable and welcome! Everyone is so attentive & polite. The food is gorgeous every single time and always comes out beautifully cooked and quickly. We recommend here to all of our friends and family, and make a point of visiting a couple times a month!

Cozy atmosphere, very friendly staff, and the BURGUER was delicious... but the CHIPS were extremely divine... crispy and very tasty... perfect!

Very friendly and attentive staff We ordered an English breakfast and an egg and cheese sandwich. It tasted really nice and we both thought it was good value for money. Can't wait to come back.

Staff were very attentive and friendly. Breakfast was good, and cheap. Free parking around the cafe. I will be back

Staff friendly, food always good and reasonably priced.

What a great cafe! First time having an English breakfast in the UK and this place has me sold. I had the #7. The beans, fried slice and the hash browns were delicious! Their black pudding was also very delicious, that I had to come back for a second time the next day. The black pudding at other cafes we went to after visiting The Class Cafe just didn’t hit the spot for me. I highly recommend The Class Cafe. The owners were fantastic - very “mom and pop-like” feel, super cozy, and the food was delicious. Thank you for a wonderful experience and cannot wait for the next time I’m back in Purley for a visit!

Ordered a Full English Breakfast, was one of the best ones ever. The quality was too good with fresh ingredients. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Overall great service and food. Would highly recommend. Easily accessible from Purley station and high street.
