"Booked through open table for 8 guests for 8pm and had confirmation email then the day before we arrived got an email to say the reservation has been cancelled. I phoned to ask what’s happened and a very rude girl told me that it’s been cancelled because no deposits have been made even though there had been nothing to say we had to pay a deposit? I then paid the deposit over the phone and she then told me that we had to arrive at 7:30. I said fine, but she was very rude over the phone. We then arrived and ordered drinks and some sharing boards which took an hour to come out, we ordered our mains at the same time as the starters and at 9:40pm we had enough of waiting we were all hungry and quite drunk at this point to be honest due to us just drinking with no food. We all ended up leaving and cancelling the mains. I had been here previously for mother’s day and loved it so I do not know what happened this time but I won’t be going again to be treated with rudeness, especially when it was such a big booking! We would have spent hundreds"

No point in writing a review since we found it had closed down.

The restaurant is a charming spot with delicious cuisine, but the slow service is a bit of a drawback.

Was very impressed with the food but disappointed at how slowly it took to come out. The service was not up to scratch or professional for the ambience and prices that you're paying. All that said, I would go back there though.

This used to be a lovely restaurant. Probably one of the best in Purley. However, that has changed. Despite restaurant being empty, the service was extremely poor. Did not have ingredients to make some of the cocktails. Food not up to its usual high standard. Waitresses need lessons in people skills.

I booked a table for 6 people as a special celebration for my 50th Birthday. The restaurant emailed me to confirm the booking the day before, which I did. When we arrived, we found it closed! Very fortunately for us Las Fuentes was open next door where we had a lovely meal and were told that Obia had been closed for a couple of months!

The waiter forgot our starters and served us straight with our pizzas. The restaurant was very noisy, making it difficult for us to hear each other. The only beer available at 8pm was Peroni in a bottle. The pizza base was hard and overcooked, I did not enjoy it. The card machine was not working, so my husband had to go find a cash machine. We left the restaurant still hungry, even though we had two desserts. The staff did not say goodbye or thank you when we left, there was no acknowledgment at all. The girl who called to confirm my online booking was not particularly welcoming or nice. Overall, the experience was not worth the money.

"I hadn't been here since my mother brought me as a teenager in 1965, when it was the Chalet Suisse. We were welcomed by a waitress seeing us coming and opening the door for us, ushered to a table by the window. We both had a fish dish, myself a crab-stuffed fillet of plaice, my wife a seabass paella with mussels. My plaice was succulently fresh, with a subtly spiced filling and sauce, The new potatoes were perfect. My wife is from a fishing family in Brittany so really knows her fish, and her saffron paella met with unconditional approval. The buckshee bread chunks in a basket already on the table were left, so I could enjoy mopping up the last of the lovely flavour of the juice. After polishing off the little extra pot of sweet potato fries, for dessert we had a special, Eton Mess, and banana cream profiteroles, which we swapped half way through, just gorgeous, and a filter coffee to finish off. With a couple of beers all for a fraction over £50 this was extraordinary value. This was no ordinary pub-chain grub. Every dish had something unusual and special to commend it, whether the spicy crab or the tart passionfruit syrup setting off the usually overwhelmingly sweet Eton Mess. This was proper cooking by someone who really knows their stuff, nicely presented but without fuss. Our fellow diners were all friendly and accomodating in a fairly small space, some engaging in jolly conversation with us. The service was attentive, kind. and unobtrusive. There was music but not overly loud and the atmosphere was relaxed and unhurried. I've heard this place mentioned by others before over the years and very much wish we'd made the effort to visit before now, our wedding anniversary. We will go again for sure, and take others with us too!"

"This is a small, very nice, non-chain coffee shop selling tea, coffee, some savoury sandwiches plus snacks and cakes. (Not to be confused with 'Smoothbean ' which is also in Croydon and also very good, but the two have no connection.)What 's good about it? It 's non-chain, so you 're actually dealing with nice people offering good service, not just wage slaves at the front end of a vast, impersonal corporation. The quality of the tea and coffee is as good as anywhere else. The service is warm, human, friendly and personal. The staff are efficient and helpul but also pleasantly informal. They don 't have a very wide selection of things to eat. However, what they DO have is all very nice and good value, whether you want savoury and healthy or sweet and indulgent. I loved the little 'bakesmiths ' cakes they sell that say 'made by hand in small batches ' on the label. What 's maybe not so good? Well, it 's not in what you 'd call a great location. Plus it 's really small. Upstairs (at street level) there are just two small tables and space for maybe five or six people at most (assuming some don 't mind sitting at the window). Downstairs, there are a chairs and sofas providing room for about eight people, although it 's a bit cramped.All in all, the think to love about Crushed Bean is the tone, the atmosphere, the fact that it 's small, friendly and informal and run by human beings rather than branded corporate drones intent on hitting targets. Go there at a not-too-busy time and you can enjoy a little bit of peace and quiet and know that you 're choosing to support a small, independent coffee shop and not one of the behemoth chains. Bonus good point #1: if you ask for your milk on the side, it comes in a miniature milk bottle. This cute touch should be standard practice but isn 't.Bonus good point #2: They offered me a free tea refill. Nowhere else that I 've been to does this.Bonus good point #3: They are right opposite Cake Box, a wonderful emporium of gloriously unhealthy options."
