I've been going to the café for years, and have always had a wonderful time here. The service is exceptional, coffee skilfully made and food always delicious - fantastic value for money. English and Turkish breakfast here is a particular highlight! Beyond the fantastic dining and coffee experience, the Next Level Café is a cozy and comfortable place to sit and busy oneself for hours at a time. It's by far the best place to get a bite to eat in Purley. Highly, highly recommend.

Delightful cafe. Stopped here with my 2 year old son, after catching the train to Purley for a bit of fun. We had the small breakfast to share. Was fab and tasty, and great value Nice atmosphere and cosy inside. And the coffee was great too. My little one enjoyed the sausages. Highly recommend stopping in. Not normally one to write reviews but thought this lite cafe was definitely worth a shout out

Very hearty and home-made food, reasonable price for it too. Sometimes wait can be a bit longer we if you’re in a rush be mindful of this, around 13/14 mins. Service is friendly! Would recommend the omelette but all the dishes are good really.

I loved the cheese borak, you can tell the food is made with care. The pastry was so good and the lady makes the food herself. The cafe is directly outside the station and the seats outside are great especially in summer. I highly recommend this place and would definitely go back for the omelette.

I’ve been here a few times now and always enjoy my experience. The owners are lovely and the atmosphere in this coffee shop is so nice and relaxing. I had breakfast here yesterday as well as a milkshake and both were delicious. Would recommend :)
