Cafes & Coffee Shops in Eltham by the Numbers: Ratings, Reviews and Types
25 cafes and coffee shops counted from their Google listings: what kinds there are, how they are rated and how many reviews they have.
We looked at the 25 cafes and coffee shops with a public Google rating and a SE9 address (checked 4 October 2026). Every figure below is counted from those listings. Nothing is estimated.
What kinds of place are they?
Google files each listing under a category. The most common:
- Cafe: 17
- Coffee shop: 5
- Indian restaurant: 1
- Mobile phone repair shop: 1
- Deli: 1
How well are they rated?
The middle (median) rating is 4.6 stars. By band:
- 4.5 or higher: 15
- 4.0 to 4.4: 9
- 3.5 to 3.9: 0
- below 3.5: 1
How many reviews?
Between them they have 4,831 Google reviews. The most reviewed is Costa Coffee with 572 (rated 4.1). The median is 172 reviews per listing, and 4 have fewer than 50, which is too few to say much about.
Food hygiene
We could match 19 of them to the Food Standards Agency register. 13 of those hold the top rating of 5, and 0 hold a 2 or lower. Hygiene ratings are the council inspector's, not Google's, and can be out of date.
Method
Source: each business's Google Maps listing (4 October 2026). Ratings and review counts move daily, so treat this as a snapshot. See the best-of ranking for how we order them, and the full list.
