Chris and Monika's small batch roastery in the Surrey Hills
Surrey Hills Coffee was founded in 2014 by Chris and Monika, a Swedish couple who moved from London to the Surrey Hills in search of fresh air, good cycling and better coffee. What started as a passion project soon turned into a well-loved fixture of the local scene, with their small batch roastery nestled in the village of Abinger Hammer.

Their coffee range
They offer a full range of styles and roast profiles, from rich and chocolatey espresso blends through to light, fruit forward filters. Holmbury Hill is their house espresso — smooth, nutty and sweet, designed for everyday drinking. Box Hill builds on that with a touch more depth and an earthier chocolate profile. Pitch Hill is the boldest of the lot, a dark roast Brazilian blend with real southern Italian character. For those looking for a darker option with a longer finish, Blackheath brings together dark chocolate, cherries and hazelnut in a blend that works across espresso and filter.
Their decaf, Night Flight, uses the Swiss Water process to preserve sweetness and body without any harshness, while 50/50 blends that decaf with a Brazilian single origin to offer half the caffeine and all the comfort.
Filter lovers will find plenty to explore too. Cottage Blend is their lightest roast — a clean and gently fruity Colombian single origin that nods to the Swedish brewing traditions Chris and Monika grew up with. Uganda Bukonzo Dream is naturally processed and full of tropical fruit, strawberry and caramel, while Burundi Masenga Hill brings a more structured cup, with notes of cola, liquorice and bittersweet chocolate.
