This small restaurant is a gem. The service provided by the young man working there was excellent. The panini I had was delicious, possibly the best I've had in a while. They also offer generous portions of cake, so make sure to save room for dessert. View all feedback.
What Lillian S dislikes about Changing Perceptions:
I found that the staff members who have been working at the restaurant for years, including two older ladies and a young woman with colored hair, are exceptional at their jobs. They are kind, lovely, and couldn't ask for better service. However, this new staff member with dark hair is rude and shows no care for customers. She is extremely disrespectful to her co-workers and overall is a poor addition to the restauran... View all feedback.

(From a visiting northerner) I was really impressed with the service here, staff went over and above to make my experience as pleasant as possible.
Some things never change, and it's wonderful to revisit them time and again. We may encounter new staff, but we didn't have any problems. What we did receive was a fantastic, large cup of latte coffee and a decaf americana, along with a freshly toasted, soft, and buttered teacake. It was a bit too early for one of their delicious house cakes, but we have tried the "new kid on the block" cafe down the road, and Changing Perceptions is definitely deserving of our ongoing support in comparison.

She is extremely disrespectful to her co-workers and overall is a poor addition to the restaurant. Not only is she incompetent, but she also cannot make a decent coffee - who puts flour in coffee? I returned another day and the coffee she made was again lumpy and burnt, even though I just ordered a simple Latte. I am disgusted by her customer service and believe she should be fired immediately.
Wonderful tea coffee shop with great range of snacks light bites. Staff could not be more friendly and helpful, and my coffee was very well made. Ordered crumpets the first I've had in many years and enjoyed them. Planning to go back soon to try some of the other snacks and cakes, which looked very tempting... A real gem on the High St.

My favourite place for a snack in godalming. it's dog friendly, that's a big plus! the staff is very friendly and helpful. it was today my dogbirth and she was thoroughly pampered with dog biscuits from the girls. beautiful place xx
Visited again this afternoon. always impresses with the friendliness of the staff, and the food/kissen is also good (although I resist the lemon-pinta cake today). After we finished our respective coffee and tees, we had a walk through the workshop on the back with a look at the furniture. love the ethos this place.
Would have had a late lunch here yesterday, would highly recommend. aromatic creamtee was delicious. warm and friendly atmosphere. we will definitely come back.
This place is a wonderful, friendly staff and good eating.
I had been once with a friend and yesterday took my husband and our two children, it was quiet at the time we went, at least round by the chalkboard (good when you have an ASD child) and the children loved the challenge board. Food and drink are reasonably priced and good quality. Coffee is very good quality, especially for the price! This is a place worth making your regular coffee shop!
