February 27, 2025 at 7:43 amI’m so excited that we finally have a local coffee shop in East Croydon! The flat white with oat milk was absolutely perfect—just the right balance and a great pick-me-up to start my day. The staff are incredibly friendly, providing fantastic hospitality that really makes you feel welcome. If you’re a coffee lover, this is definitely the place to visit. Highly recommend!

March 3, 2025 at 10:15 pmLovely speciality coffee shop. Carefully designed and welcoming. The coffee was great, currently running Plot roasters with both espresso and batch brew. Which were both stunning. You can tell the owner takes a lot of pride and care into his work. The food is tasty and fresh with plenty of options for plant based people. A place to visit and revisit !

Popped into Tayo Café and really liked the vibe – super chilled and welcoming. Ordered a café mocha and a black Americano to have in. Both were spot on flavour-wise, and the staff were friendly and warm throughout. Clean, calm and a great little stop if you’re in the area.

April 14, 2025 at 12:59 pmHopped off the train from Gatwick for the bagel w so curious about the tofu olive spread. Crunchy toasted bagel with proper chewiness inside. The tofu olive spread is really interesting— of similar texture as the tofu “cream cheese” I’ve had in the US but with more fun flavor. There are also a lot of tomato slices and rocket. A light and healthy lunch.
The coffee beans also look nice (Brazilian) but I’ve had two today and will meet a friend over coffee later. It’s always hard to choose between coffee and matcha (would actually choose coffee if it’s chocolate note haha). Maybe I’ll stop again someday.
Laptop friendly. Didn’t know it’s next to home office lol. Totally recommend the place for those living around, but judging from the many regular customers I guess everyone nearby is in love already.

August 17, 2025 at 10:04 amNice atmosphere and good coffee, which brought me in after seeing the recommendations. For me, the croissant and service didn’t quite live up to the same standard, and the coffee could have been a touch hotter. Still a pleasant spot overall.
