Coco Cafe Basildon

you're on whitmore way, which isn't a street that pulls tourists off the a127 or gets written up in london food guides, and that's fine. basildon does its own thing. coco cafe sits on ss14 3ju like it belongs to the people who actually live here, and by all accounts, they'd agree. the regulars are loyal in a way that takes time to build, the kind of loyalty that doesn't come from novelty. specialty coffee in this part of essex means something specific: someone made a real decision to do things properly, not just stock a better bean and call it done. if you're passing through whitmore way on a weekday morning, stop. order whatever's pulling espresso that day and take your time with it.
