Mr Tinto Coffee Roasters East Croydon

the filter coffee here is worth planning your day around. mr tinto sits on caithness walk, which isn't a street that announces itself, but that's partly the point: you're not stumbling in by accident, you're coming because someone told you to. and people do tell each other about this place. it's a roaster-first operation, which means what ends up in your cup has been thought about well before it arrives there. the regulars clearly feel the pull strongly enough to keep coming back, which says more than any single visit could. if you're in east croydon and need a reason to linger past your coffee, a slow filter on a weekday morning is a decent excuse to stay.
