Tao Café opens in East Croydon

New independent café brings speciality coffee to Ruskin Square in East Croydon.

East Croydon’s coffee scene has a fresh new addition with the arrival of Tao Café, an independent coffee shop now open on the ground floor of the newly launched Home Office building at 2a Ruskin Square.

Since welcoming its first customers on February 15th, Tao Café has been serving up coffee, light snacks, and sweet treats. The menu features freshly baked croissants, cakes, fresh salads, warm toasties, and more, making it a go-to spot from morning to afternoon.

The café is also committed to sustainability, using ethically sourced ingredients, and offering a variety of vegetarian options, all while maintaining top-tier flavour and quality.

For coffee lovers, Tao Café delivers an exceptional coffee experience, exclusively using light-roast, single-origin coffee beans. Beyond coffee, the menu features a selection of herbal teas, chai, and matcha.

Tao Café is open 07:30 AM – 5:00 PM on weekdays, 08:30 AM – 5:00 PM on Saturdays, and 08:30 AM – 4:00 PM on Sundays, making it the perfect spot for a coffee break or a light bite.
