Mr Tinto knows coffee inside out. Specialists in Colombian coffee, it’s one not to miss. Plus, they work closely with family-owned businesses to guarantee their coffee is traceable, accessible, and fairly traded.
Originally, Mr Tinto began in 2017 by selling coffee from a bicycle outside the back entrance of London’s East Croydon Station. Now, it’s a bustling coffee shop, and the entire place reflects their love for speciality coffee by honouring the Colombian roots of the owner, Francisco, and his own passion for coffee.
