Tap Coffee - Central Dr, Hornchurch

Lovely coffee shop. The decor is restrained and rustic. I love the skylight, and imagine it to be divine on a rainy day. There is plenty of seating, but not many outlets if you want to plug in your laptop. The espresso was tasty as well as the Nutella Duffin! My friend’s cappuccino was also tasty! Note that they start to shut down the shop at 5:30pm despite noting a closing time at 6:30.

Update: this place is now Department of Coffee Outstanding coffee and interiors. The place is like a little oasis amongst the hustle and bustle from Oxford Street, which is quite close by. It does get busy but if you manage to get a table, it's a lovely place to relax

Came in at 11am on a Saturday and there was loads of space and seating. It quickly filled up but still not crowded 45 minutes later, with a number of people using laptops but not obtrusively. Relaxed vibe with nice music, also has free WiFi. Staff were friendly and brought our coffees to our table quickly. We had excellent lattes and enjoyed the peanut butter banana loaf. It was a cosy and relaxed way to start our Saturday.

Fantastic coffee shop. Adore the time and effort they put into making every coffee. Often used to sit here on my laptop and work during the day. Is a really great place to sit and watch the world go by. Also, check out those cakes!

One of our favourite coffee shops in London. TAP Coffee's coffee is always consistently good. We also love the porridge £2.50) which comes with free-flow toppings.
