Overview

Tolido’s Espresso Nook is a Melbourne-inspired cafe tucked beneath HDB flats on Crawford Lane. Founded in 2013 by Douglas Tan and his parents Tony and Linda (the name “Tolido” combines their names), this cozy spot started at the Singapore Science Centre before moving to its current location. Known for artisan coffee and their award-winning latte art, Tolido’s offers all-day breakfast with delightful local twists on Western classics. The cafe has been thriving for over 11 years, with many original kitchen staff still creating dishes with the same passion.
