FILTR by Coromandel Coast

You're walking down Lower Addiscombe Road and you spot FILTR—the coffee operation from the people behind Coromandel Coast. It's a proper standalone thing, not just a side hustle. The vibe is straightforward: come for the coffee, which they've clearly thought about, or grab something to eat if the main restaurant's got a queue. It's the kind of place that makes sense in Croydon right now—neighbourhood spots doing one or two things really well, no faffing about. The crowd's mixed: locals popping in for their morning fix, people waiting for a table next door, folks who've heard about the food.
