Tolido's Espresso Nook

both the pancakes and lol ofc the banana was made from bananas! super good pancakes, imo rivals the columbus cafe hot cakes!

We had high expectations of this place! The baked egg dish felt dry and the potatoes were the tastiest things on the plate. Bacon aglio olio was requested to be spicy but came not spicy. Drinks though were pretty good and we were spoilt for choices! 7/10 for this visit but I would come again.

Topped up $2 to change the cheese sausage to brutwurst. Brutwurst was really juicy.

Rosti was good. Crispy edges and a soft centre.

Visited the cafe on a Monday morning ard 11.15am and there was already a short queue forming. Took us ard 15 mins to be seated.

Topped up $1 to switch up my sunny side up egg to scrambled eggs and no regrets !!!!

I’ve always loved scrambled eggs and the rendition here was one that was creamy and silky. Many places tend to over cooked it but the ones served here are what you typically get at HK cafes

Pancakes were okay tbh. But the other sides which were the bacon and cheese sausage were not bad.

Coffee was smooth and packs a punch.
All coffee comes with double espresso shots

Tucked away in a quiet HDB in Crawford Lane, bordering the vibrant Kampong Glam conservation area, lies Tolido’s Espresso Nook. It’s unassuming exterior doesn't deter a large crowd from lining up every weekend. Here the crowd favourite is their Pandan Pancakes ($14). Think pancakes lightly fragrant with pandan flavour, with gula meleka syrup drizzled over for extra oomph. Burppler Grace Lau thought their Rosti With Bratwurst ($19) was great, saying "The rosti has a nice golden crisp from pan-frying, and the potato is shaved quite coarsely, giving a good bite in every mouthful."
