Cafe Tisto

Located inside the church, the cafe offers a variety of drinks (coffees and soft drinks), sweet and savoury pancake options and a chance to try traditional Ukrainian food such as borscht (soup) and deruny (potato cakes). Food is good there - I had borscht this time and it was a great experience to east something different and so tasty. Will definitely be back to try their pancakes and coffee next time when I’m around. Oh, and their prices are a pleasant surprise!

After war broke out in Ukraine a group of young Ukrainians arrived in the UK and set up Cafe Tisto in All Saints Parish Church in Leamington Spa. I visited the cafe and ordered a latte and a chicken and mushroom Ukrainian pancake and had a great experience. I have visited many cafes and coffee shops in the town and can honestly say that the creamy velvety latte at Cafe Tisto was the best I have ever had. The pancake was absolutely delicious, fluffy and light and stuffed full of chopped chicken and mushroom, they certainly do not skimp on the ingredients. It was served with a tasty savoury sauce that complemented the pancake perfectly. This was my first experience of Ukrainian food and I am now hooked on it and intend to visit the cafe regularly. The friendly young people running the place give excellent customer service and serve up top quality food at a very reasonable price. The overall experience was brilliant and I highly recommend Cafe Tisto.
