TAG Drinks in Eastcote has been announced as one of the top ten local businesses in the UK, as part of Nextdoor’s Neighbourhood Faves Awards.

This is the first time Neighbourhood Faves has run in the UK and the winning businesses have all been voted for by neighbours in their local communities based on their contributions to their local areas and excellent services.

TAG Drinks is not your average coffee house - boasting a top-secret blend for its bestselling TAG Tea Latte and a queue that lines the street each weekend with customers wanting to sample its homemade baked goods, it has become a favourite cafe within the local Eastcote community. 

Founder, Hovig Yardim, said, "It's phenomenal to receive this recognition. Our team's dedication, coupled with the overwhelming local support make every early start and late evening worthwhile. Our TAG team is the heart and soul of the space and we really take pride in creating a positive atmosphere and experience for our customers."

TAG Drinks opened in January 2020 and was operating for just five weeks before the first Covid-19 lockdown, however with the support of its dedicated customers, internal team and support via the Nextdoor app, the business managed to not only survive, but thrive and become a popular hotspot.

Sustainability is central to TAG's ethos as the business sources all of its ingredients locally, committing to eco-friendly practices. Takeaway cups, straws, and iced drink cups and lids are not just recyclable but also compostable, reflecting a genuine dedication to environmental stewardship.

Beyond culinary prowess, TAG is deeply involved in community enrichment initiatives, supporting local schools and launching a community book club.

TAG Drinks stands as a testament to resilience, community spirit, and a commitment to excellence. This accolade is both a celebration and a promise—to uphold the standards that have made TAG Drinks an enduring favourite among locals.

TAG Drinks will now be featured on Nextdoor’s Discover Map, have access to digital tools including a new Fave trophy badge for their business and receive up to a year of free advertising on Nextdoor to help further promote their local business.    

Laura Roche, Managing Director of Nextdoor UK said: “Local businesses are the heart of our local communities and I’m thrilled that Nextdoor has been able to play a huge help in giving Hovig and the TAG  Drinks team the recognition they deserve.  This is only the start of a very exciting initiative to launch in the UK, and we look forward to recognising more local businesses in the years to come.”
