As an Italian coffee freak I trust Monmouth as one of the consistently good coffee places in London. I don't like the attitude of the Borough Market Shop staff, therefore I go to the Monmouth st one.

Although recently it got a bit more moody, it is usually one of the best macchiati in London. I also get the Brazilian beans to use home with my Rancilio and the output is usually fantastic.

If you think of Nero and Costa as your McDonald's, think of Monmouth as your Wholefoods.As an Italian coffee freak I trust Monmouth as one of the consistently good coffee places in London. I don't like the attitude of the Borough Market Shop staff, therefore I go to the Monmouth st one.

A truly fantastic place. The range of food you can get, from fresh fish, to fudge, from quince pate to lettuce still with their roots... it makes it unique. Traders are all exceptionally friendly and willing to advise and make suggestions. The quality is always superb, and while one can spend a fortune, the costs are all reasonable and all in all, good value for money! There's also a fab little cafe there.A truly fantastic place.

When you first see the queue for this shop, you might be forgiven for thinking that is exactly what you will be when you reach the counter. Absolutely starving. However that is not true at all. The queue is also there for a reason. The food is delicious and its not a secret anymore! The bacon baguettes are my favourite - the bacon is so crispy and tasty! However they have quite a varied menu so all tastes will find something they enjoy. Their soups are also known far and wide and they have a changing menu for these as well. The bread they use is also delicious and so soft on the inside and crispy on the outside!When you first see the queue for this shop, you might be forgiven for thinking that is exactly what you will be when you reach the counter.

This place sold me some Smirrnoff Vodka. It was actually full of dirty tap water. I went back to the shop and got a refund straight away. It was obvious that they were scamming people whom they thought were drunk or perhaps wouldn't come back.

Do NOT shop here.This place sold me some Smirrnoff Vodka. It was actually full of dirty tap water. I went back to the shop and got a refund straight away. It was obvious that they were scamming people whom they thought were drunk or perhaps wouldn't come back.
