Monmouth make seriously good coffee. One of a handful of places in london where you can get a decent latte. Sorry - no trim milk here they use non pasturised organic whole milk, but I'd happily be fat in exchange for the quality of their coffee. The food is pretty good too and you can visit the markets afterwards! For those that prefer to make coffee at home, they also have a great selection of beans.]]> Wed, 19 Mar 2008 07:00:33 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1r97k8974596800 CharlotteEvett 51.505439 -0.091383 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1g4787

I go to the one on Monmouth Street more now because it's closer to work, but this is the first location I went to way back when.

You still get the great, cheap cup of coffee, and here, unlike Monmouth Street, you can sit on the wooden benches around the tables and eat jam and bread for an extra £2.50! Pretty good value, considering.

Great place to take a break from a hectic weekend Borough Market shop as well.]]> Thu, 06 Mar 2008 17:24:41 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1g47871386015301 greedoe 51.505439 -0.091383 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1157x8

The beans are great, don't get me wrong, but a lot of people are queuing up because the experience is quintessential borough market and, well, because everyone else is queuing up. I ordered a cappuccino and my friend a latte, and they made the drinks exactly the same - a shot of espresso and dump in milk until it reaches the rim. If your business is coffee, you should at least know the difference between these two staples!]]> Tue, 12 Feb 2008 00:02:33 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1157x81474885513 dwang 51.505439 -0.091383 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1r95l7

Surprised it took me so long to get around reviewing Monmouth. Maybe I want LESS people to go so I don't have to queue. There's also a stall in Borough Market itself and another store (the original?) in Covent Garden, but this is MY store. Love it.

Laughingly there are a few Starbucks within spitting distance - with the emphasis on spitting. How they have nerve to call that crap 'coffee' when the real deal is so close by.

Sometimes I just go to LOOK at the beans. I've sat outside in the pouring rain and that coffee still kept me warm.]]> Thu, 22 Nov 2007 22:27:07 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1r95l7574826574 sizemore 51.505439 -0.091383 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1h45g8

The best coffee I have had anywhere (well, except Laos but that's a bit further afield!). Great location bang in the heart of Borough Market (which also gets 5 stars), there is another Monmouth Coffee Company in the Market itself, which is more like a market stall, great for a quick takeaway. The main one on the corner is open, bustling and makes you realise just how generic the likes of Starbucks and Costa have become, no comparison.

They is also do bread and jam on the long central wooden table (help yourself and pay a flat fee), and cakes and biscuits laid out on a counter. In the summer the jam and cakes attracted quite a few wasps which the staff didn't seem to care about which put me off having anything to eat here, but then that's not why you come here anyway.

One other thing to bear in mind, the double espresso really is the strongest coffee I have ever had, in fact I think that applies to all their coffee. You have been warned!]]> Fri, 09 Nov 2007 17:18:10 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1h45g8870358566 claypole 51.505439 -0.091383 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1125i8

In a city like London, you don't make calls like 'the best in London' lightly, but this is a rare occasion when the phrase is well-deserved and near incontestable. They not only really know their stuff, but they actually seem to give a crap about their product. Brilliant all round.]]> Mon, 15 Oct 2007 12:47:30 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1125i8347467460 DanWilkinson 51.505439 -0.091383 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1o34q8

Excellent coffee (they also sell beans) and friendly service. The breakfasts also look fantastic - there is butter and pots of jam on the long central table, for you to help yourself... the only problem is that every time I've got there every space is already occupied!]]> Mon, 24 Sep 2007 22:51:12 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1o34q8292579896 wandering_star 51.505439 -0.091383 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1m64f7

If there is a place in London that sells better tasting lattes I have yet to find it. I'm lucky enough to work near the Monmouth Street shop and I count my blessings everytime a workmate says "I'm going to Monmouth, anyone want a coffee".

If you're near a Monmouth coffee shop and you're relying on Starbucks to meet your caffeine needs then you should be ashamed of yourself!]]> Thu, 20 Sep 2007 12:07:05 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1m64f71559477631 Hinchcliffe 51.505439 -0.091383 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1j73n7

Monmouth is fantastic! The coffee is, for me the best in London. You will often find me on a saturady morning, waiting in the lengthy, yet fast-moving queue for a cafe latte. If you buy your beans to take home you can usually avoid the queue and order a coffe at the same time.

Top quality Jersey milk and top quality sugar for those who need it, all add to the experience. Highly recommended!!!]]> Fri, 11 May 2007 14:17:22 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1j82u81511394788 freddie5540 51.505439 -0.091383 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1h3279

Possibly one of the best coffee places in London, although it can be a little pricey. Good for takeaway coffee and even better for lots of different beans to use at home.]]> Wed, 09 May 2007 10:43:12 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1h32791100746121 yahnyinlondon 51.505439 -0.091383 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1902k8

Whether it be on a trek through Covent Garden or just Borough Market on a cold Saturday morning, Monmouth never fails to deliver a fantastic cup of coffee.

Not the place for those who are into their "iced-nonfat caramel grande macciatos" or other such tongue-twisting combos....(there is sure to be a Starbucks nearby...). However, it can't be beaten if your tastes are simpler and you like a plain old filter, cappuccino,latte or machiatto with delicious jersey milk.

The best coffee in London...possibly?]]> Fri, 23 Mar 2007 00:05:24 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1u01b8614592814 simonB 51.505439 -0.091383 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1o12f7b/monmouth-coffee-company/1t31q8

If you are browsing at Borough Market or wandering about in Covent Garden, and want a really good coffee, head for Monmouth Coffee Company.

Monmouth are renowned for being excellent coffee roasters, and they supply their beans to cafes across the country. They have two cafes of their own (Covent Garden & Borough), and one market stall (Borough Markets), where you can sample their delicious blends and take some beans home with you as well.

Their Borough café is very popular, especially on a Saturday when the market is in full swing. Last time we visited there was a queue for coffee up the street! Sensibly, a staff member was working through the queue, taking everyone's coffee orders, so that by the time you got to the head of the queue your coffee was just being made.

There are a few tables where you can enjoy your coffee, along with a pastry of cake, or just a grab a takeaway and browse in the market while you sip.
