One of the founding names of London specialty, Monmouth has run direct farm relationships since before the city had a template to follow. The retail counter, where staff talk tasting notes and single origins before you buy, is the model everyone else borrowed.
Monmouth Coffee Company · 27 Monmouth St
Monmouth built what became London's specialty coffee template before most of the city caught up, running direct farm relationships since the beginning. The original. Still worth the queue.
Monmouth Coffee Company · 3 & 4 Dockley Rd
One of the founding names of London specialty, still running the bean counter at Bermondsey where staff walk you through farm-level tasting notes before you buy. The retail experience here shaped what the city now takes for granted.
