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.

The roaster that taught London what single origins taste like, still at the counter.

What we love

  • Own roastery: beans sourced, roasted, and sold in-house at the Bermondsey counter
  • Single origins named by farm and country, not just 'seasonal blend'
  • Tasting notes on the menu, with staff who actually know what they mean
  • Retail beans available whole or freshly ground to take home

Monmouth Coffee Company Office and Roastery★★★ Purist

Saturday mornings only, at the roastery where London's specialty coffee scene started. Drink on-site and treat Spa Terminus's wider artisan market as the rest of the morning.

WatchHouse★★★ Purist
36 Maltby St

This is the WatchHouse that actually makes the coffee, not just serves it, so what lands in your cup was cupped and roasted a few floors up.

WatchHouse★★★ Purist
199 Bermondsey St

This is the original WatchHouse, the site the brand grew out of, still running the own-roastery programme that built its reputation for sourcing literacy.
