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.

London's founding specialty roaster, with tasting notes on every single origin at the counter.

Kiss the Hippo Coffee Covent Garden★★★ Purist

Kiss the Hippo roasts their own, and the baristas at the Covent Garden branch are the kind who steer you toward the single origin before you've finished asking.

WatchHouse Covent Garden★★★ Purist

WatchHouse roasts at the South London Coffee Lab and the Covent Garden room is where you access it: single origins with flavour cards, tasting flights at the bar, and baristas who can account for what's in the cup.

WatchHouse Seven Dials★★★ Purist

WatchHouse runs its own roastery, the South London Coffee Lab, and Seven Dials is where you drink what it produces. Order filter, and ask what's on the seasonal espresso.
