What we love

  • •Own roastery: WatchHouse roasts its own coffee at its South London Coffee Lab
  • •Single origins served with tasting notes on the card
  • •Order a flight of several single origins side by side to compare
  • •Beans sold to take home, so what's in the cup is on the shelf too

Kiss the Hippo Coffee Covent Garden★★★ Purist

Kiss the Hippo roasts its own coffee, and the Covent Garden baristas will talk you out of the house blend and into a single origin before you've decided what you want.

Monmouth Coffee Company★★★ Purist

The roastery that set London's specialty coffee standard, still pulling a queue down a Covent Garden side street decades on. Order at the counter and you'll get the producer's name along with your 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.
