Monmouth Coffee Company

Monmouth Coffee Company has been sourcing and roasting with care since 1978, and its Covent Garden shop on Monmouth Street remains a reference point for anyone serious about filter and espresso in London. Expect a no-frills, queue-worthy counter where the focus is entirely on the coffee — single origins served simply, without distraction. The benches fill up quickly on weekends, but the unhurried approach to brewing makes the wait feel worthwhile.
