About Camden Coffee Roastery
On Castlehaven Rd in Camden, just behind the market, Camden Coffee Roastery is a coffee shop where the beans are roasted on site on the cafe floor, so customers can sit and watch the process while they drink. The bar pours single-origin and filter coffee, including a Colombia filter, and roasted beans are also sold to take home. Food runs from croissants and other pastries to cakes, and breakfast includes French toast. It operates on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken, and dogs are welcome inside.

Customer Review Summary
Single-origin and specialty coffee drive the praise here, with reviewers repeatedly calling out perfectly balanced flavor and smooth, well-textured lattes, plus one standout mention of the Colombia filter coffee. Close behind, the on-site roasting draws attention, with one diner noting the beans are roasted right on the cafe floor where customers can watch. The croissants come up often too, described as buttery, crunchy, and fresh, though the wider pastry and cake selection gets a mixed note from one reviewer who found the pastries merely average despite looking tempting. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the craft, and the atmosphere reads as cozy and industrial-informal, good for a break from Camden market's chaos. Minor gripes surface just once each: one reviewer wanted their coffee served hotter, another mentioned the back door blowing open in the wind, and one called the prices a little steep. Several say they'll be back for another cup and cake.

“A wonderful gem tucked away just behind the market and main road. An oasis for anyone who loves coffee; no matter the knowledge level going in! The food is delicious, the coffee is smooth and it's always uplifting to see people genuinely love their craft as that energy is always passed down the line. Everyone there is wonderful but in particular; big shout-out to Clyde & Ahmet for being so welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. A smorgasbord of sights, smells and eats, for anyone from the rushing morning commuter to pretentious hipsters who talk too much like me!”

“Camden Coffee Roastery is an outstanding coffee spot and an easy 5 stars from me. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this is a place built for people who genuinely love and understand coffee. There’s a huge selection of beans on offer, with plenty of choice for anyone who enjoys trying different flavour profiles, and the quality really stands out. This is a real coffee connoisseur’s place to go. The single-origin coffee was perfect — full of flavour, beautifully balanced and clearly made with care. My latte was also made to perfection, with silky smooth milk, excellent texture and great attention to detail. You can tell the baristas here know exactly what they’re doing. On top of that, the staff were super friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable. They were happy to talk about the beans and clearly have a real passion for coffee, which makes the whole experience even better. The shop itself also has a great atmosphere — stylish, inviting and somewhere you actually want to sit and enjoy your drink. If you appreciate properly made coffee, quality beans and service from people who know their craft, Camden Coffee Roastery is definitely the place to go. I’ll absolutely be coming back.”
