About Monmouth Coffee Company

Monmouth Coffee Company is a coffee shop and cafe in London, at 2 Park St in Borough Market. The menu lists 10 items, including Filter Coffee, which is brewed in front of customers, and a Latte, with Oatly oat milk available as a non-dairy option. Pastries include a pistachio financier. Customers choose their coffee beans at the counter, and the beans are sold by the gram to take home. Coffee to go comes only in reusable cups with a deposit, and the cups are returned to staff near the bean counter. There are no paper cups. Seating is limited, with standing spots along the side, and a queue usually forms at busy times. The shop is open Monday to Saturday and closed on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers return most for the filter coffee and lattes, calling the cups clean, balanced and "really good", with several watching the filter brew in front of them and one praising the latte art. Close behind are the staff, described as friendly and knowledgeable about beans, and the pastries, with a pain au chocolat enjoyed and a pistachio financier rated only acceptable. Oat milk is mentioned as available, and beans can be bought to take home. Crowds and queues come up repeatedly, and seating is limited, so many call it best for takeaway. The mandatory reusable cup deposit divides opinion: some find it thoughtful, while one reviewer dislikes that the cup shows traces of past users. One longtime visitor says the coffee has turned stronger and more bitter in recent years, and another calls it hype with no mochas and no paper cups. Reviewers who arrived before 10 describe a short queue, and one explains that a used cup can be handed back near the bean counter for a refund without rejoining the line.

    “Best coffee of the trip goes to Monmouth! I really enjoyed their flat white, and decided to get 4 bags of coffee beans for my friends! …”

    “Stopped by Monmouth Coffee while exploring Borough Market and totally understand why so many people recommend it. The coffee was really good, and the whole place had that classic cozy London cafe feel. It was quite busy, but the atmosphere still felt warm and nice. A perfect little coffee break in the middle of the market :)”
  • Danny Chen
    “Mammoth Coffee at Borough Market tastes great; I order Flat White with nice coffee latte art. First time to visit Borough Market which is very interesting market with many varieties of foods and crowded with visitors, even at weekday.”

    “A proper coffee stop in London. Monmouth at Borough Market is one of those places that reminds you how good simple things can be. Watching the filter coffee being brewed right in front of you adds something special slow, intentional, full of aroma, and clearly made with care. I also loved their reusable cup idea, paying around £5 for a proper reusable cup that you can use and return is such a thoughtful touch, especially in a city trying to reduce waste. The coffee itself was excellent: clean, balanced, and memorable. Yes, there’s usually a queue, but now I completely understand why. One small tip for visitors, don’t make the same mistake we did and forget they’re closed on Sundays! Absolutely worth a visit if you’re around Borough Market.”
