Monmouth Coffee in Borough Market
Wednesday, 3rd February 2010 | 6 Comments
In Jersey I’ll pretty much drink any coffee. I won’t turn my nose up at even the most burnt cup of rest stop java. I’ll even get it in a big gulp cup. In Europe, I am much more discerning. In Rome, it’s Caffe Sant’Eustacchio, or the Illy Caffe on Via Urbana all the way. In London, I’m all about Monmouth Coffee near London Bridge (there is another branch at Covent Garden but I rarely venture to those parts). Located in the Borough Market and open Monday through Saturday, Monmouth serves amazing espresso, cappucino, and filter coffee (brewing above). The cups are a bit small compared to my Stateside buckets, but what I lose in quantity, I gain in rich roasted quality.

Thanks for the tips! I am off to Rome at the end of April!

Oh then there are a few other places you should try, including the Illy place in Monti.

Given that there are forty or so churches called Santa Maria in Rome, I’m not sure how useful your second recommendation will be to Lucinda…
