Monmouth has been crazy busy every time I’ve walked by it in the last few months.

They’re very traditional, dark roast, long standing sourcing relationships. Have stuck with it despite coffee culture moving on and do very well for themselves. Not my style of coffee, but they make a nice milk drink.

Nah, I’ve walked straight in a few times over the years, this seems busier!

I'm usually at the Borough Market one which is hell on weekends but fine midweek. I also went to Arôme bakery recently and they are excellent for coffee too. That honey toast was amazing. Seems like another spot that would get crazy busy though.

Watch House is great, to be fair. And they're cropping up everywhere with no impact to quality. NOLA in Peckham is also divine.

Coffee chat: I usually just buy beans and make coffee at home, but in the NW I can recommend Amoret at Notting Hill Gate for both coffee and beans. My local cafe is a Four Boroughs and they use Assembly. I can't speak to the other places but my Four Boroughs does a great coffee and so I just grab Assembly for my default home bean. The Arcade Coffee & Co in the tunnel under Herne Hill station does a fantastic coffee. I see they also have a store at East Dulwich. No idea whose beans they use. I'm an Aussie and prefer a lighter espresso roast and milk-based coffees, so factor that in. Happy to take other people's reccs south of the river, too. I've been meaning to check out F Mondays in Brixton. yung lambic posted:NOLA in Peckham is also divine.

IMO, kidnapping James Hoffman and forcing him to make you coffee and source comfy sweaters for you is the pro move here.

My YouTube algorithm has recently come across Hoffman, and his dry yet somehow slightly goofy sense of humour hits me perfectly.  Him giggling while trying the various American coffee creamers endeared him to me no end.

Dark Arts have incredible responses to Hoffman's videos. Also their coffee is good.
