Monmouth Coffee Company

📍Borough Market

Monmouth has been roasting and pouring since 1978, and it shows in the confidence of every cup. Their Borough Market location is A M A Z I N G: the warm wood counters, the smell of fresh beans, the low hum of conversation outside.

This is where we come for a single-origin brew that’s as carefully sourced as it is brewed, paired with a buttery croissant. Take a seat outside for prime people-watching, or take it with you - a little treat while you explore the market.

Guillam Coffee House

📍Notting Hill

Guillam is a study in restraint. No chalkboard quotes, no gimmicks. Just honest coffee and pastry in a clean, understated space. It’s comfy and stylish without it being overwhelming which is not easy to find.

Order an almond croissant and a flat white. It’s a simple pairing, but one they’ve perfected - flaky layers giving way to a rich almond filling, balanced by the smooth, creamy espresso.

Hermanos Colombian Coffee Roasters

📍Portobello Road

Fun, bright, and always filled with music, Hermanos brings a slice of Colombia to London. The owners work directly with farmers back home, roasting the beans locally so the profiles stay vibrant and distinct.

Trust us, go straight for a pour-over. It’s the purest expression of their work - sweet, aromatic, with the kind of clarity that makes you pause after the first sip. In summer, their cold brew is a quiet masterpiece.

Pophams Bakery

Pophams is, first and foremost, a bakery. But it’s one of the few where the coffee can hold its own against the pastries. And those pastries, they’re not the ones you’ve seen a hundred times. Expect flavor combinations you didn’t know you wanted, and textures you’ll dream about later.

Our advice: order whatever’s new and special that week. Pair it with a simple coffee, and let the pastry do the talking.
