"Monmouth, a popular coffee shop on the fringes of Borough Market, is the perfect place around this hectic part of town for coffee and a light bite. Their filter coffee has been consistently excellent over the years. Arrive here early in the morning or mid-afternoon if you want to avoid the peak times queues. And know that if you’re taking away, you’ll have to bring your own reusable cup, or pay a £5 deposit for a Monmouth one which you can keep using (they’ll swap a dirty one for a clean one) or return for a refund." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
