19 people recommend, 2 warn against itvia r/london, r/LondonFood, r/AskLondon22 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Monmouth is recommended across its London shops, including Borough Market. One visitor prefers Borough Market to Monmouth Street, while another finds Bermondsey more relaxing. A Borough Market visitor recommends takeaway because tables attract queues, and another visitor finds its pour-overs less carefully prepared than at other specialty shops. A separate critic prefers other roasters, so the strong overall following is not unanimous.
