ABOUT US

Monmouth Coffee opened in 1978 roasting and retailing coffee from a small shop in Covent Garden with the aim of providing coffee with producer traceability and professional, knowledgeable, and welcoming service.

Fast forward 46 years and we still retail coffee from Covent Garden, and now we also buy nearly all of our coffee directly and have a bean counter that sees about 60 coffees in a year. We also have a much larger roasting site with Loring roasters, an online shop, a busy shop in Borough Market and a team of about 90 people including teams for retail, green coffee, online, wholesale, roasting, packing, accounts, training and maintenance.
