Monmouth Coffee, London — SÉRIF

Monmouth has been doing direct-trade, single-origin coffee since before those words appeared on every café menu in London. The Borough Market location is the original: a narrow room with wooden benches and a queue that moves steadily and without complaint. The coffee is served without ritual or explanation. The silence among the people waiting is the particular silence of people who know what they are waiting for.
