This place is a hidden gem! I’ve been walking passed it for months now on the way to ballet and I decided to stop by today. Continental blend is 9 for 500g! Mountain Blend is 13.50 for 500g. I just made a cuppa with my moka and it’s amazing! I can’t drink any other grocer/ Amazon bought ground coffee anymore. I’ll be back to try the rest of the blends. Looking forward to trying santos dark. And to the people complaining about the 70 year old man, he’s just doing his best. We all are. It’s cash only btw! George is getting a card reader sorted but please give him time x

Good service, George is friendly. The shop feels very tucked away and is not open for many hours BUT not a problem. I got the mountain blend and OMG it is So Good. Personally, I use a moka pot and when I say this is some of the best coffee I’ve ever brewed I’m not joking. I have a rule of not having more than one coffee a day or really drinking coffee past midday and I had to have 3 cups one after the other. I drank one cup and I had two more... like, I have to force myself to not drink too much of this so I don’t go insane! It is so so good. Good value too.

This coffee shop is a true time capsule from the 70s—not as a deliberate aesthetic choice, but simply because the owner has kept it just as it was when he took over from his uncle. Without a doubt, it’s a piece of Camden’s history. Mr. George has been roasting coffee with dedication for years, and the quality speaks for itself—rich, flavorful, and expertly crafted. I have an espresso machine at home and always buy my coffee beans from his shop. If you appreciate great coffee and a bit of local history, this place is well worth a visit!

My go to place to get my coffee beans. Have been going for a few years now and the quality never disappoints. I agree with one of the other contributors that its hit and miss to get there when George is open. But he is a Camden gem, so cut him a bit of slack for his age. Its like a museum for coffee roasting.

George is such a lovely gentleman, he knows coffee inside and out, ans roast package all by himself. The shop is like a museum, definately worth a visit even you are not a coffee person. If you love coffee, then more reason to come and buy some freshly roasted beans from him.

George is a king amongst men and this is some of the best coffee you’ll find in London hands down and no shade to Monmouth ( I adore you) but nothing on their menu at the moment compares to the Ethiopian available here. 20 cash for 500g and worth every penny and the current beans are sublime ! Hurry before they’re all snapped up. A true gem of a place and so grateful it’s still here x
