Monmouth Coffee Company
Apparently the best coffee in Borough Market. There’s a long queue to get your coffee and seats are limited.
If you can’t wait, there are many other small coffee kiosks around the market.
One of them is Flat Cap Borough.
I find Monmouth okay but loads of people like it judging from their queue. I find their latte a bit milky. Perhaps I should have ordered a piccolo or a machiato.
They have an interesting long table concept with bread and other condiments freely available for patrons.

Shoryu Ramen
Long, long queue to get in. Tables are small and it’s quite difficult to sit a large crowd. Notwithstanding that, their ramen and hirata bun (char siu with bun) are awesome. Met Sow here for dinner.

Burger and Lobster
Only 3 things in the menu, burger, lobster or roe! We ordered burger and roe. Roe, in a form of a sandwich, is exceptionally good. Burger was tender and juicy but I should have ordered the lobster 🙁
There’s also a long queue to get in. We were there at 530pm and there was no queue. But the waiter and waitresses gave us dirty looks for sitting there too long.

The Elgin
My favourite cafe so far in London. Strategically located – just few doors from my apartment. Friendly service and great coffee (they serve piccolo here!). There’s no queue nor it is crowded.
Food is great. Pancakes and mushrooms on toasts are highly recommended.
