Camden Coffee Shop

Amazing ! great coffee , over the last years loads of micro roasteries have sprung up and still nothing has beaten the beans served here. I create my own espresso blends using santos dark as the kick and various others to create the complexities .This makes lovely shots and great milk based coffee. Also use the single origin beans in the filter . As for the person comparing this to tescos own brand coffee : if you prefer stale , cheap , over roasted beans with additives to freshly roasted Kenya AA it says far more about your taste in coffee than this establishment,

Good coffee, friendly service and reasonable prices. Just ask for George. I love his decaff coffee.

The shop is as interesting for it's form as it's function, being just a tiny room on Delancey St filled with ancient belt-driven grinding and roasting apparatus, bags of green coffee beans, stacks of lead weights for measurement, and strewn with sweepings from the roasters. On the business end of things, a selection of ~8 different roasted beans for purchase whole, or ground to your liking by George, who really is a lovely gent who you'll get to know over time. A 70/30 blend of his Santos Dark and Ethiopian Mocha is my current espresso of choice. Wonderful stuff.

I love Kenyan coffee and usually buy Tescos own brand, which is really very nice. I occasionally treat myself and buy Kenyan beans and grind my own. I bought some Kenyan beans at this shop expecting them to be full of the bright spicy flavour one gets with good (or even an average) Kenyan. However, what I ended up with was a cup hot, bitterish water with no flavour whatsoever. Very disappointed. Won't be going back.

One humble man, one tiny coffee roastery, a handful of exceptionally DELICIOUS coffee varieties. End of story. Ask any devout coffee lover in North London and they will tell you about Camden Coffee. Easily my favorite coffee provider, ever. Low-key, modest hole in the wall... Walk up Delancey Street in Camden and you will smell the goods before you see the shop: Just follow your nose. Enjoy.
