Amazing authentic shop for buying coffee. Freshly roasted and grounded! The owner is also super friendly and helpful!!!! One little gem in the hearth of london! 💕 😊

This is the best, most freshest coffee available in London and quite possibly England. Since George had to close, I’ve been ordering ground coffee from a variety of online suppliers that have been recommended to me. Not one has come close. I have settled on a company but this is not as good as George and twice the price! I’ve been going to George since 2005 and all my children have accompanied me at various ages in their development so they all know what proper coffee should smell like. I look expectantly at the sign every week hoping George will open soon but I would rather he was safe so I am very happy to wait. Take care George and see you soon! Dev

Everything about this small coffee shop is simply wow and magical. I remember my first experience 6 years ago was mesmerising. The best freshly roasted coffee beans in London. And George, the owner, is just amazing, he’s had this store for over 40 years. The roasting of coffee beans goes in small batches and than you can grind it to your liking. I would recommend Kenyan or Ethiopean beans. For true coffee lovers this place is Mecca, the coffee is superb. And that coffee smell.. ufff.

Good quality Freshly roasted coffee beans for a very reasonable price for London. I've now been here twice, about 5 years between each visit. After 5 years (thereabouts) I can't believe George is still there, he's still roasting the cheapest coffee in London. Choice isn't what it was, but kudos to him for keeping going when others would have retired.

My daughter asked me to take her to Camden Market and I thought, I haven't been to the Camden Coffee Shop for over 6 years so I'd go there and see if Mr George was still roasting coffe. Surprise surprise! Not only was the Shop still open but Mr George was there in good health and roasting away. I asked for coffee beans with the highest caffeine content and lo and behold I walked away a happy man. Mr George is a legend.

Customer over 25 years. Always have mokka for cafetiere. Sincerely sorry to see George has been unwell. Get well soon George missing you mate. X

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

Best place to buy coffee in London. Fresh, roasted beans or ground specifically for you on premises throughout the day, great selection... I recommend Mountain Blend and Kenya AA. There's also a very posh Swiss Water Process decaf for all you amateurs / methadone users

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.

Coffee beans worth going out of your way for. The opening hours are sporadic, but the gentleman who runs this place is an artisan, who stands out in a city of coffee artisans. Magic beans!!

Great hole in the wall coffee shop, beans are roasted fresh on site and in small batches. 10/10 recommended! Don't forgot to take cash - no cards accepted.

There’s a lot of hype around this store and frankly it’s not justified. The coffee isn’t that good for a start and the customer service is poor. The owner insists on cash only and when I asked him which regions his mountain blend came from, not an unreasonable question, he was coy and wouldn’t say. I wouldn’t be going there again. There are far better places, with better quality coffee and better service.

Whoops! Accidentally "liked" Javad's comments. Of course he's completely wrong - Camden Coffee Shop is a gem, and in Japan or China George would be a "living national treasure"! His Santos Dark and his Mocha blend are both delicious. The aroma that fills the street when he's roasting, on his machines which are genuinely 100 years old, is fabulous! It's a tragedy that George hasn't trained up an apprentice... Luckily he's still a young man (in his mid-70s, I think). Long may he continue! PS: That framed photo of him looking like Boris Karloff, which hangs behind the counter, is by me.

Magical little shop! I visited today after stumbling across it and was enchanted. The owner was lovely. It would be good to have a variety of cash/change if you’re visiting. Highly recommend you visit if you’re a coffee lover!

The best place to get freshly roasted coffee beans in London, when you take quality and value into consideration! Have been coming here for years to get coffee for our household. Our favorites are Colombian and Blue Mountain, would definitely recommend!

Excellent old style coffee roasters. Very traditional and good for tourists and locals alike. They don't serve prepared coffee if that's you're after. It's a roaster that sells whole and ground coffee beans. Roasting is done manually using traditional kits. There's a limited choice of coffee beans but that's more than enough for coffee connoisseurs.

Great coffee, but completely unreliable opening hours. Best not to waste time visiting in the morning as there will probably be a makeshift sign on the door, ‘closed till 12.30’. After 30 years of custom, have now had too many wasted journeys recently to this shop. Given up. I wish the shop all the best but you can’t run a business like this.

A truly gem of a place. You get knowledgeable helpful advice from the expert. Astonishing quality at really affordable prices. A must for people who love real quality coffee
