As I was wandering around Covent Garden the other day in the snow I decided I needed some coffee to warm me up so I checked out Monmouth (they use to roast their own coffee beans in the basement of this store). I walked in and was surprised at how small it was, but how well they managed everything within such a small place. All the food looked very tasty, the staff seemed happy, and the place was very well lit. They even had some cute church like benches/booths in the back for dine in.
I decided on a ham and cheese croissant, but was a little disappointed when they told me that they couldn't warm it. For my coffee I went with a decaf cappuccino both for takeaway. I paid my £4.70 and was later given the smallest to go coffee that I had ever been handed (think not much bigger than an espresso shot size). I looked at it and then back at the lady and said, "Is this it?" she smiled and said, "Yes". Soooo note to self if I go back there I will more than likely dine-in with hopes of receiving a bigger portion. Since both were good I'd probably go back. Geez, London is expensive.
Cheers,

I smell the makings of a Monday Morning Coffee gathering! Especially if we can score a pew!
