The Coffee Jar in Camden

This place is essentially a run down dive with the most rude staff and the most awful coffee. To be avoided. Many other coffee shops in the area.

Very disappointing - no access to the cafe due to COVID rules - but a member of the public entering shop and handing out coffees to other customers - odd and unhygienic. Topped off with said member of the public asking me why I was wearing a face covering when no one was around me - he asked this while standing 1m away. Average tasting coffee, dry and overpriced banana bread. One to avoid.

I've been in Germany since March. But I carry my once-local Camden coffee heaven in my heart always! Dear Coffee Jar, I hope you're still able to bring simple delicious joy to as many people as possible. Don't give up!

Maria and the team are just the best and friendliest in the area! Their Coffee is unmatched like their sandwiches, a must-visit if you are working, living or visiting the area!

Just moved to the area and trying to find that little place that will convince me to stay away from the big chains; I really do want to! Lots of people outside The Coffee Jar, so I was hopeful. Nope ☹️ Quite a long wait, but hoped that was a good sign. Pastries were definitely yesterday’s, maybe older. Coffee was average. Back to Pret 🙄

Visiting London for the weekend and made 2 trips to this delightful little coffee shop. Truly amazing coffee and the avocado on toast with basil oil was simply delicious!!!Great little find and well worth a visit, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you, hopefully see you again soon. Giovanni

Loved the avocado sandwich, and turmeric latte! Their tea and salmon sandwich was also great! Friendly staff and nice atmosphere, very cozy cafe.

We’re so happy we stumbled into this charming little coffee spot. Super nice and efficient staff. Excellent coffee, toast and pastry.

I think london is full of coffee shops that seem great but end up being disappointing, but not the coffee jar! Really nice cosy vibe to the shop and lovely coffee- served hot and the perfect level of foam. would reccomend!

Lovely staff, great service, amazing coffee and tasty food. Can I give it 10 stars? A must for the coffee aficionados.

It’s a tiny little coffee a short walk from Camden station but a great find! It’s best for a grab and go coffee as it’s small but if you’re lucky you can get a couple of seats outside and in. Serves Monmouth Coffee which is the best in London and lovely cakes!

Tiny coffee place in Camden, really good coffee, yummy cakes and the savoury menue looks great, too. Highly recommended by me and my coffee expert son.

Visited here the other weekend with my family since moving from the states and myself and my family thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Exquisite coffee and complimented by various wonderful cakes. Will be back! Friendly service too!

Great coffee! Great friendly service! Gluten free and vegan snack options. Will definitely be back! :)

We visited this place for afternoon coffee when we decided on a whim to make our way over to Camden to meet my wife’s son after work for a quick drink. The flat white was very good - they do use Monmouth beans - and the service/environment very pleasant. Certainly worth a visit.

I went to this coffee shop because it was close to the Camden Jazz Cafe and we needed some coffee. They serve Monmouth beans which are quite nice (although I did try them at Monmouth's own coffee store at Monmouth Street and they honestly did...

A nice and tasty coffee with a lovely aroma. Made with love and passion by a very helpful smiley barista. Not to forget the tasty yummy cakes which complemented the coffee pretty well. Highly recommend. :)

Halfway from accommodations, walking back it is always a delight to stop, chat with baristas (ladies), friendly and smiling, order a coffee with a cookie. This time was no exception.

Very happy to have an amazing coffee after acupuncture next door Staff are swell and the coffee is amazing with a great design in the foam! Thanks guys I’ll cum again and again!

Awesome coffee made with passion from the friendliest team ever! Maria, Rita and Sarah always give customers a warm welcome and greet them with a smile :) They use high quality beans to make great coffees every time. There is a good offering of sweet...

The aroma smell is magical. I always get my coffee from here. The sandwishes are also very delicious and made freshly daily. The cookies and cakes are amazing. Staff is loving and very friendly. Place is small and very cozy. 100% recommended. Thank you.

Best coffee I've had in a while and cookies.Would not regret traveling a distance to grab one more again.

I work in Camden and this is some of the best coffee I've had in the area. I highly recommend it if you are a coffee lover.

Seriously, the best Avocado on toast, i have ever tasted outside of my own kitchen. What is so speacial about it you may ask? Go to The Coffee Jar and taste it and see!

The triple chocolate cookie I had was amazing, the toasted croissant my husband had was equally good. The latte was good. I had green tea was ok, but quite small and weak, would have preferred to sort out the strength myself. Busy place, limited seating...

I had a really amazing Latte today and a avocado on toast which was to die for. The next time I come I think I'll try the cakes as they looked amazing.

It’s a funny world , I’ve worked for myself for nearly 40 years . Dealing with customers - good & bad is something that comes naturally to some people . Some days you just don’t feel like talking to anyone but I’ve always pulled myself...

The very small coffee bar was full with locals. And had a good choice of the most delicious fresh Bread, pastery and cakes. All of them made with love homemade and fresh. Very normal pricing. I loved the brioche with Cream cheese and salmon for...

No shortage of coffee places in Camden, but this is the best. Top coffee and charming service. Nice sociable feel to the place.

The cappuccino here is AMAZING 😋! They use Monmouth beans and have gorgeous cups to serve their cappuccino. Fell in love with this small cafe but was a little out of the way for me to go more than that one time. Coffee lovers in...

I love this tiny little coffee shop. The staff are great, the atmosphere is brilliant and they serve lots of milk atls, including Bonsoy and Oatly.

I started working on a site In Camden. Spent a couple of weeks trying different coffee houses....until I found the Coffee Jar. Superb small coffee shop.best Superb coffee. Great cakes and very, friendly staff. . Always 1st stop in Camden

After a day at the zoo and Camden market, this is a cute little coffee shop to chill for a bit. I've been to my fair share of independent coffee shops around the globe and quite liked the coffee here. The shop is very small...

It may be small and at times a little squashed but that is easily forgiven, when you are greeted by name, well after you have been there a few times. If you sit there for a while you will realise this is how the vast...

I found The Coffee Jar from The London Coffee Guide which i always carry with me in my visits to London. Went in the Breakfast En-Route to London Zoo and was not disappointed by this brilliant Cafe. Me and my Wife ordered a Croissant, a...

Up there with the best coffee in London - barista's really know what they are going! Top notch Monmouth coffee. Never had a flat white here that has been anything less than excellent. The staff are always super friendly and seem to know all their...

I found the coffee jar as my first coffee place when I moved to London and found my way back many times. This tiny place is cozy and private. Sarah is amazing and it feels she knows every person by name when they enter. Coffee...

The place is quite nice, but very dirty, there are empty cups everywhere... the coffee is very weak and terrible taste. I've ordered a double macchiato and I received a single espresso with some milk over heated. Try to avoid if you really like coffee....

Really cool little coffee shop with super friendly staff and great coffee. It's tiny, but that only adds to the experience! Thoroughly recommended!

Based on tripadvisor reviews five of us went to this place and ordered a double espresso each. It looked good with a nice crema golden top, but it was virtually undrinkable due to the extreme acidity. After a small sip the sour and stale flavour...

Really tiny space,extremely pleasant and helpful staff.Primarily for a variety of snacks and good coffees.Not providing comfortable seating !

This is my go to place in the weekends for coffee and lunch for the last 2 years now. Lovely place, friendly staff and excellent coffee. Sandwiches and yoghurt pot are great too! If you want something sweet or savoury to go with possibly the...

delicate flavours of caramel, chocolate with no bitterness, in my double short mach. Soy caps were very creamy, smooth, brought my daughter back to life

Lovely coffee, excellent looking cakes and pastries. Always friendly service. Organic coffee and milk used. Would definitely recommend.

We, me and my husband,go to this lovely place more than two years, almost everyday sometimes even 2 times per day. And today just noticed that people who even not regular there, use loyal cards for free cup of coffee, so little but nice thing....

I am a coffee snob and the coffee here was as good as any I have tasted. Food was excellent we shared a toasted sandwich and two cakes. I would be so happy if this was my local back in Melbourne Australia.

This is very small coffee place but coffee is excellent. Plenty different cakes and brownies, very tasty. Definitely I will be back

Really great coffee, friendly service, and a fantastic selection of cakes and treats. Wish there was more seating as you tend to sit against the window elbow fighting for space. Drop in for tasty snacks and well made brew.

I love the Coffee Jar! It's a small venue so not good for a long meeting - perhaps in summer if you sat outside. The Coffee is really really good and the cakes look awesome (but have not eaten there yet). Staff are really nice...

Great coffee. Great place to take a moment and rest a little bit from a good vacation day. Very recommended

The Coffee Jar offers great coffee and a wide selection of bakes which taste as good as they look (TRY the chocolate brownie - just the best!). The shop is tiny; it is best to go at quiet times if you intend to sit in...

A stop on Parkway going to High Street at Coffee Jar is always a delight. The barista ladies manage a very friendly place that offers Monmouth coffee and homemade cakes & cookies.

This is a lovely coffee shop in Camden away from the hustle and bustle of the high street. The coffee is amazing! They do the best carrot cake and other sweet treats.

The organic coffee tastes amazing here. Staff are friendly and chatty. However due to the place being so small the staff try and take orders off people waiting in the queue even those on the doorstep so it takes a while to get your coffee....

This coffee place is on the top of the list offering the best coffee anywhere . The regulars swear by it - and there is generally a line up of peopke to have the coffee crosaunt , sandwich which Are reasonably priced . The location...

Loved it! We had coffee and babycino's (and the baby ones come in a takeaway cup with a straw! Not too hot for little mouths either). Coffee made me feel like being back in Melbourne's best hole-in-the-wall places. Also highly recommend the millionaire shortbread and...

Cracking independent coffee shop. Monmouth beans great staff. It's a small spot but excellent. Well worth the short walk from Central Camden. Chuffed we found it. Definitely return.

This small coffee shop makes excellent coffee that comes from Monmouth. They also have a nice selection of cakes and cookies. The chocolate brownie is homemade and literally TO DIE FOR! The place is very small with a few seats only. Staff is nice. I...

Soooo glad that I found this place. Love their coffee, their staff and their sweets...after struggle to find great coffee in London. This little gem will become a great place to visit to all coffee lovers!

I come here very regularly and it is my favorite spot for coffee in London, it is great that it is very local and has amazing cakes too. It can get a bit busy which is the only issue but well worth it

This is excellent coffee to enjoy in the quaint cafe or to take away. There are no tables, but two small bars ideal for individuals or pairs, but not for larger groups. Great place!

I think this is a lovely coffee shop that's hidden away from Camden's high street. I would definitely recommend visiting here for good coffee at a good price. However, I've not tried the food. I also think it's a coffee shop that values its local...

Randomly stopped in to grab a hot coffee to warm up while wandering Camden Market... it's a quirky little place... but the do do you a good cuppa. Would happily grab a coffee any time here.

I casually came across the coffee jar and the first thing that you will notice is the very small place of the bar. But the second one and the most important is the quality of the coffees and cakes that they prepare everyday. The courtesy...

Wonderful tasty coffee - the baristas take special care of each order and you can definitely tell. One of my dailies before work!

Popped in on my way to work. Staff were very polite and chatty. Coffee was lovely and I chose the brownie, which was difficult as there were so many lovely things to choose from. The brownie was delicious. Looking forward to going back again.

The girls working there are so sweet and lovely. I'm working near the coffee jar and I'm always going to buy my super coffee. They are doing one of the best coffees in London. Love this place and their cookies!!!

I'm a regular visitor to Coffee Jar, and I can never fault the service. Everyone is really friendly and polite, no matter how quiet, busy, early or late it is. They are always attentive and provide exceptional service. And to make things better, they have...

I love this place! The service is fantastic, the coffee is amazing and the banana bread is impeccable! You have to go!!!! 8 stars, 110%! It's that good!!!😄

The service was great and the place provided refuge from the rain. There's wifi and amazing brownies which I would recommend to anyone. The place is relatively cheap and makes for a great place to grab a cup of tea.

It is a delight to taste real coffee, NOT the instant sort. And Coffee Jar has aficionados hanging around all the time. Service by the ladies is friendly. They were chatting with regular guests and still able to welcome walk in guests and serve well.

Not much space, but filled with a gorgeous aroma of coffee and lots of yummy baked treats that go with coffee! Coffee tastes great as well!

We sat in and we got some very nice ceramic cups to drink from. Cosy hipster decor, good coffee and friendly service.

The Coffee Jar under the careful eye of the owner Maria, with the regular Barista Sarah and incredibly friendly manager (who's name I didn't find out and it's been too many visits/discussions about the weather to ask) are really the kings of the Camden coffee...

Visited this little place on our way to Camden Market and fell in love with it! Amazing toasts, lovely atmosphere and wonderful staff! Didnt try the coffee, however, the people who did said they loved it! (The fresh orange juice was delicious too) Make sure...

Went here after a really poor brunch at Ramsey's York & Albany up the road. This was SO much better. The owners behind the counter are wonderful and the cakes and pastries are terrific as is the coffee and the teas. Beautiful sky-lit space at...

Really enjoyed this small coffee/lunchroom. The service was wonderful! They were very friendly and even gave us great advice for the rest of our trip. By the way, the coffee and sandwich was great too..

Visiting family in Camden and needed to find my daily coffee fix. This place is by far the best I have had in London. Consistently good coffee. I am quite particular about my latte's and The Coffee Jar ticks all the boxes. Treat yourself.

Have your coffee there and one of their spectacular Sweets. It is worth the trip, no doubt. A great barista at work, marvellous coffee and very friendly Service.

Best on Camden... So far. Forget Costa, Nero etc. Delicious looking collection of cookies, buns and cakes too.

Went in because they do monmouth beans, and wasn't disappointed. The cakes are what really stole the show though!

Stumbled on this little place and had a coffee and toasted ciabatta. A simple combination which was done well and at good value (£6.50). Salami, rocket & mozzarella ciabatta was a delight. And how I managed to resist one of the baked sweet goods I...

found it on reviews basis, this is just a perfect little spot for coffee if you are in Camden. I had coffee twice here last week, made by two different ladies and both times it was simply PERFECT. The right temperature, a wonderful balance of...

A great way to start the day , the Perfect cup of coffee . Served by a happy smiley lady . Super range of homemade cakes biscuits .

Coffee Jar serves the best coffee in Camden full stop! The cakes are home made and match the coffee perfectly. Next time you are in the area make sure skip the chain coffee shops and visit Coffee Jar at the top of Parkway. Warning: the...

Located on Parkway and according to The Times the best independent new coffee shop of 2013, the Coffee Jar is a lovely place to sit, have a very good coffee with home-made cookies or cakes and toasted or ordinary sandwiches, to eat in or take...

One of the best coffees I've ever had in London. I'm very vulnerable to sour or bitter tasting coffees and can't even finish them. But this cappuccino was tasty and of the right size- not too small and not too big. And not too hot...

The best cappuccino i have ever had in London....in fact i have ever had. Absolutely superb! I would recommend this to anyone looking for that special coffee that really is just perfection in a cup. Bravo! ps. From what I have had of the food....the...

Amazing to have such a wonderful cappuccino and an amazing 'Pastel de Nata' in this very simple shop in the middle of nowhere... (Actually Camden Town!). Don't miss it if you are around!

Super small but amazing coffee shop. Lovely staff who make an excellent coffee. I had a long black and it was amazingly smooth and not at all bitter. If a coffee's good black, it's good coffee! Keep 'em coming chaps!

A friend recommended me to go and have a coffee at this place : 'It's very small but you'll be in for a treat' she said. Very warm welcome from the girl behind the counter. Lots of giggles when I said I had been sent...

Charming, smiley, nice people behind the counter and fearsomely good coffee. Water bowls for dogs. Love this place

Really well made and priced coffee. Cakes are great. I had the chicken sandwich however and it wasn't very good. More like an average chicken burger.

I was kinda disappointed that good coffee is hard to find in London. Don't get me wrong, I had some PHENOMENAL tea while there, but coffee wasn't really all that good. Until I went to The Coffee Jar. This little place made the best cup...

The coffee is still great, there's more biscuits to choose from, all are good. Really worth stepping away from the busy throngs around Camden Town tube station to visit this calm spot and have a breather before turning back to the market crowds.

It's just really, really good, proper coffee, although actually the cakes are pretty good too. There is limited seating, it's a tiny shop, but most people get theirs to take away so actually I've never not been able to sit-down when I've wanted to.

This used to be a real gem for amazing coffee. However, the owner Maria seems to have disappeared and the staff is definitely not as good as it used to be. The coffee was always perfect, excellent coffee beans, right temperature milk, perfect foam etc....

Was excited to try out thus little coffee shop and was greatly disappointed. It is small cosy sweet...perfect for people watching bad coffee drinking. The barrister was terrible. He failed to mention that coffee shop was closing in 10minutes. We'd already paid fir our coffee/tea....

Been here two times now and had excellent flat white. Friendly staff and it is located in the heart of Camden.

I stumbled upon this cute little coffee shop in Camden and now I am there almost everyday! Coffee is delicious and is always served at a welcoming temperature, not boiling hot which is lovely. In terms of the food I have found my firm favourites,...
