For a foodie, I have to say, I have only had 2 forays to Borough Market. Why? 2 reasons. One. The market is very commercial, the store holders are usually employees or are running small business, rather than a real “farmers market”. This makes the prices somewhat expensive and the service somehow not so personal. Two. It’s just extremely crowded at all times for you to be able to enjoy it fully. Saying that though, you can still find a large variety of food, of pretty good quality here, and most importantly, this is the home of Monmouth Coffees, the best coffee in London I have encountered.
Out of all my experiences, I have so far tried:
- Monmouth cappuccino (2), all made with a double shot of espresso!
- WODL (Raclette) (or the Raclette Guy) for Toasted sarnies (£4)
- Strawberry - 2 punnets for (£2.50)
- Raspbery for (£1) at Jock Stark
- Mortiner cheese, £14.50/kg
- Flour Power City Pain au Levain – white. A naturally fermented sourdough, (£ 2.50 for half a 800g round)
