If you can't be arsed to queue at Monmouth in Borough go a couple of doors down and grab a coffee at 'Elliots'. [It looks closed but is open]
They open at 7.30 and are using their own Square Mile blend - They've just got a new girl working there who makes one of the best coffee's I've had in London and is way better than Monmouth's at the mo
This, had a great flat white there.
