Value proposition

Modern Coffee ®

Welcome to WatchHouse, the home of Modern Coffee. Proudly originating on London’s Bermondsey Street our aspiration is to be the local hero of choice; a home to customers who make decisions with craft and quality in mind. We are a specialty roastery and collection of coffee Houses, with a bespoke subscription service and retail offering.

Modern Coffee is a holistic approach recognising what makes a local cafe so special; excellent coffee, considered spaces, quality food and most importantly the people involved every step of the way. It encapsulates a wider experience which we consider across all elements of our offering. With attention to detail, creativity, and a focus on provenance, we strive to bring you the very best in coffee and more both in our Houses and online.

When buying green coffee, we look for exceptional standards of quality and flavour, whilst being mindful that our selections ensure a positive impact on the socioeconomic and environmental circumstances of farmers and producers. We work with importers who share the same global trading ideology, and while we consider a wide range of coffees that meet our expectations of taste, our decisions are ultimately guided by the wider-reaching impact. It's why you'll see unique origins and a greater frequency of regional lots in our offering.
