Lantana Camden Market: A Coffee Stop in 2016

Lantana Camden Market was my coffee stop during this visit to Camden in October 2016. In this short film, I pop into the café, pick up a takeaway coffee and give it a try back outside among the market stalls.

From the Roberts London archive: this video was originally published on 26 October 2016. It records the café as I found it then.

A new name at Lantana Camden Market

As I approach, I explain that the café had changed its name since my previous visit. I remembered it as Ruby Dock, but it was now branded Lantana. I also mention the Lantana coffee shops I knew in Fitzrovia.

The camera follows me through the brick-arched entrance for a brief look at the counter. There are cups stacked behind the till and customers being served. Then I am back in the market with my coffee.

Trying the coffee

My first reaction is straightforward: the coffee is pretty good. I describe the service on this particular visit as chaotic, but I am happy to recommend the coffee after tasting it.

Outside, I point out the grill and takeaway food. I had not tried the food, so the verdict in this little film is only about the drink. It is a quick coffee break in the middle of a Camden Market visit.
