Glass (Buck St Market, Camden)

Buck Street Market has undergone a transformation, with a box-park style construction now replacing the old, more ramshackle market that occupied the space for many years. Some may lament the loss but there is a new energy about the place with a number of interesting options, particularly with regards to food.

The biggest and most pleasant surprise was encountering Glass coffee.

I have moaned on several occasions that when asking for a filter, I'm met with indifference, and often passed off with a generic 'americano'  which is always infuriating.

No such problem here, the staff know what they are talking about and they are happy to share their extensive knowledge of the coffee lifecycle.

The coffee of the day was from Myanmar, a place many dont really think of as producing much coffee.  This was complex tasting roast that took time to reveal itself.  

After years in the wilderness, Camden has slightly improved in its specialist coffee options, but it hasn't had anything that really inspires.  This changes now with Glass.  I suggest you go for the coffee and stay for the story.
