Red Monkey Coffee is an independent UK family business founded in 1999 and run by father and son François and Grant Ward. One of the earliest coffee suppliers to trade online in the UK, the business imports Arabica green beans and roasts them in house using traditional artisan techniques, shipping fresh roasted coffee direct to customers.

The range covers espresso, traditional, rare and decaffeinated coffees, with a stated emphasis on single-origin Colombian and other named regions, alongside Jura bean-to-cup machines and accessories. The Highgate address at 422 Archway Road, London, N6 4JH is a correspondence address only with no public shop or visitor access.

The original redmonkeycoffee.co.uk domain operates as a splash page redirecting to the same business at coffees.co.uk/redmonkeycoffee. The business describes itself as environmentally minded, recycling and reusing packaging where possible, and has previously sponsored fundraising for The Monkey Sanctuary Trust.

It holds no formal B Corp, organic or Fairtrade certifications.
