Best coffee for a post work out @ gymbox or fierce grace.Their juice are so yummy. Try the red one it's my favorite. The quiche was pretty good too. You come for the food and stay for people watching

John Gibbons

One of my favorite stops in Shoreditch. Try their painfully delicious 'Hot Flat White Russian ' with Araku Venezuelan Rum Coffee Liquor , Flat White Milk , folded with a touch of vodka . So good!

Tobias Wacker

On a sunny morning, the red benches next to the entrance might be the most glorious spot in London to catch up on emails, read the paper or simply enjoy espresso in the sun. Just ignore the traffic.

Chris Haines

Great place to go for excellent coffee ! One of the best in the area. Good for people watching . They also do cocktails in the evening and have free WiFi .

Andrea Campi

Lovely way to start a weekend. Has many souls: go early morning and be alone with joggers and people still out from last night. Later it's brunch and hang out in the sun. Great food, music , people

S. Karagiov

The best coffee shop in the area!next to underground station old street !the coffee was amazing and the breakfast too!!Try toast with avocado , very delicious and healthy!!

Andra Georgescu

Amazing cafe mocha and a great atmosphere! However, if you're looking for a quiet place where to work while enjoying a good cup of coffee , I'd suggest looking elsewhere as the music can be quite loud

Ludek

Good coffee (during the day) and amazing coctails (for nights) #bloodymaria #LoveIt

Kristina Sowah

Bartender and everyone who works here is super nice regardless of how busy and the time. Also the drinks happen to be delicious - the perfect pick me up before a night out

New York Habitat

This small & cozy café serves delicious coffee and delectable hot chocolate ! If you come at night, they offer a cocktail bar , like the espresso martini !

ᴡ Elliot

They have almond milk ! The menu looks good, especially the avo toast , and the coffee is best I've had in London.

Sérgio Santos

Really great cappuccino , and a wonderful place for people watching .

Hannah Parvaz

Tiny, loud , and really friendly . Great cocktails and coffee , but really bad for vegetarian / vegan food .

Christo Papadopoulos

A place to go for a proper espresso or a martini espresso . Loyalty card is not top but just go do it, ice it up ;)

Mike Newman

Great coffee , food, and cocktails . And don't forget the recording studio upstairs! Love the rotating-message sign outside as well .

Bruno Pearson

One of the earliest places to start doing Espresso Martini , in London. And still the best. #espressomartini

Hanne S.

Take a seat at the window to watch people go by. Try the hot chocolate if you don't fancy a coffee , it's nice.

Tim Bush

Grab a seat by the window for some great people watching . Coffee is awesome!

Robert Green

LOVE THIS PLACE! Great for Old Street tube, decent WiFi speed and good food too!

Chris Messina

Nice selection of coffees and breakfast options .

Ieva Lekaviciute

They serve amazing coffee-based cocktails , including Espresso Martinis and White Russians in the evening - one of the best I've ever tasted!

Coffee(In)Touch Guide

The Grind is proud of its own blend with beans being roasted daily to their exact specifications and in small batches - freshness is king. Learn More: London: Coffee (In)Touch Guide Read more

Josh Taroli

Flat white is okay/good (2,80£). cool atmosphere. Stroll to brick lane from here ;)!

Stuart Chalmers

Friendly staff and nice coffee on an early Saturday morning. Good for people watching too.

Андрей Тимофеев яблоко

Must be the biggest concentration of hipsters per square meter in London, :D. Also, not many coffee shops know how to make americano/long black correctly. This is not the case, here.

Clay Jensen

The best coffee in Old Street . A fantastic latte , raspberry muffin , wifi , friendly banter- perfect. Still getting on their feet but a great addition to the neighborhood . Cheers!

Alan Morton

Such a lovely coffee shop , lovely coffee , lovely people that work here, nice chilling music to relax too, 9/10 walk passed Starbucks and into here!

Daniella

Full of ridiculous posers who haven't quite found their way to Shoreditch proper! Best cafe in the area though. Great ice coffee + good salads/sandwiches but very expensive ! Great terrace though

Whimsical Voyages

I love the Grind cafés . Good coffee . The Shoreditch one has a unique circular layout and is ideal for people watching .

Bhavani Esapathi

Discovered a kind of coffee drinking I hadn't found in any other coffee shops - the 'short black'. Go ahead give it a try ????

Sophia E.

Excellent coffee and outdoor tables . Average pastries . Don't try to work inside unless you can work in a nightclub . The music volume (and choice) are NOT relaxing.

Bruno Belcastro

The "Nitro Cold Brew " is ace. This location of the Grind company is very cosy as well .

Nico B.

Love the vibe, great own grinded coffee and simple but good breakfast , hurray!

Neli Parchik

By far one of the coolest espresso bars in London! They also offer cocktails after 5pm ????

Benjamin Woods

Inevitably trendy place day or night. Decent breakfast . Download the #app and order your #coffee in advance!

David Abrahamovitch

Without doubt the best coffee in East London. Also amazing cocktails by night, and great tunes !

Eva Schnarrenberger

Best almond latte in London and the staff is as hot as the coffee ????

Joanna

Piccolo out of balance. The place is trendy and popular. Loud music and good pasteis de nata .

George Aba

Amazing Cappuccino in a beautiful spot! There's No better way to start your day..

Kostas Staveris

Best avocado on toast I ever tried in London !! And their coffee , amazing , highly recommended!

Emelia Smith

Despite the huge glass windows and inviting atmosphere, this is, in fact, not a visitor information center. Instead, it's a high quality espresso and cocktail bar .

Rachael Williams

Really good coffee , slightly acidic but overall a very smooth blend. Need to change their soy option though, ruins the great coffee .

Michiel de Vries

The hot flat white russian is delicious and a perfect after dinner drink.

Kim Pham

Cute little coffee shop with decent food options. The breakfast focaccia is great, but skip the green juice .

Mike

The only coffee in Europe we have tasted that is even remotely close to Coffee back home in Australia!

Remi Lefevre

Crowded and warm, the perfect place for (real) coffee lovers by Old Street . Service isn't the best, but the espresso is in my personal Top 5 for London.

Matthew Kent

Great atmosphere for a coffee shop . Great latte art and food. Gets busy.

Sandra Rubinchik

Really convenient cafe , but you can't beat their Covent Garden counterpart.

Martin Reynolds

Fantastic coffee . Their own blend. Highly recommended.

Nick Zero

Interesting shape of the space. Good location to sip coffee while gazing to the Shoreditch commuters through the window.
