Written By Luke Dalton

Grind started life in Shoreditch as a stylish coffee bar, and in the years since it’s become a go‑to London coffee, brunch and cocktail destination, blending speciality espresso with bottomless brunches and expertly mixed espresso martinis.

While Grind’s focus isn’t solely on takeaway coffee like Costa or Starbucks, its espresso‑led drinks are consistently praised, and the atmosphere draws a mix of freelancers, brunch groups and evening crowds.

Below is a snapshot of what you’ll find at Grind’s UK cafés in 2026, including prices, coffee offerings and whether it’s worth dropping in with a laptop.

Grind Coffee Menu UK (2026)

Note: Grind is primarily a restaurant‑style coffee bar (not a classic quick‑serve chain), so menus vary a little by location. These prices are typical for core coffee drinks in central London cafes (like Soho, Shoreditch, Covent Garden and London Bridge).

Drink Size / Variant Typical Price
Espresso Single £2.90
Americano Regular £3.50
Flat White Regular £3.00–£3.80
Latte Regular £3.50–£4.20
Cappuccino Regular £3.50–£4.20
Iced Latte / Cold Brew Regular £4.00–£4.50

Prices approximate based on typical listings for Grind coffee drinks in London and central UK cafes.

Coffee Style & Atmosphere

Grind’s cafés are far more than a quick coffee stop. They’re a hybrid of speciality coffee bar, all‑day brunch venue and cocktail destination, meaning:

  • Expect a lively atmosphere, especially at brunch and weekends.

  • Many locations serve cocktails, craft beers, wine and full brunch menus alongside coffee.

  • London outposts include Shoreditch, Soho, Covent Garden, London Bridge and Liverpool Street, each with its own vibe.

Although Grind does offer free Wi‑Fi and seating, it’s not traditionally a “remote work café”, the energy is built for social meetups, brunches and casual meetings rather than long laptop sessions.

Grind Rewards: Loyalty & Perks

Grind runs a Grind Rewards programme that works both in‑store and online:

  • Earn 1 point for every £1 spent through the Grind app or website.

  • 55 points can be redeemed for a free coffee, cocktail, ten compostable coffee pods or a pouch of coffee.

  • You can also earn bonus points for actions like buying reusable cups or using subscriptions.

This table‑style programme makes it easy to collect rewards whether you’re grabbing espresso on the way to work or brunching with friends.

Best Drinks & Tips

  • Best simple choice: Flat white, classic espresso balance and typically cheaper than fancier lattes.

  • Best chilled drink: Iced latte or cold brew, refreshing and popular in summer.

  • Bonus treat: Their signature espresso martinis are a staple in café‑bar branches.
