Came with my family to have a brunch at Grind today was greeted by a lovely waitress Janice! She took care of us all morning and helped us with our little one too. Definitely 10/10 service. Breakfast was alright bit pricey but the service makes up for it. Thank you again to Janis

I come here usually once a week to work throughout the day and each time it has been a lovely experience and the staff are generally all very kind. I think the coffee is delicious, though I couldn't comment too much on food as I haven't ordered much - what I have had has been very tasty. However, I felt compelled to write a review today because of Janice (I hope I'm spelling your name right!) who was just so lovely. I picked up on her positive energy as soon as I came in and it wasn't long before this was confirmed when I went to order a matcha latte - she was so lovely in recommending the best way to enjoy it (which her recommendation was absolutely spot on!). It sounds like a simple interaction, nothing special, but I've seen how hospitality can be incredibly draining. It takes a lot of patience and kindness to make an effort to engage with customers in conversation (and I don't blame or judge anyone who doesn't) - most customers don't even deserve such kind treatment but I see someone like Janice would likely treat every customer with kindness. In my eyes, she went above and beyond and really made my day even better. She might feel she didn't do much, but sometimes these simple conversations can make all the difference to a person in a world where individualism is favoured over community. Thanks Janice and wishing you abundance and all the best in your endeavours :-) Dee

Had a great Sunday morning brunch here recently. Service can be a little on and off, but on this occasion we were well looked after. Definitely a great spot for a breakfast on the weekend if you’re on the way into London via Waterloo.

Had a lovely breakfast here on a Saturday morning. The staff were fantastic! Super friendly and helpful. The coffee was top notch! And would definitely bring us back again. The standout dish for us were the Harissa Cakes. Full of flavor and good amount of spice. The Chicken & Waffles were unfortunately just so-so. The waffles were decent and the sauce had a good heat to offset the sweet from the syrup. What let the dish down was the chicken. The pieces I got were very tough and chewy. It felt like they’d been left in the fryer a bit too long and after a few bites I just couldn’t eat anymore. Overall we had a lovely morning and we would definitely return for the amazing coffee!!
