    Went to Grind to celebrate a hen party last week. The place is quite big and spacious. Perfect for meeting family or group of friends. It’s in the centre of London so always quite busy. Better to book in advance. The service was really good, we were seated very quickly, and they checked with us continuously till the order was completed. If I'm honest the food wasn't quite what I would have liked for the price point. Small portions, burnt toast and poached eggs carbonara was too salty. Overall it was good experience but it could have been better.

    nice place for brunch. The restaurant wasn’t so busy, so we got our orders pretty quick! food was delicious, but some parts of mushrooms on the potato hash dish were a bit saltier. hot choc is decent, not too watery and has a rich cocoa taste. eggs are perfectly poached! :) tons of options for vegetarians too

    Was excited about my first visit to Grind London Bridge. Great location, great vibe! But disappointed with the coffee, had a Coconut Flat White. Not great at all, sour taste almost! However, they kindly offered another drink, Oat Flat White. This tasted great. Thank you Grind London Bridge!

    Great brunch in the center of London☺️ We had the avocado toast and the almond milk porridge. The bread was a bit too thick for my preference, but overall both dishes were great! The staff is lovely, the service is fast and they have good coffee. They have options for lactose intolerant persons and also several vegan options.

    Great place to grab a coffee or cocktail. Would particularly recommend the Tumeric latte! Not great for food, we ordered the summer rolls as a snack and they were poor. Would stick to drinking here only.

    Nice cocktails at very reasonable prices (for London) of around £12 a cocktail. I enjoyed the apple pie martini and my partner liked his cocktail too.

    Had one of the best pancake I ever tasted! The buttermilk pancake was fluffy and crispy at the edges. Goes so well with the mascarpone and berry compote! The bottom pancake was soaked maple syrup which was too sweet for me. Wish the syrup was provided separately. Service staff was helpful to our request to change seat near the door which was too cold for us. 👍🏽👍🏽

    Would not recommend brunch at this place, food was terrible. Looks can be deceiving! Ordered the french toast with banana but the banana turned out to be dry banana chips, accompanied by an arid piece of brioche bread, miles away from what a french toast should be. Our other order was the Smoked Salmon (eggs royale), which came with desert-dry crumpets. It was however slightly better than the french toast. The only saving grace of this place is the service, waiters and waitresses were very friendly. [Side Note] If you’re looking for a good french toast, your money is better spent at Chez Antoinette Victoria, theirs is moist and comes with real fruits!

    Amazing service at this location, particularly our server Indie who was so good at keeping our glasses full, attentive throughout and also just really nice and chatty which made all the difference. Food was top notch as per usual too!

    Lovely food and great flavours and rapid service, and great atmosphere. However, none of the waiter’s (the 3 we saw) and the barman were wearing face masks. They all had it down their neck or just covering the mouth but not the nose. What a shame it does ruined the experience.

    I meet up with a best friend of mine every few months and we always jump at the chance to go for 'Bottomless Brunch' because why not. This time round she suggested Grind at London Bridge. Adele was fantastic, she was so tentative and really helpful with the food choices. There's a great choice on the menu and sometimes I get easily side tracked so to have her suggest a few 'greats' for us to share was perfect. Will definitely be coming back.

    What a way to spend a girly afternoon, over from belfast visiting a friend and we decided on coming to Grind for bottomless brunch, amazing experience and I would recommend 10/10! Amazing food, glasses never empty and amazing service. Would like to put out a special thanks and shout out to our amazing server ‘Indie’ for her lovely manner and being very attentive to us. Thank you! Ps, recommend the hot buttermilk chicken burger!!!

  • 2/5 S B. 9 months ago on Google
    Visited for late lunch whilst at work. I had the chicken sando and chips. I was expecting a sandwich and it's actually a chicken burger with a few sprinkles of jalapenos and cabbage/onion slices. The sauce was spicy and very watery. Difficult to eat. The chicken is very thin and crispy it doesn't actually taste like chicken! The pancakes were good but not sweet at all, it comes with a small pot a syrup which wasn't enough!! I am disappointed with my experience. I'm unlikely to recommend. Coke was the tiny 220ml glass bottles which is always a disappointing for someone who ordered coke at restaurants.

    Excellent Ambiance. Staff were extremely kind and helpful. Food very tasty, was a great way to start the day with a freshly made Acai Bowl. Will definitely visit again, especially when having guests in London from other cities.

    Great friendly service and very tasty food. The Korean chicken burger is amazing - just spicy enough! You can add bottomless Prosecco etc to any main course for £20 to really kick off your weekend. Very close to Borough Market for a wander to let that food settle! Great all round restaurant with great cocktails - certainly worth a visit

    The Grind London Bridge is a hidden gem! I expected it to be a coffee shop but it has such a fun vibe with cocktails and great food!!! All the staff were so accommodating and friendly which really made my experience great. They have a separate breakfast, lunch and dinner menu! We had the breakfast and that did not disappoint. The food and drink is also very fairly priced! for 2 people who ordered 2 mains and 2 drinks it came to £16 each which is great!! I will definitely be back!!

    I recommend 😊 Ordered a Protein Breakfast Bowl with bacon, Buttermilk pancakes and One Pan Eggs. Four stars because they didn’t have chorizo sausages and had run out of chai latte’s. Lovely food experience nonetheless.

    A good vibe. Service was slow but they were full. Worth the 30 minute wait not having reserved a table. Photo: Breakfast burrito.

    My boyfriend and I had such a fantastic experience at Grind. Food was amazing! Had Emelia taking care of us. She was absolutely fantastic! I’ve got a shellfish allergy and she made sure there was a zero chance of cross contamination based on what I was ordering. I’ve not had that level of care from a server before in London. She was also extremely patient and kept checking in frequently to ensure we enjoyed our meals. BIG BIG shoutout to Emelia!!

  • 5/5 Riece M. 9 months ago on Google
    We loved this place! Had some of the best coffee we had while in London, the service was great (we loved our sweet server), and the food was awesome! The full English is great if that’s what you’re looking for but we were more in the mood for something else and we adored the eggs Benedict. Delicious!! Highly recommend.

    Nice looking coffee shop and decent drinks available. Nothing hugely different on offer. Overall good place to catch a drink whilst on a walk or your way to work 🗓

  • 3/5 marc a. 2 years ago on Google
    My friend and I had a hot chocolate, a coffee and a piece of chocolate tart. I think the waiter seemed a bit disappointed that we didn't order any cocktail as everybody else in the place seemed to have ordered a cocktail. But he remained nice. The coffee was ok. I can't say for the hot chocolate but the chocolate tart with really not good. It didn't have any taste of chocolate at all. It had a strong taste of peanut butter. The sour cream (I guess) didn't match at all with the tart. The place looks more like a lounge than a coffee shop. Obviously pricey because it's located close to London bridge.

    I have been to grind in person and order their biodegradable coffee pods. The coffee is great and customer service matches, even when a delivery was lost by Yodel. Thanks to Rachel in customer service

  • 5/5 Charlotte F. 5 months ago on Google
    My waiter, Zvone was so accommodating and made my special occasion at Grind so special. He is so funny and friendly and I will definitely be returning to Grind after this. It is so rare to receive such attentive service. He was so attentive and fun and recommended the Espresso martini and it was absolutely divine!!!!! I highly recommend this location and the espresso martini, delicious!

  • 4/5 Shatha A. 4 months ago on Google
    The flat white was very tasty. I had (one pan eggs) it was delicious but a little bit spicy.

  • 1/5 Daniela Pereira C. 4 months ago on Google
    One of the worst places I’ve ever been! Staff was nice but the ambient noise was annoying and the food omg what was that? How can someone cook this dish and ask ~12 pounds for it??! I wish I could get my money back!

  • 5/5 Ray R. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved my visit to Grind, the food was delicious and I was served by Nkem who was incredible. She was so helpful and even though it was very busy Nkem didn’t make me feel rushed, she was incredibly helpful and charming. Would highly recommend Grind 👏🏼☺️

    First of all, I wanted to tell you that if you're ever in the City near London Bridge, please go visit London Grind Restaurant. From the Management down to their Staff to their service, you won't be disappointed. I wanted to try out their Smash Burger, I was told by my colleague that I shouldn't miss it. So this afternoon I thought let me go and try out this burger of theirs........ Wow I was taken back to the old days when Burgers were Burgers. The Smash Burger (Double layers) with Chips and Pulled Oyster Mushrooms made this incredible and memorable. Actually this is the 1st time in so many years that I've even enjoyed such a Burger that was this delicious. Trust me, if you love your Burgers give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

    What happens when your friends decide on the brunch spot? A total miss! Having had a brunch experience the whole egg avo toast salmon before and didn’t like the bread, I’ve decided to pick the vegetables salad. I love all vegetables and they did come cooked nicely. I ate everything except the potatoes, not a fan. What I did not like is the sogginess - they weren’t roasted and tasted more like soggy boiled with some brown watery soup. The egg tasted boiled and I had 1 slice (maybe) worth of salmon for 4.5£ - what a rip off. The best out of this mess (good vegetables if it was lunch at my house) My friends had the chicken Sando which looked and tasted like a chicken burger with fries and the others vegetarian brunch - which none of them enjoyed but ate it anyway, it wasn’t bad but won’t be coming here again. The coffees are always great at grind and we had a selection - chalk coffee, americano and few frappes. If you want an Aussie experience you’re in the wrong noisy brunch bar.

    Grind Breakfast (English breakfast) is a 6.5/10 fry up. Good sausages. Good eggs. Good bread. OK beans. OK hash brown, Bad bacon that is 98% pure fat.

  • 5/5 Adam Z. 2 years ago on Google
    India was such lovely server she was a whiz on the floor and never left us waiting. She was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. With such a lengthy and tasty menu we were a bit lost but India helped us to navigate it and order multiple rounds of wonderful cocktails entirely to our individual taste. Honestly could not wish for a better waitress. However much you're paying her isn't enough.

    I came to the London Bridge branch and me and my friend were served by Evie and she was amazing ! Attentive, kind, and enjoyable. She made this experience for us. Will DEFINITELY be coming back because of her. Food was also 10/10 would highly recommend coming here. Thank you for a great evening

  • 5/5 Alessandro B. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place to eat or just to have a coffee (as I did) just by London Bridge. Great location and atmosphere inside. It was the first time for me trying the Grind coffee, and I have to say it's very good. Also the staff was very kind, I'll definitely pop in again if around London Bridge.

  • 2/5 Arielle J. 2 years ago on Google
    Music is extremely loud so you spend your time shouting, and honestly the food was just ok. However, staff was really nice and helpful.

  • 4/5 Jacques C. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely breakfast and coffee - good value for a sit-down. Music a bit too loud and service a a little slow but staff were friendly and helpful

  • 5/5 R. R. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice pancakes. Very big portion. No chance I could finish it. The whipped cream was perfect and the pancakes fluffy and slightly crisp on the edges. The strawberry juice was delicious as well.

  • 5/5 John “Alex” B. 1 year ago on Google
    Wife and I were in town for the weekend traveling. We stopped in based off recommendations from a YouTube video. Not expecting much, but wow we were blown away. Fantastic service. Great food, and coffee. Good vibes.

  • 5/5 Harvey S. 1 year ago on Google
    We came for coffee and abit of brunch on a Sunday morning, it was a little bit busy but very enjoyable! They had lots on the menu, we went for the Breakfast Burrito wrap, the Pancakes and porridge. Ofcourse we couldn’t fault any of the food! It came quick and fresh! Definitely worth visiting any of the Grind places

  • 5/5 raphael m. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Susan X. 2 years ago on Google
    Lively bar very close to London Bridge station. The staff were great and friendly. They offered us a slightly larger table when our group arrived as we were originally sat on a four person table when we had a group of five. Food and alcohol was a bit pricier than usual spots in London.

  • 5/5 Ivory P. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved my experience! The food was so tasty ( Goat cheese balls and sweet potato cakes). Our server Indie was also super sweet and recommended some great local places to check out.

  • 5/5 Greg C. 2 years ago on Google
    Probably a better vegan breakfast than Mildred's Soho by a smidgen. Super vibe with contemporary beats and friendly staff make for a great atmosphere. Highly recommended for cocktails 🍸 too. To top it all off Grind are dog 🐕 friendly 👏👏👏

  • 5/5 Artem M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice music, good food and coffee- great place for a breakfast during the heatwave. We had a special dietary request for our food which was accepted but not actually fulfilled, but quickly remediated with a replacement meal and an apology. Very polite staff and good service

  • 1/5 Jay E. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Incredibly disappointing and underwhelming experience. I first came to Grind, London Bridge in 2022 and was blown away by the excellent quality of breakfast. I loved it, so much so that I bragged about it to people as being the best breakfast in London! Today - 1 year later - I took my girlfriend for the Grind breakfast. Expecting everything to be just as good as the way I experienced it last year. However, I couldn’t have been more wrong… This is arguably the worst English breakfast I’ve ever had. Rather than traditional baked beans, you are served butter beans in a tomato based sauce - ghastly. Toast was damp and tasteless. Bacon was borderline undercooked and there was more fat than meat. Pretty much inedible. White pudding was overcooked and hard. ‘Hash browns’ had about as much taste as cardboard. I have no idea why they have started to serve a plain avocado with the breakfast - awful addition. Mushrooms were slimy and tasteless. The food was all room temperature and had clearly been sat out after it had been cooked. As far as atmosphere is concerned, you would have a more relaxing meal in the middle of King’s Cross station in rush hour… Credit where credit is due, the coffee is good and the sausage they serve is amazing but since the last I went they give you one less (gone from getting 2 to just 1). Orange juice is very nice and fresh. Staff are tentative enough, can’t complain about the service. Overall for a whopping £26 per person - this is daylight robbery. It’s safe to say I won’t be returning and most certainly no longer be recommending the Grind breakfast to anyone. Rubbish.

    We came for a Sunday breakfast, the food was really nice. The place has a chill vibe with good service. Emily, our waitress, was so helpful and friend. Would come again!

    Highly recommend this restaurant in London Bridge. Always coming here for a food and drinks. All the staff team are very friendly and welcoming, you could feel festive ambiance here all the time. This place serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and delicious dessert. Tiramisu is a must to try. I want to say special thank you to Abdou, for making our visit pleasant and unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back and have again this wonderful experience!
