    Smashed Avocado & Salmon and green tea
    Roger C.

    Great spot, really nice and welcoming staff. Maria was a delight serving us. Food was great. I had the asparagus and eggs, my wife had the smashed avocado and fried egg. Delish.

    If I were to open up a cafe/restaurant, I envision it looking/being very similar to Covent Garden Grind. This spot has all my favourite things in one place: cocktails, coffee, neon lights, artsy decor, and yummy food. The minute I walked into this spot, I knew I was going to love it. Pretty strong assumption to make based solely on how a restaurant looks, but what can I say? I know good vibes when I see/feel them. And, I was feeling all the good vibes the minute I walked in here. The patio and top floor were super busy, so we opted for sitting downstairs where there was absolutely no one. We didn't mind at all. We got a big comfy booth to ourselves! Everything on their menu looked delicious, but we kept it simple and opted for a hummus and pita platter. Other things that caught my eye though: chorizo & smoked cheese croquettes, smashed avo toast w/ poached egg & chili flakes, sweet potato hariska cakes, and the fried chicken sandwich. As for drinks, they have your good ol' coffee options, but they also have cocktails. My friend opted for the mojito, while I got the espresso martini. Coffee cocktail, why not? Their fruity and detox cocktails looked quite good. I'm bummed I didn't have more time in London to stay and drink here, because honestly, all the options looked fab. Everything from the food, the drinks, the decor, and down to the service was fantastic. If I ever move to London, I want to find an apartment right next to here just so I can frequent this spot. I loved it that much.

    Avocado smash

    Excellent Avocado smash! Actually the best I think I've ever had. This, coming from someone who eats avocado toast almost daily whilst at home. They've done it right. Such a darling little coffee house off the beaten path in Covent Garden. Super cute. Worth it to find.

    Notics the large mushrooms, eggplant (aubergine), and spinach.

    The full vegetarian breakfast is excellent with eggplant (aubergine), large mushrooms, and spinach in addition to the usual British assortment and high quality in the ingredients, plus the eggs are perfectly prepared. Sylwia and the other staff are consistently helpful. If I lived in London full time then I would go here a lot more often especially during the morning.

    We spent two weeks in London and had breakfast in several places, but this was one of our favorites. You have to try the Sweet potato harissa cakes, poached egg. I added bacon and it was really good. Avocado toast was also a great option.

    Yessss this place is spot on! It's located in central, central London and is the new addition to the Grind family and damn did they do a good job! Gone are the bad service everyone complains of in the London Bridge one, and in its place is the friendliest staff who go the extra mile to make sure your time there is just great! Coffee wise, I was lucky enough to go on the free coffee day and so I tried a few different ones on the menu! I got the almond milk flat white which was simply sensational. The right mix of coffee and milk, which was sweet but not too sweet - literally try it and it'll be the best decision you ever made! I also got a almond flat white, which was similarly good and the perfect warming winter drink. I was offered a third by the delightful server, who was keen to make sure everyone had their coffee fix, but I politely declined. Didn't wanna go coffee crazy and get tooooo hyped up. I thought this was a nice touch because a lot of time if it's a giveaway, the coffee wouldn't be so free flowing, so big thumbs up for this! Food wise, I couldn't resist grabbing some breakfast while I was there. I went for the smashed avocado on toast with a topping of poached egg. Oh my word, it was simply superb! The yoke just oozed out, when I cut through the egg! Yoketastic! Highly recommend ordering it and the best you can say how you want your eggs - fried, scrambled, poached - totally up to you! All in all - the coffee is great, service is 5 star and there's so much seating you're never gonna wanna leave!

    Very good cappuccinos and great service! Everyone was helpful and kind. Recommend it if you want to grab a quick bite.

    -_____- . I'm gonna be real, the matcha drink that I had here tastes way better than more than half…read moreof the matcha drinks that I've had back home in California LOL. I had the iced matcha cloud with raspberry syrup. Quality matcha powder used *and* the added fruit sweetener (raspberry here) is subtle but still tasteful actually complementing well with the matcha (unlike fruit sweetener that tastes like straight jam overpowering the whole drink.....). A matcha drink that actually makes sense lol. I also tried the iced Japanese cold brew. Pretty strong in brew taste but still smooth! Polite barista. Low-key, chill vibes at the cafe on a Monday late afternoon. Definitely a nice spot for a pick-me-up drink while venturing London. :)

    We've gone here twice now and both times have been pretty great! We really enjoy their croissants…read moresandwich. The one we have had has a delicious and flaky seeded croissant and it has a really nice portion of cream cheese and prosciutto and arugula. It's really savory. I ordered a latte on both visits. The art on it is very nice, but it also tastes as good as it looks! It's smooth and creamy and the perfect temperature to enjoy it right away. The cappuccino my brother ordered also looked pretty good. The staff working here are really friendly and welcoming as well. She was very attentive and asked us if everything was good and if we needed anything else. Unfortunately, we're just visiting the country, but would definitely love to come back to this cafe in the future!

    So my mother and I ate at a lot of eateries while we were in London last year. Only Bloomsbury Cafe…read moreleft us declaring defeat: we just couldn't finish our meals here. Their servings are HUGE, and are so affordable too! I left wishing my mother and I had the ability to save our leftovers for later, because we hated wasting any of the delicious food that we ordered. Even before we got our food we were pretty excited. When you walk in you're greeted here with a beautiful sight: fresh sandwiches, bread, and pastries, all on display right at their main counter. Once we were seated I noticed little flower pots line the window, too. Fresh food and flowers - what more can you ask from a cafe for a first impression? We also loved the owner and his wife: they were very kind and they constantly kept us up to date on our food order, just to mention what was done and what they still needed to do or cook. They clearly work hard to provide fresh fast meals - and we learned quickly as people came in and out of the place that takeaway is available here. But we wanted to enjoy a sit down meal, and enjoy we did! I started mine with fresh squeezed juice - we're talking so fresh you'll want to add sugar to it if you're used to the juice that comes in stores. And when our English breakfasts came out? Just, wonderful. My mother and I each received SO much food. Both meals came with amazing buttered bread (like, I would have happily eaten an entire plate of bread and only bread), hash browns so fresh that they may as well have given us the original potatoes (yum), and what I can really only describe as a mountain of beans, eggs, and meat (well, on mine anyway - not so much on my mother's vegetarian breakfast order). All of it absolutely delicious, and every single bite made me smile wider and wider. Definitely walk on in if you're near this little shop. Don't be afraid to order one meal and share it if there's only two of you, either - you'll likely both leave well fed, and you can always order a little more food if you want too from that great looking counter of theirs...
