I adore this place for all of its cocktail magic. Also great for meeting up with friends for a catch up and/or desserts anytime of day.

Perched at the crossroads like a dust-covered drifter with an illy cup is his hand is the best coffee in Old Street. Five star brew at the roundabout? Yep. I admit that I'm shootin' from the hip on this one, and am likely to put someone's eye out, but they are simply the finest grind in this area. The drinks and food, albeit limited, are great- definitely try the raspberry muffins.There is also plenty of table and bar seating and friendly chatter. With a relaxed atmosphere, good music, and free wifi, it's easy to forget what's just outside the panoramic windows. They're my local caffeine connection of choice, so I'm biased, but The Grind is one of the rare jewels in the roundabout crown and definitely worth a go. Cheers guys. read more

Cool cafe. Docking points because I stepped over to get a bit of work done, and the wifi was not working, so it was a trip in vain. Hate when that happens. read more

I love every single one of the 'Grinds' around London. They have found the winning formula for great coffee and a great shop to match. They seem to be popping up all over the place recently - which makes me very happy - but haven't lost their stand out, great quality of food and drink while doing so. Shoreditch is a great place for people watching, with indoor and outdoor seating right by the Brick Lane station exit, you can wile away a good few hours here. read more

The cocktail here was delicious and the atmosphere of the shop was great. It was a fun place to hang out with friends after walking around the brick lane market. I had the Maiden London which I thought was a bit pricey but it was still good. read more

Good solid neighborhood coffee spot! Eggs on toast is a tasty light breakfast. Had a cold brew and it was solid. Pastel de nata Portuguese tarts. Yum! Would go again! read more

was really unimpressed by shoreditch grind. there were at least 3 people behind the counter and between walking in and having my drink brought over, there was a good 10 minute gap. when i got my drink, it was average. lukewarm (if i'd have left it more than 5 minutes it would've been cold), not a very generous size or particularly well made (i had a hot chocolate and it tasted like it had been made using instant stuff you get at the supermarket). also, served in a little glass which i guess was meant to be quirky, but i personally like my hot drinks in mugs. genuinely would rather go to a chain coffee shop than return here (which is useful, as there's a starbucks just around the corner). read more

I do find hipsters boring, but I'll deal for a sexy flat white! Thanku grind, I love yr coffee, yr toilet, yr vibe and the toxic pollution from the roundabout! I wanna make u my local. read more

We went here twice during our time in London. You can't go wrong with the mocha, the macchiato, the green smoothie, the salmon, one pan eggs, and the avocado toast. read more

The marscapone rocket salami panini is absolutely fab. I might order a second....

Shoreditch Grind is a cute cafe/bar conveniently located just outside the Old Street tube. They serve coffee and drinks. It's a fun spot but space is limited. read more

Located right at Exit 8 of Old Street station - this is my new neighborhood locale. I feel hip just walking inside. Only good things to say. The service is quick and friendly, the coffee is delicious & the sandwiches are available hot or cold - and yummy both ways. With the warmest summer we've seen in London in a few years, you can also enjoy the outdoor seating and a cold beer. read more

Not bad. I hade Machiato and Brochette with tomato and basel. The brochttee was good but I had better. They didnt have much of baked treats to choose from when i was there. However, it has a good ambience, great music and coffee so it would be good place to meet with friends. read more

Great coffee, but the service, though friendly, was very slow and the price was very high £2.95 for a latte?? Really??

In the Old Street roundabout you will find Shoreditch Grind, a small coffee shop with a lot of originality. The coffee is good, while the limited selection of baked goods is very reasonable too. read more

Really busy, likely because of the great location and great space. As a result it was a bit slow, they didn't do filtered coffee, and the flat white was okay but didn't make an impression. Good for a meeting spot or to people watch. Ok for coffee. read more

The coffee is delicious. The food is pretty good too. The service...is hit or miss. Also...I'm all for quality coffee and having to wait for it...but this place borders on ridiculous. That doesn't stop me from going there regularly though :) read more

Best espresso Martinis ever!! But be careful one too many will have you flying!!! Also love the decor and the pastries they have in the morning so delicious. read more

Good beans, clean spot, decent food options, and gotta love supporting a local coffee shop! My small Americano was nice and a typical indie price of £1.80. And a massive bonus and good to know for hungover mornings is they have coconut water!!! read more

Cute store kitted out in typical Shoreditch fashion next to Old Street roundabout. A welcome addition to the Shoreditch scene probably not the best on offer in the area (there is some serious competition) but competently done. Service was smooth and friendly. Grinding up a mix of hipsters and suits that suggests they will be here to stay . read more

The coffee is so good I have taken to walking the three miles to work just so I have an excuse to go past it! Definitely the best coffee in London right now. It might take a little longer than you are used to but only because they are taking such care to perfect your coffee. When I get over my fear of hipsters I fully intend on spending a relaxed couple of hours there one Sunday :-) read more

The coffee here was excellent, but the place can get quite crowded. They only have the seating area indoors downstairs, which is mostly a few shared tables and then bar seating along the windows. I was able to get a seat at a table, but it definitely can get noisy and busy. During the warmer months they have a lot of shared tables outside, which is fantastic, although it is located at a busy intersection. read more

Mega good coffee In the hustle and bustle of old street. This unique little building offers a panoramic view if perhaps the ugliest roundabout in England. But don't let that put you off. Great coffee is hard to find and the food is pretty sweet too. read more

Great coffee but unfortunately too noisy for serious meetings as the music is super loud. Otherwise good.

My favorite coffee shop in London. Delicious cappuccinos and iced coffees with a great view of Old Street corner for fun people watching. What more could you ask for? read more

the coffee tastes good but it always takes to long to get, which then leaves you with a warm/cold coffee that you drink in seconds.. I think I must of waited 8 - 10 mins today for a coffee when it was pretty quiet.. I could just see all the shots lined up ready getting cold. Don't think I've ever walked out and not finished the flat white or large cappuccino at work, and I'm only a couple minutes walk up the road. good taste, great people but slow service.. read more

Nice coffee shop, very casual, but kind of loud. Yummy sandwiches and other treats. Friendly staff, friendly customers. I'd give this a 5... but seating can be tough to get. Nice outside seating when the weather permits. A must visit if you are near Old Street and need some coffee. read more

Always busy here. I can understand why people love to come here. They serve really really nice coffee. It is very worth to come over. They located just exit8 of Old street station. read more

Great Espresso. Edgy Music. Lots of hipsters. Loyalty card FTW.

Over the past two weeks at the new agency. I have been busy getting to know my colleagues and also essentially, where to hot warming beverages!! I am a big fan of a good Mocha, which is my favorite Friday treat!! The best place for coffee in Shoreditch if not London, is Shoreditch Grind, a lovely little boutique coffee place around the corner from my agency office. It has really friendly staff and a fun feel about it. The coffee is cheap but the food is very expensive, but it is very worth it. The layout is cool with a warehouse kind of feeling and there is a large variety of people; from digital types to student and then general city folk. It is always busy and has a great buzz. They have cool black card, where you buy 8 coffees and get the 9th free which sounds like a lot but it isn't if you compare it to the loyalty cards from those scammy folks at Starbucks and Costa..... it really isn't that bad. One of the founders David Abramovich a postgraduate from UCL, has definitely made his mark in the Shoreditch Scene. Support your local coffee place and join the Starbucks Boycott.

The big brother of Grinds. Situated at the roundabout. Very cool advertising at the front. Like an old cinema style and they have bespoke messaging. Brought the work guys from nearby Hoxton. Most of them new how good it was but the rookies soon found out. Great coffee and treats. One of my favourites in the city. One of the many stand outs in Shoreditch. read more

Great place for an awesome latte! Stopped in here for lunch and had the avocado salmon toast as well as the croissant, both of which was excellent. Very low key with some outdoor seating, and not too crowded on a Saturday afternoon. Service was a little slow, but the staff were very friendly and welcoming! read more

Avocado toast was great- but the Americano and iced lattes we ordered were poorly prepared and the acai bowl was very bad

For about the fifth time I was served after someone who ordered after I did, and the place was empty. These guys have a problem with expediting their drinks and the too-cool-for-shoreditch attitude makes me feel as though I'm not worth their attention. Good coffee, but lots of competition. Bye guys. read more

Shoreditch Grind has been my second home/office for the last 9 months. I can't imagine my life without it. Great coffee, delicious cocktails, good looking staff & awesome management. It doesn't get better than this. read more

I was excited to visit, but was very disappointed! Firstly, the coffee blend was very bitter and nothing like the other independents in London, the flat white I ordered was just warm and the customer service was very poor. I won't be going back unless it improves! I'd rather go to the coffee chain next door! read more

Only OK. Quality of the coffee is relatively high but served with an unfortunate level of pretension. Internet so slow that it is almost unusable. Food pretty good. read more

I was forced to go into this place with a couple of Australian friends who wanted to get coffees, but I warned them not to eat anything. The Shoreditch Grind has a food hygiene rating of 1 out of 5 - "Major Improvement Necessary". Absolutely gross. read more

looked for hours for this place its actually not in shoreditch which says it all really
