Landed from a long flight and wanted to get a matcha latte... found this spot on Yelp and decided to try it out. Glad I did because not only did they have matcha latte with oak milk, it came not already sweetened which I appreciated and also had Press juices you can get to go. One thing to note is that it is small inside so you might have to wait a little outside depending on how long the line is but will go pretty quickly. read more

Really nice staff and good decaf coffee. I love that their pods are sustainable too! They also have cute tins for gifting and I usually grab these for my friends in the States. They also do matcha specials sometimes which is fab! read more

Great coffee made quickly, hard to go wrong for what it is. Service was good. Seating is limited, so this is better for a grab and go at most times of day. read more

Lovely small cafe to grab coffee while shopping / walking in the area. The cappuccino and hot chocolate was yumm. Hit the spot !

Now this is great coffee! And the staff are amazing! Simple coffee nice people and cool customers, what more do you want from a coffee shop? I was just in queue at flat iron next door and went in for a cup. read more

The coffee here is absolutely delicious. A very small shop with limited seating, I would recommend your order to go. The staff and baristas were super friendly and down to business as they were cranking orders. A variety of coffee, espresso, and tea options they are sure to cater to your taste. I ordered a small mocha light on the mocha syrup and it was divine, best described as an adult hit chocolate, the ratio of coffee to chocolate was perfect and not overwhelmingly sweet or overpowering. My husband guzzled his iced latte. Two very happy customers and we will definitely be back. read more

If I could time travel I would go back to when I worked on Beak Street and take Soho Grind back with me! Simply the best coffee, and don't even get me started on their iced coffee ... not normally a fan, but theirs is made from proper strong coffee with optional syrup served on the side. I will be eternally grateful to the friend who introduced me to these. Can't wait for an excuse to return and hang out in the downstairs bar area. read more

Thanks to Yelp for directing us to a great spot. This was a coffee shop (and bar!) I could imagine staying in for a long time. The flat white was delicious, and the great music (house, progressive) was great to get our groove on. The space is a bit narrow, so it sometimes got awkward when other people were at the cashier since we were sitting across from it, but I think any other spot in the house would be great. I didn't take a peak downstairs, but there's a bar downstairs that also sells alcoholic drinks. read more

Coffee shops are everywhere in London now, it's hard to escape them and especially in Soho where there's one in practically every corner and small nook you can find. I'm no coffee connoisseur either, so as long as my coffee is good I don't really pay a huge amount of attention as to where it's from or what special caramel notes their beans have today! For me, Soho Grind stood out because it didn't try too hard. I went in, ordered a flat white and an egg custard tart and that was it. Nothing in my face trying to get me to try a special cold brew, and a small selection of wines and food that looked genuinely appealing. The coffee was definitely on the upper end of my top coffees in London, and the egg tart was creamy, sweet and delicious. Flakes for all yay!! I know there's a cocktail bar underneath which I've yet to visit, but it's definitely on my hit list now and I'll update when I've been back! read more

Not my favorite americano in the city but gave it a middle of the road review because it's a fun shop, good location, and the Batista's are friendly. Think I may have caught someone off guard or someone in training, it happens. read more

Great spot for a quick caffeine fix and/or freshly pressed juice. Not a lot of seats on the main floor, but there are some spots downstairs. WiFi was a bit spotty. read more

Definitely up there with the best coffee in London. It's quite strong, but they do a great latte and the atmosphere is great fun. It's always one of my first stops with Aussie guests looking for a good flat white. Conveniently located in the centre of soho and not far from Oxford Street, this is my go-to inner city caffeine stop. It's only small, so not really convenient for a brunch with several friends and the downstairs bar is a little dingy, but for a quick coffee with one friend, or a takeaway, it's perfect! read more

Nice relaxed cafe, though not much space. The coffee is ideal for my tastes - good flavour and not too bitter. Prices are reasonable for central London/Soho And my almond croissant also contains chocolate! That was a very welcome surprise. read more

Soho Grind makes me happy. Not so much the coffee, which it must be said is perfectly decent and fairly-priced. No, I'm more a fan of its fantastic 1970s rock soundtrack and cosy bar downstairs. Said downstairs bar is softy-lit, with candles and retro-filament bulbs. There are even plenty of wall sockets for laptop users. Prudes may wish to avert their eyes as the decorations are slightly Soho, with a mass of nude photographs adorning the walls. The bonus is the excellent sound system and consistently awesome 1970s rock soundtrack, with the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Free, The Who pouring out of the speakers when we were there. We definitely stayed for quite a bit longer than we otherwise would have as a result, lapping it al up. For those interested, the coffee is Espresso-only, and their own brand. Pricing is the usual e.g. £2.70 for a flat white, a little less for a latte etc. Good quality and well made too. They also serve beer, cocktails and food, none of which we tried. My abiding memory of Soho Grind is the downstairs bar though, which is what I'd return for. read more

I usually grab a coffee and a custard tart from here in the morning. The coffee is strong, bitter, and delicious. I've had friends who find it a bit too bitter, but I like my coffee strong, so this works for me. On this particular occasion I went with a couple of friends after work for some drinks and chat. The downstairs bar is relatively quiet during the week if you head directly there round 6ish. I've been here before for drinks and never had to order food, but it would appear they have got more strict on this policy. This is ok though, as they offer a great selection of bruschetta and meat platters, all which go well with beer and wine! The atmosphere is really laid back, and the service very attentive. You're also still able to order delicious coffees and hot chocolates while you're down there should you fancy it. Bonus! read more

It's not the cheapest coffee shop, but damn the quality is pretty special! I paid £3.30 for an almond flattie, which is a little on the expensive side, but tasted delicious. This definitely my go to coffee place when I'm in soho. Plus it's super chilled, so you fan actually get a fair amount of work done downstairs while you're here. If you're going later on in the day, you absolutely MUST order the espresso martini!! I wanna describe how amazing it is, but when you'll know it, easily one of London's best! read more

I have yet to try the boozy offerings that Alex S. touts as tasty, but I've been through here for coffee several times, always around 7:30am. I'm a morning lark by necessity rather than by free will and this little place happens to be on my walk to the bus stop, and who can resist the cosy, warm-wood interior? It's definitely a cute, welcoming place. I've found the staff to be uniformly friendly and attitude-free, which is great. Like several other places, the morning crew really cranks up the music to get themselves going, and I find it a bit much when I'm still half-groggy, but that's totally a matter of personal preference and has no bearing on my rating. The upstairs coffee bar area is very snug; you can perch at the window counter and down your drink, but there's nowhere to, say, sit down to check a few e-mails on your laptop unless you're using something truly dinky. Even then, people will be practically on top of you, so let's just write it off as the sort of place you can linger and consider it more a grab-and-go joint. As for the coffee, it's always expertly-made, but I just don't dig their espresso. From the flavour profile, it's very heavy on Ethiopian beans, so if you like a very bright, very citrusy, very clean espresso with a thin body, this is for you. I like South American beans in my espresso with more subdued, warmer, nutty tones and a fuller body, but I seem to be sort of alone in this. (I'm ironically a huge fan of Ethiopian coffee in the French press, but I find it far too "sour" in milk-based drinks.) I certainly can't fault the execution, though. My two-stars-off gripe is the price; my morning drink is a soya flat white, and usually that's around £2.50-£2.80 in Soho. Here, that runs me £3.20. A flat white is a tiny drink; paying that much for it just feels extortionate, and while I get why places charge extra for soya, it rubs me the wrong way. I assure you, I'd rather not have to settle for soy either, guys. No need to fine me for it. I prefer their soya to Fernandez & Welles', but since I don't love their espresso, I find the price hike difficult to stomach. Non-soya drink prices are in line with other local establishments. As an aside, like so many places in London, the layout here is not accessible to anyone with mobility concerns. It's particularly important to note that the tunnel-like layout of the bar and counter areas would make it difficult not just for a wheelchair user but for anyone using canes or crutches, and there is very little space for a pram. read more

Another great find of London Cocktail Week. My friend is a big fan of espresso martinis and familiar with the other branches of this chain, but who knew that Soho Grind was so great for cocktails and even has a nice bar downstairs?? The upstairs part looks like a normal small coffee shop, with a few stools along the wall but not much room for maneuver. There were some snacks available at the counter, and even a block of what looked like prosciutto. We originally ordered our drinks at the counter here, but a waitress brought them up from the bar downstairs, and eventually we wandered down and found a lovely cozy little area and 4 spare seats at the bar. The room probably only seats about 12-15 people, but on Saturday night it was not packed by any means, and it is a type of place where you would go catch up with 2-3 friends, and probably move on if there are no available seats. The espresso martini was delicious and my friends went on to order the flat white Russians and a fruity cocktail, which were also very well received. I stuck to the espresso martini, which was so strong on the caffeine that it had me buzzing. They have about 7-8 options on the cocktail menu, and it also appears to have several lunch/dinner options so I guess they have a full kitchen as well. So happy with this find and would love to come here again. read more

The number of indie coffee shops in the Central London area has seemed to have a big of a boom, and this place - part of one of my favorite chains - popped up recently. The staff are always happy to have a chat with you while making your coffee, super friendly and pretty darn cute! Follow the neon lighting down the stairs into the coolest, fairly snug, bar. You have to order food in order to purchase drinks, but they do a great range of tapas style snacks that are great for sharing. If you pick up a black loyalty card from the coffee shop upstairs, they do a special deal certain nights of the week with all cocktails for a fiver! Bargain! read more

Decent coffee. Basement sitting area slightly claustrophobic due to no natural light. Very loud music - felt like a speakeasy-type bar, but with no alcohol. Depends on what you want I guess in a coffee bar! Nothing special here for me. read more

Popped into this little establishment on a recommendation from a friend - 'best cocktails in London'. Whilst the cocktails were indeed tasty and beautifully presented (I tried the velveteen rabbit) the cheese platter we ordered was disappointing and took an age to arrive, this might not have mattered if we were not ravenous!! Bar staff were friendly and the vibe was fun once we'd squeezed ourselves into a seat in the corner (tiny but intimate venue). read more

Finished work early and 'Yelped' nearby coffee....these guys popped up. Tiny store down the back of Carnaby St / Soho Ordered a flat white and ham and cheese roll. Nothing fancy, but oh my what a delicious coffee and who knew such a humble sandwhich choice could be so good. Easily the best I've ever had Only reason for no 5th star is me being picky and due to the space upstairs seating is all bar stools which are no good for my poor spine, but I shall return and check out the downstairs area read more

I popped in in the morning to grab a flat white. It's was probably around 250ml, smaller that what you get somewhere like Costa. It was quite good and strong and I enjoyed it. Definitely prefer Soho Grind over the larger shops nearby. Sad I didn't get to stop by late night for a beer. read more

Awesome staff and very good coffee. The barista was super cool showing my son how the espresso machine worked.

Great music taste, delicious coffee and very nice staff. It's a bit small for hanging around with friends, but the bar sitting area is good enough for a little chat and enjoying tasty cappuccino with one or two friends. read more

Found this place today out walking, what a great thing they have going Super friendly service from the staff I had a chai tea latte, delicious as well as the hummus with pita and my girlfriend had the quinoa salad Portions were huge, the food came out quickly enough, all in all a great experience They are located in a great spot, close to other trendy happenings, short walk from Trafalgar Square read more

Latte is excellent and the location is super cool. I also had an almond Croissant but it was stale :(

Such a cute spot located in a great part of the Canbary/Soho neighborhood! I was searching for a solid latte in London and this place delivered. Great service as well. read more

This place have the town flavour, there coffee is definitely difference and much much better than big brands coffee.

I wanted an independent coffee shop in Soho, so did a search on yelp and came across Soho Grind. What an amazing find. I came here for a catch up with a friend during the day and it was amazing, the space downstairs is cosy and quiet enough to have a good catch up with no disturbances. The coffee was proper coffee, none of this chain store stuff. Really bitter but I loved it, they also has soya milk which I loved as I am dairy intolerant so can't always find a independent coffee shop that serves soya or alternative dairy free milk. That's a big win for me. We didn't eat anything but if I am in the area I wil come back here!! read more

There is a downstairs area is offering booze. I like this in a coffee shop. The coffee is also not bad.

Sooo this is why I wish I lived in London, a coffee shop that is known to do great coffee, seriously good music (if you are looking for peace and quiet this isnt for you) staff that are outgoing and friendly. I didn't have a coffee this time but had an espresso martini which was delicious!! They have a bar downstairs that opens at 4:30 make sure to try this place out. read more

Love this spot. Strong, creamy espresso - just how I like it! Cute spot with a nice industrial vibe. A bit tight on seating....I wish there were more non bar spots. When going for just a coffee, it's not super cosy. But free WiFi and their pastries looked fab. Looking forward to going back for an espresso martini! read more

I came across this on a very cold Sunday by means of the wonderful Yelp app. I needed a coffee badly and the other options were packed out with similar coffee needing persons. Soho grind is an eclectic and individual space, with utterly brilliant coffee (see Alex's superior review below). They also do these very small cakes and pastries which were incredibly moorish- sadly I can't recall the names. Three fitted comfortably on one saucer. We sat downstairs which is distinctly cool, with b & w photos and a long wall table with stools perfect if the other tables are taken. The music was a tad loud but I liked what they played. Very recommemded when faced with a sea of "Costabucks" clones. read more

good place for quick breakfast or brunch on the way to work, fine pour over options , price is good

I've never even had coffee here but I love coming to this place for a cocktail and sitting at the upstairs bar. I love a coffee shop that turns into a bar at night and this place has that we-turned-the-lights-down-at-the-diner feel. They always give you some sort of nibble on the house, drinks are good, music is a funky mix. It's never been too crowded at all when I've been there in the evenings. read more

I like the decor of Soho Grind and the ambience is truly great but the coffee doesn't quite hit the mark with me. I would happilly go again... but try another beverage I'm afraid read more
