Grind Coffee Bar

Absolutely fantastic coffee, breakfasts and Anzac biscuits. Worth going out of your way, even just to get a take out coffee. My favourite coffee in South West London.
Can be busy particularly on Sunday mornings, though I’ve only ever had to wait about 10 mins for a table.

A cute little neighbourhood brunch spot in Putney! My pals and I, a little worse for wear, rocked up for Sunday brunch at around 1pm and had no problem getting a table. Looks tiny from the outside but don’t be deceived — it goes way back!
Breakfasts were really generous portions — te avocado toast came with bacon, and the customisable egg dish was huge! With 2 slices of bread with every meal, we were definitely satisfied.
They roast their own coffee too, so I definitely had to try that. A long black of their caveman espresso blend was nice — a touch bitter on the aftertaste, so perhaps more of a milk blend. Their filter of the day was a Kenyan — really nice, and a bargain at £1.80!
Service was lovely, if a little inattentive at times, but they were very busy so I’m not too worried. A lovely neighbourhood spot I would frequent if I lived here!

Dans le quartier de Putney pour un mariage au London Rowing Club, j’ai profité de la terrasse de ce petit café à deux pas de la Tamise. Le Latte était parfait, et l’americano de M. B était bon aussi. Juste, le Banana Bread était bon mais rien d’extraordinaire.
Au final: Chouette ambiance à l’intérieur, terrasse très chouette en plein coeur de ce si joli quartier, café hyper réussi, what else ?!

One of my favourite locals in putney with real antipodean feel. Great coffee which never fails to disappoint and a solid brunch menu as well!

If the only things I could consume until I die were their coffee and the blueberry poppyseed loaf cake, I would consider my life well-​lived and utility-​maximised.

Discovered this great little place today and I’m a huge fan. Excellent quality coffee and food and this place has an amazing buzz to it — quiet but fairly busy making a great setting for groups and lone coffee lovers alike.
I had an amazing burger which came with a tonne of options — sweet potato chips, avocado, bacon, cheese– and the coffee is brilliant too. Best lunch I’ve experienced so far in the Putney area.

Great combination of fresh coffee well prepared and food which will satisfy even the most diverse group

I almost don’t want to review this place, so that no one else finds out about it. But the staff deserve to get rich and famous, so.
Excellent food, friendly and warm service, and the cherry on top — great space, all brick wall and well designed modern extension. A fantastic sunday experience.

Are you an expat in search of the perfect coffee in Putney? Your search is over.
We stopped in for a coffee and a quick bite to eat. The coffee is sensational.
My trim latte was absolute heaven after having so many indifferent tasting «coffees». Their muffins are huge! We had the muffin of the day, banana chocolate and a walnut and it was amazing!
With L&P, a Dick Frizzell in the corner this place will cheer up even the most home sick kiwi! If only they had jet planes this would be a 10 out of 5 stars!

Good coffee. Service is TERRIBLE. Really let’s the place down. Could be an amazing place.

Grind Coffee Bar in Putney is the perfect place for a relaxed lunch on a busy day. It is a really nice little place that offers decent coffee and a range of sweet and savoury treats.
One of the things I liked most at Grind Coffee Bar were the big windows. This makes this place a very light coffee shop, quite good if you want to read something and enjoy a great coffee.
My coffee tasted really good, my savoury scone was delicious and the strawberry and something muffin was one of the best muffins I ever had. Fair enough, it is probably always easy to win me over with strawberries…
Altogether, since I moved offices to Putney, I enjoyed my lunch break never more than at Grind Coffee Bar. If you work or live in the area and like a good coffee, Grind Coffee Bar is definitely a place you should check out!

I wish there are more places like this everywhere in London. I don’t discriminate against places like Nero or Costa especially when you’re in parts of the city where there isn’t much around — they offer pretty standard, know what to expect coffee. Grind is a real hidden gem amongst the lower richmond st locals as I didn’t know about this place until I had a working meeting here with one of my colleagues that live close to this place. The place isn’t big but if you want to curl up with your laptop (free wi-​fi), there are also power plugs against the walls.
The highlight of this place for me was the goats cheese and red onion chutney sandwich. It’s so good that I tried to recreate it at home and it is amazing.

Ever since pointy shoes went out of style, I’ve had a real tough time getting a decent cup of coffee in London. Grind has come to my rescue.
See, I’m a skinny, angular, Dickensian-​looking chap, so pointy shoes really work for me. When they were in a few years back, I greedily filled my closet with them. Then when i fancied a coffee, I’d pull on a pair and trot off down to one of the achingly hip establishments you have to visit to get proper coffee in this town. I’d lounge about with all the other pointily-​shod customers and staff, and we’d silently congratulate each other on our exquisite footmanship.
No drama.
But then — what, two years ago? — I walked into my local to find it full of round-​toed brogues, Doc Martens and judgement. No more able to carry off round toes than Tom Cruise can carry off flats, I was doomed to wander the streets of London looking for a place that would accept the likes of me. Somewhere that made a competent flat white without being too cool for school.
Grind is that place.
It’s in staid, meat-​and-​three-​veg Putney. It’s patronised by yummy mummies and their outsize bugaboos. Some of the staff aren’t even antipodean (at least I think they aren’t — they don’t have neck-​tattoos or fixies, which is how I nrmally tell). It is London’s first truly uncool decent coffee shop.
And that’s what’s great about it. Not just because it means I can wear my pointy shoes without attracting sneers, but because of what it means: proper coffee is going mainstream. Soon, you’ll be able to get it anywhere. Burnt milk, over-​extracted espresso and bucket-​sized cups will all be bad memories, like Love Thy Neighbour, myspace and Oasis.
Also, a flat white is £2 (it’s £2.50 in Soho.) Can’t argue with that.

Putney has a Grind. I’m thinking that it has nothing to do with Shoreditch’s Grind, partly because Shoreditch wouldn’t be seen dead full of mummies with pushchairs and a myriad of Sebastians.
Still… this is Putney’s first stab at fancy fucking coffee and ciabatta-​based sandwiches. Coffee and sandwiches that takes 5 minutes wait before you can have them. Great tasting but expensive.
How do you reconcile paying well over 2 quid for a smallish cup of coffee?
Is it because they have a… «La Marzocco Strada MP with 3M Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration» ?? ooooooooOOOO!
Or is it the «Anfim Super Caimano Grinder with Digital Timer»
Here that gang, a DIGITAL timer! The future is here, pass me my jetpack I need another flat white with a fern-​leaf pattern on top.
