Shoreditch Grind

Who cares what the coffee is like. It's got to be one of the best places for people watching in London. -Londonist

The best place in London for an interesting conversation with a random stranger over coffee, tea, beers, or a cocktail! -Emelia

Awesome coffee, despite the slightly slow service and grumpy hipster staff. Maybe just the day I went in. -Sam

Its coffee is organic and blended in-house; its light bites come in the form of Italian/Australian nibbles made fresh daily; and music is at its beating heart. -AskMen

Flat White is delicious and strong! Plus you can open a tab at grind now and get between 10-25% off your coffee! Brilliant. -Abdul

Great little place for short black or a working lunch. The rarely gets over-crowded and the staff are pretty cool. -Chimski

Incredibly friendly staff and tasty drinks. Try the Hot Flat White Russian! -Allie

Almond croissants are the biz. Do it!! -Howard

Bad service. Average coffee. If you just want to take away, go Giddy Up outside floripa. Coffee is cheaper, tastes better and the staff are really friendly. -Alice

Seriously great coffee, but also the best Espresso Martinis in town. Don't forget to try the Hot Flat White Russian (looks innocent, tastes naughty). There's a recording studio upstairs too. -Best Bars

Lovely terrace, Wifi, great coffee and awesome muffins...But don't order to take away if you are in a rush. -Ignacio

Must be the biggest concentration of hipsters per square meter in London, :D. Also, not many coffee shops know how to make americano/long black correctly. This is not the case, here. -Андрей Тимофеев

They kind of care about coffee (though you can get much better in east London), but they don't give a shit about service. Don't give them your money. -Sitar

Flat white and a croissant, great start to a Sunday. -Bryan

Great coffee, especially the Americano for £1.70 -Spotted by Locals - city guides by locals

😍😍😍 one of my fave place! -🌸Noodle

The guys here do a great flat white. Just what I need on those days I need a boost before work! ☕️ -Bboy

They serve amazing coffee-based cocktails, including Espresso Martinis and White Russians in the evening - one of the best I've ever tasted! -Ieva

Without doubt the best coffee in East London. Also amazing cocktails by night, and great tunes! -David

One of my favorite stops in Shoreditch. Try their painfully delicious 'Hot Flat White Russian' with Araku Venezuelan Rum Coffee Liquor, Flat White Milk, folded with a touch of vodka. So good! -John
