Excellent for a coffee break, lunch, and doing a little work!

Adam was amazing in providing the best atmosphere & service.

Lovely little place, fair pricing but more than I thought. Their food is far more extensive!

Coffee was good, service soso, could have been friendlier.......    Would go again due to location.

Covent Garden Grind is such a cute place for casual drinks or coffee. I haven't tried their brunch yet, but their small plates are really tasty and go great with their cocktails. Two or three small plates is the perfect amount for two people to share over drinks - you are required to purchase food if you will be ordering alcohol. 

Everything is reasonably priced and the decor is spot on. Everything that I've tried here has been great. I like their hot chocolate in the mornings and the Lady Grey cocktail for the evening. Service is friendly and prompt. 

There's plenty of seating upstairs, downstairs, and on the patio. I really like to sit on the patio if the weather is nice, but I would suggest trying to get a table closest to the restaurant, rather than the street. Every time I've sat near the street, people have come up to our table every 10 minutes or so to ask for money, which makes it hard to enjoy uninterrupted conversation with your tablemates.

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.

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.

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.
