About Grind
Grind is a coffee shop on Market Street inside Spitalfields Market, at the Commercial St entrance next to American Vintage. It runs on a walk-in basis with no reservations. The counter covers the standard espresso range alongside a matcha selection that spans oat milk matcha, matcha with condensed milk, vanilla syrup matcha, and strawberry cloud matcha. An oat flat white and iced options, including iced americano and iced decaf, round out the cold drinks. The cappuccino is a frequent order among regulars. The menu also rotates in seasonal additions, such as a pistachio drink and a summer drink, alongside the standing lineup. Given its position at a market entrance, the shop can see busy periods at certain hours.

Customer Review Summary
The cappuccino draws the most repeated praise, described by regulars as rich, smooth, and topped with perfectly textured foam. Close behind are the oat flat white, praised for its latte art and energy boost, and a matcha with condensed milk that one reviewer likened to birthday cake. Several also single out an iced decaf as the best they've had. Not every drink lands as well: one reviewer found a new pistachio drink overloaded with cream and milk, tasting of no coffee at all, and paired with an iced americano so weak it resembled flavored water. Another found a vanilla oat milk matcha lacking real matcha flavor, though they said they'd return to try a plain version. A separate reviewer notes that a strawberry cloud matcha comes out watered down and missing its cloud depending on which staff member prepares it. Throughout, staff are repeatedly described as patient and welcoming, with one barista taking time during a busy rush to walk a customer through new menu items.

“The new pistachio drink was unfortunately disgusting. Absolute overdose of cream & milk, so no coffee could be tasted and it looked nothing like the promotional pictures. An iced americano was also purchased and equally was so weak, it could’ve been flavored water. Disappointing and overpriced.”
