Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

Cute spot, but foodwise…meh.

Covent Garden Grind feels like that friend who’s always late to the party but manages to make it fun anyway—there's coffee and crumpets, but the food ain't winning any awards. The crumpets? Thick, fluffy, and worth the hype. But if you're looking for an extensive menu, prepare for disappointment; choices can feel as limited as a child's attention span during a history lesson. Disha Anam, the staff star, will serve you coffee with a smile, but don’t expect her to rescue the food quality.

Sure, the vibe is nice and the service friendly, but that’s not enough to drown out the average offerings. The avocado toast seems to be the standout dish, but let’s be real, it's still toast at the end of the day. If you're after a quick caffeine hit in a decent spot, it's fine. Just remember, sometimes you get what you pay for. ☕️
