A bit about Grind:

We are a leading coffee company that has evolved significantly since opening Shoreditch Grind in 2011.

Our cafés and coffee trucks remain the heart of Grind, offering a unique and engaging environment for both customers and employees. We are committed to sustainability, implementing eco-friendly practices such as compostable coffee pods, plastic-free packaging, and carbon-free shipping.

In 2023, we established the Better Coffee Foundation to address the negative impact of the global coffee industry. In our first year, we recovered 43 million ocean-bound plastic pods.
