Specialties: Soho Grind is all day and late night Espresso Bar, with a basement space serving small plates and and cocktails in the evenings.
The first of the Grind’s, Shoreditch Grind was born when East-Londoner David Abrahamovitch enlisted his friend Kaz James, a DJ from Melbourne with a passion for coffee, to help turn his father’s mobile phone shop, a stand-alone perfectly circular building perched on the edge of Old Street Roundabout, into an Espresso Bar.
Kaz had badly missed the taste of the Melbourne cafés he’d grown up with, and was determined to re-create the taste of home. Unsatisfied with anything available in London at the time, he worked for months with a boutique roastery to develop a custom blend, and eventually, the Grind & Co. House Espresso Blend was born.
Shoreditch Grind has become something of an East London icon, and after the success of Shoreditch Grind, Soho was the natural next step for the Grind.
The third Grind, Holborn Grind, is also now open as part of the new Hoxton Hotel, Holborn. Established in 2014.

Shoreditch Grind grew quickly, in scale and reputation, and is now established as one of the busiest cafe’s in London, and something of an East-London icon. Later, the pair added a recording studio upstairs, and started opening later, serving Espresso Martinis and other cocktails and an expanded food menu.

Established in 1900. Priamo Pellicci bagan working in the cafe in 1900 and it was here that his wife Elide brought up their 7 children single handedly whilst running the cafe below to keep the family after her husbands death in 1931. Elide is the E.Pellicci who’s initial is still emblazoned in chrome upon the primrose- hued vitrolite glass fascia and her portrait remains inside the cafe, she and her husband counterbalance each other eternally on either side of the serving hatch in the cafe.
Nevio Snr.was born upstairs and he ran the cafe until he passed away in 2008. Head of the family business today is his wife Maria who has been cooking here since 1966 and possessses a natural authority and charisma that makes her a worthy successor to Elide.

Specialties: We are an independent coffee shop, deli and apéritif bar started by friends of Italian, Australian and English extraction with a shared passion for quality coffee, food and wine. We draw on a shared wealth of skills and many years of experience in hospitality and business to blend the very best of Italian and Australian café culture. We hope to become a hub for the coffee-drinkers of Fulham and a destination for London’s growing community of die-hard espresso pilgrims.
The primary focus of our business is quality (Allpress) coffee and the skill of our barista in producing rich espresso and smoothly textured milk.
Our food and drink selection emphasises freshness, simplicity and quality.
We only use the finest quality, natural ingredients and we make a big effort to use organic produce wherever feasible.
Many of our suppliers are family owned and much of our food is home-made, by or for us. Established in 2013. Opened in June 2013.
Specialties: Located inside Hay’s Galleria on the River Thames, between the Shard and Tower Bridge, our modern café is found in a unique setting. With exposed original brick walls and pillars, Café Piazza is perfect for a quiet work lunch, or time out from all that hard work of walking around sightseeing. The cafe offers something for everyone whether that be a quick bite with a glass of wine, a cup of coffee or a 3 course meal. We are open from early morning to mid-evening for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between, including your mid-morning take-away coffee. Established in 2015.
