About Soho Grind
Soho Grind, on Beak Street just off Carnaby Street, is the original café of Grind, a London group that roasts its own coffee. In the daytime it serves espresso, breakfast and brunch at small tables and the counter; later in the day it serves cocktails, and it stays open into the evening. Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Circus stations are both a short walk. It works well as a meeting point before shopping on Regent Street or a night out in Soho.
