I have left the UK now, but I feel like I'd regret it if I didn't write a review for this place😼. I came to London alone to study a major I wasn't good at, it was quite painful. Thankfully, I met this coffee shop🥲.
Every staff member is so warm, the Spanish latte is delicious, the almond croissant is tasty, and the location is super convenient.
My first visit was a bit awkward because my English wasn't great, and I couldn't understand what the staff were saying to me haha. But thankfully, I didn't let that awkwardness make me miss out on this place 🫢
Because honestly, during my hardest month of August, what kept me going to school every day for experiments and writing thesis papers, helping me get through that hardest month was here 🥲
My most familiar staff member is Ethan. Every time I walk in, he always greets me warmly. Even though we usually only exchange a few words when I order, but I'm always impressed by his enthusiasm and energy. 🥺 Sometimes I feel very tired, but when I sit in here and drink coffee while waiting for the bus, hearing him say hello to other customers gives me a little boost. (I always order the same coffee, but I think his is the best! ). The last time I saw Ethan before leaving the UK, I told him how grateful I was. He said, “You made my day,” but what I really wanted to say was, “You made my whole summer.” 🥺 Without Ethan and the other friendly staff giving me warmth during those two minutes of ordering coffee each day, I doubt I could have finished my studies with my terrible mindset.
I never thought I'd feel so much of a connection to a country I only lived in for a year, but now I'm really going to miss London because of Grind in Greenwich and its warm staff. I hope one day I'll have the chance to return to this city and have ice Spanish latte again☕️
