Grind Coffee Lounge - Wakefield

I came with my little sister for a bite to eat the Hawaiian and Hunters Chicken Toasties are to die for! We had a 5 minute wait before being served and a little bit of a wait for our food, which is to be expected, due to other customers waiting on food but the lady serving apologised and gave us a cake each on the house. Great service and staff! It’s a quaint little cafe perfect for grabbing some lunch or breakfast. We will be returning Thank you

Today, my friends came to visit me so we decided to grab a meal in Wakefield at Grind in the Ridings Centre. Unfortunately, the service we received was absolutely terrible from a male staff member who was extremely rude and lacked patience. My father, who is in his 80s and hard of hearing, was repeatedly shouted at for not hearing the first time. I had to translate for him as the staff member showed no understanding. When my daughter asked for a milkshake, she was met with an aggressive response asking her to quickly make a decision while he waited impatiently. The hospitality was incredibly poor, with even our friends noticing the rudeness of this staff member. The food was decent, but until this staff member learns some manners, I will not be returning to this restaurant.

Came here for lunch and have to say I was not impressed! First of all, the service was super slow, even because of the pandemic service should not be that slow! The server did apologise for the long wait which we appreciated, however for 2 sandwiches, a coffee and a milkshake should not have taken 40 mins. On the whole the food wasnt amazing, but wasnt awful either- mediocre! I was sooooooooo shocked to see that they were charging £1.65 for 2 pieces of toast and considering that a full load can cost as little as 35p I find this scandalous in the current climate!!

The panini tasked like rubber placed a complaint cos we had tried half of the sandwich we only got half the money back “ what a joke “Cake was very dryToasties was over cooked Would not recommend a visit Unless you wish to waste money

Having just been to the grind next to tkmaxx and walking out mid queue because of the manner of the bloke (large build, short black hair,receding hairline) behind the till absolutely shocking!!!! An older couple in front of me pointed to one of the cakes on offer and just asked for the slice of which he was pointing to the ignorant man proceeded to raise his voice asking “APPLE OR CHERRY” repeatedly to the elderly couple no please or thank you! Again as he muttered something under his breath when the couple continued to order a tea “yeah I can right hear what your saying” this bloke either wants to learn some manners or find a new job no ones asking you to work there mate!
