Fine Grind in Tunbridge Wells - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The coffee was nice, but the pastel de nata wasn't worth eating. Star ratings also removed because they charge extra for both decaf and alt (oat) milk (+90p).

We love this place, staff are lovely, service is great and it has a really homely atmosphere. Well patronised when we go on a Saturday morning. Coffee is very good, and the food is wonderful, especially the bacon sandwich! Pastry selection looks good, too.

Very nice to stop off and have a hot drink and bit of cake. Very friendly and got to sit outside as well.

It's a lovely little coffee shop in the heart of the Pantiles. The Portuguese custard tard was good with coffee. I will come back again to try their other food.

We visit this establishment on a regular basis especially on Sunday's. We visit Fine Grind for it's coffee as we like the taste however today we visited fine grind and my partner oredered a "Vanilla Oat Latte" and she was given "Vanilla Oat Chai Latte" so I popped the coffee back to the staff inside the shop and explained that my partner ordered "Vanilla Oat Latte" and is it ok if they change it. Well! I was looked at by a female member of staff with disgust and was told ok! In a very blunt manner! We have never experienced such poor level of service from staff before which took me by surprise. I hope we don't experienced this again.

Lovely place to pop by for a great cup of coffee

Lovely food. Very friendly and accommodating service. Would recommend.

A nice place to drink specialty coffee and eat a delicious breakfast

had heard good things from my friends, was a little busy when i went but still had plenty of seating.

Disinterested staff, cold over-priced sausage rolls. Just a poor experience. Lady serving us was more interested in chatting to her colleague and barely registered I was there. The sausage rolls we ordered had a decent flavour to them but were served cold with no mention of that or offer to heat them up. Really expensive.

I come here every once in a while and it's always great. The staff are friendly, nice atmosphere and the coffee is excellent. I thought I'd treat myself yesterday with a piece of carrot cake and it was one of the best carrot cakes I've ever tasted.

It’s hipster if you want that … never found it to be that friendly a place, or attentive to the customer. Perhaps I’m not hipster enough?

Stopped for a coffee whilst shopping and sat outside, lovely little cafe in a good location for people watching. Lovely big mugs and cute vintage spoons.

Amazing little coffee shop! You have got to try the hot chocolate! Yummy!

Excellent funky coffee shop with great service & quality products 👌

After living in RTW for some time, my Sister decided to try Fine Blend this morning. Whilst the place is gorgeous, I was incredibly disappointed by the staff. There were 2 x women working. One making the coffee and the other serving. Not one of them could muster a “thank you” or a smile. Whilst my Sister politely waited to be served, she was ignored and 2 x men who came into the cafe afterwards were served first. When she was finally acknowledged, the woman pulled a face at her when my Sister was a little unsure of the card machine. I was facing her and could see everything. To make matters worse, we couldn’t detect any coffee in the drinks we purchased. Very expensive for 2 x small cups of milk, all served by miserable staff who clearly don’t like people. I would never go in there again!

Though I would get a coffee from an independent shop. Got to be the worst coffee I have ever had. I won't be going back.

Some of the nicest coffee around! ☕️

My favourite place to stop for coffee driving south even if miles out of the way worth it.

Very hectic and unwelcoming experience. The atmosphere was unpleasant

Awesome little coffee shop, exactly the type I like the most. It’s right on the High Street, close to The Pantiles. Cosy and friendly atmosphere, convenient seating with charing points, superfast wi-fi (170mbit/s+). I felt very comfortable. And that lovely smell of coffee - simply divine. I ordered a Cortado and their avocado on sourdough bread. Both delicious. Finished the at once. About to order some more. Friendly baristas. Smiles everywhere. This is a place I will be visiting again. Nick says - definitely triple recommended!!!

The coffee was so hot it had burnt the coffee beans, the size of the hot chocolate was a joke for £3 looked like a baby chino you get elsewhere for free! Staff were rude along with the management when complaint made!! Definitely would not visit again!

Amazing coffee experience. Will be back!

Seriously good coffee very stylishly served. Nice place to while away a few minutes on a rainy Saturday. Cakes looked delicious too!

What a miserable experience. The person who took out money was very unwelcoming, barely spoke, not a smile. Took a long time for the coffee and cake to be delivered to the table (it wasn't busy). Both cinnamon swirls delivered to our table (£4.25 each!) were stale to the point of hardness. These were refunded without fuss but I noticed the tray of them were not removed from sale after I complained. Coffee was at least decent. But £14.30 for 2 black coffees and 2 dull (and stale cakes) is madness.

Used to be a good place but now they just serve burnet coffee shame

Great Buddha bowl. Sadly no smoothie bowls on the menu. They were quite busy and forgot the quinoa in my Buddha bowl but I’m still giving 5* because it was fresh and yum. Also appreciated them giving a heads up when there was a 20 min wait (clearly a popular place) for all vegans, the chocolate powder they use in the mochas is dairy free 👍🏻

Serves some of the best Coffee in town. Offshoot at the Forum for dog walkers and also now at the new Amelia Scott Library.

Great coffee and pastries. Service was really quick despite a bustling Sunday morning. On a quest to find the best coffee in Tunbridge Wells and so far this has my vote.

Superb coffee and sandwiches. Best coffee I have had in a cafe. Sandwich also excellent. Would give 5 if the service was a little more cheerful

Amazing food, lovely place, great staff. The only down is that you can’t tip when you pay on card, which is silly considering the staff is doing all the work and hardly anyone is carrying cash these days.

A nice place for breakfast with discriminating muffins.

I love this place so much! Best coffee 💙But please wipe the tables, they are so sticky...

One of the best flat whites I have had. Brought in a time and staff all smiling! Take pride in their coffee making! Reasonable prices too!

Delicious coffee, lovely setting and super helpful servers who are consistently friendly and efficient. Would have been 5 stars+ if one of the co-owners wasn’t so bafflingly rude. (If you dislike people why have a hospitality business?)

The coffee is not bad if it's made in-house (bags of beans bought in-store lack provenance). Service is always a little bit detached at snooty, as if they're doing you a favour; little rapport is built.

The palace to go in Tunbridge Wells for coffee connoisseur.

Great coffee, friendly staff and dogs are allowed.

I love the Fine Grind. Staff are nice, food is good, coffee is great. But if you're in a rush......Tell them, becasue it can take a bit of time to make a coffee.

Great coffee, lovely staff, highly recommended

Nice people. Great outside room for football etc.

Best coffee ever! Had a wonderful sticky bun to go with it ☺️☺️ fantastic

What a shame, used to be a lovely place with a friendly environment. Sadly it seems to have gone downhill over the last couple of months - staff changes/ not so friendly or professional and this showed in the service on my last couple of visits, certainly at the Amalia.

Have been here previously & both times the drinks were really good. Had a lovely Turmeric gold today with oat milk, only reason I've scored 4 stars rather than 5 is because it was a little pricey.

Excellent coffee, friendly staff, & a wonderfully relaxed vibe.

Lovely coffee and great service.

One of the best sandwiches I have ever had in a long time! Loads of filling and it was really delicious 😋

Probably the best coffee in Tunbridge Wells (imo)

Nice place, clearly popular. All the food was good, just not particularly inventive. Bread for the sandwiches was delicious, and coffee very good quality, I am told!

Favourite coffee place in TW. There are 2 in TW. One near the pantiles and one near the Library/museum. Great coffee, friendly service and delightful cakes and food.

As it mentions outside on a chalk board, "proper coffee" which it was! Cakes and sweets looked good, but didn't try any on our visit.

Cozy place with delicious coffe

Lovely place to stay in and grap a cuppa

Delicious coffee; friendly staff; relaxed vibe.

This place is amazing!!!! Super atmosphere and great staff. The breakfast is superb and if I could, I would have sat all day drinking their coffee. Can’t wait to revisit.

Oak milk tastes like water. Ruined all our drinks. Noticed didn’t have barista oat so maybe that’s why?

As well as providing delicious coffee, I was thrilled to host my wife’s 50th at their High Street location. The staff, the food and the attention to detail were all of the highest quality. We had an incredibly memorable evening in wonderful surroundings. Thanks to Will and Khalid for being such fabulous hosts. Also to Matt & James for being so accommodating and even buying a bouquet for the birthday girl. 🙏🙏

Place does look lovely, went here lunchtime with family. However the staff were a big let down. Kept taking loudly at how they hate customers who come there near closing time and generally bad mouthing their customers. Sad to see this, it was a big turn off.

One of my fave places to chill. Family run and community orientated. Friendly staff. Fab atmosphere. Strawberry Matcha is soooo good! And the cinnamon buns are delicious, especially if you ask them to heat them up a little! ✌☮🖤☯

Excellent coffee, my go-to Cafe when I'm visiting Tunbridge Wells.

Awesome as always. Food is always fresh, healthy and tasty and the coffee is the best you can get in Tunbridge Wells.

If you’re serious about coffee head here. Nice atmosphere and the coffee is GOOD!

I was charged £6 for an iced mocha (oat milk), checked the menu and other iced coffees with oat milk were between £3.50 - £4.50. I questioned it to a member of staff who told me that it was because the mocha has chocolate sauce.. £2.50 extra for chocolate sauce?!

Stopped by for lunch and coffee. The Buddha bowl salad was divine, the coffee one of the best I had and the lemon drizzle was to die for 😍

Coffee is actually good, but every single time I go in there there is some kind of problem, wrong milk, changing stipulations on the loyalty cards, weird attitude from service etc. I just feel if I ever fancy going there I know it’ll be a frustrating experience. Once I’ve finished this loyalty card I’ll go elsewhere. I don’t like having to question something every single time, makes me feel like an awkward customer which I most definitely am not. Don’t mind the odd mistake but it seems to be every single time.

Nice place to have a coffee and breakfast. Sunny terrace in the morning.

Disappointing visit this time. Have been there several times and found it very pleasant but this time there was a long queue caused by till issues and inexperienced staff. I counted six staff in total but service was very poor with confusion on which customer had ordered what. Maybe a one off, will give it another try in the future.

Great service, very friendly staff, and tasty food!

Best coffee in town! Have been a long time customer here and have a lovely relationship with the owners and co workers always a pleasure to be here and drink great coffee!

Fabulous food, quality coffee, friendly staff and great location. What's not to like!

A really nice atmosphere and better than chain coffee places. Almost Parisian in its decor it's a nice place to meet, work or read.

Really lovely coffee, friendly helpful staff and chilled environment. Perfect place to surprise our wonderful niece.

Only small but excellent coffee and home baked cakes

Great place serving lovely coffee and delicious baked goods... Staff always friendly and attentive...

Cozy place , nice staff and very good quality coffee .

Great service , great coffee every time

Has become the default for the cappuccino - coffee is really good. Never tried the breakfasts but ought to some time.

Good artisan coffee, beans perfect for an Americano as not bitter. Friendly service.

Cozy and cute cafe with excellent coffee - can’t wait to visit again!

A-m-a-z-i-n-g coffee and cosy atmosphere.

Fantastic coffee! Stumbled upon this by pure accident and very glad we did. Finding a place which can make a good oat milk flat white is tricky and this establishment excelled! Delicious paninis as well and friendly staff. Great spot to drop into for a break from the day 👍

Best coffee in T.Wells, cakes were also delicious. Disappointed that the toilets were out of order.

Best oat milk lattes! Love this coffee shop, friendly staff, lovely pastries and great surroundings

Silky smooth flat white and a ‘special’ tangerine hot chocolate was excellent. Lovely staff too

Super coffee and friendly service.

Cosy coffee shop, excellent coffee and food

Excellent coffee and and lovely service friendly staff

Delicious coffee, great selection of pastries, Wi-Fi, cosy atmosphere.

Best coffee shop in town, despite some stiff competition

Went today, Sunday 15 August for brunch. Complete shambles. Clueless teenage waiter was doing his Manuel impression from Fawlty Towers as he kept bringing incorrect food to the wrong tables. Customers getting very fed up, in some cases having paid for a dish were then told it had been given to someone else. Interminable wait for everything. Beats me how this amateurish operation got any good reviews.

Amazing coffee, beautiful foam art. Both with cow's milk and oat milk. Accommodated for dogs as well. Excellent sausage roll and gf brownie.

Only popped in to get out the rain but stayed for the coffee. Had a caramel latte, which arrived with a lovely pattern in it. Due to the rain everyone was indoors, but there looks to be a fair amount of seating available. Toilets downstairs are under a low ceiling so mind your head!

Great coffee and pastry. Vegan options available x

Great latte art and great people!

Great service. Fantastic coffee and pastries. Also had a green smoothie 😋

Always great for a coffee and cake.

The staff are friendly and the coffee is good. I found the food slightly overpriced but sometimes can take a while to be ready. Sometimes you wait inside or outside, the system isn’t always clear so they could work on that.

I had never been here before, maybe the staff were having an off-day, maybe they're not used to it being busy again? But the guy behind the counter was rude (Context was: there was no clear queue, so I ended up standing at the wrong end of the counter for a few minutes before asking the guy whether I could order with him, he looked offended and muttered "go to that end)" Manners cost nothing so I happily took my business elsewhere. I wouldn't even be tempted to try it again based on how many other good coffee shops there are in TW (and I've only tried a handful of them)

Wonderful place to get a delicious coffee and have a stroll around the woods nearby 🤪 and so many vegan options! Pasty, sausage roll a brownie AND a panini I MUST return for

One of my favourite cafes in town. Really good coffee and (pre-lockdown) is a good place to work in.
