Grind & Tamp in Bury

Great spot in the heart of Ramsbottom , Highly recommend

Took myself here for a little ‘me’ time and I was so glad I chose this place. Really chilled feel. I sat by the window with a book and had a beautiful cappuccino (really creamy) and fogs and ricotta on toast which was a generous portion and I couldn’t eat it all! A nice little spot to people watch and I can’t wait to try other things on the menu!

Friendly, relaxed and lovely for breakfast, thank you.

A small tasteful coffee shop in Ramsbottom..

It has been the best place for coffee in Rammy since it opened and it has not changed.

Our go-to when we want a decent coffee and brunch. Lovely staff, amazing coffee, delicious food and right on our doorstep in the heart of Rammy

Great flavoursome coffee at a reasonable price with friendly staff.😄

Great coffee and delicious food. We also tried the homemade Watermelon Lemonade! Give it a try. Friendly staff who clearly knew the locals.

G&T in Rammy is a true local coffee shop at the heart of the community, offering fantastic coffee (honestly 5 star) and superb food.

Top coffee place, best in Ramsbottom and better than most in Greater Manchester. Try the guest coffee for a pleasant surprise. Lovely team and food options too.

Nice Cafe, Dog Friendly, Welcoming Staff, only had a coffee so no idea as to the food. Excellent Strong Coffee, we had Cappuccino priced at £3.20. My only criticism is the Cost of a Coffee in Relation to the size you get, ie you get a Cup which was Disappointing when really you’re paying the price of a large beaker as per the large coffee shops. Can never really understand why coffee given the price isn’t always served in large cups/beakers. A good idea would be a picture of the cup/beaker used alongside the price advertised.

Great food and coffee with attentive staff.

Lovely coffee & savoury scone ( warm!) Highly recommended!

Great relaxed coffee shop, lovely staff who are passionate about their coffee and it shows in the drinks!

Avoid if you prefer to use cash or cash and card as this establishment is CARD ONLY. Other coffee shops in Ramsbottom are far superior. Cash is king 👑 🙂

Best speciality coffee in the North West. So lucky to have this place as my local coffee shop.

Best coffee in UK, we didn't eat but the food smelt so good.

Went in for late lunch with mum and sister. Mum had cheese on soda bread which was just a pile of overcooked bread with melted cheese - sister and I had poached eggs on soda bread. One slice of bread, two snotty undercooked eggs - all overpriced. Tea was ok. Coffee served in an orange glass - just serve it in a cup for goodness sake! Only good thing was my glass is of Chardonnay which was delicious. £27 for the privilege - and not even table service. Won’t be going again. Very disappointed and leaves a sour taste in my mouth that it cost so much and I didn’t complain.

Lovely coffee shop with really good quality coffee made with care. Great menu - small but mighty. Lush staff. Love this place.

Went today with family. We only went for a drink but the girl serving was really unfriendly and told us we only had half an hour and couldn't order food (which we werent intended) Sat down and she came over with the drink, said nothing even when we thanked her. The atmosphere was awful. Felt like just because they were closing soon we were made to feel uncomfortable Wont be returning

A very nice little cafe in Ramsbottom with a good selection of brunch and breakfast items. The food was well presented and tasted pretty good, but knocking off a point as all 4 of our poached eggs were overdone - the yokes weren't runny, but the American style bacon was tasty 👍 Overall, a nice atmosphere and they've tried to make the best of a small space, so you might feel a little cramped and close to others if all the tables are taken.

Had a lovely coffee and brunch. See they are open on Friday and Saturday evenings too so will need to give that a try. Well worth a visit

Very disappointed. My wife had been in for coffee previously and was impressed. Having looked at other reviews I can only assume others have more money than sense. We were all disappointed , my wife had a bagel as did my stepson, minuscule portions he was still hungry afterwards. I had the bacon and waffles which were quite good, except for the ice cold maple syrup poured over the hot meal. Coffee good but small servings, waited 15+ minutes for over priced not well cooked food. Won’t be going again, ever. Ramsbottom resident

Coffee Manchester price. The beetroot soup I had was enjoyable. They didn't have any salmon dishes when we went in. Wish the space was not so crammed.

Great coffee and the Turkish eggs are amazing

smallish shots of... very good coffee not your usual chain store coffee

What a fab breakfast and lovely coffee. A must for your start to the day. Service had a smile and a welcome you don’t get everywhere these days.

Best local place for really good coffee. Always welcoming

Cheese toastie is incredible. Coffee is very nice as well

Nice and cosy place but food took 25 min to arrive. 2 bacon sandwiches and salmon bagel, a bit too long in my opinion. The girl also behind the bar was a bit rude, only open her mouth to tell you how much it costs otherwise she just move her head and hands, that's what I had when I said thank you goodbye 👋 overall, not a place for me

Proper coffee, really good breakfast or lunch. Plenty of veggie choice. Also the cakes are delicious!

Had a coffee with a business contact at 9am. Place was empty at the time but soon filled up. Drinks were nice. Can feel a little cramped when full but they have made good use of the space available. Payment system was efficient and you can choose whether you want a receipt emailed or text to you. Overall a nice place to have a drink.

Top level coffee shop , real artisan coffee by passionate people (Card payment only, NO CASH)

We came here last year for breakfast. The Cafe had only just opened their doors and the menu was limited. This however didn’t faze us as the food was super tasty and the coffee was fantastic. Although it’s a small place it’s worth visiting! We unfortunately didn’t get a chance to return this year but when we head up this way again we hope to pop in!

Love the vibe, coffee and food! Lovely staff working there too. Grind & Tamp is one of our regular brunch spots & we’d recommend it to anyone.

By far the best coffee you'll find in the wider Bury area. They do some fantastic V60 coffees and use good beans from atkinsons coffee in Lancaster

Unfortunately when we visited for lunch they weren't serving any hot food which was disappointing. They did offer a toasted tea cake or potato cake, so we had that and a smoothie.

A really nice venue & visit today with my friend The coffee & atmosphere are perfect & the service was also excellent from both the team

Lovely atmosphere, salmon bagel was out of this world!

Really nice coffee....could do with bigger cups

The best coffee and breakfast shop in Ramsbottom hands down.

Excellent mocha all ingredients weighed results r in the taste ...

Nice place lovely tea and teacake

Delicious sausage and egg muffin followed by Portuguese custard tart and fresh coffee. Lovely setting with rustic fee, reasonably priced l and very friendly staff. Defineyly worth a visit. Will be returning soon ....

Sorry guys. Need to learn how to toast tea-cakes and with enough butter.

Great guys and coffee but terrible toasted t-cakes. Not good quality, not browned, not enough butter, like eating sawdust! Sorry , everything else ok.

Friendly staff. Excellent coffee and good food

It's a very small coffee bar and not cheap however they are always very welcoming and the coffee (and tea) is amazing. The barista is very skilled and knowledgeable.

Poor service. Just wanted a cup of coffee not a lesson in how to faff about with hot water, coffee and milk.

Strong flat white with good roasted bean

Great coffee. Small, but unusual menu. Lovely food and friendly staff

Great coffee, great food and customer service 👍

Nice place great coffee and nice staff

Very intimate cafe. Coffee and turmeric latte were good and hot, however there was a choice of one cake; it was Poruguese custard tart or nothing. So I had the Portuguese custard tart which was delicious . The absence of cake stock though made the ambiance austere and the experience diminished. Savoury menu looked nice. Confusion about service (counter. V. table) could have been sorted if the staff had been more communicative and friendly, instead of just standing there trying to look cool.

One the best coffees in Greater Manchester! Really nice staff with great knowledge of coffee. The food is incredible and it's a great place to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat.

Nice relaxed atmosphere and amazing coffee ☕️ Food was unique and delicious well worth the visit

Great atmosphere! Best hot chocolate! SP. Si están en Ramsbottom y necesitan algo caliente definitivamente Grind & Tamp ! PT. O chocolate quente está uma delícia!

THE place for coffee in Ramsbottom. The potato cakes are delish

Delicious breakfast and coffee, lovely cafe environment. Love visiting here

Called in for a coffee and a catch up with a friend. Lovely coffee, relaxed atmosphere and didn't feel rushed. We didn't eat but other customers food looked delicious. Would definitely visit again.

TL;DR – Knowledgable and extremely friendly barista serving up top notch coffee (only tried the pour over, would rate it 10/10). I was on the hunt for a quality cup of coffee this morning and hiked all the way from Helmshore to Grind & Tamp (which is ~1hr). Was not disappointed one bit and would do it again on another day. The staff were friendly and helped me through choosing the right bean for my pour over. Thank you for kicking off my morning to a great start!

Nice place,.lovely coffee, all you can ask for

Very welcoming. Coffe was excellent and the cheese and roasted pepper toastie was divine. Would go there again.

Coffee as good as you'll get anywhere! Been a couple of times and will keep coming back

Nice little coffee shop with a friendly Barista.

Oh aye. Nice coffee. Nice food.

Great coffee and the cake I had was top notch. Really friendly lady and gent behind the counter. Pro tip 1: the open sign on the door isn't obvious, so better to check rather than assume! Pro tip 2: COVID means the only food is cake...not that that's a problem, of course, but just to be aware...

I've not been to Grind and Tamp since before March. I must have been picked when I was visiting the Dentist across the road, which is a fantastic kind and caring Dentists. 5 stars. However when I was in Grind and Tamp the service was great as well as the Coffee.

Super little place!! We just popped in during a little trip out and I really enjoyed the coffee and toast. Really Top class service from a great couple of guys. Can't fault it and if I'm ever back in Ramsbottom will definitely revisit. P.S. Our Whippet also enjoyed it!

Great coffee and friendly service. Bit noisy inside as struggled to have a conversation with all the grinding going on.

This is a great coffee shop serving the community in difficult times. Lovely coffee and very friendly, helpful staff. Well worth a visit.

Friendly staff, lovely brunch options and very tasty coffee!

So Ramsbottom great coffee and food

Friendly staff, nice decor, great coffee and brunch menu, would visit again when in Ramsbottom.

Excellent latte and the waffles, bacon & syrup were gorgeous.

There's an over spill of coffee shops in Rammy but this is by far the best. This place knows their stuff with the option for coffee to be made with espresso or a number of filter methods. Don't expect a quick fill. It takes a few minutes to grind beans, make coffee and if need be add milk. In my case I asked for an oat latte which was absolutely spot on.Bean quality is key for a good coffee with this place offering some decent quality roasts. Space is tight but if you can get in you're in for a quality experience.

Has to be the best coffee shop in the area for me. From the great coffee range, knowledgeable super friendly staff and great food. Rich chocolate brownie with the flat white was a great combo. Real coffee people need to come here.

I called in advance to check if this restraurant provided gluten free food and they gave me a detailed menu. When we arrived the staff were excellent and we were not rushed.

Always friendly and always the best coffee in Ramsbottom.

Shout out to Grind and Tamp. These guys love their coffee, love their produce. As a local person who now lives in a coffee-obsessed Australia, I’m a bit fussy to say the least but this place does THE best coffee... and it’s good to support the local independents ....

Absolutely the best coffee house anywhere. Food is fabulous and changes frequently. Have something the sourdough bread sublime.

Best cafe in the area in my opinion. On my first visit I had a delicious sweet potato and roast pepper salad, every visit since has been a positive one. Excellent coffee, tasty food and really kind staff.

The staff are so knowledgeable about coffee and clearly love their job. Owners passion is embedded in all staff. Only downside small setting so not guaranteed to get in. Food is superb, small menu perfectly executed.

I’m an irregular regular at Grind & Tamp. Always a flat white, however I’ve now changed to decaf (still tastes great). I’ve also swapped to non dairy, staff recommend not using soya but oat milk and they were right it makes for a great drink.The food is of excellent quality (I love the chorizo hash £8), not cheap but good value.Free WiFi and water (plain and with cucumber) are nice touches.Min card payment must be over a fiver.They also sell coffee to go and coffee to make at home.Definitely the best coffee in Rammy, Totty, Bury and Rossendale.

My husband and I took the steam train from Bury, got off in Ramsbottom and had lunch here. Great little find, good coffe and excellent food. Great for a light lunch , I had roasted pepper and haloumi salad, husband, philly cheese steak and a waffle with caramelised banana and ice cream. Nice relaxed atmosphere and very friendly staff. If your a coffee aficionado , they take it seriously here. Would go again and have the avocado on toast

A disappointing visit. It appeared to be very unorganised with staff not knowing what they were doing, drinks ok food not very good. Unfortunately not a place I would recommend there’s much better places in Ramsbottom and you won’t be sat on top of each other.

Lovely place, great food & great coffee. Really friendly people and perfect service. Dog & baby friendly

Great food. Fab friendly service. Look forward to returning.

Lovely coffee, friendly staff but felt $2.50 for a slice of toast is overpriced.

Great coffee, lovely food, staff were very friendly and knowledgeable; can't fault it. Will definitely be back... Most likely tomorrow for breakfast!

My Mum and I visited Ramsbottom during the annual Chocolate festival. So perhaps it was a lot busier than it would normally be. Nevertheless we found a table. The staff are really friendly and helpful and the coffee was great. Honestly if I lived locally I would certainly pay this place a few visits.

Fantastic service, great place for a coffee, highly recommend the flat white, knowledgeable staff who really take pride in what they do, will defo be back next time I'm in Ramsbottom. Wish I lived closer. The mango smoothie and flap jack were awesome too.

Visited Grind & Tamp today for the first time just because the place we were going to go to was shut. So glad we did as it is such a friendly welcoming place with interesting decor. Had lunch which was really good with a nice sourdough bread. The coffee was superb, the best we've had in a long time. Will definitely be back!

Delicious coffee, especially the oat latte! The staff are very friendly and accommodating escpeically re gluten free options. The decor is contemporary and feels entirely appropriate for a small specialist coffee shop/cafe. Fabulous background music too.

I think David Blunkett led by the blind association designed the table layout.

We went to “Grind and Tamp” for a Father’s Day Breakfast June 16 2019. Their coffee is really excellent here and we all enjoyed our breakfasts, including waffles with bacon, scrambled egg and maple syrup and poached egg with bacon on a muffin. It was all beautifully cooked and presented. For a small establishment, it was very busy on Father’s Day but still the service was efficient and welcoming. We have enjoyed several visits to this independent coffee shop in Ramsbottom and I would recommend it wholeheartedly.

Fantastic coffee shop. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Best coffee in ramsbottom. Especially with a cone of chips from the chippy!

very rigid re menus. could not order a bacon roll/toast as it only comes as per menu (other cafes we go to are always willing to make bacon on toast)
