Grindsmith At Media City

The coffee, the staff, the atmosphere and the food at Grindsmith Media City cafe make this an almost daily haunt for me. Everyone is so friendly and care about their customers. Big shout out to Sam and Kat

Grindsmith is gem! It has a warm and inviting atmosphere with consistently excellent food and coffee! Special thanks to the barista with the pink hair and cheery smile this morning. Everyone working there is friendly and all this helps make MediaCity feel like a nice location :)

The supervisor with pink hair was totally obnoxious in dealing with my family. Her approach was ‘ i am doing you a favour’ by letting you have a coffee. Disappointing, as the food is good

Such a highlight to my day, the staff are super friendly and always make me smile, I visited Grindsmith store yesterday after a long walk round the quays, I loved my oat latte! The coffee is amazing along with how lovely the atmosphere is, I always recommend Grindsmith! Thank you to all the staff!

Great coffee, sadly the baristas are always moody and not friendly at all.

I used to visit Grindsmith Coffee Roasters every Sunday morning (pre-COVID). Their café at MediaCityUK was around the corner from my flat. And I adore it. The interior has a Scandi-minimalist kind of vibe, with a hint of industrial heritage. And that's something you'll find in almost every coffee shop in Manchester. Now, moving onto the coffee... I have little to say other than that it's exceptional. Their passion for blending warm (yet smooth) coffee emanates from every mug. But, as if that wasn't enough, the food at Grindsmith is likewise top-notch. The menu may have changed since my last visit, but I recommend two items: 1) The Pancakes - I'm talking thick, American-style with mascarpone and berries. 2) The French Toast - Chunky (yet light) and served with maple syrup and bacon. So, if you work in or around MediaCity, and fancy popping out for a lunch break... ... head on over to Grindsmith. Parking: There's a fairly large car park behind the Orange Building at MediaCity. There's usually a space available there, and it's right around the corner from Grindsmith. Wheelchair accessibility: The café is perfectly accessible by wheelchair. Although, there is an upstairs seating area, which wheelchair users will not be able to access.
