The Grinders — Restaurant in Baghdad

I recently visited Grinder’s Cafe in Mansour and had a pleasant experience overall. Here’s my detailed take:

Location & Ambience The cafe is conveniently located in the Mansour district, making it fairly accessible from many parts of western Baghdad. It sits near Jedar Center and close to several embassies and shops. The interior has a cozy, relaxed vibe — comfortable seating arrangements, soft lighting, and a decent amount of space, so it feels calm rather than overcrowded.

Food & Drinks Their coffee was solid, with good espresso and a smooth cappuccino. The menu also included light snacks and pastries. The presentation was neat. (If I were rating, perhaps 4.2/5 on taste and consistency.)

Service Staff were polite and attentive. My order arrived relatively quickly, and the baristas seemed knowledgeable when I asked about different roasts. There was some slight wait during peak hours, but nothing too bothersome.

Value for Money Prices are reasonable for a cafe in Mansour. You get fair portions and good quality, so I felt I got good value. It’s not ultra cheap, but fits well within the acceptable range for a café...

This Grinders branch in just what you would expect from any of other branches with the added benefit of being larger and just a little quieter. In case you haven’t been in any branch of theirs before, you can find a really good quality coffee in here better than most of the competition, a good quality okay tasting fast bite mostly for breakfast , a comfortable seating and big tables to study, work or just eat and drink and nice friendly workers. If you are someone who likes to study outside in cafes I would recommend this place for you since it checks most of the boxes. Make sure to bring noise cancelling headphones, I did say it’s more quite but it’s definitely not quite enough to study or get...

Great place but I would suggest no smoking signs because second hand smoking is not our choice it was very hard to breath and I came here to study so it affected my studying I might die now from lung cancer and they still haven’t...
