Fine Grind (High Street) — Restaurant in Tunbridge Wells

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...

This is how it should be done loose tea always tastes better! If you are in Tunbridge Wells and in need of refreshment this is the...

Delicious coffee and lovely place to sit outside in the sun. The cafe is also dog friendly so you can bring your furry friend with you and enjoy a cup of coffee and some sunshine. There’s dog biscuits and a water bowl by the door for your furry friend.

There’s usually some vegan options on the counter, the carrot cake being one of them that I’m also definitely recommending (probably the best vegan carrot cake I’ve had). But depending on the day, there’s other options too, from what I’ve seen and tried thus far I can mention the granola bar and the banana bread with chocolate chips.

Staff are lovely and smiling and it’s overall a really nice cafe on the...
