About
Art & Grind is one of Guildford's more original café concepts, combining a coffee shop with an art-led space that supports local makers and exhibitions. That gives it a different energy from the town's more straightforward brunch spots, especially if you want somewhere with a bit more character.\n\nThe coffee side is taken seriously, with an emphasis on careful brewing and quality beans rather than just treating drinks as an afterthought. Add in the gallery-style feel and it becomes a place people visit for the atmosphere as much as the caffeine.\n\nIf you like your coffee shops independent, slightly creative and a little less obvious, Art & Grind is well worth a stop.
