I enjoyed it here. Originally it was just a tiny stall in Bolton Market, and I thought it was just…read morea shop where you primarily buy coffee beans, but now there's The Coffee Grind on Newport Street, which is a full blown coffee shop, and feels like a touch of Manchester's Northern Quarter but in Bolton. Its exposed brickwork and chunky wood furnishings work well with the tall ceilings, and a huge mirror on one end to give the illusion of more space in what is already a spacious venue. The service is friendly and professional, and it's nice that I had the option of a few different teas, as many coffee shops simply offer "tea" as well as the coffees. The coffees available sit on a big set of shelves in large kilner jars, and a chiller by the main counter shows the sandwiches and snacks available, as well as a cake stand on the counter to tempt you! Good value, and they have a loyalty card too. I'll definitely be back.

New owner I think, time for a new review…read more Dropped in for breakfast, ordered an omelette & coffee. Rapid service, very friendly, genuinely nice place, clean and well presented without necessarily being the pinnacle of luxury. Two minor gripes: Don't assume 'coffee' always comes with milk: ask how the customer likes it! I don't complain when milk gets put in my coffee because I don't want the business to throw away food/drink and lose money on it but I'd rather have black coffee so it would make sense to ask first. Red onion does not make a salad! Especially not first thing in the morning. Maybe it's a Bolton thing but I've yet to find somewhere that doesn't overload on the onion (red or otherwise) Otherwise it was a very tasty omelette and arrived very punctually. I'm sure as long as you aren't looking for gourmet Michelin cheffing you'll be happy with any food from here.

Most big coffee chains just shout "2 or 3 star me," don't they? I mean to be fair it's not like…read morethey do much wrong and they cover most bases, let's break it down. Do they sell coffee? Yes Is the coffee nice? Meh Do they sell cakes? Yes Do they have free wifi? Yes Is the service pleasant? Usually yes! A final optional detail would be does this place get busy, but look at the address we're in Bolton here people ;) In generaI, I very rarely visit chains anyway now I am blessed with Manchester's independent coffee shop boom however Bolton is a little way behind it's big brother and chains might have to do the job for the next few years. Typically Costa is my least favourite chain coffee shop, Starbucks being my guilty pleasure that I can't dislike even if I try (and yes I am aware of the tax situation before you lecture me). However even with that taken into consideration, they do nothing to warrant a 1 star, so 2 it is.

I'm a regular visitor to this Costa, the lure of the Flat White is too strong to resist…read more It's always very busy, but the staff are very efficient and fly through orders with ease. My regular Flat white, £2.50, is always spot on. Smooth yet strong and 9 times out of 10, they nail the coffee art on top :) One thing that I think Costa need to look at is the cost of the food they sell, it's very expensive. The toasted teacake or pannatone are about the best value @ £1.75 and £1.90 respectively. Recommend to grab a table before ordering if you're with company, as they disappear fast!

Friendly and welcoming, this tucked away little jewel is a great alternative to the big corporate…read morecoffee shops, but despite looking like a chain, it's actually an independent, serving a variety of teas, coffees, sandwiches, cakes and other treats. They have a daily freshly made soup, free wifi, a comfortable seating area, and even have skimmed milk and decaf tea for awkward customers like me. One of the staff tells me about some great future plans too, jacket potatoes and Carrs pasties for instance. Really nice place. I'd definitely come here again.

A Panda in Bolton!! Well not quite, but an Independent…read moreCoffee Shop in Bolton worth checking out! Bolton has it's fair share of chain coffee shops and setting up an Indie Shop, that is actually good enough to take on the big boys, is not an easy task. However, it seems Panda Coffee Co might have damn near pulled it off. From the signage, to the decor, this place has it nailed. The set up of comfy sofas, nice size tables, the very reasonably priced menu is well thought out. £1.50 Illy Espresso £1.95 Latte, Cappuccino, American (small sizes) The £4.50 Meal deal (Sandwich/wrap, cold drink & any crisps or cookie) £3.75 Any Hot Drink+any cake Soup of the Day from £1.35 With prices like these, I'm sure they will be very popular in Bolton! The service was very good, the shop very clean and coffee and tea cake I got where really nice for £3.20! Here's hoping this little Panda doesn't go on the endangered list! Well done guys!
