On a recent visit to Wakefield, my companion and I decided we needed a coffee stop, since we'd managed to arrive too late for lunch but too early for tea. That ultimately dead hour, where everything is set to close, and life has departed. It was supremely bad timing, and having missed most other cafes, Grind was our only hope. We wandered in to an empty space, where the girl immediately let us know she too was closing up imminently. That was fine, we said, we could get take away and sit outside. This was fine by her, so long as we didn't make use of their al fresco seating, as that was to be packed away. I gestured to the reasonably new public seating outside, and said that's where we'd be pulling up a pew.
I had a latte of some description. The cafe inside is reasonably attractive-clean, simple and relatively spacious. They have all the usual suspects, in terms of drinks and suchlike, and no doubt plenty of snacks to enjoy. As we were to be in and out, I didn't really have the chance to fully intake the details and minutiae. In any case, the visit was fairly unremarkable, but not unpleasant.
As for the coffee, I couldn't say it was outstanding, but it was the caffeine hit I needed for a day wandering about the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. In that regard, I can say, if you need a hit the Grind will serve you well. read more
