Best coffee, best people, great sense of community. Live music advocates. My favourite place to be. Thank you 😊

O.

Very very good. I've had iced vanilla latte's like 3 times and their coffee has such a complex delicious taste, none of that burned taste 🥰 unique flavour and yummy, better than Starbucks which I always buy from. Also get on Deliveroo please 😅 My only wish is that they did 20 ounce takeaway cups 🌱

Great independent coffee shop, had a nice morning walk around the racecourse, then called into the old grocery expresso bar. Really good coffee, friendly staff, and best pano chocolate we've had. We had our dog with us so sat outside but had the coffee brought to us and enjoyed chatting to other customers waiting for their orders, lovely atmosphere , will be back soon .

K. E.

A lovely cafe with excellent cakes, the peanut butter / chocolate bar is to die for. Excellent sausage rolls. Lovely atmosphere, friendly and relaxed, altogether a real find just off The Racecourse.

G. A.

Amazingly beautiful coffee shop close to town, honestly one of the nicest hot chocolates I've ever had and the service was incredible. Run by the loveliest people definitely going back!

S. B.

Lovely sourdough bread bacon sandwich. Finally a coffee shop that can make macchiato properly

S. F.

Great coffee place with unique espressos and flavours like beetroot chai latte. Really friendly and caring staff, we'll be back to taste more!

L. F.

Nice place to visit, nice tea. Gets very busy very quickly. Outside seating could be better

A. C.

I thought I'd tasted the best coffee in Northampton till I came here. If you could serve me a better flat white than this one. I'd die from pleasure. Their sausage rolls are second to none. If you're partial, give these a try. You'll never look back. Everything you'll eat and drink here is well considered and a taste sensation. Great staff, great vibe! Eat in or take out, this place is truly a gem!

Nice place to have coffee and friendly staff

M. M.

Really good service from the barista, tasty coffee & loads of options! New local

H. B.

Great little cafe with superb cakes, teas and coffees. Friendly staff always happy to please. Its very tiny with only pavement for outdoor space, maybe small tables would be permitted? I would like to see fresh fruit and granola offered on breakfast menu but I know they can't carry too much fresh produce in case of wastage.

C. B.

Hidden gem I would highly recommend you visit this superb little coffee shop

M. P.

Lovey Coffee. Sausage rolls and Cake were extremely good, service was top too! Thanks.

J. D.

When heading about doing work duties its always a pleasure to stop in and grab a nice Flat white and some fresh baked goods !

S. F.

Delicious coffee, friendly helpful staff, very popular place

A. l.

Always a vibe going on. The best coffee bar in Northampton no argument.

H. M.

First visit to the Old Grocery meeting a friend for coffee and a catch up. Sat outside due to Covid restrictions. Great service, very friendly and helpful staff. Coffee was very good as was the bakewell slice! All round excellent experience and looking forward to returning when we are opened up again. Highly recommended.

A. D.

Since moving to the area a couple of months ago I have found the perfect spot for a quiet drink, meeting up with friends, getting some work done and most importantly enjoying their DELICIOUS coffee. The home made treats are so hard to resist, I cannot recommend the sausage rolls enough! The friendly staff inside make every trip really enjoyable and I look forward to my post gym treat every few days.

D. A.

A wonderful place with a great range of delicious drinks and food. Particularly exciting to find somewhere that caters for gluten and dairy free dietary requirements. Wonderful atmosphere.

1.

Sausage and bacon sandwiches on sourdough with the most outstanding flat white coffee. Everything was quality, rich, flavoursome and worth every penny.

S. A.

Nice food and atmosphere!

J. A.

Beautiful coffee shop. Chilled vibes, funky decor and art work, great background music and short walk from the park. Nice locally sourced coffee, and wide range of loose teas and hot chocolates. Gluten free goodies and vegan options. Nice brunch menu, again sourced locally. Friendly staff and reasonable prices.

T. J.

Great coffee, sausage rolls are ace. Whenever I’m in the area I make a point of buying lunch or breakfast. The area was crying out for this. Hopefully some of the Kettering road will follow suit and become a bit more classy and modern. Well done for starting and maintaining this business

D. C.

Such a great little coffee shop. Ive been to a lot of coffee shops in Northampton and this is by far the best tasting. The coffee is flavourful, and youre not left with a flat,watery drink once the frothed milk has died down. The food is great and prices reasonable. Only downsides for me...opens after i start work, and the large coffees could be bigger but..that's more of a personal downfall than a reflection of the shop itself. Keep it up guys

N. D.

The coffee is incredible, much better than Costa or Starbucks and cheaper too. The staff are all very kind and helpful too.

h. g.

Lovely little hidden gem that we discovered when we needed to cool off in the hot weather with a hot toddler. Fantastic variety of hot and cold drinks and selection of food. The young lady who served us was brilliant! Just the break that we needed. Would definitely go back again. Full of character.

F. L.

Definably one of the the best coffee bars in Northampton. Great coffee, terrific food and the amazing people you can find them all there!

K. A.

What a amazing place! Such a cosy friendly environment with amazing cake! 😋 had a Latte and sausage roll, followed by a chocolate brownie! chilled and watched the world go by. Thank you to the lovely staff, I will be back!

G. S.

Excellent coffee, great experience. Please stay open!

S. 2.

We were recommended to visit by a marshal at parkrun, would never have found it otherwise. It is such a little gem, we have come back multiple times. The coffee is really wonderful, good cakes, great breakfast and lots of seating inside and out. Highly recommend.

T. R. L. (. T.

Well...just all round great people, service and atmosphere. Oh, and the coffee is amazing 😋. Many thanks to Liam and the team.

C. H.

Great service and delicious food in a relaxed setting. Friendly independent cafe which is well worth a visit

S. K.

Always a perfect spot for a drink....and cake

B. M.

A nice place to visit for a coffee/breakfast. Good quality with a premium price. Friendly staff. Long wait at busy times. We waited in excess of 25 minutes for a coffee. The place was busy, but a Parkrun crowd should not have come as a surprise.

L. B.

A great café, especially for residents in the area. My wife and I came here for a mid-morning coffee after we'd seen Grocery Espresso on Insta. They have vegan brownies, which were freshly delivered when we arrived! Oat, almond, coconut, and soya milks are available, so perfect for fellow vegans. My oat flat white was excellent and my wife enjoyed an oat latte. Great brownie as well! Seating is limited upstairs so our coffees were brought to us downstairs - handy to have the extra space. It's the other side of town to us but I wish the cafe were closer! Definitely worth checking out if you live nearby as it's one of the best in town.

S. O.

Just found this cute looking cafe whilst out walking the dog at the adjoining racecourse grounds. Wasn't on Maps so requested addition. Unfortunately it was shut (9am Thursday ) so have given them a temporary rating of 4 stars just based on location and outside appearance. More to follow.

J. S. (. M. 3.

Absolutely fantastic place! Really laid back and comfortable, great place to just hang out and enjoy a nice hot chocolate! Their white hot chocolate is a top recommendation by the way, an absolute must try!

Looks wonderful, was looking forward to having a coffee here, but was turned away as we had a small quiet dog, although there was a dog bowl outside? Just have to visit without the dog🐶

(Translated) Super nice little cafe that was recommended to me by a friend in town. The brownie that I took in addition to my delicious cappuccino was also delicious. The cafe is a bit outside the city center but the short walk (5 minutes) to get there is definitely worth it! (Original) Super chouette petit café qui m'a été conseillé par un ami de la ville. Le brownie que j'ai pris en plus de mon délicieux cappuccino était, lui aussi, délicieux. Le café est un peu en dehors du centre-ville mais la petite marche (5 minutes) pour y aller en vaut vraiment la peine !
