Daily Grind

One of my favorite coffee shops!

I am extremely confused by this coffee shop and what it stands for. It consistently sells some of the best if not the best coffee in town, however it almost feels like the staff is purposefully trained to be impersonal to the point that it's almost rude. To further add to the confusion of a negative and unwelcome vibe of a coffee shop (shouldn't it be the other way around especially when you are located in the heart of fells point?) the place is extremely dirty with tables that are literally sticky from built up dirt but somehow I can honestly say their food is also good and I've never gotten sick here. Maybe this is their mission. Great coffee pastries and sandwishes in a dirty unfriendly and unwelcoming and almost miserable environment.

Great coffee, bagels, and sandwiches. Friendly staff. Plus, they have a "doggy door" so you don't have to bring your dog in- you can order and takeaway from the window!

RECOMMENDATION: Ferreror Rocher Mocha - I had actually asked if the drink is pretty sweet and they asked if I wanted it less sweet :-)

I just happened to find this place as a close walk to my friend's place and I am so glad I did! What a neat layout with delicious drinks, pastries/snacks, free wifi, lots of seating and plenty of options and customizations for your drink! If I was staying longer, this would have been a daily stop for me and definitely a place I would love to sit and work or study.

Place is great. You get what you want here.

Staff is always friendly and they stay pretty consistent with who stays around. I live close by so I make it a priority most mornings to swing by while I take my dog on a walk. They have a dog door that you can knock on while you stay outside with you dog. They even offer treat here and there.

Most days I get a breakfast sandwich as well and sit across the street on the water while I eat it. If it’s too cold and I don’t have my dog, there is plenty on indoor seating to sit with friends or bag away that research on your lap top.

Later in the day they may run out of popular bagels as expected, maybe happened to me once or twice but no big deal. Also...they have Yoo-Hoo, so that’s pretty great too.

Food was good
Service was basic.

I went in here and became immediately confused. Customer was next to me and immediately started grilling me a series of yes or no questions. Eventually I was denied entry into the building and forged my own signature in order to exit. From sea to shining sea! Photos to come shortly...

The Daily Grind serves up great coffee and sandwiches. As a weekend treat I often get a latte or a half-sweet mocha. Both are delicious.

Always friendly staff - lines go very quickly even during a rush. I often order a breakfast sandwich and the portion size is very large. I ask for a medium-complex sandwich and it's been right every time. Also, very affordable.

I love coming here early morning after dropping my partner. This morning my coffee was less than lack luster. I ordered a dirty chai lite ice. She poured an entire cup full of ice, the drink was at least 1-2 inches from the top, and when I left and tried drinking it it was chalky to the point where I can’t even drink it. At least my sandwich was in good shape. Disappointed since I’ve been coming here for the last 6 years for my early morning coffee.
