Daily Grind

Why was my corn beef hash so grisly? The steak bomb meat too! That's disgusting. It wasn't like that some months ago. I had to throw it away. I've always enjoyed the food. The quality has definitely gone down. I will not buy again.

Excellent food and service. Had the California breakfast sandwich on a croissant with egg, avocado, goat cheese, etc., which comes with a coffee for about $10. Everything was fresh and prepared quickly. I visited twice and the staff was very friendly. Seems like a very well-managed place. I will definitely return when I visit Albany!

2nd time here. 1st time I ordered an iced tea and the So Cal sandwich. Idk what happened with the tea or the container they brewed it in but it was really bad. The So Cal was eh. Was small with barely any goat cheese which was a bit disappointing considering it’s 9 and change but whatever. Today I ordered a bagel with cream cheese. The cream cheese was fine but the bagel is one of those bagged store bought Thomas’ bagels which are also disappointing. Probably won’t be coming back.

This is my second time visiting Daily Grind. This time because I got the Groupon for 5 drinks for $10. Got an iced latte and even though they advertise this as a Starbucks alternative, the coffee isn't as smooth and tastes burnt like Starbucks'. Will be visiting 4 more times so maybe Daily Grind will be able to redeem itself in my eyes. Too embarrassed to take a photo of the dirty dishes which has bugs flying on top of them but I guess it's too much work for the employees to check up on the top floor so I'll let it pass.

Update: I revisited my review only in a matter of few hours because after finishing work, I still had some leftover coffee so I went downstairs and asked them to put some fresh ice in my coffee. The guy told me that as long as I stay in the coffee shop, they do free refills!! So he refilled my iced coffee all the way up! Woohoo! ☺️4 stars!

Great coffee and delicious corned beef hash!

Food is pretty good, though overpriced. Not much substance in my bacon egg and cheese sandwich, and the salmon and cream cheese bagel felt a bit stale. Still good though.

Where they really messed up was the coffee. Terrible tasting coffee, and I'm convinced the lattes were just the same terrible tasting coffee with a splash of milk.

So, I'd order the food again maybe but the coffee ruined the experience

Great staff, great food. In the morning random stuff on the menu could be the best you've ever had

Our Saturday morning routine is to come here with our grandchildren, get croissants, hot chocolates, coffee, and sit outside or upstairs just enjoying our food and drinks. The staff is very friendly and ready to accommodate for any special dietary needs. They offer a wide variety of breakfast/brunch items and specialty hot and cold drinks. After couple of visits we just got hooked, it's that awesome.

They take their mask policy and their breakfast sandwiches seriously! I love to see it. I also love the grilled muffins.

Would be great to see some vegan comfort food options. Corned beef hash but with Beyond Sausage? Pancakes?

I can't wait until they open seating back up as the upstairs space is phenomenal.

I’m from out of town and stopped here for breakfast after finding it on google, and I’m so glad I visited. The place itself is super cute. The staff was incredibly friendly and kind. And the coffee was absolutely AMAZING! So delicious. I had the coffee cake as well which I highly recommend! Definitely stop by if you find yourself in the area
