The Daily Grind Surf City

We have been vacationing in Topsail for a few years and we always make sure to stop here a few times while we are in town. Excellent coffees and incredibly friendly staff. They are always busy when we stop but they work quickly.

This place is fantastic. Great coffee, great baked goods. Cinnamon rolls are worth your time. Atmosphere is awesome. They moved from their older location in the last year or so which makes this even better. Up early at the beach and need a caffeine fix? Head here first. Walk right up to the beach while sipping if you desire.

A beach town gem!! Everything here is great and the people are super friendly with great customer service!

While visiting Topsail Island, make sure to stop and visit The Grind. Any type of coffee you can think of, they can make it. And don't forget the treats! From bagels to cinnamon rolls and everything in between are all top notch.

Hands down the best ice cream parlor I've been to.

Extremely helpful and friendly staff, large portions for a very good price, and absolutely delicious ice cream and coffee, with what must have been dozens of options.

They have a huge selection, a refined lounge area with local art, a bar, and much more. Highly recommended if you're in Surf City, even if for just a short stay.

Tight quarters but "ok" coffee. Coffee doesn't seem to be roasted in house. A bit expensive, so trying other local coffee places to see comparability.

Corina and RoJo make every visit here awesome ! We love the coffee and sitting out in the patio listening to music. Either live or taped. A great spot!!!

This place was really underwhelming. They didn’t have breakfast sandwiches and the cashier didn’t offer any explanation. She also took a long time to greet us because she was gossiping with her coworkers even though there was a huge line of people waiting. When I asked for a straw (for the coffee that’s kinda mediocre at best) another women gave me so much unnecessary attitude. Not a fan

Clean, friendly service, baby and family friendly, best iced coffee and breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. We will be back next time in town. Thanks for such a great experience!

Breakfast sandwiches and drinks were quite good, if a little pricey, but service was incredibly disappointing. One of our two drinks came out wrong, and rather than an apology and a replacement we were told that was what we ordered and that WE were wrong. All 3 members of our party heard the correct drink ordered. The iced latte was eventually replaced with the correct iced matcha, but only after one employee made a snide comment "she decided she wanted a matcha." We returned to our table only to find that this second drink was also wrong, made with whole dairy milk rather than oat. It neither looked like or tasted like the other oat milk matcha we had gotten initially, and so I returned it because it was for someone lactose intolerant. When I returned it to the counter, I was once again told I was wrong, and that they had made no mistake, and it was oat milk. No replacement was offered, even though I mentioned that it had to be oat milk due to allergy. I returned a second time several minutes later and was helped by a girl who seemed to be new, but was very kind and replaced the drink for us no questions asked. The girl who refused to replace our first drink saw me at the counter and very obviously ignored me.
