This coffee shop is apart of the lunch crews cycle. Needless to say I’ve been here several times, we always get the Tomato caprese’ sandwich. To wash it down, I order the iced chai most times. The restaurant/café itself has a nice feel to it, I’m a sucker for that rustic/hipster feel. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not super hipster in there, more cozy. If you aren’t one for coffee, they tend to have a pretty lady at the juice bar, looking to concoct fresh juices of your choice. The restrooms are always tidy. Another Non-Starbucks coffee shop for the win.

Great little shop. They have excellent coffee for a great price. Not a lot of seating area, but still serviceable. Highly recommend!

I chose this café because I can take my dog with me! And I love it!!! I had Feta & spinach breakfast menu. This is my favorite breakfast sandwich ever()I will definitely go back with my dog!

Best thing, they allow dogs inside, that in itself earned them 5 stars. As for the breakfast, I had the oatmeal, it was really good, filling, great way to start the day. My wife had the pierres wrap, egg whites, spinach and avocado, it was really good as well. Now let’s talk about the chai tea lattes we had. Starbucks has Nothing on this place. One of the best chai tea lattes I’ve ever had. We will definitely be back. Thanks.

I signed up for Unilocal just to review this place as I was very unsatisfied by my experience there. First the service. I can’t stand it when you walk up to the register and the person just stands there, not even greets you, and just looks at the screen while talking to somebody else that works there. I didn’t know if she was ready to take my order or just looking at something on the screen. So then after a few seconds she looks up(still not saying a word to me) and just stares at me. I then assumed that meant she was ready to take my order. I planned on being there a while so I ordered a large drink. The only thing she said to me at that point(and actually the whole time I was there) was if I wanted a receipt. Once that was done she goes to make it. When I get it I say thank you to her and she just walks off without even acknowledging me. Whatever. Second the drink. It was just OK. Considering I spent $ 6.54 on the drink + tip I think it should’ve been a lot better. It should’ve also been a lot bigger. If that was their large I would hate to see their small! The ambiance was good, typical coffee shop but the service and the coffee was not acceptable. The location was great so you would think they would have a stellar coffee shop. I won’t be going back since there are several other coffee shops that have better coffee and friendlier service. I would have done much better at the Starbucks across the street.

This is one of the best places to have business meetings with people. They have an open space, many choices of food, drinks, desserts, and the staff is very friendly. I love the juice bar. It adds a healthy alternative that many other places do not have. It is a great place to network. I highly recommend this place as one of the best places to have your meetings for networking.

I’ve worked in Town Center for years & this has been my go to coffee and lunch spot! There is lot and street parking right in front, or you can park in the Cosmopolitan garage and walk in from the back. I love my people here at the a Daily Grind! It’s definitely a place where regulars come to hang out. They’ve definitely improved a lot over the years. They offer a variety of fresh baked goods, sandwiches, paninis, salads, and their drink selection is huge! I think what makes this place so great is their awesome staff. Everyone is so down to earth and make sure you’re given the best customer service. Special shout out to Alexa for always making my iced coffee PERFECT. Lera for making yummy sandwiches, and Emily for baking the amazing and pretty desserts. If you’re ever shopping in the area, definitely give this place a try!

Overpriced. In a rush I came in for a bagel I saw that it was 1.99 and wasn’t bothered by that. When the total came to 3.50 I was shocked. Why the high price, the cream cheese of course. Except it wasnt listed on the menu that it was extra, it said bagel w/butter, pb or cream cheese. I pointed this out and it didnt phase him at all. Update your pricing to reflect your practices or honor what the board says.

Very good latte with an okay muffin. Nice service from a polite gal who very quickly prepared my coffee after asking if I wanted it here or to go. I wouldn’t say«I’m a fan» as it was more«A-OK.» Good location in Town Center though. Street parking was available early on a weekday morning.

I love my Town Center, but this coffee shop on my first visit did not impress me at all. Location is terrific on the main drag with great off street parking. Surprisingly this has not been a coffee shop I have been excited to try. But when in TC last week I thought why not. There is patio seating and I found the walks and entry clear. You can feel free to bring your pup too! The shop has a comfortable feel with wood floors, table and chairs and even a juice bar in the rear. The counter for ordering is to the left and has a pastry case too. Every table not in use was clean and no debris on the floor. I also utilized the restroom which was in great shape with proper supplies. The two women assisting me were nice enough and took care of my order quickly. I requested a white chocolate mocha and apple fritter. I found a seat and did some people watching as customers came in and out. A few of the tables were occupied, but the place was pretty slow around 9AM. My apple fritter was warmed up and put on a plate and was good, not great. It was overly chewy. Within 5 minutes my coffee was up and looked great. However, it tasted like hot water no flavor at all. I requested it be made again as it seemed that the shot did not pull correctly. It was made again with supposedly another shot. But again it no flavor. The barista was nice enough, no issues with attempting to make it right and claimed it was due to their time of beans. They do have more than just breakfast coffee and pastry. The Daily Grind offers lunch items along with wine and beer. So, maybe I can try them out and provide an upgrade soon.

I’ve went there for the first time bc my classmates and coworkers rave about this place and brag about their juice that they’ve gotten. The place is located in Town center near Royal Chocolate and across from Ruths Chris. I went there during lunch time and the place was poppin! They have 2 different specific areas to order: one for Coffee, food etc… and other looking rustic hut area serves juices and smoothies right into a jar. The associate who helped and served me suggested the«juicy greens» which consisted alot of good green veggies but also with fruits that help balance a great taste. When you taste it, to me I thought I was going to be sweet bc the fruits might overpower the greens in the juice, but actually you can really taste everything in there. They shake it into a cocktail shaker and serve it chilled right into a jar. The jar is reusable, and is a great sustainable design. It can get a little pricey, If you go there Daily, bc each juice is like almost $ 8, but overall, Great customer service, thumbs up!!! I will come back again and try other selections.

Deliciously overpriced. The menu made me feel slightly remedial, as it wasn’t easy on the eyes for me. I feel like it should either be very detailed or extremely simplified. I ignored it and ordered what I typically get at any Starbucks, minus the lingo. I enjoyed a small iced vanilla chai latte. Not too much ice, but probably too much syrup; it was way sweet. And a little more milk than I’m used to – It wasn’t mixed well; that was visible in the streaks. Still I drank it in a flash and wished I’d ordered a large. That’s how tiny the cup was, and then it cost more than Starbucks. That hurt the most.

Pretty trendy from the outside — continued on the inside. Located in Town Center right across from the parking lot area near the Funny Bone and Ruth’s Chris. I wandered in on Friday afternoon after picking up my Komen for the Cure race packet at the Sandler center and figured I’d scratch that itch for something iced and caramel. The menu listed is very nondescript and doesn’t provide much in the way of the drinks offered and various speciality things — I suppose you just know what you want before you go in or you make it up and they’ll do it. The gal working behind the counter was REALLY boho hippie-fied and wasn’t overtly rude to me but she wasn’t very helpful when I asked some questions either. Case in point: I asked her about the Halloween drinks I saw on a poster behind the counter, she said«We have a pumpkin caramel drink, a carmel drink, stuff like that…» Um, wtf kind of answer is that? How am I supposed to order a drink that isn’t on the menu and she didn’t tell me what it is? Then I asked about some of the myriad of speciality drink posters all around the store that had drinks like, honey maple latte, dulce de leche steamer, mint drinks, toffee coffee, etc. etc. and she said yeah, if you see one you like we can do it. W.T.F. Now I realize some folks like to go in coffee shops and make shit up, and I also realize some folks who drink coffee like 45 times a week know all these secret delicious things to order that aren’t on the menu, but I don’t do that. Coffee stains my teeth and it makes me pee a lot so I drink it rarely and only when I’m really craving it. So that elitist coffee snob stuff is irritating to me on the highest level. I ended up going with the iced dulce de leche and it was delicious. But still… while the chick wasn’t rude to me, she wasn’t going out of her way to be helpful either(and it wasn’t crowded — it was 2pm on a sunny warm day).

very cute shop, i am disappointed to have to say this, here it goes: i paid almost $ 5 for a small chai latte with soy. it took 15 for them to make it and it wasn’t busy at all. i picked it up, it felt very light. when i took the lid off, it was full of foam! i understand lattes have foam on them but this was way too much. when i tasted it, it was very bland and they did NOT use the soy that I paid almost a $ 1 more for. it tasted like warm milk with a splash of chai. i really wanted to like this place and was hoping for at least half decent. i met up with some girlfriends there. they were not as disappointed as i was with their order except that it took so long(a smoothie and black coffee) sadly, we will not be returning.
