About The Daily Grind Cafe

The Daily Grind Cafe offers a moderately priced American breakfast menu with good service and friendly staff. The cozy and spacious atmosphere is perfect for a peaceful breakfast or lunch date. The outside patio dining area is easily accessible with wheelchair-friendly features. The restaurant serves big portions of delicious food like steak omelette, Philly steak, breakfast burritos, Nutella waffle, and chicken fried steak. Customers have raved about the fluffy chocolate chip pancakes, savory breakfast potatoes, and the Irish eggs benedict. Additionally, the wrapped piggies, which include eggs, bacon, and sausage rolled inside pancakes, have been noted as superb. Many said the Nutella pancakes are the best they've ever had, and the French toast is made with a soft center, not overly cooked. The service is friendly, creating a homely and pleasant atmosphere, making it a great spot for a peaceful breakfast or lunch.

However, some experiences highlight areas for improvement. Despite having open tables, some were not clean, with sticky honey still on the surface, requiring diners to wait or avoid certain spots. The staff appeared under-resourced, and the restaurant felt expensive for the portions and quality. An upcharge for a fruit side was noted, with some fruit being overripe and off-tasting. Parking can be challenging, and there were concerns about flies inside and outside. Nonetheless, many customers enjoy the big portions of tasty food and the welcoming environment created by the owners, with some planning to return for take-out or another visit.
