Daily Grind is a charming restaurant located just south of Bloor, offering a quiet patio experience on weekdays. The menu is concise yet extensive, featuring classic brunch options and sandwiches, with an interesting and delicious take on breakfast standards. Plates are carefully presented, making them look like they were taken from a photoshoot. The restaurant is small but comfortable, with a welcoming vibe and friendly service. Popular dishes include the chicken sandwich with home fries, pancakes with lemon curd, and the crab with egg. The Vietnamese coffee with ube foam is incredible—rich, sweet, and bold, topped with a fluffy purple cloud—and pairs perfectly with the food. The brunch menu has a Southeast Asian twist, making the dishes colorful and fun. The Benny, on a flaky croissant, is a knockout, and the ube French toast, topped with strawberries and mango, is a standout. The atmosphere is casual, with patio seating ideal for sunny mornings. Service is generally efficient and quick, ensuring a pleasant experience. While there may be wait times during peak hours, especially on weekends, the wait is often worth it for the stellar food and atmosphere. This cozy spot is highly recommended for those looking for a creative brunch with bold flavors and great drinks. Recent reviews highlight the wonderful experience, with friendly staff who truly care about guests. The coffee and food have received praise, though some concerns were noted about the potatoes and steak preparation. Overall, Daily Grind remains a great choice for brunch lovers.
