The Daily Grind Brunch has no reason for going this hard. Their Corned Beef can't be conquered and matcha latte is unmatched!

Looking forward to drinking their coffee on my next visit!☕

Daily Grind takes classic brunch staples and gives them a Southeast Asian twist. The result is creative, colorful and fun.

Let’s start with the drinks. The Vietnamese coffee with ube foam? Incredible. Rich, sweet, and bold with a fluffy, purple cloud on top. I could have easily ordered another. I also tried the salted butterscotch drink, which was fine, but next to the Vietnamese coffee, it didn’t stand a chance.

Food-wise, we sampled a few things. The Viet Madame sounded amazing on the menu. It’s their version of a croque madame with Vietnamese-spiced pork. In reality, it was just okay. The Benny, on the other hand, was a knockout. Imagine a perfect croissant turned into eggs Benedict. Flaky, buttery, and exactly what you want it to be. The ube French toast also deserves a shoutout. Lightly crisped, topped with strawberries, mango, and more of that dreamy ube foam. Easily a standout.

The vibe is super casual. We sat on the patio, which felt a bit bland but worked for a sunny morning. I didn’t see the interior. Service was on point. Not overly warm but efficient and quick.

If you’re in the mood for brunch that plays with bold flavors and isn’t afraid to mix things up, Daily Grind delivers. Just make sure something with ube makes it to your table.

Such a cozy and thoughtful spot! The tea selection is fantastic—presented in glass sample tubes so you can smell each one before choosing. I love that the menu even shows the caffeine content for each tea, which is a really nice touch. It’s clear they put a lot of care into the experience, from the curated blends to the friendly service and handwritten tip jar. Great for a relaxed brunch or a quality tea break.

While the service was solid and the restaurant was quite nice I recall being underwhelmed by the flavor of the crab meat in my dish.

Been wanting to check this place out for some time and *tried* to on Saturday but did not have a great experience at all.

We put our names down on the wait list and was told it would be a 20-30min wait, which is understandable since it was a Saturday. We were in a bit of a rush since my significant other had an engagement he was speaking at later that day. However, we knew we had enough time even with the wait. We sat down around 1:50pm which would give us an hour to order and eat. We sat down at the same time as another table did and we ordered right away. My coffee came out right away but as we waited for our food, we noticed the time passing and also noticed the other table who sat down at the same time as us, was well into their meal. I then tried getting the waitress’ attention but she didnt pay attention to us at all. I tried to get up to tell her but she again ignored me. Then when she finally noticed, she quickly says 5min to me, as she is walking away from us at the same time. We also notice another table that sat down a good half an hour after us, get their food. My partner got up and walked straight to where the kitchen is to see if they even had our order at this point, cuz if they didn’t we were just going to leave. They then gave him a half ass “sorry”, and told him that they are about to make it now. My partner was clearly hangry at this point, said don’t bother and we left. We then had to rush outta there and home without eating so that he could make his prior commitment, which he had to do with just an apple and granola bar in his stomach. We wasted about an hour and a half on this place and still didn’t get to eat. Mistakes happen all the time and we are very reasonable people, but you have got to have some sort of customer service skills. Very disappointed and will not be back.

Just discovered Daily Grind, and I’m already obsessed! This place is a total hidden gem. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every bite felt like it was made with care.
What really sets Daily Grind apart, though, is the service. The staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive without being overbearing, and genuinely friendly. You can tell they love what they do, and it creates such a warm, relaxed atmosphere.

If you’re looking for a spot with amazing food and even better vibes, Daily Grind is it. Already planning my next visit!
