I ordered delivery a few weeks ago and I was disappointed with the lack of flavor but we went today and ordered/sat at the restaurant and the food was tasty as ever. We loved the sidewalk seating and my little one thoroughly enjoyed and demolished her lemon muffin. The coffee was hot and the girls behind the counter were sweet as could be.

2nd time here. 1st time I ordered an iced tea and the So Cal sandwich. Idk what happened with the tea or the container they brewed it in but it was really bad. The So Cal was eh. Was small with barely any goat cheese which was a bit disappointing considering it’s 9 and change but whatever. Today I ordered a bagel with cream cheese. The cream cheese was fine but the bagel is one of those bagged store bought Thomas’ bagels which are also disappointing. Probably won’t be coming back.

Nice location and comfy atmosphere. The set up is basic. You place and pick up your order in the bottom floor and can eat there as well. Additional seating in the top floor. The coffee is solid. We ordered the steak bomb and the Texas french toast. Both done fast and very tasty. I would definitely go back. Street parking available but somewhat limited.

Why was my corn beef hash so grisly? The steak bomb meat too! That's disgusting. It wasn't like that some months ago. I had to throw it away. I've always enjoyed the food. The quality has definitely gone down. I will not buy again.

I got an egg plate the eggs were cooked totally wrong, home fries were just potatoes with no seasoning and bacon wasn't cooked all the way... Yuck

We enjoyed breakfast here, so nice that they are dog-friendly! Was busy when we went but super friendly service and a more quiet starting with table upstairs. Loved our coffee drinks, "the wrap" (with beyond sausage meet for veggie meat option), and California crossaint sandwich. The Reuben my husband got wasn't toasted enough, making the bread too soggy but otherwise 5 star experience!

Great coffee and delicious corned beef hash!

I enjoy the specialty egg sandwiches. My only gripe is the pricing. They charge you almost $11 for an egg sandwich with a “free drink.” No option to have an egg sandwich without the drink to pay less. I get the strategy to get people to pay more each time but it’s honestly a rip-off to do it that way.

They say their "Rubens (sic) are the best in town". While I can't yet attest to that since this was my first in town, I can say it's a darn good sandwich!There were three folks ahead of me ordering food and coffees but the line and the kitchen moved swiftly. Menus are listed on blackboards in various areas and offer a good selection of breakfasts, sandwiches, wraps, soups, and salads.I ordered a decaf, sugar-free latte and the Reuben. Of course, I had to try the town's best! The coffee is great so, yes, friends don't let friends drink Starbucks ;)I took my sandwich home which is less than a five-minute walk. It was still steaming hot! Piled high with corned beef, sweet sauerkraut, a spicy Russian dressing, and stringy Swiss cheese, I can see why they tout themselves as the best.The sandwich came with a bag of chips. Since they didn't ask, I figured it would be a bag of plain chips but instead. it was Sour Cream & Onion. I happen to really like that flavor so I was happy to see them in my bag.I look forward to many coffees from the Daily Grind as well as trying other items on their menu...next up: The Corned Beef Hash breakfast! I'm coming for ya!

Food is pretty good, though overpriced. Not much substance in my bacon egg and cheese sandwich, and the salmon and cream cheese bagel felt a bit stale. Still good though.Where they really messed up was the coffee. Terrible tasting coffee, and I'm convinced the lattes were just the same terrible tasting coffee with a splash of milk.So, I'd order the food again maybe but the coffee ruined the experience
