The Daily Grind - Reviews

I randomly ordered here on DoorDash for my birthday, and now it's my favorite breakfast spot to go. The chef does a great job!

My experience at this restaurant was marked by EXCELLENT service from the staff. The menu offered a wide variety of choices, ensuring there was something for everyone. The food arrived timely, fresh, and hot, which was greatly appreciated.

My experience at this restaurant has been a tale of two visits. On my first visit, I had the best vegetarian almond omelet I've ever had in San Diego. It was so amazing that I went back, and it was still freaking amazing. However, on a subsequent visit, something went wrong. It wasn't the same, and while it was still fresh and amazing, there were issues. When your omelet leaks on you from the veggies, it suggests the cooks don't know what they're doing. I don't like that one day I received the freshest, best omelet, and on another, everything went wrong. It's amazing on a good day, truly the best one you can get in San Diego. They call it the 'Garden Something. ' You should check it out.

Went for a spur-of-the-moment brunch date on a Sunday morning. Initially, I was a bit confused about parking, thinking there wasn't any because it's adjacent to Soapy Joe's, but they do have parking. We chose outdoor seating and there was no wait. The staff immediately greeted us and took our orders, offering amazing recommendations. The Horchata cold brew and Mexican mocha were absolutely delicious. I ordered a croissant sandwich, and while I forgot to take a picture because it was so good, the accompanying potatoes were also really tasty, seasoned with something I couldn't quite identify but were "freaking tasty" home potatoes. The staff was super pleasant, earning an 11/10. Definitely going again!

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was good, earning a 4 out of 5. However, the service was a significant letdown. Our waiter accidentally spilled hot syrup all over my arms and clothes. While I understand that mistakes happen, the restaurant's response was inadequate. They offered an apology but did nothing to compensate for the incident, leaving me to pay for the entire meal with my outfit stained and my arms sticky. The server herself was nice, but the establishment's failure to make things right was disappointing.

This place has a lot of potential, but a few things need to be addressed. The food variety and taste were both excellent—everything we ordered was delicious. Our waiter was friendly, and the location right off the main road is super convenient. However, the dining experience had some major downsides. Despite there being open tables, none were clean, so we had to sit down at a dirty table and wait while a table was bussed. The old plates and cups were removed, but there was still sticky honey all over the surface that we just avoided during our time. Also, the staff seemed under-resourced, and the restaurant felt expensive for what we got. I was also disappointed by the $4 upcharge for a fruit side with my breakfast sandwich since the fruit was mostly overripe watermelon and some off-tasting cantaloupe. The number of flies inside and out was also a big turn-off, and parking was a real hassle. Despite that, I would try it again, but maybe I'd do take out.

My experience at this awesome little spot was fantastic! They serve great sandwiches and great omelets. The service was A1, with Sam always providing great recommendations and being super helpful. The atmosphere was also a highlight, rated 5/5.

This was my father's favorite breakfast place for over a decade. I'm going to say the best Nutella pancakes I've ever had. I had the French toast, and my kid had the Mickey Mouse pancakes. I like the French toast the way they make it because it wasn't overly cooked all the way, with a soft center. Yum!

My experience at this restaurant was wonderful! I would definitely recommend this place. The service was lovely, and everyone was very friendly. The atmosphere was very homely and pleasant. I enjoyed the All American Breakfast and a Mexican Mocha; both were delicious! I would definitely visit this place again!

We love bringing our dogs and sitting outside or stopping in for a quick coffee. This is our go-to breakfast spot. The food received a perfect score of 5, and the service was also rated a 5. The atmosphere was rated 5, indicating a very pleasant environment. While parking can be somewhat difficult to find, it's a minor inconvenience for what seems to be a great experience overall.
