Great food experiences, the dishes were delicious, stared off the meal with the carne adovada fries and for sure 10/10 then we had the Dressed Up Pear Essentials, a uniquely built sandwich with poached pear, Brie and ham great tasting pick. We also tried out the daily special which was a French toast sandwich with fig jam and brie that was like a charcuterie board of flavor. Will most definitely be back

I’d suggest it to someone wanting a NM style breakfast!Staff was friendly and I was seated rather quickly for how busy they were. I ordered the Breakfast Burrito - David Style and a Latte. The latte was underwhelming, definitely milk heavy without any strong espresso notes. It tasted like coffee with lots of milk. It was also about 8oz, a bit small for almost $6. The food was good, not great. I enjoyed most of the components of the burrito. The bacon was flavorful and crunchy, potatoes were crisp and satisfying, and there was plenty of cheese.P.S. it looks like there is a barista who seems knowledgeable. Sometimes baristas in restaurants don’t get a say in equipment and beans they get to use. So perhaps this is just a matter of quality of tools and product than skill or technical error in my amateur opinion.TL;DR: it’s not bad. My latte was overpriced for what it was. Portion was generous and I left with a full belly. Would come back to try other menu items.

What exceptional food. The biscuits and gravy were used from ingredients from heaven. You can't get only one meal here despite being full or not. The food here is just too beast. Greg (I think he is the store manager) is a cool guy. They hired some of the best and friendly workers here. Restrooms are really clean. I like the sweet potato fries with blue cheese on it. The fat burritos (any burrito) are so damn tasty.

It's really good. I enjoyed my dish and so did my date. It was busy, and we felt a little rushed to free the table. Also when we arrived we were offered a very small table for 2. We asked if we could have a larger table, and the man was a little rude in giving us a 4 top. All in all, I would recommend this place for the food, and our server was kind.

Wait staff were very friendly and chill, and the atmosphere was very cute with local artists' paintings on the walls. The food was ok I could tell the potatoes and bacon in my burrito were not fresh and with the atmosphere and vibe the place gives I think they definitely need to up there game when it comes to the quality or the food. I will say this the chili was pretty darn good!

Sandwiches, soups, salads, burgers and breakfast all day!! Great place to eat. Something for everyone, including healthy options as well. The food was really good. I had a club sandwich that had nice, thick slices of bacon. The service was outstanding as well. Atmosphere wise you can't beat it. Has a nice open concept with indoor and outdoor seating. Will definitely visit again!!

Regrettably I do not know the kids name that served us Saturday morning. To say the least he was rude and curt. After taking our order another waiter filledy coffee (twice), then the other brought our food out (and refilled my coffee again) when I asked for the check Mr. Rudeness brought the wrong check. I asked the gentleman who had helped us to check on it and he brought the correct check. Yes I ripped the waiter that helped me, which only made Mr. Rudeness even ruder.Now that was just the service... If you have more money than you need and don't want to be treated well then this is the place for you. The portions are very small and the prices are not. Oh and the food you pay too much for isn't even that great.Bottom line stay away from The Daily Grind!!

Good breakfast - affordable. The service was excellent, super-friendly. Restaurant has ample parking and seating both inside and out. The music in the background offers a pleasant vibe. Some places in town can be overly noisy at breakfast. Not the case at The Daily Grind. Good coffee and smoky bacon. Yes, we'll be back. Biscuits need to come out of the oven a bit sooner - too brown, too crumbly! Would definitely recommend this business.Parking: Right in front of the business - plenty of spots at The Daily Grind.

The place is super cute and has a comfortable feel - it’s clear that it’s a favorite place for many locals by how many people were there for a Monday morning.Service was fast and nice, food tasted excellent! The burritos are big so I took the other half home for breakfast the next day. I had the regular burrito with veggies added and my friend had the vegan burrito.The only mark down for a star is because I just found a twist-tie in my burrito when I went to eat the other half today (a day later). Thankfully found it in a bite before chewing and didn’t swallow it - but otherwise finished most of the burrito lol.Vegetarian options: Vegan burrito

Nice patio. That’s about where the good ends.We didn’t see our server the entire meal after we ordered. Worst Philly I’ve ever had, wife’s breakfast wasn’t even what she ordered. Would have told the server if we’d ever seen her. Brought us our check without even asking how anything was. I guess a good move on her part.Lastly if you have any type of gunfire sensitivities give this place a pass, listened to gunshots from inside the place next door our entire meal.Won’t be back.

The food and service were both excellent. I liked the fact that they had vegan and vegetarian options that were thoughtful, carefully prepared, and delicious. One of my guests had traditional pancakes, which she enjoyed. My guests were pleased that we could enjoy a good brunch with great batista style coffees without having to go to two different establishments. They have a really pleasant outdoor space. The seating is not that comfortable, but that is minor. The staff was very comfortable modifying preparation for special diets. Everything was served hotband drinks were refilled.

Got here for a late lunch so it was too warm for coffee on the patio. It looked like a comfortable spot to eat. Our table had 2 salads that were large, tasty and beautiful. I had the mushroom and Swiss burger. It was as great as a sandwich could be. Definitely recommend.

Very good outside patio lunch! My dog was very comfortable and the server was very attentive for us being outside! Food was very tasty! Chile burger had red Chile and green Chile so you get the best of both! 🔥🔥

Fantastic experience! We were going to get takeout however we quickly realize that we wanted to enjoy it while it was hot! We decided to stay and eat on the patio and the kids absolutely loved all of the food. The staff was super friendly ( Michaela helped us with our order). Don’t miss out on this cute little cafe. Oh, and the patio is pet friendly!! 🐕

My experience was not good. I ordered the Old Fashioned Oatmeal. It was not good, the oatmeal tasted very bland but had a taste that wasn’t pleasant. The chai latte was also unenjoyable and only tasted of milk. The server came back 20 minutes after she dropped off the meal to check but by then I couldn’t order anything else because we had to leave so I left hungry and disappointed. My partner ordered the breakfast burrito and barely ate because it was too dry. The food may look appealing but not worth it. The ambiance was okay for a cafe.

WARNING: Flavorless food.We were traveling through and stopped by because they served breakfast until close at 3pm. We came in at 2:20 and I tried to order an espresso drink but that was no longer available. We order the $16 dollar breakfast burrito and 1/2 sandwich curry chicken and an Asian salad. The burrito had NO seasoning, and I know was put into a microwave to melt the cheese and maybe to warm up the entire burrito. The flour tortillas was not good either which was disappointing because we get really tasty tortillas when we vist NM.The Curry chicken sandwich was okay, but needed pepper and curry seasoning. We didn't want to keep the staff late so we left by 3 to stop for coffee. Highly recommend Humble Coffee just 1.5 miles off I40.

They serve a very American version of the huevos rancheros. It was a little bit bland and the chili had no bite whatsoever. So honestly the part I liked about it a lot was the fact that there was plenty of eggs in the huevos rancheros and so it made it very satisfying and fulfilling coffee is very good. The patio is amazing. Service was amazing. Next time I'll just order. Probably something different.

Far from the “chip on the shoulder” service that is sometimes served at some local eateries, the service at The Daily Grind is fab. The staff is friendly and attentive, but also witty (in a good way). Dining on the patio was a great way to take in some sun. Loved the bold and uplifting color palette. The Pear Essentials could have been livened up with a bit of dijon mustard, but really everything else was great; it wasn’t enough of an issue to lose any points. I do want to highlight though, the staff is what made this experience so great! Thank you for all your hard work. 💖

Food was good..service was ehhh. Almond joy coffee was cold..waited awhile before our order was taken. Too many flies for outdoor seating. Don't cut your lip on the chipped cup.

Parents perfect place for a play date. This is one of our favorite places. I was reluctant to review because I’m stingy with this place. The perfect spot if you have kids with a place for kids to play safely. It’s all gated so kids can’t escape. Toys and sand pit they could play with. Out doors area is partially covered and a large garage style door opens on nice days for the folks on the inside. Fresh baked goods, coffee, teas and lattes, the cold brew is so good. Get it with easy ice. Blood orange tea was awesome also. We love the French fries. So we typically order each fry and scatter them on the table and everyone goes to town. Burgers are fresh and big enough to make you come back for more. The servers are dope. Really cool folks and down to earth. Fast service also. A dedicated wall for local artists to showcase their work. Live music, couch area to lounge and overall fun friendly environment. P.s. I always forget to take photos of the food because I just dive in.. next time I will take all the photos of how good the food looks and tastes.

Beautiful patio, dog friendly, fast and extremely friendly service, great prices, quality food, $5 draft beer, perfect portions! This place is awesome! The only tiny complaint is that they consider Cholula "hot" sauce, come on we are in New Mexico, get some local actually HOT sauce lol. I will definitely be back!!
