The Daily Grind

Let's me start off by saying that our server Cole was very attentive, friendly and responsive! High five to this guy!!!The Inside is inviting and clean!The omelette was as expected.. fluffy and well stuffed! The Cubano brought back that island feel! Good job Daily Grind. And let's talk parking.. HUGE parking. Spots were large and very safe! Highly recommended! next time I gotta get the shepherds pie!

Worst restaurant I've been to in New Mexico. The staff is friendly and competent but the food and beverages are not up to par. Our sandwiches and coffee bar drinks were just not good on any scale. The ingredients were subpar, small, and just not tasty.

We haven't been to Daily Grind in many years. We just don't get over here often. The food was good, flavorful and served hot. I really like their menu. They have unique combinations. The cafe has a lot of art on the wall and is very open and airy with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was good. Our server was very busy so it took a little longer for drink refills. He was very nice and friendly. Bathrooms are clean too. Definitely recommend them but be patient. They are definitely popular. I was a little disappointed their limited baked goods. In the past (like 5+ years ago) they had this Carmel cake that was amazing!

I have been here a few times since my first visit. Overall, the food quality and the ambiance of the place deserve high marks. Sometimes, however, service lags a bit. Today, for example, I went alone for a quick brekkie. I seated myself, (was confused about the basket with utensils by the door) grabbed utensils, and took a seat. The "greeter" came with water and a menu. I told him I knew what I wanted so he took my order, while explaining he was the greeter not a server. I waited about 10 minutes for my plate of food. The eggs were warm not hot, the potatoes were a bit undercooked and not hot, the 2 pieces of bacon were done, but not hot. The english muffin - you know it was not hot. I don't know if my food sat for a bit, but unfortunately, it left me wondering why I bothered to have breakfast out this morning. Also, I have to admit, I don't like their potatoes all that much. I prefer the standard shredded potato patties. My favorite place to have them (and breakfast altogether) is at the Sandia Golf Cafe.

Big selection of coffee drinks. After I ordered an Americano I kinda wished I had gotten a Dirty Chai. Next time. Good service. The portions are really big. Got the Breakfast Burrito David's Style, cheistmas. Wasn't too big a fan of their red chile, I'll get green only next time. Big dining hall type atmosphere. Local art on the walls.

My Sunday morning bagel brunch was delicious and the service was friendly and consistent while I sat at the bar at the Daily Grind. The noise level was a bit much for me inside. There was outdoor seating available, but it was still a bit chilly out.

Absolutely amazing coffee and food!! The people were so kind!! I will be coming back whenever I drive across the country again.

Another beautiful fall day in central New Mexico finds the boys from the VA creative writing group at another local favorite. Join Tom Neiman and a few of his besties, enjoying themselves with various food orders. It is worth visiting this fine establishment. Watch the trailing YouTube video link to see what we ate and raved about. An interesting atmosphere and excellent service are complemented by the Daily Grind's ample parking lot. Try them - you won't regret it. https://youtu.be/UGmCmtbuC9Y?si=yp66hpWj-hRVNho7

This was my first time trying The Daily Grind and I'm really happy that I did.When I arrived I was a little concerned because it was very busy, as most restaurants in Albuquerque are on a Sunday morning. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn't need to wait for a table. They have a super cute patio that is rather large and well landscaped. They have a lot of shade sails all around to keep the patio cool and out of the direct sun. The atmosphere was really pleasant.I waited for a few minutes for the hostess as they were very busy but I waited less than five minutes. My companion arrived and we were immediately seated.Not surprisingly, I opted for the carne adovada breakfast burrito. It was absolutely delicious. My burrito included scrambled eggs, home fries, beans, cheddar, chile, flour tortilla and was smothered with green and red chile and cheese. My companion had the Cheddar French BLT which includes cheddar french toast, bacon, lettuce, tomato topped with an egg and served with home fries. She also opted to add the raspberry purée which was recommended by the server. I guess it was delicious because it was gone by the end of the meal!This spot has some interesting menu choices. This includes the cheddar BLT but they also have savory oatmeal, a yogurt parfait, and a build-your-own omelette option, along with many other choices.While I opted for the strawberry lemonade I understand that their coffee options are delicious and favored by many. This is definitely a place that I will be patronizing again. It's a great spot with terrific food, reasonable prices, numerous options, including vegan options, and great service. Ample parking is also available.I highly recommend this spot for brunch on the patio!

Service C- Got water. Came back and took our drink order, iced tea. Didnt ask if we were ready to order food, we were. Back and forth looking over at us 3x. Ran some food though 2 others were running food. Wasn't busy an hr before closing. Cleanliness - F- DISGUSTING...like shocking Real bummer. Used to be so much nicer.
