Reviews for Daily Grind in Albany, NY
The food seems decent but the latte is essentially warm milk that has a hint of coffee flavor. Liked the atmosphere and friendly... staff. Read more
Such a friendly, welcoming staff. A key part of my morning routine. Coffee, community, and delicious sandwiches. Love it! A... Center Square institution! Read more
Came to Albany from Chicago, both my wife and I are huge coffee nerds. Tried a few coffee places in the Wash Park area. This was... by far the best coffee, selection and staff we had in our 5 days. Huge breakfast and sandwich menu. Muffins can be grilled(toasted with butter) and all at a very reasonable price. Management was great as well. They accommodated us with a free coffeemug we wanted to buy but didn?t have in stock anymore. I wouldn?t ask if they have more because they don?t have anymore. Willcome again if in Albany again! Thanks to the Daily Grind! Read more
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 herlemon muffin. The coffee was hot and the girls behind the counter were sweet as could be. Read more
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 disappointingconsidering it?s 9 and change but whatever. Today I ordered a bagel with cream cheese. The cream cheese was fine but the bagelis one of those bagged store bought Thomas? bagels which are also disappointing. Probably won?t be coming back. Read more
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. Bothdone fast and very tasty. I would definitely go back. Street parking available but somewhat limited. Read more
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 movedswiftly. 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 greatso, yes, friends don't let friends drink Starbucks ;) I took my sandwich home which is less than a five-minute walk. It wasstill steaming hot! Piled high with corned beef, sweet sauerkraut, a spicy Russian dressing, and stringy Swiss cheese, I can seewhy 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 bagof plain chips but instead. it was Sour Cream & Onion. I happen to really like that flavor so I was happy to see them in mybag. I look forward to many coffees from the Daily Grind as well as trying other items on their menu...next up: The Corned BeefHash breakfast! I'm coming for ya! Read more
Love this amazing hole-in-the-wall cafe! Not a coffee drinker personally, but the smoothies and tea are delicious, and the staff... is super friendly, helpful, and accommodating with orders. The pricing is also -extremely- reasonable, and it is now my go-tocafe downtown. Read more
