We said "no". After we finished there, we went over and tried Brown Dog. My wife had a caramel macchiato and I had an apple pie latte. We also got two sausage, egg and cheese croissants. Neither one of us could taste coffee in our drinks. They were too sweet. It was like drinking sugar water. Neither one of us finished our drinks and threw them away. The croissants were way too small. The only thing that this place had going for it was that it was on the main street and was bigger. It was freezing cold inside as well. I don't think we will be back.

I went with the Jamaican Me Crazy which had caramel, vanilla, and Kahlua with whipped cream. It was good!

The atmosphere is definitely old-school and has more of a cafeteria feel, but honestly, that's part of what makes this place special. The food is what keeps us coming back. Everything tastes like genuine Southern home cooking, and my absolute favorites are the smothered pork chops and BBQ ribs--both are so good and full of that down-home flavor you just can't beat. It may not be the fanciest place, but that's not why you come here. You come for the delicious food, generous portions, and that warm, grandma's-cooking feeling. Every time we're in Wallace, this is a must-stop for us. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for real, comforting Southern cooking!

The vibe was welcoming and exactly what you'd hope for from a local beach coffee shop. The staff were friendly and made us feel right at home. We ordered a couple of cold brews, bagels, a bacon, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich, and a cinnamon roll. Everything was fresh and hit the spot. The cinnamon roll was good, though compared to some of the best I've had I'd give it about a 7.6/10. Overall, Daily Grind is definitely worth a visit if you're in Surf City. Great coffee, friendly service, and a laid-back beach-town atmosphere make it an easy recommendation.

The coffees are wonderful- multiple days we got an iced chai with 2 shots of espresso and Nutella flavoring. It's delicious.

The eggs were not seasoned so the sandwich overall was just okay. All of the bacon was on one end of the sandwich. On a croissant it was kinda bland. The workers are all very nice and the inside is clean and fun. We definitely recommend stopping in for their drinks!!

We ordered a cappuccino, a latte, a zucchini muffin, and a cheese biscuit. The bill came to $29, including a $5 tip. The cappuccino was tiny and tasted like lukewarm burnt dirt with a faint Starbucks aftertaste (I hate Starbucks). My wife said the latte was merely okay. The zucchini muffin and cheese biscuit were both terrible--almost certainly baked sometime last week. Even after we warmed them in the microwave, one bite was enough. Dry, stale, and with a flavor that's hard to describe without being unkind. The music was so loud at 7 a.m. on a holiday Monday that you had to shout at the baristas to be heard. And that "beautiful" outdoor area? Every seat and table was wet. Nothing had been wiped down. Hard to believe this place sits at 4.9 stars. I'm doing them a favor by giving them two. Just another mediocre Wilmington spot that's easy to skip next time.
