The breakfast came with three sausage links but they tasted really strange. Definitely not like normal. The Cajun Home Fries had an off-putting taste as well and no amount of ketchup or fry sauce was going to help them. The scone and the egg were probably the only decent things in the entire meal but neither one stood out above average. Overall I would not recommend this place very highly nor do I plan on returning. After eating here I'm thinking breakfast will be off limits for quite a while due to the unappetizing taste leftover in my mouth.

We stopped at Daily Rise Coffee Company in Layton while we were in the area this week helping move…read moreour daughter, and I'm so glad we did! There were a couple of things that made the experience a little challenging. The parking lot was PACKED, and getting in was honestly a bit of a nightmare, especially since we aren't familiar with the area. But honestly, that's a pretty good problem for a business to have! The other thing that confused me was the menu. I had a really hard time finding the actual drink menu, both online and when looking on Yelp. There was one picture of the menu on Yelp, but part of it was blocked, and I still wasn't really sure what all the drink options were. Maybe I just wasn't looking in the right place, but it definitely wasn't obvious to me. Luckily, my daughter and her boyfriend knew exactly what they wanted, so we got their drinks, and Sean ordered the same thing as my daughter's boyfriend. I asked the woman working the counter what she recommended, went with her suggestion, and WOW...we were impressed! Once we actually got up to the window, I really loved the whole vibe. It's such a cute little drive-through setup with windows on both sides, and they moved through the line really quickly. The whole experience felt friendly and welcoming, and I really enjoyed the ambience. Now that we know the routine and how everything works we will be back!! The coffee was SO good. Great flavor, and the service was fantastic. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and my drink was definitely one I could have gone back for another one of. I seriously considered it, but it was about a 10-15 minute drive away, so I resisted. Even with the parking and menu frustrations, I'm still giving Daily Rise 5 stars because when the coffee is that good and the service is that great, I'm willing to overlook the little inconveniences. Would absolutely stop here again if we're in the area!

Grounds for Coffee - Layton Location Review…read more Grounds for Coffee is one of my go-to spots whenever friends or family visit, so I was excited to try the Layton location for the first time. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations. We ordered three drinks: a cappuccino, an iced honey lavender latte, and an iced dirty chai (decaf). First, the drinks were mislabeled -- the honey lavender latte was marked as decaf, but it was actually the dirty chai that was decaf. This led to confusion, but more importantly, the flavors were off. I've enjoyed the hot versions of the dirty chai and honey lavender latte many times before, but these iced versions tasted nothing like what I'm used to from other locations. The cappuccino was okay, and the place itself looked nice. The staff member we interacted with was friendly, which I appreciate. But sadly, the drinks just didn't deliver the same quality or taste I've come to love from Grounds for Coffee.

Drinks & Appetizers: The highlights of the visit were definitely the drinks. I ordered the Watermelon Dragon Fruit Margarita--the Tajín rim gave it a fantastic flavor contrast, making it really delicious. My husband had a pineapple coconut drink that he thoroughly enjoyed as well. They also brought out a basket of bottomless fries right after our drinks arrived so he could get started, which was a nice touch. (My bottomless broccoli side didn't come out until the main meal arrived.) The Food: Unfortunately, the entrees were pretty disappointing: Cheeseburger: My husband liked how juicy the patty was, but it came piled with an excessive amount of onions. They kept falling out everywhere, making the whole burger a hot mess to eat. Cajun Salmon: I ordered this hoping for some kick, but it was surprisingly plain and very bland--hardly any Cajun flavor or spice at all. Service & Experience: Service was sparse throughout the meal; our waitress only stopped by our table a handful of times. My husband was hoping to get a refill on his bottomless fries, but by the time she dropped off the check without asking if we needed anything else, we knew we weren't getting any more. Between the bland entree, messy burger build, and absent service, we probably won't be back.

I went to get a table while my friend ordered for us. I noticed a sign that said no modifications, but figured I'd have her ask if a plain cheeseburger would be okay instead, figuring that's more of an exclusion than a modification. I was just thrilled that they had the option of gluten free bread. The lady behind the counter said that would be fine and that it wouldn't be an issue for it to come plain. Fast forward to us getting our food, and it's an absolutely loaded burger. I don't mean to sound like a stuck up jerk, but I have food allergies that do not let me have those items on a burger!! It felt pretty shady to have the person running the counter say "yes, we can do that" to get our money when it was a flat out lie. So of course, my friend goes up to the counter (it was on her dime, after all) and asks why we were told one thing and given another. The woman running the counter says, "we don't do modifications, she can pick it off herself. We don't do special treatment." This is the same woman who told us that something so simple would be alright. Incredibly poor service, awful customer relations, and I had to throw my burger away after all of it.
