Just finished a large drip coffee and chocolate croissant at the Daily Grind in Burlington, North Carolina and they were amazing. If you are in the area stop in for a great cup and a warm welcoming atmosphere. read more

I had high hopes for this place because a friend highly recommended it and even gave me a stamp card for a free drink. First impressions? Nothing on the menu really jumped out at me. The options somehow felt both limited and all over the place at the same time. Not many frappes, and nothing that made me think, I have to try that. So I asked the barista what he'd recommend. He pointed one out and was friendly enough, but he also seemed mildly irritated that I was a first timer ordering in the drive thru, like I was somehow holding up the line...except there wasn't a single car behind me. I also grabbed one of their pastries. He took my card, asked if I wanted it heated up, I said, "Yes, please," and then disappeared to, I assumed, make my drink. Then I waited. And waited. Ten minutes later I'm literally trying to peek through the drive thru window because...WTF? I ordered an iced coffee and a pre-made pastry. There were two baristas casually walking around, nobody inside except people already drinking their coffee, and the place wasn't busy at all. Finally, another barista came to the window with my drink and said they were "just waiting on the pastry." At this point I'm thinking...are they back there milling the flour and rolling the dough themselves? Five more minutes go by. She finally hands me the pastry...still in the container from whatever bakery actually made it. And it's cold. So basically all they had to do was grab it off a shelf and hand it to me. By the time I drove away, most of the ice in my coffee had already melted. Even watered down, though, it was just...bland. The coffee itself wasn't robust at all, and I couldn't really taste the coconut flavor that was supposed to be the specialty of the drink. The bearded guy who took my order never came back, either. Maybe he got pulled away, maybe he didn't, but it honestly felt like he just couldn't be bothered finishing my order. The whole experience was just disappointing. The flavors, the customer service, and a 15-minute wait for an iced coffee and a grab-and-go pastry when the place wasn't even busy? Hard pass. I drive all the way from Gibsonville to Mebane now just to get coffee from The Habit, and it's worth every extra minute. Better atmosphere, friendlier service, and honestly...just way better coffee. read more

Stopped by while running some errands for a mid afternoon pick me up and the Daily Grind was perfect. Super nice staff and great selection of drinks. I got one of the spring specials when we stopped by and chose the strawberry shortcake cold brew. It was a nice and refreshing drink and has me wanting to come back for more!! read more

The Daily Grind - Strawberry short cake cold brew - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

I was so happy my travels led me here! I love this coffee shop, but I'm not often in the area so I don't get to stop by as much as I would like. They have a new cereal drink lineup and it didn't disappoint. They do have drive-through service if you're not able to physically go in the staff is always so helpful with drink recommendations. I've never had a bad drink. Definitely make an effort to stop by if you're in the area you won't be disappointed. read more

I am so happy to have found this little gem. I searched for coffee shops on the way to Winston and found this tucked away right off the highway less than a mile away. Located in a strip mall by Walmart, once you go inside, the decor transports you into a tranquil oasis perfect for working, meeting a friend for coffee, or enjoying one of their many offerings on a solo date. Starting with their chocolate croissant--WOW. Really happy with their to-go containers, too. Their seasonal lattes are many, along with their many offerings around the year. I had the gingerbread latte and it was fantastic. Great service, fair pricing, lots of choices. read more

| Overview + Fairly fast service + Convenient location near Walmart & other shops - Dirty Thai Latte is an insult to Thai tea lovers - Toasted Coconut Latte lacks toasty flavor & creaminess - Cheap-looking tables & chairs outside make this place uninviting. | Full Review My girl & I were looking for a decent coffee shop after eating lunch at Golden Corral for Father's Day, and found The Daily Grind to be the closest after searching here on Yelp after seeing decent reviews, but this was the 2nd time this month where the reviews didn't seem to match our taste. My Queen ordered iced Toasted Coconut Latte, which is a blend of coconut syrup, shots of espresso with milk of choice. I ordered the iced Dirty Thai Latte, which is described to be a blend of "house-batched Thai tea, sweetened confensed milk, 2 or 3 shots of espresso, touch of milk, topped with house-made whip. Both beverages are under the "Summer Specials" section of The Daily Grind's menu and can also be served hot; sadly, there's nothing special about these drinks. We ended up paying around $16+ for both drinks (with $1 tip included). The Dirty Thai Latte mixed with shots of espresso sounds like a unique idea, a rare kind of drink that only true coffee/tea connoisseurs could create, but instead, what I tasted was a failed experiment. The drink did not taste like authentic Thai tea; it lacked flavor and tasted watery. The blend with the coffee is a disaster, and for the first time ever, I ended up throwing my drink at home, unfinished, only consuming about 35% of it. I also could not taste the condense milk that it's supposed to have. My girl's drink was a bit better compared to mine - which isn't really saying much. She also did not finish hers but she drank more than me. I took a couple of sips of her drink, and while I could taste the coconut flavor from the syrup, this latte lacked the toasty flavor we got from Common Grounds at downtown Apex (see my 5-star review of that). It also tasted watery and lacked the bold richness we expect from a high quality coffee. As for the ambiance, it's a small space inside; we don't mind small coffee shops as long as they have a nice, chill vibe. While the interior looks well-lit and clean, the chairs & tables outside look uncomfortably flimsy. Who would want to chill outside there? An ideal coffee shop is supposed to recharge, revitalize, and re-energize us before we get back to our "daily grind" but disappointingly, this place failed to provide that experience in our quick visit. | Overall Score: 0.2/5 read more

The Daily Grind - Dirty Thai Latte & Toasted Coconut Latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

Cute, local coffee shop located in Burlington near the Walmart. I ordered a ginger muffin and a small hot chocolate. Everything tasted very good! Staff is friendly with upbeat attitudes. The coffee shop is intimate with a few tables inside and outside. It was buzzing when I was there, but I was able to have a conversation and not overhear anyone else's. The shop was decorated inside for Valentine's Day. There's a small parking lot outside the shop and the place also has a drive thru. Highly recommend if you'd like to support a local business! read more

I AM OBSESSED with this Local Burlington coffee shop, so much so that for the first time in my life I have made it through a punch card!!!! I am looking forward to my free coffee on my next visit!!! I have been to this coffee shop just about every week since discovering it and sometimes twice a week! I've had just about EVERY SEASONAL DRINK between fall and now (Valentine's menu) and haven't had a drink miss yet! Honestly couldn't tell you which one has been my favorite because all the drinks, hot, cold, shaken, coffee, and matcha have been sooooo good! If I had to pick I would say the seasonal strawberry matcha has been a fave (I've gotten it multiple times this season)! My husband has also learned (without me telling him) that if he wants to surprise me in the morning to grab me a drink from here before work!!! The staff is super sweet and love that all of their ingredients are local, they have local business cards, and also sell local items. This is truly a BUY LOCAL HOT SPOT. Also, I can't forget to mention THE VIBES of this shop. It was honestly LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT when I saw the pink & neutrals decor, not to mention their winter holiday "Jolly Grind" decor is a holly jolly MUST SEE!!!! Even when I'm deep in my everyday Daily Grind, I treat myself with this shop if I want to clear my mind or have a little weekend me time!!!! read more

Excellent coffee, wonderfully easy to order beans and their selection of flavored beans is outstanding.

I absolutely love the pink interior, different shades and hues of pink. The music is calm and low enough to have conversation but still can be heard. The food was good, the coffee was really good. They have a great customer service, the young lady at the counter explained everything very well when I told her it was our first time. Definitely an add to my coffee shops read more

This place is awesome - great staff, wonderful coffee and the best decorated coffee shop for Christmas that you will ever see (it's not even close!). I hit it every morning on the way to work and it's a great way to start the day... Check it out! They even have a drive thru! read more

New rule: if a coffee shop is next to a Walmart, avoid this coffee shop. This place was terrible if you like coffee. I see that the ratings are actually pretty high however. I am assuming this is from people that like sugary drinks, and actually do not like the taste of coffee. I got an iced latte with double espresso and no flavor. I never put flavor because I like coffee. It tasted like a dirty and watery glass of milk. I'm sure if a bunch or whipped cream, some flavor, and 100g of sugar was added someone would find it drinkable and give this place 4 stars... but I would throw the drink in the trash just like I threw the drink I got in the trash. Owners: don't hide behind sugar and flavors. If a plain drink tastes terrible your place is terrible. read more

I would highly recommend stopping by The Daily Grind for your caffeine needs! Chase and Emily greet you with a smile and genuine enthusiasm and joy! There are lots of unique speciality drinks to choose from, and the staff can help you pick something you like! We loved an iced orange cardamon chai and iced vanilla cream. There is so much thought put into the business, including house-made syrup, milk from a local creamery, locally-made tea, locally-roasted beans from an employee-owned company, and more! Super groove interior with bright colors and uplifting messages! read more

Other bonuses include Daisy the doodle and the convenient drive thru. I travel with my Daily Grind punch card everywhere I go and I somehow always end up there :) read more

Super cute inside. Fun themed drinks. I got an americano with cold foam. Can't remember the flavor I got, but it was good. A little pricey.

I love that the inside changes for which season we are in. The holiday menus are always my favorite! Seriously this place smells amazing from cooking the fresh syrup. read more

Great local joint. Coffee and pastries are always good, and the vibes are immaculate. Staff is super nice and often accompanied by the shop dog, Daisy, a small doodle. Also good music. I wish there was a tad more seating, but for a small place it's pretty well outfitted. Would definitely recommend either for coffee to go or to come hang for a while. read more

I love their lattes and house-made syrups, but I wish they would invest some money into the drive thru experience & put some emphasis on customer service. Both times that I have visited, I used the drive thru and felt like a burden to the staff. read more

I always come to work on writing projects. I order a warm beverage and grab a seat by the window. One of my co workers invited me for a sit down, the service was amazing as soon as you come through the door they were very helpful, I like the windows. If your working or reading, it's great for you to stop and take a quick break to look out, the drink was a great temperature I alway hate when it's gone lol, but seriously it's a great place to go and sit down for some one on one or alone time for a nice chill vibe, thanks guys keep up the good work read more

Absolutely the BEST coffee! And the people working there smiled and joked, the entire time. Customer service is a 10!!

Awesome place!! Enjoy this place very cute, coffee was good. We all enjoyed the coffee while charging my vehicle.

*they charged a service fee on my credit card and didn't tell me.-* Same delicious taste but for whatever reason I got the same drink as last time but the cup wasn't much larger so I'll stick with the small since it's more economical. I paid $8 minus tip for this drink. Yikes! The crew wasn't in the best of moods during the grand opening I'm guessing because they were consistently busy, and I completely understand... I was hoping to get a t shirt or something but the lady at the register looked frazzled and I didn't want to add any drama about a shirt. I tasted it after I left and it tasted very different from my first visit...and then I saw on my receipt that they added sugar instead of sugar free so I had to go back to get it fixed. They quickly remade it and all is good. Can't have sugar because I'm diabetic and I'll crash into a hypoglycemic episode. Not a big deal to many, but it is to me. Last thing I need is to pass out while driving or out and about because I was mistakenly given sugar. It happens. I understand and they did fix it immediately without any questions and I appreciate that. I went for the grand opening. I must have missed all the festivities because the vendors were packing up when I passed by at 2 and there wasn't anything happening inside the cafe either. I'll be back. I'll try to go when it's not as busy and maybe they'll have some of the adorable t shirts I saw on their Instagram page. I give them a 4 today because of the mix up and the added service charge they didn't tell me about but an overall 5 because they fixed it and it tasted better than the first time I went read more

The Daily Grind is by far one of my favorite places to go. I love to see all the beautiful smiles, experience the kindness of every single person working and to truly be remembered/valued. On top of the FLAWLESS service, their products are top notch. When I travel, I can never find a coffee shop that I like near as much as the Grind. I love this place and cannot recommend it enough! Also, there's a drive thru! You get the best of both worlds - drive thru local coffee read more

I loved this place the second I walked in. Adorable interior, I would have sat all day if I had the time. Everything here is sourced locally. The menu looked great, and so did the pastries. They get them from cheesecakes by Alex. I ended up getting one of the specialty drinks, the Toffee Nut Cold Brew. The minute I took my first sip, I was hooked. I want this every day for the rest of my life! My friend got the Salty Dog and she shared the same sentiments! We will def be back, thank you! read more
