The Daily Grind - Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Burlington

Lover of all things coffee and tea , I even have my own bar at home. I have tried many many many coffee shops across NC and in the Burlington area and have to say this place supersedes any place you can visit in a 100 mile radius!!!! The coffee is full bodied and flavorful without that candy sugary taste like chain coffee shops. Syrups are made in house and beans as supplied locally. The woman (and singular man lol) that work there are all very kind and hold great conversation. I’ve been a regular for a year now and they have known just what I like and create drinks with such consistency in quality! The owner, Emily, is a very progressive and kind lady and offers great service and is very generous. Despite the small space they have maximized the utility of the area with great seating arrangements. I could go on an on about how I enjoy the interior. The coffee never has a burnt taste, pressed and brewed perfectly. Even the cold brew is wonderful! The matcha (for matcha lovers like myself) is high quality with that vibrant green anyone is looking for and is whisked properly for a full and earthy taste that is never bitter or watery. The people there know exactly what they are doing and I’ve never seen them crack under pressure on busy days. The vibes are always light hearted, welcoming and occasionally the girls have a little dance party with the music. The music is non-generic as well so if I forget my headphones I don’t suffer hahaha. 10/10 all around and has been my favorite coffee shop since the day I step foot in a...

The Daily Grind: Your New Favorite Vibe

If you’re not hitting up The Daily Grind, are you even living? This spot has the kind of atmosphere that feels like a warm hug from your coolest friend. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted by walls adorned with rad, eye-catching paintings that could easily double as a mini art gallery. It’s the perfect blend of cozy and creative—a whole vibe in itself.

But let’s talk coffee—because, wow. The Gingerbread Shaken Espresso is like the holidays in a cup, with just enough spice to keep things interesting. And don’t sleep on the Pecan Pie Latte; it’s liquid dessert with a caffeinated kick that’s dangerously good.

The baristas? Absolute gems. Sweet, delightful, and they somehow make you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. They’re serving more than just coffee—they’re serving good energy.

Pro tip: snag some merch. Not only is it super stylish, but it’s also a cool way to rep a spot that truly understands the grind (and your caffeine addiction).

The Daily Grind isn’t just a coffee shop; it’s a lifestyle. Dope drinks, killer vibes, and everything you need to fuel your hustle....

Swing through this place on a Sunday morning on our way back to WV. Don’t let the twisty road there stop you from coming!! Every. Single. Thing. Was above and beyond delicious. The toffeenut cold brew tasted like Bailey’s. The lavender vanilla hot latte was yummy, not too sweet. I got a steamer for my toddler and she was allll about it. We also had a cheese danish - this thing was a thicc boi, soooo much cheesecakey goodness. The banana nut muffin was warm and moist and nutty. Nutella pastry? Whew. We talked about every bite we took. The bag the barista packed up for us had forks and knives for everything, plenty of napkins, and stickers for the kid. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming - vintage and retro aspects. If you’re into MCM furniture, you’ll lose your mind over the shelving unit they have their merch on. Overall, 11/10. Perfection in a...
