The Daily Grind — Restaurant in Evansville

I went to the Daily Grind on a Friday and ordered breakfast for me and my fiancé. I ordered a sausage bagel with a side of cream cheese and a steak egg and cheese bagel for him. He said his bagel was “okay”, nothing special. I got home to find I had a sausage biscuit which is not what I ordered or wanted so I didn’t eat it. All I ate was the grits and they were really good. I also got a Carmel latte and a turtle latte and both were good.

Being a southern girl I enjoyed the grits so much I couldn’t wait to get some more on Monday. Monday I called in my order so maybe they’d get it right this time. I ordered the iced turtle latte, grits and sausage and cheese on a plain bagel. I get there and pay my $22. (Imo not cheap for breakfast for one) I decide to check my order before I leave and my sausage and cheese is on a everything bagel, which I can’t eat because I’m allergic to sesame seeds. I tell her and she takes it in the back and comes back and says “easy fix”. I say thank you and leave. I go home and eat my grits and drink my latte and when I open the box I see why it was an “easy fix”…. She only switched the top of my bagel 🤦🏾‍♀️ the bottom is still an everything bagel… and there’s also steak on my bagel!?? Huh?

Moral of the story is they don’t follow directions very well here and clearly like to take short cuts when it comes to correcting the issues. I was excited for this place but I won’t be back to allow a 3rd mess up. Also, Monday I was the only person there so it’s not like they were busy and in a rush to make my order....

I always wanted to try this place. A couple friends and I went. I loved the decor as we were walking in. Once inside the noise was unsettling. There was only one other customer there. It was about 11:15AM. There were at least 4 maybe 5 people working. The music was very loud. They ground coffee coffee constantly and the sound horrible. Of course the workers were trying to talk to each other and had to practically yell. I thought it would be a nice relaxing place to drink coffee or sip tea, order muffin. I was looking to sit and chat with friends. Only one of us ordered, my other friend and myself couldn’t stand the noise. We were ready to go as soon as possible. I don’t know if this is how it always is there or not. It was a shame. My friend said the tea was good. The staff seemed friendly. I have never experienced that level of noise in a coffee shop, cafe...

Coffee/latte and house made hummus were excellent. Grinder was good overall, too, except for the plastic-like onion skins that made their way into about every 3rd or 4th bite.

Decor and layout are quite appealing, but it is unclear whether or not one has to order at the counter or sit at a table. There is a menu on the back wall for drinks and soups. But if you're there for food, there is a formal, laminated menu I didn't see until after I had already ordered the day's special on the board.

The choice of piped in music is great, but a bit too loud. Once the dining area is about 1/3 capacity, it's so loud it seems like you're in a bar. Not what I'm looking for in a...
