The Daily Grind - Espresso Bar & Cafe — Restaurant in Livermore

Overall the drinks were not good, the food was okay. Service was great though, but the atmosphere wasn’t for me. I was looking for a spot to do work for a few hours and I should have went to a Starbucks but wanted to support a local spot.

Drinks ordered was the vanilla latte, tropical mango passion, and thin mint cookie blast. The vanilla latte tasted burnt, so I just tossed it. The tropical mango passion came with a cherry syrup, which I wished was advertised because I hate cherry, thankfully it was on the bottom. However, this drink was extremely sweet and tasted like artificial mango, so I didn’t drink much of it either. My husband ordered the thin mint cookie blast and that was also extremely sweet and just tasted artificial to the point where it was chemically. He was expecting something along the lines of a thin mint cookies shake.

For food, we ordered the PSTA and grilled chicken caesar salad wrap. The PSTA was frustrating to eat because the poached egg, only one, wasn’t sliced and tossed in the middle. The prosciutto was small tiny pieces and covered a quarter of the sandwich. I was mostly eating a STA sandwich. The grilled chicken caesar salad wrap barely had any chicken, but the lettuce was warm and slightly crunchy, that...

Horrible Coffee shop to be honest...their standards of service have dropped and reached a miserable low... very short staffed..unable to handle daily crowd of customers at a good pace..leading to disgruntled customers..poor service and long wait times... even for simple orders... They close their store very early ..much earlier than the posted scheduled hours.... I've seen them roll down the doors at 1:30 pm, 2pm ish...in the afternoon.... local homeless enjoy lurking outside near the bathrooms as well ... causing concerns... staff expect a tip even for a cup of coffee and seem lazy, talkative and unprofessional ... girls at the front seem giggly and gossipy and lack customer service skills... one in particular seems like she is less than 10 years old which seems almost illegal... the 2 that work the shift on saturday mornings are...

It was enjoyable. The coffee is real good. Like really good. The food portions are a little small for the price, but the people are really nice. It is also in a library so smaller finger food while you study perhaps makes sense. Also ignore the review which is complaining about getting kicked out for not buying anything. First off there is clear signage on the tables (see picture). Additionally, there were plenty of people with laptops or a book and just a coffee. They are certainly not going out of There way to kick anyone out. Third it's literally a library if you want to just sit down why not pick one of the many seats outside the cafe (honestly people). There is/was a blank review at the bottom that I reported. I encourage someone reading this to do the same should it...
