Beyond the Daily Grind Cafe — Restaurant in Mauston

When we travel we like to hit the mom and pop business's instead of large chain joints. We strolled into Beyond the daily Grind late morning. The owner put on a fresh pot of coffee for us and apologized for the three min wait. My fiance chose bacon and pancakes large stack and I was intrigued by the tarragon chicken salad along with a cup of tomato bisque. We were served water and coffee promptly. The coffee was rich and full flavored. Add in we're standard creamers in little packets. Our meal came quickly with nice flat crisp meaty bacon and fluffy pancakes. The syrup was standard packets of maple but there was real butter.. yum. My sandwich was nice the chicken was moist, not to much Tarragon to overpower the salad had the pecans which I enjoy. The coursant was fresh a smaller perfect lunch size. They accommodated the coursant as normally the chicken salad is served on bread.My plate came with a crisp dill. The soup had small diced tomatoes a nice texture with a tad bit of heat. Not a bland soup. Not a heavy cream based but nice. Over all a nice experience.. Too up there game would be nice to have a assortment of syrups and always even with a soup and sandwich serve with cracker. Give this place a try.. also it's a Christian based owner a thumbs up...

I really wanted to like this place. I really did. It was cute. My sweet friend and I wanted a yummy cup of coffee and a bite to eat after a busy morning. We placed our order with the server. She informed us she was a barista. Yum! Ordered our coffee drinks(no menu no prices for those), mine was sb to have whipcream. Got them. no cream. its ok. still yummy and let her know it. Finally got her to take our order. 2 bowls of soup and bread. mine was tomato(very peppery) hers was mushroom. but it was more like a big glob of mushroom barely goo. no bread. had to wave her down to get the bread and asked for water. Sourdough was a choice. so yes. yum. sour dough. she brought 2 slices of store bought like bread, think wonder bread. didnt think we were gonna get the water but she finally brought it. mind you, this place only had 2 other customer tables there and 1 person at the counter. Maybe she was having an off day or had bad news she was dealing with. I dont know. She never asked us how our food was and the overall feeling was we did not matter. I was very nice, as I am to anyone in any kind of customer service. Nope. Not...

Most friendly service I've ever received. The food was great, highly suggest the 3 grain pancakes. The wait for food was a little longer than a big breakfast chain, but it was 100% worth the wait. The coffee is probably the best I've ever had while eating out. Rich and smooth. The atmosphere was amazing, as soon as you walk in you feel at home. The portions leave you full with extra to take home, and the pricing doesn't hurt the bank even going as a family. If you're reading reviews trying to decide if you want to go or not, stop. Just go, take a seat, and enjoy. You won't regret it. This was my first experience with them, I had friends recommend it. After going I completely agree with their...
