Daily Grind

I love this place - consistently good food and coffee. However, their service process needs improving. You never know if it’ll take 5 or 25 minutes to get your order, even if it’s slow. Seating is limited and it gets crowded. The air vents near the ceiling have thick black dust covering them and the place needs a dusting. Management should give staff a cleaner working environment with regards to the blackened air vents. It can’t be healthy.

This place is pleasant and friendly. They have this Blueberry Pancake Latte that is not on the menu and it's fire. My special request sandwich was outstanding. The homie that put it together is a master at their craft. That latte, tho...🤌🤌🤌

Whether your day is just beginning or, like me, your night is winding down as the morning comes to a close—there’s no better time to treat yourself to a solid breakfast or a good cup of coffee. And let me tell you, The Daily Grind in Albany, NY is the spot. Open since 1976—that’s 48 years of serving the community—this place is nothing short of legendary. From the moment I stepped into this cozy little café, I was met with a warm, inviting vibe that instantly made me feel at home. The atmosphere? Charming. The service? Phenomenal. I didn’t catch her name, but the woman who helped me was absolutely delightful. Bright personality, striking tattoos, and a super cool hair design—she radiated individuality and kindness. A true hidden gem working in one of Albany’s best-kept secrets. Let’s talk prices—because this place is beyond reasonable. I grabbed a large coffee for just $3. But this wasn’t just any coffee. I asked for a recommendation and was blessed with the suggestion of a Lavender Vanilla Latte. It may sound simple, but trust me—it was otherworldly. I’ve never had anything like it, and now I don’t think I’ll ever want anything else. Smooth, fragrant, flavorful—and again, just t

This cute little place is perfect for a quick, delicious and quality breakfast! It’s fresh made with REAL ingredients. The bagels are delish and the French toast was awesome. The breakfast plates are filling. Been here a few times and everything always comes out to order. Staff is great too, definitely chipper for a morning grind. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

This place was great! Busy and small but that's a good thing. Kip and Morgan rocked and set the chill, friendly, and humorous mood of this coffee shop. The oldest coffee shop in Albany (to the best of knowledge) and you can tell in a good throwback sort of way. Not only was this place sweet, the food and drinks were too! Hot cocoa was a great temperature and a helpful amount of chocolate taste too! "Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks" 👍
