The Daily Grind

It needs to be said, this place has gone through several owner changes in the last year. With the original owner, this place was the best. If you know you know. Then they got a new owner summer 2019, same guy that owns lokal. He ran the place right into the Crim Dell, and then sold it to Sodexo. Yunno, the company accused of human rights violations in the prisons they run, and who’ve been caught selling horse as beef ... so yeah. Really not cool bud. Now its owned by Sodexo. Don’t go there. No more hot grill. Bad quality coffee. Weird vibe. And it’s owned by a devil corporation. Pour some out for the old Grind.

Ever since the management changed, the food and service has gotten way worse. I got the grilled hummus and veggie sandwich (9 dollars!!!) and it was 90% bread, a few veggies, and barely any hummus and not grilled just heated. Learn how to make good vegetarian and vegan food because that's not it. If someone comes in to eat lunch and spends that much money, they better feel like they got something more than just bread. The food used to be AMAZING and now it feels like absolutely no effort goes into it. Other complaints: have your cooks come in to work on time, decrease the cost of food if someone takes off meat or eggs, and play music that matches a coffee shop (relaxed). I don't want to go to a coffee shop and feel stressed out because the music is too loud and aggressive.. Just makes me want to leave immediately. I'm sure management is working hard but please consider making some changes or else a lot of the students are going to stop showing up.

Great interior, pretty nice coffee shop, food not the best but lots of options which are out of the ordinary. It was a bit of a wait when I went but it doesn't seem like that's typical- and if you're there for drinks it's quick. Prices were very reasonable. I didn't get the ice cream, but I appreciate that they had it there - 8 options to be scooped from. Outdoor and indoor seating, and a lot of room.

Gone so far downhill since the ownership change unfortunately. Many students have complained about the below average food (especially considering the high prices). Avocado toast had avocado that was under ripe and not ready to be served. I ordered an iced coffee, and it was incredibly watered down and too weak to be enjoyable.

The best place for coffee in this hemisphere\campus. Great scones, sandwiches, and soup. The fish soup will destroy your preconceptions of what good soup really is. The staff is great\sexy\amicable. Scott is a benevolent and graceful overseer. Cort is a sex God/wise prophet/work of art/beast man. 10/5.
