Solid coffee shop. Breakfast sandwich (sausage), Cortada, black coffee is my go-to. My wife gets the: royal milk tea and or matcha green tea with lavender cold foam. We enjoy the drinks and coffee without a doubt! Service is great and exceptionally fast. I have had some weird service experiences in the past but usually they get corrected quickly. My wife has also and I won't go into that. The place is pretty well kept. read more

I ordered myself 2 drinks because I just couldn't decide. I ordered the midnight moon lemonade, and the café au lait. The midnight moon lemonade lasted oks absolutely beautiful. The coffee is my favorite basic coffee drink. Definitely a win in both choices. The staff greeted us upon arrival didn't take long to take an order and promptly started making our drink drinks My husband ordered a the peanut butter mocha hot and he didn't even share so it must have been good! read more

I prefer a local spot to the coffee chains. I love the vibe inside ...Industrial Chic if that's a thing. I ordered drip coffee- it was nice and strong. My only complaint would be that I like to drink my coffee out of a mug - not paper cups. I know how that sounds - nice and pretentious! I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was jam packed with avocado, egg, bacon, and hash browns (but I couldn't taste them- maybe add more of a crisp and seasoning for these to shine more). Overall - a solid, quick bite at reasonable prices. The burrito was $6-7 (insert middle school laughter) and filling. read more

Adorable spot! Grabbed a cinnamon banana bread latte, a breakfast burrito, and a breakfast bagel sandwich. Everything was awesome. Bagel was so fresh and the burrito was jam packed with deliciousness. The flavors melded together perfectly. The latte seriously tasted like a warm slice of banana bread. read more

Great place to stop in for breakfast, lunch, beverage or quick bite. Cute décor in the dining area that is brightly lit with many different seating options. I saw quite a few people by themselves working on their laptop. You order at the counter, get your number and find a place to sit. Your order will be delivered to your seat when it is ready. Better BLT $9 - Big sandwich! Delicious sourdough with a crunchy crust. The avocado and pesto complimented the bacon, lettuce and tomato very well. Thai Milk Tea $5 - Good flavor iced beverage. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2025 read more

coffee sucks and the "baristas" almost always seem clueless when you make a request. who does not not know how to make a cortado with ice. It's just less proportion of milk compared to a latte. They all need some training. Their customer service and attitude also sucks. It's my second time coming here and it's been the same experience. read more

I've been driving past Daily Project Coffee Bar for years and honestly can't believe it took me this long to stop in what a home run of a place . The coffee selections are both unique and abundant I got a nitro brew, which came in a generous-sized cup and was absolutely delicious. The food was equally impressive; my pesto chicken sandwich was flavorful and fresh, and the dessert options looked great too . Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get, and the atmosphere has that perfect "get work done" vibe lots of people on laptops, calm energy, and clean modern decor. Service was good Nd to the point. I'll definitely be stopping by again whenever I'm in the area. If you're looking for a spot to work, relax, or just enjoy a really good cup of coffee, this place deserves a visit. read more

Daily Projects is such a cute, spacious coffee shop and one of my go-to spots in the area. They have so many fun flavor options, and it's an easy place to hang out, work, or catch up with someone over coffee. While my order was wrong on this visit, it's still a favorite of mine and I keep coming back. Overall, a great local spot with lots to love. read more

Big fan of locally owned coffee shops and this place did it for me! I was pleasantly surprised to see how large this cafe is. There's about 50, if not more, seats inside. I was here during the fall so I'm not sure if they put tables and chairs outdoors during the spring/summer time. There are outlets pretty much everywhere if you are planning to huddle up with a laptop. I will say that sitting at the bench against the wall was somewhat of a 'challenge' for me. I couldn't reach my laptop while sitting against the wall so I didn't have support on my back. I think adding pillows to the bench area would be a much appreciated plus. For short people like me at least, haha. I ordered via their front counter and the staff was friendly and quick. Once drinks were made you're asked to grab it at the counter. If you order food and are dining in they give you a number and bring it to you once it's ready. I tried a hot pumpkin pie matcha latte and loved it. I could taste both the matcha and pumpkin and neither were competing with each other. This was a well balanced drink that set the tone of having a cozy and relaxing stay. For food I ordered the breakfast sandwich with turkey bacon. This was a pretty standard sandwich for me, nothing special, but I'm glad they offer it! read more

Daily Projects is a great coffee shop in the Algonquin area. Located in a strip mall on Randall Rd, it's an easy location to get to and is near a lot! The inside is large with a central ordering counter with seating on each side. There are outlets along the front of the banquet benches for people to work with ease. The staff were extremely friendly and fast to turn around food/drinks. I ordered a hot Lavender Latte and Breakfast Sandwich with crispy bacon. The latte was served in a to-go cup even though we said we were dining in. The flavor was good but not strong. The foam art on top was a nice touch. My breakfast sandwich came out exactly how I ordered it but definitely needed more sauce. I would certainly stop back for a coffee when in the area but wouldn't go out of my way. While it had some working benefits, the seating was not comfortable enough to accommodate long stays. The pricing was very fair, in my opinion, but I have had better lavender lattes. read more

Second time my smoothie has been bad here. Very watery...they thickened it by adding ice and now it's full of huge ice chunks. It's a lot of money to be disappointed twice with the same problem. Probably will be my last visit. read more

Way too expensive for the quality of the drinks and food. They use Meijer milk and creamer (which probably isn't the best idea to readily showcase when prices are as high as they are. I ordered the $8.50 avocado toast and an iced matcha latte. The toast was a thick piece of Texas toast which really clashed with the avocado, and was really just a bland mess of a breakfast. The matcha was fine. Not worth the time. Also no street access and no drive thru. read more

Daily Projects is a great place for quality coffee if you feel like stepping away from the chains. It kind of gives a homely, inviting environment, comfortable enough to hang out all day, and I think some people do lol. I'm usually a fan of the basics and they have solid black brews. Every once in a while I'll get a latte and they are delish. They used to make great cortado, not sure if they completely stopped or if they were seasonal. Speaking of seasonal, make sure to try them because they're unique, delicious, and because I said so. Not sure if their pastries are made in-house or ordered from somewhere but they pair well with a strong cup joe or their teas. read more

This is one of our favorite places to stop on a Saturday or Sunday while out running errands. We've never had a drink (or snack) that we didn't like. During our last visit, we were served with a smile even though the line was long as there were only two employees working at the time. Cute place to sit and do some work, visit with a friend or people watch! read more

I've been here a couple times and have always been really happy with the service. Today I took my daughter here and was told there were no vegan options. I know I've seen vegan options on the menu before. You also have vegan cheese .. so I don't understand why there wouldn't be any vegan options. The girl seemed uninterested in finding out so we left. I was pretty frustrated because it was out of our way to go here. If you have vegan options, your staff may need retrained. read more

It's nice to see a local cafe with dairy free and vegan options with a nice interior and plenty of seats along the busy Randall Road. We had been wanting to stop by here many times, and finally was able to. This cafe is along the very busy Randall Road but we were able to find parking just outside. I was glad to see dairy free milk options and even vegan cheese to add to meals - for those of us who are lactose intolerance. I was surprised by their good sized menu of drinks and food. We chose to eat in and had an early lunch on a weekday. We enjoyed the food and the drinks and the total for two people with drinks, a side, and 2 sandwiches was about $40. read more

This the first visit for me and probably the last. The coffee was fine. My disappointment is mainly due to the overall cleanliness. The rugs at the front of the store looked like they haven't been vacuumed in a month. One appeared to be covered in brown animal hair? The coffee cart that holds the napkins and lids was absolutely filthy. It had streaks of whatever was spilled on it or knocked over. It was covered in crumbs and spilt, dried on condiments. Some of the coffee machines/blenders are visible to customers from the counter, and those looked like they haven't been wiped down/cleaned at any time during the morning. The dining room is not much better. I couldn't find a table to sit at that was clean. All of the tables were littered with crumbs, old spills, dried smears of who knows what crumpled straw wrappers. The floor again looked like it hadn't been swept in weeks. The metal busing carts and the bus tubs left out in the dining area were covered in dried up smears and drips. I counted 5 employees behind the counter, all were working, but I would think one or two of them would be responsible for keeping the dining room in order, clean, and maybe even sanitary. During my 30 minutes in the dining area I didn't see a single employee walk into it, let alone anyone with something to clean with. This is such a shame. I always prefer local businesses over chains, but this one has a lot of work to get where it needs to be. read more

Bought a mango bowl which I thought would be like an açaí bowl but ended up being melted down with pieces of fruit. Couldn't stomach it so asked for a refund/some other item but they said "it was made correctly" so there was nothing they could do. was not about to risk spending another 10-15 dollars on something equally unappetizing customer service not great. Ambiance is pretty good if you don't mind the rest! read more

We usually get their breakfast burritos and sometimes a coffee. The burritos used to be superb! We feel they used to be larger. Now they're much smaller and for $13, you should get a bigger breakfast burrito. Besides that, they taste great! The matcha latte is not good. It comes out more brown than green and tastes mostly like milk. Doesn't usually have much matcha flavor to it. The staff is always nice and friendly though. read more

Huge portions and great food! Family owned friendly, lots oof options I love this place!

I came here to get some work done and ordered three drinks and a sandwich in under two hours. The tea was so bitter it was undrinkable. When I asked for hot water to dilute it they poured an inch and when I asked for a bit more, I was told I'd have to pay for it. When I asked to speak to someone, they responded with attitude, lied and refused to share information. Having worked in the hospitality industry for a long time, I know poor management when I see it and this was exactly that. I've never been treated so poorly and dismissively anywhere over a few ounces of hot water. Truly unprofessional and embarrassingly bad customer service. read more

New owners plus Covid and everything is very different. Sure they make the same coffee and the dining area is still great for meeting friends or working/homework. That's where the good part ends. Came with my friend to try their seasonal lattes. Friend ordered avocado toast. They charged her $9 for a slice of Texas toast that was almost burnt with half an avocado sliced and topped with a sprig of greens. What?!! Where's the fancy bread and arugula salad with sliced radishes? Shame! My butterscotch latte is in a real mug again. Real mugs make hot coffee and lattes taste so much better than drinking them out of plastic or paper cups. read more

This is a very enjoyable coffee shop. The drinks are good and the employees are always kind to me. I love how much seating there is and how many outlets there are. The only negative is that the tables are bolted down into the ground. Because of this you will not be able to sit back to do your work due to being unable to adjust the distance from seat to table (if in booth). I have lower back problems and so if I do my work here then I know I only have a small amount of time until I'll need to stop so I can sit back. read more

Sadly, this place has lost its detail to fresh food, quality ingredients and unfortunately, flavor. It's been some time since I ordered the avocado toast: 2 slices of perfectly toasted bread with mashed seasoned avocado, pickled onion and radish slices with a perfectly dressed side of micro greens. I ordered and received a lackluster version of crappy bread, sliced avocado, an overdone egg and what I'm assuming is the microgreen side salad sprinkled on top. I also order a side of bacon wich lists at 2 pieces for $3.75 on delivery and I received a piece of burned hard bacon folded in half. It's truly a pathetic version of the amazing dish they used to serve. Save yourself the disappointment and don't spend $13.00 on the garbage I received. This place is not the same...skip it and go to Syrup, where they indeed serve fresh and quality ingredients. read more

Always on the lookout for a new coffee shop. I tried the lavender vanilla latte and it was rich and creamy. The shop has handful or high boy tables and also seats by a counter. It faces the window, which offers some natural light. Service was good, but nothing special. The staff seemed to get along well and were engaged in conversation the entire time I was there. It was wonderful to see such camaraderie, but it would have been nice if some of their energy was directed to the customers. read more

I only came here for drinks so I can't speak to any of their food options. I ordered a lavender earl grey special drink, and it spoke to me. Even the gorgeous purple color.

Ample comfortable seating if you want to work, or if you want to come with a friend to catch up, as was the case for me there. read more
