Hey guys, are we just not offering full kitchen service anymore? In what world do customers want to peel and clean egg for the egg that comes with avocado toast? You offer it as an uncharge, the least you can do is prepare the food. read more

My favorite coffee spot in SB - simply because of the service, and the girls working there were always super sweet and welcoming every time I came in. Also, helped that I worked next door at the Ryu clinic, BUT the smoothies, sandwiches, bagels, legit everything was good every time I went and got something for lunch or breakfast. Have recommended this to anyone who comes to visit Santa Barbara and always hears such good things about them to those I recommend! Small little shop and always very clean! Music is changed every time I go as its from their playlist but they got some solid music and just a good place with good vibes and mountains in the background. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Came in here for a much-needed Monday morning pick me up. My wife's new clinic a few blocks down as a parking attendant who recommended me to these guys for a good cup of espresso. Really good first impression with fantastic customer service from the young lady at the cash register, nice clean place, and a strong, hot cappuccino just like I like them. I'd imagine my wife is probably been here for lunch, if not, I know I'll definitely recommend it to her and I will want to stop by as well read more

This place is awesome!! They have some of the best coffee flavors I've experienced. Not only that but the coffee itself is fresh & pure tasting. The staff is SO friendly & I work in luxury retail where we have to be overly courteous to everyone. I know it's not always easy to go the extra mile to make someone's day, & they do that here! I will always support this business!! The vibe is amazing too! read more

I am quite disappointed. My wife and I come here every time we're in town because it's the only consistent coffee shop around (she's been coming here since she was in high school). This morning we stopped by around 9:10 and ordered 2 coffees, one hot and one iced. The young lady at the register was nice, and the two baristas seemed friendly. We kept seeing people come in after us and walk out with their drinks and I thought maybe they're just behind on their drinks. We ended up having to ask for our drinks at around 9:30, which were sitting in the back behind the counter because "they thought they were Mobile orders". My wife's iced latte seemed fine, but my hot latte looks nothing like a latte and tastes nothing like the lavender syrup. It tastes like a normal drip coffee with a splash of cold oat milk and a bunch of sugar. Disappointed in my drink, and the service since the whole time we were there the two male baristas were chatting it up with the female cashier and when one of them left for what I assume was his lunch the other barista and the cashier kept talking to each other, unbothered about why my wife, my toddler, my newborn and I had been sitting there for 20 minutes waiting for our drink. read more

The Daily Grind is my go to spot for great tasting coffee and a bagel. My preference for coffee is the Industrial Blend, and it is perfect every time! They also have espresso drinks, tea, fresh juice and smoothies. Prices here have increased over time, as everything else has in this world. That's why I don't come here as often as I used to, but it's still one of my favorite places in town when I want to treat myself. The burritos are also delicious, and a generous size. I usually get the Spinach, which is filled with eggs, spinach, feta cheese, potato and served with salsa. The bacon burrito is also delicious! You can choose sausage or ham as well if that's your preference. The atmosphere is casual, and they have indoor/outdoor seating available. Customer service has always been friendly to me. Yummy pastries are also available, such as scones, muffins, desserts, cookies, and croissants. My review for Daily Grind was long overdue, but as they say better late than never. read more

So amazing! The nicest workers and such yummy food! Good seating inside and outside so cozy! Definitely recommend great menu. read more

Get the Breakfast Burrito!!!! New one I've ever had - crispy bacon to die for. Unreal.

One of the best breakfast burritos in town. Bacon breakfast burrito. It has the perfect ratio of eggs, cheese, and bacon. It's easy to order online since they can get busy at times. The employees that work there are very nice. Don't forget to try the hot sauce that comes with the burrito! Nice spot. We love getting our breakfast burritos from here. read more

My fav place to study and work. Parking is never a problem which helps my parking anxiety anytime I go to a coffee shop here lol They have got salads, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and a variety of drinks. I got to sample the apple orchard (apple cider chai) and it's my favorite drink of all time The service is amazing too. read more

Food nice--lox bagel good and coffee/matcha fine. Young boy behind counter unusually rude--cutting me off/no please or thank you. Will avoid. Really regret tipping. read more

Great breakfast and service. Come here repeatedly for their breakfast bagel sando and burritos

Went to SB on vacation, every coffee shop looked super trendy and aesthetic, which made a coffee price pretty high. Then I found Daily Grind which was more of a true coffee shop. It's small but has tons of parking but, is really nice inside and has a nice patio.I did an online order cause it was a big order three coffees and three breakfast burritos. We've gotten the SAUSAGE and CHORIZO BURRITOS, which were delicious and huge too. The salsa on the side was so good. My friends got the MATCHA ORGANIC & CHIA MEDIUM and I gotten the MOCHA WHITE DOUBLE which were all great. Then inside they have a glass shelf of dessets, so had to grab a slice of carrot cake, was bombacious! Also tried the Mexican coffee, which was my favorite drink! (Small lil problem that, I showed them but they offered a free drink for letting them know, denied it but came back the next day to pay for it to try it) But on there website menu they have a Mexican Coffee but there online order menu doesn't have it, if you do wanna try Mexican coffee when ordering online call ahead of time to let them know. read more

The Daily Grind has been in business in Santa Barbara since 1995. And though i have been coming to SB for a long time, today is the first time i checked this business out. At about 10am-ish this place was jumpin'! I let out a chuckle because this unit used to house a Taco Bell which is obvious in the style of the building: small up front outside seating area and rounded "Spanish" arches: a style that thousands of TB's made famous throughout the USA. Be that as it may many interesting food things is going on inside this Daily Grind. The huge menu boasts everything from Fruit Smoothies to Breakfast Burritos and Sammies as well as first rate Bakery items that i doubt were produced in house though whose presence in the cases belie a buyer with a strong sense of what is good and what is quality. As is my custom, i order cuppa joe ("Industrial" strength which i had hoped it would be) first before i delve into the specialty coffee drinks. i was a bit disappointed in the way it was brewed: meaning the coffee grounds to water ratios. In this case not enough coffee to give the brew a deeply robust flavor. What i tasted in a large size was slightly weak in flavor though i could discern what it might have been based on the what i tasted. The Muffins we ate are excellent and BIG: way big enough for two: Pecan, Blueberry Banana and Zucchini Carrot. All of the Muffins boast a fluffy texture, plenty of flavor and are baked to moist and not beyond. Good Stuff. I will be back to the Daily Grind here and the one on Mission. I have barely touched the surface of the big menu but plan to do so in the near future, Cheers. read more

a good hangover breakfast spot. i enjoyed the tuna sandwich, not so much of the cranberry tart (it was too sour). if you plan to order matcha PLEASE ASK FOR VANILLA SYRUP OR SOME TYPE OF SWEETENER. i assumed that there would be some type of simple syrup in the matcha when i ordered it, but when i took a sip it was just diluted milky grass and i LOVE matcha. if you go here i recommend not getting the matcha, def get the food. read more

I love the breakfast burrito here, it's the best in town in my opinion and their service is really timely :)

The place was clean. Great coffee! Service was good and the location was close to my hotel. Thanks!

Good coffee & hot chocolate. Delicious muffins and almond croissant. Friendly employees! Relaxing outdoor space to enjoy the food.

Just down the road from Starbucks you'll find this gem! The roast is great the the service and ambiance is amazing Gianna helped us and will definitely be back! read more

I am new in town and I was looking to get a cup of coffee early in the morning on Saturday, I found out this local spot open at 6:00 AM on Google and now I am hooked. Not only my latte was AMAZING but the staff deserves a 5* review! Jabi was kind and patient enough to answer all my questions, his attitude and big smile are contagious. Thank you for being open so early you are now my go-to coffee shop in Santa Barbara. read more

The Daily Grind has the worst coffee I've ever had in SB. The worst. And it's $3.30! I came only because my car engine light on and I wanted coffee before I dealt with it. Currently at Bowman's. I never come here tho it's right through my alley. The last time I came my garage was stuck and I couldn't get my car out. I walked to Handlebar but they were closed. For a week!? I asked the lovely barista which caffeinated non-flavored coffee she liked best. "Mexico" she said without hesitating. It's HORRID. McDonalds's is ten times better. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars is that I like the spinach salad. The food is actually good. The baked goods I wouldn't touch. Gigantic muffins are their thing and in 2022, who eats muffins? 1000 calories and 150 g carbs I would guess. I remember when it was a Taco Bell and frankly the tacos were better relative to tacos than this coffee is relative to coffee. The vanilla ice blended is good but Vices and Spices is better. Again, I don't like to disparage a beloved local institution but I also feel a duty to tell people just how disgusting this coffee is. The type you drink only because after paying $3.30 you feel bad pouring it down the drain (and also you need caffeine). It's clearly not the fault of baristas. It's the beans. They're bitter and sour. So so bad. I didn't Yelp how dismal the coffee is the last time read more

I placed an online order at 1:50 pm on a Friday for lunch the website processed my order and charged my card. I then received a phone call that the kicthen was closed and they could not make my lunch. I said "ok thanks please refund my card." the woman said "sorry we cant do that we can make you the food tomorrow". I replied " I don't work Saturdays please refund my card" She said "we cant do that you can come in tomorrow for a refund". This is unacceptable I underdstand you cant make my food but you should be able to refund my money. I should have to drive there on a Saturday for a refund!!!!!! read more

I'll start by saying I love supporting Daily Grind! However this location on De La Vina needs to be retrained or something... the drip coffee here is horribly acidic. I can't even drink it without diluting it with water. We have bought the large coffee carriers for our office as well and same thing, SUPER acidic. This is a case where less is more with the coffee grounds...or just do the correct ratios in the first place, no need for a heavy hand with the grounds because the coffee is good tasting! I think the staff also might need a raise because they do not look happy my teller was super short with me and bypassed the rewards system so I didn't get to type my phone number in :( I didn't want to be a pain so I didn't ask her to go back, but idk she could have taken an extra second to interact with me. It was very much "have as little to do with me as possible". The energy at the daily grind on Mission is sooo much better and they work twice as hard! Idk if it's different management but the daily grind on de la vina needs an extra spark. Probably would have ranked lower but I don't want to be mean! I just want the management to check in with how their team is brewing coffee and maybe treat them a little better so they enjoy their job! read more

I swear I am here every Sunday morning. The lattes are fresh and the muffins are fluffy. You can't really go wrong from there. Try the zucchini carrot muffin. Trust me. I am obsessed. Daily Grind has the absolute best breakfast burritos that SB has to offer, in my humble opinion, but remember that they stop making them after breakfast is done (I think it's at 11 but don't quote me on that. I just remember being really sad because it was 1 pm and I strolled in asking for one and was told no). The overall atmosphere is so relaxing. The vibes are very grungy but with a bit of de la vina charm. Oh, and if you happen to accidentally drive past this, no need to fret, there's another one just down the street!! Parking is beautiful, but it'll take a while to pull out of the lot. Or maybe that's just me. This is a sweet place to study, read a book, chat with a friend, dog watch, or watch the city just living through that, dare I say it, daily grind. A sweet gem of a coffee shop! read more

Neighborhood feeling place Really attentive, friendly, and zippy, service. Display cases are always bountifully filled with house-made muffins and other treats. There's a lot to eat and drink here. Smoothies and sandwiches too. Coffee is really good. Many choices. read more

I love daily grind. They have the best breakfast burritos with an amazing spicy salsa. The mini muffins at the de la vina & mission location strategically placed right by the register get me every time as an impulse splurge. Great selection of coffee and pastries. I also like that I can grab a wrap in the morning to take with me to work and have for lunch later that day. The line can get long but they are efficient and get through it quickly. Great local coffee shop, so glad it's right down the street from me! read more

I like the daily grind but consistently when we've been helped by the brunette gal she's been so unpleasant and rude. It feels a bit racist because when she helps other people that are non Hispanic she is warm and friendly. She's rolled her eyes at us a few times. Makes me not want to go to the daily grind at all. The guy with dyed hair is awesome and friendly! He deserves 5 stars. read more

On our drive to Solvang, we stopped by for a quick breakfast and coffee. The service was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed breakfast bagel sandwiches and a burrito. The burrito was hearty and filled to the brim. The bagel sammies were so delicious because the bagels were flavorful and hearty. The server was super friendly, helpful and followed COVID-19 restrictions. The coffee was bold and flavorful. read more

So... Don't come here for their food... The sandwiches they make are bland and a waste of calories. I got el primo. It must mean that distant cousin of yours you never want to see because it's definitely not the first in my books. It was a hot sandwich with grilled roast beef, bell pepper, onion, melted provolone and chipotle on french roll. The bell pepers and onions were nice and carmelized but... eating the whole thing just was tasteless save for a bit of bad chipotle spicyness leaking through. The smell of the chipotle sauce reminded me of a night i spent two hours kneeling over a toilet puking up everything I had drank that night. Pleasant right? The best part of the meal were the tortilla chips. DON'T. COME. HERE. FOR. THEIR. FOOD. read more

On my hunt to find the best breakfast burrito in SB I made the stop into this shop for a quick bite and a coffee.
