Main Street Daily Grind Coffeehouse and Cafe

Daily Grind in Front Royal has a great selection drink and food items including many gluten free items which is really what brings us in. I do not like to put syrup in my coffee; I prefer to use natural sweeteners such as a small bit of real honey. Yesterday I ordered a decaf cold brew with real honey and whole milk. The employee put in honey syrup which is far sweeter and has a different taste. I asked if I could get the drink as I ordered it or just receive my money back and the girl at the cash register told me no, that they had made it as I ordered it so I couldn’t have the drink remade or receive my money back. She told me that honey syrup is the same thing as honey which it is not. It differs in both taste and consistency. I told her this and she begrudgingly remade my coffee. I witnessed another person ask that they remove the ice from her drink ad it would melt in the heat. She was very apologetic and polite and the employees gave her a similar attitude. It seems clear that the girls have no stake in the business or they would not be treating customers with disdain. I might be old fashioned but I would never imply that a customer is wrong or being annoying unless it was there was an exceptional reason for it. Other than my awkward interaction yesterday, my experience with the Daily Grind has been slightly above average.

Fast, Friendly Service! The food and coffee were great! The best sweet potatoe fries I've ever had!

We were pleasantly surprised by our breakfast here. The coffee was great. The hot chocolate is steamed milk, not boiled water and a packet you can buy at the grocery store. The breakfast sandwich was great and the double chocolate muffins were huge.

Great coffee and breakfast. I had the breakfast burrito and it was awesome. My wife loved her mango smoothie and bacon egg and cheese on a bagel. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was very friendly. Plenty of seating.
