Best KPortal Reviews

First timer here and had a good experience. While parking lot was not that spacious but we managed to get one.
We sat outside and it was a great outdoor vibe for brunch. Good service and friendly server/staffs.
Food came great on steak omelette, Philly steak, breakfast burritos, Nutella waffle. All the steak meat was juicy and well-seasoned. Coffee was good too. Loved all the food we ordered, but if anything to improve on food, I’d say they should make the coating of chicken fried steak thicker and crunchier.
For service, I think all good except maybe they should put condiments tray (salt, pepper, sugar, jam, sauce etc) by default, customers shouldn’t be requesting it.
Will come back for sure.
Very nice waiters, definitely conscious about my nut allergy. The food was delicious and delivered in a reasonable time. This is a very cute café to work or bring a loved one. Prices are decent. We ordered the chilaquiles with chicken, the biscuit meal, and a mocha coffee. It is all highly recommended. We will definitely come again.
I live in Arizona, been traveling to San Diego for 12 years, discovered The Daily Grind and I go there for breakfast when I'm in town. Great place to go. Staff are always courteous. Love it ????
Extremely disappointed with our visit today! Two of the five people in our group ordered lunch-type food and both dishes were absolutely tasteless and unappealing. The service was slow; no follow-up to refill coffee and other drinks; dishes were delivered to the table at different times, even as much as 10 minutes apart although all ordered at the same time and the restaurant was not that crowded; and the musician playing on the patio was too loud and not very good. The prices are quite high for the quality of the food, and after today’s visit, we will not be returning.
The cutest little place with local art for sale and lots of plants inside, It’s very homey and welcoming and lots of outdoor seating.
The food is amazing and the iced coffee is so good. A large size seems to be the standard and for the price is well worth it ($4 and some change) The sweetest older lady who I assume was the owner made our experience wonderful.
I stopped in during the morning and I thought it was a cute little place. This place has so much to choose from. I ordered a breakfast burrito with sausage and avocado and had an iced matcha with oat milk. The customer service was on point. The portion of the food they serve you is worth the money. Dolce is a great server, 11/10????
This is a cute little restaurant the food is good big portions friendly and clean however I'm only given them four stars because seating was quick but took them 40 minutes to bring me my food and only because I asked about our food when they brought my food it was barely warm I had to ask them to reheat it and when she brought it back she forgot my sourdough toast also there are only two waitresses there with a restaurant full of customers
The food is tasty. However, I knocked out a star because service needs work. When you walk in you don't know if you wait to be seated or just take a table. Also, they seem to lack coordination and communication with the kitchen. If they can get that fixed this place would rank higher for me.
