Well what can I say apart from, Jonny can make a salad ! And I mean he can really make a salad. Absolutely unreal is the best way to describe it. If you haven’t been to the daily grind yet for a salad or a sandwich, all I can say is sort your life out and get in there you’re seriously missing out !

This cafe is hidden in the street but just cause it's small and quite doesn't mean it doesn't pack a punch. The sandwiches, toasties and drinks here are brilliant. Everything is cooked and prepared to a high quality. The staff are friendly and nice. All the decor gives the small cafe a warm and cosy vibe.

I found this cafe by chance on the internet when I searched for somewhere to have lunch. I had the prawn open sandwich which was very tasty, well presented and served with a smile. Followed this up with a piece of fresh fruit pavlova which was excellent. The staff and owner couldn’t have been more welcoming. I make a point of never giving 5 stars in any review and I can’t think of anything which would make the Daily Grind drop a point so take my 4 stars as the best I can give. I’ll be back.

I came here for lunch with my family yesterday and asked about any vegan options. Johnny came out and took me through all the options and so so helpful and accommodating. He made me a delicious (massive) salad filled with all sorts of nuts, veg, fruit and came with love crusty bread that had chutney/relish and vegan cheese on it!!! Couldn’t recommend The Daily Grind more!

Was in the Daily Grind about two weeks ago. Ordered the Brie as I always enjoy it. The salad was swimming in a very strong dressing. I couldn’t eat the salad and the dressing also was on the bread. I mentioned this to the waitress who argued that this was the normal way this is served. I know for a fact this was not the normal because I have ordered this so many times and I was very disappointed at her cheeky dismissive attitude. Service and food has always been second to none here, but this has put me of a bit.

The food in The Daily Grind is second to none! There is a huge selection to choose from on the menu and everything is delicious - just make sure you have worked up a good appetite first! The Daily Grind Special and Mary Special are my firm favourites - salads packed full of flavour! Its good honest fresh, healthy food that you wont find anywhere else in town. The staff are fabulous and super helpful and service is really quick so don't be put off if there is a queue for a table. A short wait is definitely worth the mouthwatering food you will get. Deciding on what to order will take you longer than the wait - guaranteed!

I’d call into this place at least once a week! Very well priced and I’ve adopted my own special sandwich. The staff are very helpful and all the sandwiches are made from fresh and I’ve never came away feeling hungry. One of the reasons I always recommend this to people is that they offer a free coffee top-up. This might be trivial but this is a great touch and people notice simple things like that. Keep it up guys!

My family and I eat here regularly (along with half the county!) as their range of fresh, delicious New York deli-style healthy meals have no real competition when it comes to taste, presentation, healthiness and sheer enjoyability in the Downpatrick area. That said, if its a fry, burger or goujons you prefer this place is not for you. The atmosphere is always buzzing and the staff are a real asset - charming, helpful and attentive despite the warm busyness that is the hallmark of successful eateries everywhere. The steep stairs from the street might be a little off-putting for the less mobile but the rewards are worth the climb. Personal favourites include the Buy-one-get-one-Brie and the Prawn Club. The home-made Banoffee Pie is deadly too. The extensive menu makes ditherers of us every visit. Never disappoints.

We finally stopped in here for breakfast, and my only complaint is that it took us so long to try it. I had the granola pot and a flat white, the berries were delicious and fresh, yoghurt was creamy but the show stealer was the homemade granola! It had a hint of cinnamon and was just great. My partner had the brioche and he was very impressed. We had two traybakes and two scones to take away, and everything was excellent. Already looking at their instagram to decide what we will try next time. Also to top it off - service was great too! Really enjoyed everything, thank you!
