The Daily Grind in Dartford

I thought I’d give this a try, I stumbled upon this place by chance, it looks a welcoming place and the coffee is ok, I ordered a regular latte which was priced at £2.90 but when I checked my card later on I was charged £3.50, so based on being overcharged I will not recommend this place and tell people to avoid it, how many more customers have been overcharged and not know it.

Lovely little place, very friendly staff. I had a great cup of tea and my son enjoyed his hot chocolate together with some delicious cookies.

Just off the main drag. Fantastic doorstop sandwiches made to order, much nicer than all the chain cafes

My daughter and I love this place and were really glad to see it open again. The coffee is excellent, food (especially the sandwiches) delicious and the atmosphere very inviting. We popped in around 11 and were pleased to see they were part of Rishi's meal deal as we call it. The lady serving was very welcoming and a pleasure to talk to. Nothing was too much trouble and she even gave us an evening meal recommendation (Hot Rod Diner) which we are going to next week. So enjoy the food, drink, atmosphere and friendly service!

We discovered this little coffee shop a few months ago. I believe in supporting small businesses and liked the idea that it was tucked away. We’ve frequented it on a weekly basis over the past few months. We went there last Tuesday and the quality of the coffee was poor and only luke warm, we didn’t complain or even mention it. Everyone has bad days! We went back again on Saturday and unfortunately the coffee was very poor again, it could have been instant out of a jar. Two bad experiences in one week has done it for me unfortunately. Sad, as we thought we’d found a hidden gem.

My mum and I visited for the first time today. As I was taking mum out for shopping and lunch, I wanted to find somewhere in Bluewater that wasn't "run of the mill". I'm fed up with all the same old same old coffee shops. Their coffee is boring now, and I was looking for something different and tasty. We stumbled across 'The Daily Grind' and thoroughly enjoyed our food and drinks. Cosy atmosphere, and small premises. Lights were cute on the ceiling. Our sandwiches were fresh and lovely tasting; mum's tea was pleasant and my fresh Americano tasted great. Will definitely go back again. What a change from the coffee chains!

This was my second visit and won’t be my last. This lovely eatery could easily be overlooked but that would be a shame. The coffee is lovely as is the lemon drizzle cake. All the staff are friendly and interactive with customers. Just a lovely place to have a break from the crowds.

We’d seen the Daily Grind open a little while ago and made a mental note to come and check it out. Today we were able to make that visit and it was absolutely worth it! Firstly, there is a nice range of coffee options with the usual Latte, Flat White, Cappuccino, Macchiato, Americano and Espresso on offer, along with a variety of flavoured syrups (for 60p extra). They also offered a variety of hot chocolates (and a rather tasty looking/sounding Caramel Hot Chocolate) and teas. The most expensive coffee was £2.80 for a large, which we thought was really good value. There is a selection of delicious looking sandwiches available, as well as some yogurts and other snacks. There was also a nice selection of cakes, pastries and other baked goods, all well priced. We ordered a flat white and a gingerbread latte and both were delicious. The coffee was nice and balanced, not too bitter and we didn’t feel that any sugar was needed to make it drinkable. The service was also amazing, those working behind the toll and making the drinks obviously love working together and were smiling and happily chatting with each other and with us. The drinks were made quickly and were brought over to us after we’d found a table. The decoration of the shop is cute and it was a nice little rest away from the busy Christmas shoppers. We will definitely be returning here, it is now our favourite little coffee shop in Bluewater, and we both highly recommend it to everyone.

We visited for the first time today and what can I say- I adore it. The staff were the friendliest, funniest baristas I have met and they all genuinely seemed to be having a good time, laughing and joking amongst themselves. The service was brilliant. The atmosphere was great and the decor was very aesthetically pleasing and cute. The coffee was delicious and the cakes looked exceptional- will definitely be back to try one! There looked to be a nice selection of sandwiches, salads and soft drinks too. It was fantastic to see a small, independent coffee company at Bluewater and we can safely say we will choose the Daily Grind over Costa and Starbucks any day.
