Such a lovely coffee shop and experience! I recently visited The Daily to work on some tasks and projects and I'm so glad that I did.
After reading great reviews on Yelp from my fellow Elites and Yelpers, I made my way over. When I arrived around 10am or so, parking out front was full but there were also multiple spots in the parking lot off to the side of the building. Upon entry, I loved that it wasn't incredibly jam-packed at the front with people as the line was moving along quickly, allowing me to stand and be indecisive for a bit. As I waited, I took a peek at their awesome line of merch that included coffee mugs, shirts, and more, all super cute goodies!
I decided to start with a coffee while I waited for my intern to join me, going with a large vanilla latte w/oat milk. I was bummed to learn that there wasn't a real cup big enough to hold the large coffees so it was served in the paper cup. Obviously not a big mood killer in any way, I just like to avoid them when possible and the latte would have been cuter in a mug lolol. BUT - it was so delicious! On my 2nd round, I went with a medium size and it came in a regular coffee mug. To eat, I opted for their avocado toast special that included an egg, tomatoes, and bacon. I was too busy talking and let my egg get cold, but i really enjoyed the parts that I did eat! The bacon was especially delicious.
So interesting to read reviews regarding their lack of wifi as the team must have acknowledged that feedback as wifi was available when I visited. Yay! It was super fast and after the 2hr block of time, it was easy to get the password to continue my remote working session there. BUT --- BUT --- the lack of outlets was surprising. There were about 2-3 that were available, most at 2-top tables that weren't spacious enough to really work. Now, if the idea is that people should be focused on eating there vs. working, totally understand. But adding some power outlets under the tables (even the larger working tables in the middle) would be so awesome. I had such a wonderful, cozy table but then my laptop began to die and my intern and I had no choice but to move to a smaller table that would be more ideal for 1. Only part of this experience that caused pause for me.
The service here was exceptional like the food/drinks they offer! The team member that assisted me was so sweet and patient. She took the time to share her personal favorites, allowed me a moment to be indecisive and was just so pleasant. When I was searching for outlets, she went out of her way to help me confirm that I wasn't missing any so I'd be comfortable. Such a sweetheart!
I will definitely be back, but I'll have an extension cord and will glue myself to the first outlet I find. :)
