Daily Grind Coffee Shop is a my favorite stop in Downtown Spokane. The breakfast sandwiches are always fresh, flavorful, and just the right start to your day. Pair one with their expertly crafted lattes, and you’re in for a real treat—rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced every time. The weekly specials are always worth trying. The lunch sandwiches are just as impressive, packed with quality ingredients and made with care. Whether you’re in for breakfast or lunch, the food here never disappoints. What really sets Daily Grind apart, though, are the owners. They’re incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. Their warmth and dedication create a welcoming environment that makes you feel right at home. If you’re looking for a spot with great food, excellent coffee, and a personal touch, Daily Grind is the place to go.

I manage the Carhartt store downtown. A customer and I were talking about how we love to support local and love mom and pop type places. She recommended this place to me so I went and got lunch there today! Turkey Pesto special WOW! In addition their shop has a wide selection of grab and go as well. I got to meet Cody and Danielle! They were awesome and super friendly. I’m glad I discovered the place

If I could give The Daily Grind more than 5 stars, I would. This place is next-level. The owners are insanely talented — like, spooky-good. It’s as if they were born with a sixth sense for food and drink creation. Every time I visit, there’s something new and brilliant on the menu, and every single thing is a hit. I’m constantly blown away by the creativity and flavor they pack into their daily specials. You can tell they pour their whole hearts into this place — they're not just hardworking, they're inspired. It’s rare to find a spot where the people, the atmosphere, and the food all hit 10/10 every time. Run, don’t walk. And then come back the next day, because something even more amazing will be waiting for you.

Food quality is above and beyond! The owners never fail to deliver the best experience and best food with the friendliest smiles. Great for grab & go and specialty made food. The Hawaiian sandwich is my all time favorite. Best spot in town.

This place is awesome! I go by once a week just for their Turkey, bacon, ranch sandwich. Literally has become my weekly routine. Husband and Wife duo that have always been thankful and appreciative. 100% recommend
