“ Delicious warm breakfast sandwiches and tasty cinnamon rolls. The coffee was great also. This place also has ice cream and donuts as well. ”
“ Croissant is delicious and hot and the ice latte I got was made out of turtles and mocha. This establishment has plenty of flavors and options to satisfy your needs of clothing, snacks, food and drink. I will recommend this place to everyone that happens to be a tourist in Topsail Beach like myself. ”
“ Fun little coffee shop. It's our go to for the whole family because they have something for everyone. Delicious coffee syrup blends and, hands down, the best frappes and iced lattes around. Staff is very friendly, and the live music talent is always on par for a fun evening. Highly recommend. It's our first stop on the island and always the last as we drive home every year with daily stops in between during our annual visits. This is a must. You won't be disappointed! ”
“ This place is excellent. The workers are very friendly and prices are very reasonable. We got an iced latte with white chocolate and caramel and a snickers frappe. Also the bacon egg and cheese croissant was wonderful!! ”
“ Best place around for a breakfast sandwich and coffee! Service was prompt and friendly. Food was tasty and coffee flavors were delicious while not being overly sweet! ”
“ This place is amazing! Literally the best cinnamon roll we’ve ever had- the breakfast croissants are delish- and the drink menu is huge! The Milky Way Frappe was incredible- 10/10 recommend stopping here! ”
“ We had an awesome experience at The Daily Grind in Topsail! The coffee was delicious, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the donuts were out of this world—I would’ve posted a picture, but we ate them too fast! The menu had so many great options, and the whole place had such a fun, relaxed vibe. We also loved browsing their merch—lots of cute and unique finds. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area! ”
“ First time in Topsail, and our first morning here we came to Daily Grind. My iced latte was delicious and the croissant sandwich was the chefs kiss, literally loved that we could sit inside outside as well. My husband got the cold brew (said it was delicious) and the sourdough bagel sandwich, also said it was really good. A GREAT compliment because we make sourdough bagels at home that are his favorite. The only thing is the menu is super limited when it comes to food - but that’s okay because the sandwiches are outstanding ”
