I love exploring new coffee shops and found this one randomly. Great coffee, they even have vegan desserts

Told me they had to take my order outside because i didnt have a mask even though i saw multiple people not social distancing without a mask on inside. I could tell the older women who told me this was very neurotic so its not surprising. She also said it to me in a very rude way so i just left. Will never be back thats for sure.

First time today and WOWWWW!!! So good! Get the dirty pumpkin chai + boba then thank me later! Will be coming here for my coffee before work hands down the best in town!

I’ve been going to Daily Projects since the week they opened. I would argue it’s the best coffee shop in the area.Their prices are fair. The drinks are consistently made to perfection. I can’t speak to the food as I’ve never ordered something besides the baked goods (which are very good by the way).Seeing their growth in the last few years has been great to see.I hope when the worlds returns to some form of normalcy that they invite Metric Coffee back out for a workshop. That was a lot of fun!

Yummy strawberries and cream smoothie. Lovely atmosphere. Bathroom could use some cleaning.I would not recommend coming if you are covid-cautious. Many people without masks, even when they were up walking around and not seated at their table.

Very pretty venue with great tasting coffee! Will go again. The menu is expansive and the food is quality.We went when it was quite busy, and a few things could have been better.When you order coffee, they dont ask for a name or give you a number. As a result, there was lots of confusion about whose coffee was whose after it was made. Im pretty sure another customer got my order as they ordered the same thing after but claimed the first made (How would they have known not to?).Food is brought to a sign they give you at ordering, but perhaps because it was busy, these werent always collected after food was delivered. And, since you have to get your coffee at the counter but food at your table, there were many numbers at tables with no people, or worse, food at tables unattended while people stood for their coffee. Itd be nice if coffee and food could be brought together so this wasnt the case.Besides these few hiccups, it was a perfect experience. And, Im sure, these are only issues when its really busy.Edit: Been back in less busy times. Service has been great each time. Above comments still stand, but I figure now Im a regular they deserve 5 vs 4 stars.

The cashier was really rude to my friend. I love to support local businesses and have worked for them, so It was disappointing because I really like this place. Needs some friendlier staff.

Worst customer service ever. The cashier was so rude and seemed to be inconvenienced by my request for a mug rather than a disposable cup, and by questions I had about what was available. I would definitely return here if she was terminated.

The environment is super cute and trendy. The menu offers a variety and your not so basic coffee selections. This place is great to get work done or just to have a coffee and enjoy small talk with friends! Coffee and food options are great!

Left this review on Yelp and figured it also belonged here:Always happy to come in and give some money to this business. The drinks are always thought over by the staff and you can expect a very clean/easy experience. Im a cafe worker at a local Barnes and Noble and the one thing that consistently impressed me about Daily Projects is the work they put in to achieve a friendly atmosphere. The staff is great and pays a lot of attention to making sure the regulars feel welcomed. For example, as someone who isnt allowed to ask people to wear a mask at my job, I can guarantee you that while the policy might lead to a couple grumbling reviews from people who had never stepped foot in the place previously, there are a dozen more considerate people who were silently appreciating that the staff had their backs.In times like these, when Im not eating out too much anyways, this is exactly the kind of spot I feel justified in spending my money. Go support these guys! Keep up the good work DP!

Very cute atmosphere and friendly staff. I love the vast array of drink and food options as well - makes it seem more special.

They sell really good vegan donuts on Saturdays. Really really good lattes.

Very relaxed vibe. The coffee was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented! I had the chocolate ganache salted caramel latte and it was amazing! The quiche was one of the best quiches Ive ever had! Definitely a place to check out! I cant wait to go back and try something different!

My favorite coffee place. Super friendly staff and their coffee/tea is amazing. Just tried their breakfast sandwiches the other day…and delicious.

Super clean, friendly staff and the Jasmine green tea was some of the best I have ever had. Lots is space and decorated very tastefully. Great place to work away from home or meet a client or colleague.

I have driven by this place before several times when I had to travel on Algonquin Rd. to get to the place I used to work at and never knew what it was. Last week I met my mangers for the curtain place I work at here for a one-on-one meeting. I looked up the menu online and was happy to find 3 drinks that would interest me. As someone who has issues with dairy, I was happy to see that there were non-dairy alternatives to be added to drinks if need be. Also, I saw a wonderful treat on the menu that I wanted to give a try as well.I had a hard time deciding between the 3 drinks ((midnight moon lemonade, hibiscus shaker which has coconut milk already in it, and hibiscus berry sparkling iced tea)), but I was able to settle on one, which was the midnight moon lemonade made with butterfly blue tea and lemonade. Im so glad that I got this drink because it tasted so good and it was such a lovely color as well! It does need to be mixed up, so you dont get a mouth full of the syrup thats within it. Even my mangers though that the color of the drink looked awesome.It was still socially distanced inside of the building, but we were still able to find a spot to sit and it felt nice and comfortable inside as well. I liked all the art work on the walls and all the other decor that was scattered around as well. We sat at the long table in the middle of one of the rooms and I didnt feel as if there were a lot of people hovering around and breathing down my neck. It was pretty quiet in there and we kept our voices at a nice volume, but there was one guy on a Zoom Meeting, so he was a lot louder than everyone else within the building. Kind of annoying and I even felt embarrassed as well, even though I didnt know this guy.The only reason Im docking one star is because THE KITCHEN CLOSES AT 2PM!!!! Yes, that needs to be in all caps because I know there are people who are going to go there and hope for a warm treat only to be disappointed that the kitchen is closed. I was looking forward to the fruit waffle, as Im a dog walker and was out walking dogs all day before the meeting, so I was really hungry! I was so upset when I found out that I couldnt get the waffle because my meeting time was after 2pm. I ended up getting a chocolate crescent from the pasty case. It held me over for the walk I had after the meeting, but it wasnt something I could live off of. I noticed that their hours are pretty short, as it looks like they close at either 4 or 5pm, but I wish theyd keep the kitchen open until closing, so anyone who stops by can grab something warm and fresh to eat.

Visited for the first time this evening and was super impressed. Best lavender vanilla latte I have ever had!!

I’m absolutely in love with the coffee and smoothies here. So fresh and delicious.In addition, avocado toast is the best I ever had around suburbs.I also would like to give a complement to “Lauren” the cute girl who works there.I love that kind of attitude of service and she has always been amazing every time I come in. Always nice to everyone and kind. Keep that good service!Over all food and service are outstanding!!

Lavender vanilla latte was delicious! Definitely will come back.

I love this place and wish I still lived in the area to go more often! Sometimes on weekends I drive a half hour just to come back. They have amazing drinks and food! I love the atmosphere and the staff is always friendly.

Drove an hour to meet a former coworker for coffee. Great coffee and my food was delicious. If Daily Projects was 20 minutes away, I’d give up Starbucks to come here daily.

IMO this place has changed for the worse since they first opened, and it’s a big bummer. Came in on a weekend (granted, 30 minutes from close) and was pretty disappointed by the brisk, impersonal service and overall poor upkeep of the place. The decor is strangely pieced together and the atmosphere feels cluttered and a little grimy. Plus, the cup the barista gave me for my tea was dirty. Yuck.

This is the first time at this place. Unfortunately my experience there was terrible. The girl behind the glass of the counter tells me I have to lift my mask. She didn’t welcomed me or anything and when I said I have a respiratory issue she just said: you have to leave. And I left.I understand the time and the situations we all are going through, but we shouldn’t forget to be polite and understanding. And is not that this place was crowded. It was not.I was with my daughter and I was very close to the entrance door. No body else was there, except a few customers sitting at the table area on the other side of the Coffee Bar. It’s true that my mask wasn’t all the way covering my nose. However, I had half of the nostrils of my nose exposed to breathe since my nostrils are very small due to a surgery I had many years ago.I believe reviews in business help to grow.I won’t be coming back. Not for the the mask incident, but for the lack of customer service.

Excellent coffee selection, superb service, and great store environment to enjoy a cup of your favorite java.

Edited to say that the sandwiches here are AMAZING. Only had pastries before which were great, but the egg bagel and chicken pesto sandwiches that my fiance and I just devoured were EXCELLENT. You will wait a bit longer for the sandwiches because theyre not frozen nonsense.Great food with great variety of flavors for both coffee and food! Their cookies are great for dunking in coffee too!Super nice folks, too! Always happy to give my pup a puppaccino 😉

Their menu is limited but the avocado toast is amazing. Coffee is delicious. Will be back.

One of the best coffee shops. They have a great selection of coffee and other drink options. There food is outstanding. The egg and cheese sandwich is fantastic. If you are looking for a great place for coffee and a bite this should be on your list.

Perfect place to have a meeting, study, or start your day with unique coffee flavors

Good environment inside, and friendly staff. However the past several times Ive been there, the drinks have consistently been made incorrectly or forgotten about. Try Conscious Cup in Crystal Lake instead.

A new gem for the burbs!I currently live in Milwaukee but grew up and lived in the Algonquin area for most of my life. There were a few cafes that would pop up that were nice, but they often didn’t last very long unfortunately. Even though I would much rather support a local coffee shop, It seemed like the only consistent coffee destination available was Starbucks. When I moved to Milwaukee I got spoiled by the sheer volume of excellent local coffee shop options it has to offer. A Milwaukee friend got a job in the northwest burbs and asked me if I had any coffee shop suggestions in the area, and I wasn’t able to encourage him on the subject, because the burbs really don’t have a ton to offer! But now I’m happy to say I now can give a suggestion if I get asked again!This place is clean, has friendly and kind staff. It has a good selection of coffee and tea. Normally I’m a coffee person, but I had already reached my max caffeine intake for the day so I opted for some of the Shaken teas. The Chamomile Grapefruit tea was delicious. It seems to be the perfect atmosphere to get work done or catch up with a friend!Definitely impressed to find this place in Algonquin!

I’ve been coming here for coffee and light meals since they opened Daily Projects. I pass 5 other places to get coffee and the owners Kevin and Sang are the main reasons why. Also their coffee is very very good

Came here for the first time today and I can honestly say it did not disappoint. They had a very versatile menu. For a non-coffee drinker like myself, I liked that had a ton of options for me to choose from. They had coffee, tea, smoothies, and even food. They made it very challenging for me to choose just one drink! I really liked the Strawberry Matcha Latte and their snickerdoodle cupcake. In my opinion, the prices were fair to the quality of their goods. I will definitely be going back to try more of their unique creations.

Great service, specially drinks and coffee. They don’t load up the drinks with ice like Starbucks.

I love this place! Their coffee and food is great. I would highly recommend the breakfast burrito (I get it every time). The staff have always been so pleasant and I’ve never had a bad experience. Definitely worth a try! I’ve become a regular now.

Nice clean interior and the food and drinks were amazing!

Cute place and tasty drinks but the girl with curly hair should work on her service skills (acting rude).

Beware! The salad is so incredibly delicious, there is no way it is good for your figure.. But, worth it! The BLT is also sooo amazing. Love everything here.

Great coffee, nice and cozy place with friendly staff. I ordered a goat and avocado sandwich and a latte and everything was very tasty!

Everything was okay but personally I don’t like intelligentsia coffee.

The person that took the order was sweet as pie but who I would guess is the owner was just rude and uptight, she was snappy about everything and when I tried to upgrade my cup size to fit a customization she refused and insisted it would fit in the smaller cup even with additions which seems silly since I was willing to pay for a larger size but I guess even though they have the larger size they wont sell it that way no matter what. Ended up with way over priced coffee and didnt even likely get all of it. Will not be back in.

Nice friendly place to order and enjoy a variety of coffee drinks. Food items look good, although I have not tired any yet.

Great coffee shop, great vibe! Daily Projects has a fabulous vibe! They are a great community of people⭐️

This is the only place I would go to for boba in a 15 mile radius (maybe it’s the only one in that radius, who knows?). The staff are always kind and the drinks are great! I’m not much of a coffee drinker, I always go for a dirty chai latte and it definitely satisfies my sweet tooth.

Come and enjoy a great pour over in a great coffee place, ready to work, read, relax or why not? even pray... the music selection is a perk!

Ordered 2 lavender blackberry earl greys. 1 had milk. 1 did not. Waited 30 minutes for a avocado tuna sandwich. 3 people ordered after me and received their food. I was then asked what I was waiting for and they told the kitchen. Cashier referred to me as sir multiple times to which I responded “ma’am”. I was then asked after 30 minutes if I also ordered a muffin, which I had received 30 minutes prior to. 3 people also walked in without masks so either there is no mask ordinance here or they don’t enforce it. Don’t recommend.

Daily Projects is, BY FAR, my favorite coffee shop. I will drive 15min out of my way to have their coffee. Its fantastic. Their food is also delicious, but I havent had it since they changed the menu. I used to LOOOVE their avocado toast, I hope they bring it back someday.

Amazing place the food is great and the service was great. Will be going there a lot this year.

Very nice big coffee shop. Delicious.

How does a business, based on coffee service, not open until 7:30 in the morning? And maybe when someone who doesnt expect that comes in @ 7:20, you should ask them if there is anything you CAN help them with, instead of just saying we arent open yet.

The staff here are so friendly. Their coffee is great!

Tater tots are out of this world 🤠🤯🪐

Try the weekly specials.Pretty good

Great spot for coffee. Have seen the owner/manager a few times and he has a true passion and knowledge for what hes doing. They make an OUT OF THIS WORLD Quiche Loraine but its not always on the menu.. certainly get it if you see it!

Love the atmosphere of the place. But went in close to closing time and got a pretty bad drink. It was barely warm and not prepared as usual. Maybe end of the day slump will try again in the morning when staff are fresher. Wish I didn’t pay $5 for such a bad hot coco.

Excellent coffee beans, crafted into equally excellent coffee drinks. Delicious pastries. Well lit, clean, and modern aesthetic - you know... the coffee shop vibe. Requisite white tile and woodgrain are in ample supply. Plants are a nice touch.

Love this place. The baristas are so kind and professional, and the coffee let me tell ya is AHH-MAZING

Love their egg & cheese breakfast sandwich on a brioche - with bacon of course (crispy, just how I love it)!

Such a wide variety of teas and coffees! Cool space to boot! Good vibe from the mix of people who frequent this little staple. Join friends for coffee or being your tablet to get some work done. Try the food too! They have some interesting spins on old cafe classics. You wont be disappointed!

The best coffee and tea in the area! Plus the staff is super nice and they all give great recommendations too!

Great atmosphere and a variety of coffee and tea options!

I absolutely love this place but unfortunately don’t see myself going here anymore. They changed their smallest size from 12oz to 16oz- adding more milk to a latte. Now I can barely taste the espresso and if I ask for an extra shot of course I will be charged. Their lavender lattes were amazing and my favorite before they changed the sizes. Now I just taste milk.

This is the second time I have been here. The first time the checkout person didnt get everything I had ordered and had to clarify my order 3-4 times. I thought: Well, it happens...thats okay. Today Im here and my grilled cheese took way longer than it should take to make a grilled cheese AND the cheese is not melted. It is, in fact, cold, between two modestly toasted pieces of bread. My dudes. Get better.

My favorite place for a morning cup of coffee! I leave early for work just so I can stop in ahead of time!

One of the bests places for coffee in the area. Everyone is super friendly, everything is clean, and there’s lots of seating. One star off because they changed the menu and the old one was way better :(

Just had coffee and a sandwich in this place. Great atmosphere great food great staff and clean environment. I have been to many coffee shops around this area but I would still choose daily projects over anywhere although it’s quite a long drive.

Best cold brew I had yet. It was so delicious and smooth. Sat down to enjoy the day and it was perfect. Having a sweet treat balances the strong coffee flavor and it was awesome.

A great spot, and though its not always busy, a popular one. Main thing: a place for people to get a cafe drink and maybe light food while getting work done or just meet someone - but by name the former. They offer top quality local coffees and a modest menu of higher-end daytime light fare. The atmosphere is a mix of minimalistic rugged/modern with some light natural touches. Great for concentration. There is music on one side but the other, larger side is quieter, which is my preference. Accessible location. Expect higher pricing than the average cafe.

Very rude. Didnt seem to have much time to deal with our order. I wont be going back.

Absolutely amazing coffee. I always get one of the pour overs, and I have not been disappointed. They are so flavorful and delicious. The bakery items that Ive had arent the greatest but the coffee makes up for it. It is a cute shop with lots of space and very friendly employees. 10/10 would recommend. Also, sign up for the reward system the first time you go.

A great place to work or concentrate, connect with a friend, or just enjoy something delicious. Great coffee and food, awesome service. Theyve put in a lot of attention to detail to make for enjoyable experiences. Highly recommend!

WOW! Daily Projects is a hidden GEM! great atmosphere, great proximity for client meetings, and a clean establishment. I will and definitely recommend meetings with clients at the intersection of Randall and Algonquin - easy access, great place! OH- and the coffee- very good, something different, and a friendly staff - i had the slow pour, and then a drip to go - both were great. I didnt get the staffs name, but the young ladies were both pleasant - thank you!

I love the Intelligentsia El Diablo blend! DP has some unique, tasty breakfast items as well. Lots of room to spread out and work on reports. Love this place!

Absolutely love this place! There coffee makes Starbucks look like a joke! Its brewed to perfection with numerous options! Tried a pumpkin spice latte both iced and hot and it was the best psl I have ever had! They dont use a weird orange syrup like Starbucks its real spice the way it should be done! The food items are top notch you must try the chess pie! Its beautiful inside very spacious and modern. The service is also good! My only complaint is I would love a bigger cup option coffee is just too good for the small cups they offer

The shop is aesthetically pleasing and the employees there were welcoming. As for the coffee itself, Ive been here a few times and have tried a variety of their flavors. I have never been disappointed one bit. The coffees are so well done that cream and sugar are not needed to make to drink desirable.

The chocolate milkshakes here are life-changing. The space is also huge and beautiful with outlets everywhere. I’ll definitely be going back.

Love this place! Great coffee!

I absolutely love this place!! I work right across the street. So, it is convenient minus traffic. Besides that, I LOVE the atmosphere and the workers. They are so fun, friendly, and welcoming! Theyre the best!!

Dear owners: Please provide your basil plants with a lot more sunlight! They are turning so pale without the sun!!Review: This place is great. Ive been looking for a cafe to hangout and do work at in the city but never found one as good as this one. Coffee, smoothies, and food are all really good. Highly recommend the Alpha Kale smoothie. Music arent too loud or annoying, and most importantly, the temperature is prefect! Most places are either too cold or too hot to stay for long. The services are fast and staffs are really friendly. Plenty of spaces and outlets too. I wish this place can be my regular place for study and work but I live so far away. I cant wait to go back next time Im in the burbs!!

Im always looking for a coffee place off the beaten chain path. For that alone it piqued my interest while I was out for a ride.This place has great coffee, friendly service and an inviting atmosphere. Perfect for dropping in or spending an hour to get some reading done.

Been going here since they opened. They do good work, always deliver quality, and have great personal service. Great place and great new business to have in the community.

Friendly, engaging employees and manager. Ask them for recommendations and they never fail. Variety of drinks and food. Go visit if youre in the neighborhood. Ample parking. Open indoor space. Reasonably priced.

Good place to get some work done. Plenty of outlets and good coffee

Ive been going to Daily Projects almost weekly since they opened. They recently rebranded, & every one I talk to can agree that we wish it would go back to how it used to be. It was always a light & airy place to study, chat with friends over coffee, or grab a delicious, healthy bite to eat. Seriously, everyone was obsessed with Daily Projects. Now, its converted into a diner that sells shakes and burgers from open to close, covers their sunny windows with lace, and plays their music too loud.Their food went up in price and down in portion size. Although the coffee is still amazing, their baristas used to understand coffee and you could sense their passion for it, but now its mostly high school kids who seem very confused with the new changes and branding--just as much as all the customers. Every time Im in there, something has changed, and the lack of consistency is bad for customer reliability.The area needs a coffee shop, not an overpriced stake n shake. Hope it brings back their yummy food and good vibes. Wishing Daily Projects the best, its been the place to go for years!

Great coffe, great food, great employees, great vibe. Love the oatmilk latte and the veggie breakfast burrito! Theres tons of seating and plenty of outlets to charge devices. And they play great music thats never too loud. All around wonderful.

My favorite new place close to my home with very good coffee/tea menu. Real food, natural ingredients. The best Cortado ever! Im so happy we have this shop in Algonquin now!

Love this place. Delicious coffees and food. Great atmosphere for working or hanging with friends. I will be back!

I meet with my local co-working group here on a weekly basis. I get greeted by name by the owner, Sang, which makes me feel welcome. They serve Intellegentsia coffee, and the food is top notch. I recommend the new oatmeal item on the menu, very delicious with candied nuts and fruits.The quiches are also very good.

A much needed trend setter here in the burbs! Coffee is spot on. Owners are amiable, knowledgeable and dedicated. Kids love the space (minus one odd photo on the wall).Personally, I recommend the vanilla cold brew! Follow on social media for updates, specials and shot outs - tweets and such are not in excess. Support your local biznez! 🤘🏻

Daily Projects is a great place! I love their coffee and menu items. Definitely try one of their sandwiches and a smoothie. The atmosphere is totally chill and the staff is friendly and helpful. They only downside is that most items are a little pricy.

Absolutely love this place! The drinks are fantastic and overall has a wonderful atmosphere. The managers are super friendly along with the staff as well. By far, one of my favorite coffee shops ever!!

Great place to grab coffee and a quick bit. Ive been a part of several group meetings here and they are always accommodating. I have yet to have a drink I didnt like and service is always great.

First time was a pleasant experience. I look forward to coming back and trying new food/drink items.

Beautiful coffee. Really cozy atmosphere. Great place to bring a friend or sister.❤

As much as my wife likes the coffee, it seems over priced for what you get. We went in for breakfast, got two basic breakfast sandwiches, one small latte and a smoothie and it was close to $30. The sandwich was ok, but nothing special. So if you love coffee maybe it is worth it, but not for me.

I absolutely love Daily Projects, and think I prefer Intelligentsia coffee to Starbucks. I love the roomy atmosphere, ample seating, and the fantastic work spaces! Looking forward to having future meetings here, quiet study times and good coffee.

Great little place to go if you ever work out of your house. Great coffee, tons of power outlets, and free quick cup refills if youre hanging out there.The staff is super friendly and Im more than happy to support this great local business.

Shopping local is easy, but its even easier when all the boxes are checked off.Daily projects seeks to bring a diverse, and regularly changing menu to an area plagued by global coffee chains.To me what sets daily projects apart from other companies is that they offer a broad swath of new flavors and experiences for you to try, without any sort of elitist implied understanding.Service here is fast and friendly. The staff could not be nicer and more patient with non-coffee snobs like myself and are quick to offer a suggestion if youre looking to try something new.Additionally the food here is really really good. I suggest the breakfast burrito, its the best.Overall I hope the daily project continues to florish and prosper, because these are the kind of nice things we are not supposed to have

SUPERB and OUTSTANDING COFFEE. I had a coffee with muddled mint leaves in it; it was one of the best coffees I have ever had!Great atmosphere! I LOVE THIS PLACE!

Deliciously crafted coffee and awesome sandwiches. I feel like Im in the city when I come here. They have style and good vibes for all.

Stopped here during a work break and got some espresso and steamed milk. Pretty simple order but they didnt charge for the milk, and also included some sparkling water!Baristas were super friendly and efficient.
