Our Story
The story of The Daily Grind begins in 2010 with a simple dream: to create a neighborhood cafe where everyone feels welcome and can enjoy exceptional coffee and freshly baked goods. Evelyn Reed, a Seattle native with a lifelong passion for coffee and pastries, turned that dream into reality when she opened the doors of The Daily Grind in the heart of Belltown.
Evelyn’s journey started long before the cafe itself. From a young age, she was captivated by the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans and the artistry of creating the perfect espresso drink. She spent years honing her skills as a barista, learning from the best in the industry and developing a deep understanding of the nuances of coffee brewing. At the same time, she nurtured her love for baking, experimenting with recipes and perfecting her techniques to create mouthwatering pastries that would complement her coffee creations.
The Daily Grind quickly became a local favorite, known for its cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and, of course, its exceptional coffee and pastries. Evelyn’s commitment to using only the highest quality ingredients and her dedication to providing outstanding customer service set the cafe apart from the competition. Over the years, The Daily Grind has grown and evolved, but its core values have remained the same: quality, community, and a passion for creating memorable experiences for every guest.
We’ve expanded our menu to include a wider variety of breakfast and lunch options, catering to diverse tastes and dietary preferences. We’ve also embraced sustainable practices, sourcing our ingredients from local farms and minimizing our environmental impact. But most importantly, we’ve remained true to our original vision of creating a place where people can connect, relax, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. We are proud to be a part of the Seattle community and look forward to serving you for many years to come. From our signature lattes to our freshly baked croissants, every item on our menu is crafted with love and care. We invite you to visit us and experience the Daily Grind difference for yourself.
