The Daily Grind Espresso Cafe

Went for the 1st time yesterday with the family. My wife and I ordered black coffee, which is a regular drink for us at a variety of places. My son ordered a hot chocolate. Our beverages were not great. My wife and I didn't even finish our coffees and thought they tasted bitter. My son said his hot chocolate lacked chocolate flavor. As for the environment, it's really busy which usually indicates a good thing — high demand! But after visiting, we have no desire to go back. It's such a tight space that it's difficult to move around, find a place to sit, enjoy your beverages, and even exit when you want to leave. Not a comfortable atmosphere. This may have been influenced by a big event in Stillwater yesterday that caused a spike in traffic, but still that Stillwater is always bustling, an

Nice coffee shop on the river front. Open early mornings promptly. Pick up a coffee and cross the bridge from Minnesota to Wisconsin side!

I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I took my friend here and she loved her Americano drink. They have a nice selection of pastries/treats at the counter that looked delicious. They have a few tables inside to sit at. They also have a nice patio in the back that you can see the river from. It's attached to the bookstore, which is also a neat feature.

This place definitely needs some help. Some of the staff is working their butts off and others could care less. Waited 15 mins for a drink after ordering, only to realize they forgot our order and it wasn’t in the queue. Then they said they couldn’t refund me when I said we had to leave. I don’t blame the workers as it was swamped, but they need better managers and some more training. Unfortunately won’t be coming back.

Cute little coffee shop in the back of the bookstore. Staff is friendly and service is quick. Bathrooms are very nice and large single rooms. They had a very good chai tea latte that wasn't too hot and the price was less than I have paid at other coffee shops.
