More Than Just Coffee: Our Story

Our Story

The Daily Grind began as a simple dream: to create a community gathering place where the aroma of freshly roasted coffee intertwined with the warmth of human connection. In 2010, Amelia Stone, a lifelong Seattle resident and coffee enthusiast, turned this dream into a reality. Driven by a passion for quality and a commitment to local sourcing, Amelia opened the doors of The Daily Grind on 2nd Avenue in Belltown.

From the very beginning, The Daily Grind distinguished itself with its dedication to ethically sourced beans. Amelia partnered with local roasters who shared her values, ensuring that every cup of coffee told a story of sustainability and fair trade. The cafe quickly became known for its exceptional espresso, expertly crafted lattes, and a selection of delectable pastries baked fresh daily.

The cafe's interior, carefully designed by Ethan Walker, a local architect renowned for his use of natural light and comfortable spaces, reflects Amelia's vision of a welcoming environment. The exposed brick walls, cozy armchairs, and rotating display of local artwork create an atmosphere that is both inviting and inspiring. Over the years, The Daily Grind has become more than just a coffee house; it's a hub for community events, live music, and artistic expression.

We've seen countless friendships blossom over steaming cups of coffee, witnessed artists find inspiration within our walls, and celebrated the milestones of our loyal customers. The Daily Grind is a testament to the power of community and the simple joy of a well-crafted cup of coffee. We are proud to be a part of the vibrant tapestry of Seattle, and we look forward to serving our community for many years to come.
