They roast their own beans in house and offer a bunch of different options - the newest one is Maple Nut Crunch and it is sooo good. Definitely a little weird to be driving up to a factory or warehouse like building but they need all that space for what they do. You can try a different cup of drip coffee depending on what they decide to make that day.

Our Roastery Facility is open to the public every Monday and Friday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Nice new business in Winchester. It is conveniently located near the intersection of Lexington Ave…read moreand the Bypass. One of the best features is all of their selection is listed on the drive thru menu board. Sometime you go to a donut restaurant place and all of the possibilities are not listed. So you end up ordering by memory and obviously you end up with the same thing. I ordered a mixed dozen donuts so I could try a wide selection of options. I also had an apple fritter thrown in for good measure. I enjoyed the fritter as well as the maple sugar donut. The glazed donuts were also enjoyable. The staff were friendly and the service was fast and efficient. I also ordered a small 8oz coffee. You really do not know how small 8oz is until you order one. Tiny cup. Next time I stop by I will order some more of their exotic donuts and get a 16oz coffee. Take a moment and stop by their drive thru and get you some Dounts to start your day off right.

The line was long and it didn't move as fast as you think it would. We actually sat for several minutes with no movement at all. When I pulled up a lady with an iPad, came to take my order and asked me what I wanted. I didn't know what I wanted because I couldn't see a menu. This was my first time. So she started trying to tell me what they had and I really wanted to look at the menu in the drive-through before I made a decision, but I didn't get that opportunity. She didn't even have anything to hand me to review what was on the menu. So I asked her to just make me some sort of latte and I landed on a banana bread. The taste was just OK. It didn't blow me away and I didn't try it and think dang this is delicious. It was literally mediocre. Based on this, I don't know that I'll ever give it a try again because the first experience was underwhelming

It is the only smoothie place on my way to work.

I've gone through about 15 customer appreciation cards so far. 10 punches and you earn a freebie! This is by far my favorite coffee shop ever. They know exactly how to make your beverage perfect for you, and they'll even customize everything on the menu to your liking. Even the whipped cream tastes like it was freshly whipped, not that fake stuff. And the chocolate covered espresso beans top everything off perfectly. Did I mention they offer freshly made donuts and pastries by Frank's too? Best ever. Go. You'll be so happy you didn't opt for that other chain coffee place. read more

I start my day off with The Daily Grind about 5 days a week. I'm sad when I don't get to go. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I'll take a mocha or iced flavored coffee drink from The Daily Grind any day of the week. Their prices are actually a little cheaper than a couple other chain coffe places in Winchester. Yes, sometimes you might have to wait due to the line, but that's because IT'S THAT GOOD! There's just something unique about their flavor. They have the best baristas too! read more
