Crema's Take

Nestled in Chapin, this independent cafe draws regulars with genuinely handmade everything—from potato-crust quiches to seasonal cold brews like their celebrated pumpkin pie blend—all made to order so you can actually linger and savor. The owner and staff create such a warm, welcoming vibe that people keep coming back not just for the thoughtful food and coffee, but for the genuine kindness that makes you feel like you belong there.

Cute little spot in Chapin for breakfast or lunch. The food was so good! Stay a little while and enjoy—this is not fast food. Everything is handmade and made to order, so I hope people learn a little patience. There was a very impatient patron behind us rushing the poor staff, which was unnecessary. It is a great spot to hang out and relax. The hibachi chicken portion is enough for two and tastes way better than any takeout place around. Absolutely delicious!

We are so excited The Daily Grind is open on Sundays for brunch. Today, we had an incredible quiche that is always gluten free at The Daily Grind. They make the crust from thinly cut potatoes. I’ve also purchased whole quiches from them in the past and served as a breakfast casserole. The owners made my husband a delicious egg bagel and it was also over the top good.

I absolutely LOVED my time here. Not only was the food/coffee great but the staff is so so nice & very accommodating. The owner is an absolute gem & so friendly! She made us feel so welcome & made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely come back again! The scones were AMAZING!

Had a wonderful brunch date with my wife at The Daily Grind today! The cafe has such a warm and inviting atmosphere, just as described. My wife loved her pumpkin pie cold brew - it was the perfect fall treat! went with a classic grilled cheese and cup of chicken soup, and it really hit the spot. Service was friendly and the food came out quickly. We'll definitely be back to try more of their menu. If you're looking for a relaxed spot with great coffee and delicious food, give it a try!
