Daydrinkers

daydrinkers feels like the quintessential neighborhood coffee shop. People walk in with dogs and babies and it's just a generally friendly, neighborly experience to be there. Depending on the day, I might pick daydrinkers as a meeting location, a place to do some focused work for a bit, or a spot to read or journal. The best spot is the table for two by the door, but there's not really a bad spot in the entire place. Another bonus, there are almost always allergy-friendly pastry options, like dairy-free cookies or muffins, which are a huge bonus because I have a family member with a dairy allergy and other coffee shops don't have items they can eat. If you go on a weekend, you should know to expect long lines and a wait for your drink, because the regulars know it's worth it.

You won't find a better spot in Greenville. The owners care SO much about this place and it shows in everything they do. The staff is incredible and the pastries are to die for!

We were excited to try this new coffee shop after hearing a lot of positive buzz. My son and I stopped in together. He ordered an iced chai latte and a pastry. He usually orders chai lattes wherever we go and rarely has any complaints, but this one tasted very mild almost like cold milk with little chai flavor. His pastry was also a bit dry. I ordered a hot caramel macchiato and a pastry. My pastry was good, though the drink itself was only lukewarm rather than hot. While the experience didn’t quite meet our expectations this time, we hope things improve as the shop settles in and wish them the best.

Came on a Sunday at 11am. Waited in line for 15 minutes and then the coffee came out at 11:50. After 15 minutes happy to find a place to sit. Ordered coffee for eat in, and they put it in paper cups. Had to ask for a mug and then pour it in myself which destroyed the entire essence of the foam milk on top. Cappuccino was only whole milk, cream, almond or oat. All pastries were pretty much gone. Overnight oats was pretty good. In a plastic container. Cappuccino was sub par. Little flavor and just looked like milk on top with little foam. Hot chocolate was just OK. Chocolate chip cookie was good. Apple pastry good. Just took what was left. Was not worth the 45 minute wait and $23 for 3 small drinks, two pastries and overnight oats. Left and went to lunch somewhere else.

Very busy. But very worth it. They offer very diverse baked goods. Homemade syrups. The Baristas are super patient and friendly explaining all the drinks and food we asked about. Would definitely come back if I'm on this side of town.
