1842 Daily Grind & Mercantile

Such a cute ambiance! Retro record player going, as you enjoy your delicious meal. Variety of coffee options!! Locally brewed. Customer service was excellent! Friendly staff. Father and son working together. Very attentive to us and making sure we had all the condiments before we eat. Must visit in Cedar Key!

Best food in all Cedar Key. Egg Sammy with sausage and an iced latte for breakfast then an amazing lunch with chocolate covered key lime pie for dessert.

Great turkey club sandwich, This place is unique little shop/cafe. You need to stop in and check it out. Friendly staff also.

I tried the chocolate covered key lime pie and my husband got a coffee and it was very good! The place was extremely busy when we walked in but we didn’t mind the wait at all! The girl who took our order was super friendly and apologized for the wait. (Again it was absolutely no big deal, it’s a small place with few workers and the wait was really only 5 or so minutes) thank you all for being so friendly even when I know you were all super busy!

This conveniently located coffee shop at the corner of D and 2nd St., with great sandwiches and salads was our go to spot in Cedar Key. We felt right at home and were always welcomed by the friendly staff, Jill and Ali. The coffee was excellent, the muffins were out of this world, and the atmosphere was over the top. We enjoyed the Wall Street Journal when it was there. We miss it and you won't go wrong. Try the chocolate Key Lime treat.

Atmosphere is beachy and retro, the staff were super friendly and the coffee puts the big chains to shame not to mention their breakfast sandwiches are awesome. Items I tried on the menu Seemed to be made with love and top shelf ingredients. Definitely recommend and will be back on my next trip to cedar key. Thank you!

I had both kinds of coffee and they were first rate. The coffee shop was very clean and the service was great.

The coffee and food was pretty good. Would eat there again if the manager wasn't so unfriendly. She was rude to patrons and to her own employees. I assume she was having a bad morning and in a foul mood. There is no reason to talk down on employees especially in front of patrons. Also, no reason to roll your eyes when asked how the eggs for the Sammy is cooked. She also didn't answer the question right. The eggs are not over hard they are hard scrambled. She could use a few management classes or maybe a cup of their coffee they serve.

Food was great but the coffee!!!??? Egads. The quiche was outstanding. I highly recommend it. The coffee? Well. Walked out holding a cup and tossed it when we returned to our place.

The only place in town that actually lists something gluten-free on its menu. The tree hugger quiche, it's pretty good.

Get the dirty chai, which has a shot of espresso. It's real good. They also roast their own beans now.
