The Daily Grind

Such a welcoming vibe. I got the Berklee Lotus and it was fantastic. They are already community supporters too. A different look and feel from traditional the Traditional Northwoods but they pull it off. Already looking forward to going back.

I was hoping the new place would compare to the previous coffee shop that was there before called Blend. Have been going there since they opened. That place was top notch: excellent food (homemade soups, chili, and stews), great menu, great atmosphere ( cozy), very welcoming and just an overall good vibe. The owners made you feel welcome and you could sense they put a lot of love into their coffee shop. I would have thought the new owners would have at least tried to replicate that recipe for success even if they had a different aesthetic. Unfortunately that is not the case. Menu is sub par, food is below sub par, coffee average, and don’t get me started on the hours... open at 5 am until 2?I imagine a big portion of business will be tourists.... meaning foot traffic. How many stores around this place are open at 5 am? Probably none. I am not a local but have a cottage here and come up frequently. I went out of my way to go to Blend often because of what they offered. I would place a heavy bet that my sentiments are similar to other non locals which I’m sure will /or do make up a significant portion of business. Losing Blend was a great loss to downtown Eagle River. I hope the new owners reflect on this and at least make an effort to up their game or I don’t see how they will survive...especially when McDonalds is down the road and has flavored coffee and a better breakfast for half the price.

I love the atmosphere! It’s so bright and energetic. They also have a camera available for guests to use that prints their pictures right there. A very fun thing to do both as a tourist and a local. I also love how interactive they are on social media and how creative their drink menu is. They always have a lot to offer. Additionally, they have a secluded patio area for you to enjoy the weather in summertime, which I have found very helpful when kids are in tow. It’s also conveniently located in Downtown Eagle River so you can walk there while shopping the other businesses or while waiting for a table to open up at Friendship House across the street in the event that they have a wait.

They made an excellent flat white and the Turkey bacon wrap with cranberry was amazing!!! I regret only buying one sandwich to split with my husband. This is one of my new favorite Eagle River finds!!

Baristas were friendly, food was good, Chai latte had a large amount of foam but they fixed that for me. Unless you like foam it would be good for you. Nice place for a espresso drink also. Nice little place to meet friends or by yourself to get some computer work done

So greatful to have local access to Colectivo Coffee! I am very thankful for their early hours and the variety of great take-out sandwiches/wraps/salads. I LOVE that the two owners are visibly hustling to make their business successful and support our local community with fundraisers. I have experienced longish waits, but that is because everyone expects drinks their crazy customized....no worries-the coffee is worth it! LOVE the updated decor inside!

I have been to this shop for many years when it was The Blend (which was very good) but times have changed. I went to the Daily Grind several times (coffee is pretty good) recently and tried to eat, but they were never serving. The day I went there and they were serving food the person behind the counter was very rude (same experience the previous reviewer had) I would recommend Eagle River Roasters or The Red Canoe (St. Germain-excellent!).

I have enjoyed the daily grind since they took over the blend multiple times. I love that we hav a coffeeshop in Eagle River that is open early serving breakfast and homemade bakery goods. Their fall menu is awesome and I love that they brought in lotus energy drinks!

Nice little shop. The guy working was helpful and patient since I didn’t really know what I wanted. Ended up getting an iced coffee that tasted pretty good.

I had The Daily Grind make 30-ish To-Go meals for me for a family party in the business of summer, they were great! So easy to work with and pick up was a breeze! Lotus was great too! Excellent Vibe!
