If you have ever walked into such a place consider yourself lucky, because these special little, hole-in-the-walls seem to be vanishing faster than we could say, goodbye." This certain place I am talking about though is the charming coffee shop on West High Street in the heart of New Philadelphia, Ohio.
The Daily Grind.
I get a little chuckle from people when I tell them this place is practically my second home, but it's true. I can remember for as far back as I can remember going to The Daily Grind. I come here all the time whether it be for meeting up with someone, reading a book, going for some alone time (Ironic, right? In a coffee shop?), for breakfast or lunch, to stop in quickly just to get my drink and leave, and to go in get my drink and sit for hours.
The Daily Grind may be a coffee shop that sells baked goods, plays fun old music, and has cute decor, but it is far more than that.
It's a staple.
A staple that ties the past with the present, and the elderly with the young.
This darling coffee shop used to house itself originally in a former shoe store on 2nd street when they first opened in 1995.
More than twenty years ago!

You see, The Daily Grind holds a beauty that so many places don't. It unites so many different kinds of people in one place, and yet it doesn't phase anyone that walks in. It is one of few places in the community that brings us all together.
