Daily Grind, Pullman WA

I posted about Lick's on Monday so it seemed only right to talk about the Daily Grind.

The Daily Grind has been a fixture in Pullman for some years. It started as a kiosk (on Davis Way if I remember that correctly). There are still kiosks in Pullman (and one in Colfax) but when people talk about the coffeeshop - more often they are talking about the Coffeehouse on Main St.
Housed in an older building that has preserved much of it's history, the Daily Grind is a great place to relax, study or meet up with friends. In the warm months, you can sit out on the enclosed patio. In the cold months, curl up in front of the fireplace.


Occasionally, you'll find music performances but you will always find good coffee. Got a sweet tooth that doesn't mind the cold - try a Peanut Butter Frost which tastes just like frozen peanut butter frosting (very sweet). Me, I prefer their mochas and hot chocolate but especially their teas - chocolate mint tea is awesome. Their prices are decent and the service is always friendly. They also have sandwiches and some foods that rotate on the menu. Check them out on facebook for more information. Daily Grind is open daily from 6:30 am to 11:30 pm.

Cafe Moro, Pullman Washington

It comes to no surprise that Pullman is the home of many coffee shops. Seems to me that coffee is synonimous with Washington. We take our coffee drinks very seriously. We have those who prefer it just black and others who want it with milk, flavor, and so much other stuff that the coffee is barely detected. You, almost, can't spit without hitting a coffee shop. The shops are always in use and some days so full that you have no choice but to take your coffee to go.
I'll share more coffee shops with you over the next month but Cafe Moro holds a special place in my heart. It's a small independently owned cafe that has the most friendly staff (to be honest I don't think I've found a place with unfriendly staff but that's not the point).
What attracted me to Cafe Moro is the creativity in which they have created their signature drinks. The flavor combinations are fantastic. Our summer favorite has been the limeade with matcha (green tea). It's a funky smoothie type drink but it's got amazing flavor.
I will admit that Cafe Moro is a little pricey but not overly so. I usually spend $4 when I get a drink there (probably less than Starbucks now that I think about it.)
What I love best is it's artsy feel and cozy spaces. I hear they have concerts so I guess I may share this place once more when I finally attend one.
