Find Us in NungambakkamWhy The Daily Grind
Coffee worth slowing down for.
We work with single-origin beans, so every cup tells you exactly where it came from — not just "a blend."
No loud playlists. No chaos. Just a calm, unhurried atmosphere that remote workers and readers actually love.
Our banana bread is baked in-house every morning. When it's gone, it's gone — so come early.
About Us
We're not a chain. Just a really good coffee shop.
The Daily Grind is a specialty coffee shop tucked into Nungambakkam, Chennai — built for people who actually care about what's in their cup. We're a small, independent spot obsessed with doing the simple things well: great beans, careful brewing, and food made by hand.
Whether you're dropping in for a quick espresso or settling in for the afternoon with your laptop, you're welcome here. We're open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm — no reservations needed, just show up.
What We Serve
Simple menu. Serious craft.
Brewed to order using beans sourced from a single farm or region. The slowest, most rewarding cup on our menu.
Flat whites, lattes, cortados, cappuccinos — made with precision and whole milk, the way they're meant to taste.
Slow-steeped cold brew and iced espresso drinks — especially welcome on a Chennai afternoon.
Baked fresh each morning in-house. Dense, moist, and gone by midday if you're not quick enough.
Reliable seating, a calm vibe, and no one rushing you out. A real workspace, not just a café that tolerates laptops.
Ask us about the current single-origin selection. We'll tell you what's in season and how best to brew it at home.
