Coffee Shops near Spring Valley

“Don’t sleep on this coffee shop. ☕️ I stopped at The Daily Grind on Route 6 this morning, and I’m officially saying it: this place is a gem in a cornfield. Normally, I grab a quick coffee and breakfast sandwich from a national chain on the way to work. Same routine. Same “fine but forgettable” food. Today, I downloaded The Daily Grind app, shifted my route just a bit, and went for a pour-over of their Ethiopian beans (roasted in DePue) — and noticed they had a breakfast sandwich. Friends… I swear this sandwich is on homemade bread, with the meltiest cheese, a perfectly seasoned egg, and ham that actually tastes like ham. Not microwaved. Not “warmed from frozen.” Just done right. Here’s the kicker: coffee + sandwich + tip = about what I usually pay for a sub-par Americano and a chain breakfast sandwich. The Daily Grind is tucked into the strip mall off Route 6 and Dalzell Blacktop, almost directly across from St. Bede. Easy to miss if you’re not looking — but you should be looking. And let this sink in: Spring Valley now technically has FOUR coffee shops. Add this one to the DO NOT MISS list. Same owners as Spring Valley Bakery, and it shows. They do coffee and mornings right. Highly recommend. Go get yourself a cup.“

“Nice little mom n pop place to get quality coffee! They have the best chai lattes, I could drink them all day lol. Great service“

“Gross negligence by crew and management alike. Orders are almost always wrong or missing items. Today, I spent an HOUR in this location waiting for my order. Special instructions on the order, per dietary restrictions. My order was picked up by another customer, and the staff offered to remake mine for the mistake. Once remade, the special instructions were not followed, and they had IMMEDIATELY lost my receipt/could not recall it/print a new one to confirm my previously entered order. The manager then came to WRITE DOWN my order, in front of me and told me he would personally remake it again. And AGAIN, my order was incorrect, with the special instructions still not followed. During all of this, the staff was generally unhelpful. Rude, short and too busy talking amongst themselves to properly care about customers, orders, or how they present the McDonalds brand/experience. So I wasted an hour. Left with a poor attitude from the staff and management on duty, with only a refund in hand. I worked at McDonald's for an extended period in the past. I have certain expectations for how things should be handled, and absolutely none of them are ever met at this location.“

“Very pleasant owner, place is relaxing, drinks/ shakes are great!“

“I stopped in there for the first time yesterday. Starbucks has always been my go to for coffee. I ordered my normal, a mocha. It was made quickly, the staff was very nice and friendly, and the mocha one of the best I’ve ever had! This will be my new coffee place when I am in Peru!“

“Nice folks. Green tea soy latte with SF caramel ! Yummy. Great for the ride home!“

“I love this Starbucks. Lilly, Brad, Brenda and Isaiah are the best. This was Isaiah’s first day but he fit perfectly with these wonderful people who make me feel special everyday. Also my cold brew is on point each time. They go above and beyond!“

“I only turned around in their parking lot. But let me tell you, it was quite the parking lot. The drive thru was so packed as well as the parking lot I foolishly decided to turn around in, I nearly had no choice but to park and enjoy a triple shot espresso venti probably some vanilla and caramel and more espresso coffee drink. Alas, I played chicken with a rambunctious car full of younger ladies surely looking to get their mocha joka venti caffeine fix on.... Not to be deterred... I won the footloose challenge and continued on to the Mental health facility down the road...“

“Amazing service and amazing food!“

“Was my first time stopping in today for lunch, and the food and service was amazing! Even when they were very busy everybody was kind and quick. I had the BLT and pistachio muffin, and an iced coffee, it was super good!“

“My family and friends really enjoy the cafe for coffee and breakfast!“

“Best Prime Rib in the Illinois Valley! Dare I say the best prime rib I’ve ever had? Highly recommend, but definitely make a reservation.“
