Gray's Daily Grind — Restaurant in Westport

I want to love this place, I really do. It has so much potential.

Pros: 1.) Location. You are out in the middle of nowhere and there is GOOD coffee around. Some seating outside and across the street by the pond is perfect for a nice day. 2.) Product. They use Coastal Roaster coffee which is roasted right in Tiverton, RI and it is great quality. Also love that their drinks use local Tiverton, RI milk from Arruda's Dairy Farm (coffee milk, chocolate milk, vanilla milk, yum!) 3.) Ambiance. This place is refreshingly cute inside. It's welcoming.4.) Gear. They sell pretty awesome travel mugs and other souvenirs with the Rhode Island Red. Cool gifts!

So what's the problem?

Cons: It is much more expensive than other nearby places. The Mind Grind is their famous espresso drink. Ordered a medium iced mocha mind grind (24oz. Espresso, coffee milk and chocolate sauce and it was $6.50!!!!). It is delicious, but not that delicious. Also regular and iced coffee plain isn't too much more than standard pricing but flavor syrups are extra.

So moral of the review. Delicious local products and...

After a great hike through Allens Pond Wildlife Sanctuary, we were in the mood for a good cup of coffee and landed on checking out Gray's Daily Grind. A really impressive menu complete with Knead's Donuts (can't wait to visit again to take advantage of that!) but for us it was just a couple of iced coffee beverages.

Located within an old, historic grist mill, there is a walk-up window where you can place your order and then move to another window for pickup.

I opted for the honey maple iced coffee which was flavorful and nuanced and certainly hit the spot post-hike. The Mrs. opted for the iced caramel pumpkin latte with skim milk which tasted like a dessert and was the quintessential fall drink. Both were very well done!

Definitely will be checking out Gray's Daily Grind again when back in Westport....

If you’re in the Tiverton or Westport area and craving a great cup of coffee, look no further than Gray’s Daily Grind. This cozy little coffee shop sits right across from Gray’s Mill Pond, offering a peaceful, scenic spot to relax.

In the summer, you can sit outside and take in the wildlife and serene views. In the winter, it’s just as charming, with local kids ice skating on the frozen pond. Inside, the shop is clean and welcoming, with a variety of items available for purchase.

The staff is always friendly and smiling, adding to the warm, inviting atmosphere. One of my favorite things is the community jigsaw puzzle — it's a fun way to unwind and engage your mind while enjoying a cup of gourmet coffee.
