Our Story: Bringing Quality Coffee and Community to Weslaco

-Meet the Owner and Learn How a Passion for Coffee and Community Inspired a Business

 

Welcome to Weslaco's Daily Grind, a veteran-owned coffee shop located in the heart of historic downtown Weslaco, Texas. Founded in 2017 by owner Adam "Sarge" Shidler, a United States Air Force veteran, we specialize in serving high-quality coffee made from beans sourced from Alpha Coffee, a veteran-owned coffee roaster based in Utah.

At Weslaco's Daily Grind, we believe that coffee is not just a beverage, but an art form and a science that deserves to be respected and appreciated. Sarge's interest in coffee is focused on the science and art of coffee brewing. He experimented with various home brewing methods, beginning with traditional french press, moving into the "Aeropress" and Cold-Brewing, and finally the Pour-Over. Spending 4 years experimenting with different roast, different brewing methods, Sarge began to find that coffee is simple but complicated.

In addition to our focus on coffee, we are committed to serving as a community center and contributing to the revitalization of downtown Weslaco. We occasionally host events, markets, and local musicians and artists performing their own original works to support the growth and development of our community. We also offer free high-speed Wi-Fi internet access powered by a Gigabit fiber connection from VTX1, making our shop an ideal location for remote work or studying.

Our shop has a seating capacity of 82, which provides plenty of space for customers to gather, study, or simply enjoy some peace and quiet. We offer a variety of entertainment options, including board games, cards, puzzles, and books, and we play quiet background music featuring classic jazz, big band, blues, oldies, and swing to create a relaxing atmosphere. Additionally, we have covered outdoor seating, allowing you to enjoy your coffee in the fresh air.

Come on down to Weslaco's Daily Grind and experience our commitment to high-quality coffee, community, and relaxation.
