Our Story

Enter as Strangers, Leave as Friends!

Since opening, Daily Harvest has lived by the motto: “Enter as strangers, leave as friends.” Owner Brittany Raesly has taken her passion for coffee and freshly baked, healthy food and created a warm, welcoming café where customers truly become like family. It’s not just the friendly morning or afternoon greetings that makes Daily Harvest so different, but the way the staff, and Brittany herself, gets to know each customer, what they often order, and even their children’s names and hobbies. It’s genuinely a home away from home for people who love their coffee, want made-to-order fresh meals, and crave a quiet place to visit with friends. 

Brittany has been around the coffee and restaurant industry quite literally  her entire life. From the time she could walk, she watched her hardworking parents who owned a successful donut and coffee shop for three decades. Some of her most cherished childhood moments include waking up early to accompany her dad and mum to the shop to prep for the day and make the donuts. It was in those early years with her parents that Brittany caught the restaurant bug and was destined to serve customers wonderful coffee and food as well as make people happy every day. 

After college and with years of experience working alongside her parents, Brittany opened up her first café location in Beverly called the Daily Bagel. While there, she built a loyal customer base within the Cummings Center, so much so that she expanded to two more locations within the complex. After ten years of growing her business, it was time to create her own coffee shop, fondly known as the Daily Harvest in Danvers, Massachusetts. 

Daily Harvest prides itself on continually researching new coffee blends by attending industry events including the Coffee Fest annually. The team also works hard to incorporate organic and all-natural ingredients whenever possible. The steadfast desire to bring patrons deliciously fresh meals has earned the Daily Harvest awards given by Northshore Magazine and Reader’s Choice Awards such: recognition for the Best Burger, #1 Coffee Shop,  # 1 Lunch Spot, and Best Breakfast. 

The Daily Harvest Cafe team welcomes you to come in and check us out, eat in our farmhouse chic cafe, enjoy our patio in the warmer weather, or take your food to go with a smile.
