About us

ON THE GRIND CAFE is run by two sisters, Wesleine and Dete, who grew up helping their mother run a restaurant in Brazil. They came to the USA 20 years ago and have worked in the coffee shop business since. Wesleine is well known in Nahant and Malden, where she helped run Dunkin' Donuts, and Dete is well known in Salem, working at Bagel World. It has been their dream to run their coffee shop one day, and ON THE GRIND CAFE is the result of that dream. The sisters' one goal is to have the freshest, best-tasting food and coffee served with a smile in a friendly atmosphere.

Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for a meal, we look forward to welcoming you into our family. At ON THE GRIND CAFE, you're more than a customer—you're part of our story.
