Coffee Shop Guide

a local guide to coffee shops serving the best coffee fundamentals

only coffee shops that show a dedication to sourcing, preparing, and serving quality coffee are considered

espresso | the foundation

-

milk-based drink | to compliment the espresso

-

pour over | a coffee to savor

-

whole beans | to have fun and experiment with at home

When I travel and try to look up where to get the best coffee (even where I live), I’m always disappointed by food guides and reviewers that give a coffee shop a single overall rating (lumping together the drinks, food, customer service, and ambiance) - I’ve almost never learned the details of whether the different coffee drinks are any good (or why), which is really what I’m looking for

I decided to fill the void myself and make this guide for others like me as I explore the cities I live and travel in
