Finding a Really Good Cup of Coffee

How Do You Find the Best Cup of Joe in your area?

You may have noticed that I write a series of ActiveRain Posts called "Cup of Joe Reports" where I discuss my experiences in coffee shops around the DC Metropolitan Area. One of the reasons I write these reviews is because many of these small coffee shops are hard to find. 

Now, I don't mean that they are hidden from view or within a crowded shopping center. I mean that many of them do not come up on my GPS when I am driving around and seeking a cup of joe. I recently had a situation where a client looked up coffee shops on her Tom Tom and I looked up coffee shops on my Garmin and the only options were Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. This actually happens all the time.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with either of these two places. They are consistent. If you like Starbucks coffee in one place, you will like it everywhere. Same goes for Dunkin Donuts. But I suspect you will not be wowed by your coffee, service, experience or atmosphere at either of these chains. 

So how do you find a really good cup of coffee?

That is my quest - to be your local source of the best coffee shops in the DC Metropolitan area.

 

Where is the best cup of Joe in the DC Area?

Good question.  If there's a place you'd like me to review, let me know. I'll go and check it out and report back as a Cup of Joe Report.

Good morning Dana.  I'm reading your post as I have my first hot cup of Joe.  Pinon beans are my personal favorite.  Pinon is grown right here in Albuquerque and I grind my own coffee beans. Talk about a great cup of Joe!

Now this is definitely a blog I can get behind! Even though I'm all the way over here in Arizona I'm a big coffee drinker and supporter of local business and you're combining both!

 John - Mmmmm. Sounds like I'll have to give Pinon beans a try. I haven't seen them here, but I'll keep an eye out for them. 

Nicole - The small local businesses are really what make a community strong. There is nothig like being a regular at your local coffee shop. 

Sybil - You said it. Unfortunately, one of my local favorites is closed on Mondays when I really need it.
