We visited the wine region but still reeling from khachapuri, we couldn’t stomach a drop, so we walked around some gardens and had coffee and cake.

Chicory coffee, beignets covered in so much powdered sugar I nearly choked. Better than your average fried dough.

I’ve seen how seriously Portlanders take their coffee. Making coffee is not making coffee, it’s “pulling shots”. It’s a prestigious gig in the Northwest that requires training, winning competitions, and continued study. Apparently, the NYTimes deems that NY now takes its coffee seriously.
I think this map of good coffee is awesome, but it stresses me out a little bit. I’ve been away for nearly two years, and I haven’t tried half of these new places.
I enjoy Cafe Pedlar (from Stumptown dude who was kind of rude when I ordered), Gimmee! and Cafe Grumpy. Also, I often like plain old drip coffee. with pie.

I searched Miami high and low for a coffeeshop that had decent and affordable coffee, reliable wifi, comfortable seating, and maybe a friendly barista or two. I was surprised to find nothing even close (although there was great cuban coffee all over the city). Pensacola, on the other hand, surprised me with End of the Line Cafe, a bohemian vegan cafe. While I prefer dairy milk in my coffee over soy or almond milk, I’ll take it for the atmosphere at End of the Line. The folks are nice, the music is great, and the vegan sandwiches (blt and tempeh reuben) are excellent. They have a fixed dinner on Thursdays and brunch on Sundays. I’ll let you know.

Generally, I am not so sure about the current cupcake obsession thing, but some days I get it. When I walked to Baked and Wired in Georgetown for some coffee. Simple curiosity led me to carelessly peruse the cupcake options until my eyes landed on the pistachio cardamom cupcake. SOLD. And when I looked up while adding cream to my coffee, I saw the above photo. Cardamom is my all time favorite spice, and in coffee it is divine (Hampton Chutney Co in NYC combines these deliciously). This small jar alone made Baked and Wired a shoe in for my coffee road map.
If you look to the left, you will see I’ve added a Coffeeshop map by my Food Road Map. This is where I collect some of the best caffeine houses I’ve spent way too many hours in.
