America's Best Coffee Shops
The Daily Meal listed "America's Best Coffee Shops" a few days ago. Seattle didn't get No.1... but we had a few ranked in! Is your favorite coffee shop in your city in the list?
This is how they made the list. "We scoured for the best independent coffee shops and chains that have changed the way we drink coffee. Our criteria? The best quality in coffee and food, atmosphere, customer service, and the "unique" factor."
Here is the list. (Click here for slide show)1. Ultimo Coffee, Philadelphia
