This extended winter weather of ours may delay the annual hot-to-iced changeover that all true java lovers look forward to each spring, but coffee is one thing that never goes out of style, no matter the season or time of day. In fact, as the years go on, and the artisanal/craft/locavore/whatever-you-call-it movement continues to spread, coffee only gets more fashionable —more flavorful, creative, specialized, and sought after. We all have our favorite local places to get our caffeine fix. But, when it comes to serious brew, a few cities stand head and shoulders above the rest. We based our list of the best U.S. cities for coffee lovers on two criteria: 1) How many coffee shops each city has (data courtesy of Mint.com, unless otherwise noted) and 2) the creativity of each city’s coffee offerings (what types of newfangled roasting/brewing processes do they use? what kind of MoMa-worthy foam art do they create? how much non-literal sweat goes into their product?)/Daniel Lefferts, Bustle. Top 10 cities in the USA for coffee (AP file photo: Signs for the original Starbucks coffeehouse store hang with the original logo in the Pike Place Market in Seattle)
