<div dir="ltr">I second the Caribou and find that Dunkin Dounuts, QT, Racetrack and McDonalds all have MUCH better coffee than Starbucks. From a historical perspective, I think "Dancing Goat" has to be the best name for a coffee shoppe, but I have never actually tried their brew so I can't vouch for the taste. <div><br></div><div>For anyone interested in the subject, <i>Uncommon Grounds</i>, The Story of Coffee is an interesting read. Who knew that Mocha was actually the (Somali?) port from which coffee beans were originally shipped? The book also goes into some detail about the geopolitical influences excerted as a result of the demand for coffee over the centuries.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 9:26 AM, Paul Cartwright <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pbcartwright@gmail.com" target="_blank">pbcartwright@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>
