Find the best coffee shops near you

As of 2024, the United States had approximately 83,153 coffee shop establishments.

Coffee shops source their beans from direct trade with farmers in countries like Brazil and Ethiopia, importers like Cafe Imports, local roasters for freshness, large suppliers like Lavazza, or farmer cooperatives for fair-trade options.

Coffee shops sell pastries and baked goods like muffins, croissants, scones, danishes, cookies, brownies & blondies, bagels (often with cream cheese, butter, or jam). Other coffee shops may only sell snacks and to-go items like granola bars, energy balls, fruit cups, and, nuts & trail mix.

Tipping at coffee shops is common but not mandatory. Many people tip $1 per drink or 10-20% for larger orders, especially for handcrafted beverages like lattes. If you're just grabbing a black coffee or pastry, rounding up or skipping the tip is generally fine. Baristas often rely on tips, so if you appreciate good service, a small tip is always a nice gesture!
