Coffee culture is big in the USA. Gone are the days when people were happy to visit the same chain of coffee houses day in and day out. Today’s coffee connoisseurs are looking for something more exotic from their favorite beverage and a rash of independent coffee houses and roastery plants have popped up across the length and breadth of the United States. Many of these go the extra mile to personally source their coffee beans from small-volume farmers who produce an excellent fair-trade product. Beans are generally roasted on site to order, to ensure the finest end product. Several of the best coffee shops also serve meals or pastries, but for some it is purely about the coffee.
