Cozy up with a hot cup of joe (or tea, if you prefer) and listen up as we chat about coffee-shop culture. Why do people go where they go when they get a jones for java?
Regulars at independent coffeehouses like Lazy Daze in Indianapolis and Belvi Coffee & Tea Exchange in Bellevue, Washington talk about their love of the locals, and the coffee-shop owners tell us how their coffeehouses compete with java giants Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts.

Love this podcast!
In Cambridge, MA Simon’s (1736 Mass Ave) has terrific espresso, and the nicest
baristas.
In Lenox, the Lenox Coffee House (52 Main St) has even better espresso.
In Princeton NJ, Small World Coffee (14 Witherspoon St) is exceptional, and a
very nice, big venue.
In Provincetown Mass., Wired Puppy is a bit variable, but when the espresso is good,
it’s VERY good.
In NYC, Joe’s the art of Coffee, and Cafe Grumpy have excellent espresso.
In DC, and Arlington VA, Cafe Murky does a great job, although Nick Cho, the
owner, has an odd aversion to letting the customer put the milk in the latte
himself (to measure just the right amount).
Nice, informative podcast! –Rita
I don’t know…I love Penny Lane but I also love Starbucks. I’m torn!
I love the podcast though!
