Where is Philly on the Coffee Map?
We have the best of all worlds in Philly- better weather than NYC or DC, a vibrant and booming counter culture, and the beginnings to an awesome coffee vibe... or am I wrong?
Is Philadelphia going to supplant cities like Baltimore and DC for Mid-Atlantic bean bragging, or will the combined forces of Dunkin', *$, and Saxby's (Let's talk about this one) drag higher coffee culture into the Delaware?
We'll tell you where to stick that cheesesteak joke... Don't even start.

Yeah, I've got what I call a "three year plan" for my little corner of brotherly love.
Things are definitely looking up in Philly coffee. -

On the Main line:
The Gryphon- GB5, French press if you ask for it, Torreo coffee
MilkBoy Bryn Mawr- GB5, French press only, Counter Culture coffee
MilkBoy Ardmore- Linea, CCC, (Both MilkBoys just put tripple ristretto on the menu)
Chestnut Hill- Linea, French press if you ask, Ambex roaster upstairs
In Center City:
Last I heard Chestnut Hill was selling coffee to The Beauty Shop (2001 Fitzwater St)
And the Grand Opening for Spruce St Espresso, at 11th and Spruce, is March 1, 2008
GB5- Formerly owned by Ninth St in NYC, French press only, CCC
In Scranton-
Norther Lights Espresso, Gimme! coffee
I know there are plenty of others, this is just a thin slice of the pie. -

Hey Phil-
Also in Scranton, Check out Electric City Roasters, run by the amazing Mary Tellie. Her "Zummo's Cafe" is great, and her own Autobahn Espresso Blend is STELLAR.
Yeah, STELLAR!
I love that she runs her own beans through a Clover. I had the opportunity to taste a couple COEs, as well as a non-auction lot Esmerelda.
Best kept secret in Scranton, I'd say. -

I have heard of Zummo's and the rumored Clover, but no direct experience. I did not know about them roasting COE's. I guess I will have to stop in.
I also forgot to mention, in Northern Liberties, One Shot, with a Linea and Intelligentsia, where the coolness level is off the chart.
(When in Northern Liberties, one simply must stop by Delicious Corsets. www.deliciouscorsets.com , you can pick up what Daryn Berlin calls "the best jeans I've ever owned".) -

I'm listening to Warren Zevon's 1980 concert from the Tower Theater here in Philly.
Warren Zevon is one of my all-time favorite writer-performers, and a man that called Philadelphia home.
You can find his show along with a treasure trove of live historic performances at www.wolfgangsvault.com. -
