    You're desperate for coffee. You just didn't get to make your home roasted, gourmet, AeroPress cup of Joe that you so love. Now, you're stuck hunting for coffee at the local coffee chain or restaurant. Places like:

    Starbucks (Charbucks)
    It's a Grind
    Peet's Coffee
    Denny's
    Dunkin' Donuts
    McDonald's
    etc.

    What's your cup of choice when you can't do it yourself and you can't get to a good coffee roasting house?

    If I'm on the east coast - Dunkin Donuts. I hate to say it but McDonalds' new coffee is not horrible.

    Krispy Kreme has good coffee. Too bad they closed the one down near me.

    I do Charbucks just because it's conveniently located in my office building.

    In the far North:

    Tim Horton's
    Second Cup (franchise like Starbucks, but they don't overroast their beans like Starbucks does)
    McDonalds

    Tim Horton's is the one I go to for the generic cheap coffee if I have a choice. Second Cup if I'm in a gourmet mood. McDonalds if I'm going to one place I go weekly where it is the only decent coffee place for two blocks.

    I do Dunkin Donuts. My wife does Starbucks. Luckily there's a spot near our house that has one right next door to the other.
