For a happier change of pace, I'd pulled this piece from USA Today about great places for coffee around the USA.

I've only been to the ones in New York -- Caffe Dante and Caffe Reggio -- but they were near our old apartment and I liked both. Caffe Dante was a particular favorite. Aside from good coffee, it is also one of the few places I've found outside of Italy to have really authentic (and good) gelato.
And if I'd known how good the coffee was at News Cafe, I would have gone there when I was in Miami -- it was very near our hotel. Bummer.

A fun post. Personally I'd skip Peet's and hit Cafe Strada in Berkeley (just across from campus). But that's just me.
