Here they call them 'diners'  -- there were a few Starbucks around but they've mostly gone under, at least in my area.  WTH would you pay $5-6 for a cup of coffee when there are diners, where the refills are endless and free, and Wawas a-plenty where you can get any type of coffee or coffee drink for $1.50 or less, depending on the size of the cup?

AND . . . who bursts into tears watching a presser? Puh-leeze  :bouncy:

LOL, our State is the Diner capital, and also you'll be shocked but we have no Wawa's in the Northern part of the State.

I've never heard of Wawa's but since I'm in Illinois, I guess that's no surprise.

Oh, I'm a complete coffee snob, but Starbucks over roasts their beans. That said, no restaurant (even those that have gourmet coffee) compares to the local baristas. Mostly I buy my own beans but frequenting the little "mom and pop" type coffee shops and drive thrus I figure can be justified as helping a local small business. It doesn't get much smaller than a mini shack with a coffee maker and a refrigerator.

Good coffee, great food, good selection of various convenient store items, gas, and cleaner than most 7-11's you walk into.

I loves me some Wawa, but I really wish they would start selling diesel fuel.

It's a Leni Lenape word for goose/geese.  We are inundated with frigging Canadian geese that have renounced their previous citizenry and have taken up permanent residence in the mid-Atlantic states.  And since the Indians have a word for them, it's been going on for centuries!

They're convenience stores, the 'super' Wawas have gas as well, but they're really more like a neighborhood hang-out.  People usually have their favorite ones so you see the same people every morning getting coffee, etc, and bitching about an Eagles/Phillies/Flyers/Sixers game the night before.  Usually the employees have been there a good while so they know the regulars and remember what type of breakfast sandwich or lunch hoagie you want made (they'll make them for you or there's pre-made if you're in a hurry).  And, depending on the size of the store, 20-30 pots of coffee going at all times with the oldest being replaced with a new pot every 20 minutes -- not to mention all the different machines where you can get 'cinos, lattes, steamers, hot chocolate, etc. in any way/shape/combination you want.  Lots more but I'm starting to feel like a commercial!  :-)

LOL, no Wawa.

We're tempted sometimes to be close to the Ocean, no way could we root for Philly teams though LOL.

Every once in awhile we pop on the internet to look at houses down there, but it would be so tempting being that close to AC.

They don't call it CharBucks for nothing.  :-) However, they do this for a reason. Cheaper, lower quality beans can be easily disguised by roasting dark. Charbucks started out offering quality but discovered the way to significantly trim costs and still charge a premium. The coffee there is lower quality than what can be had at the grocery store and the libs buy it up!

Speaking of being a coffee snob. Started roasting my own at home 2 years ago and I am ruined for life. Started with a popcorn popper and now use a Behmor roaster and I will say that nothing compares to properly roasted, super fresh, single origin coffee!
