Virginia is for lovers, but apparently, grabbing coffee at a corner shop isn’t a top priority for most Virginians. I write this as I’m drinking a pumpkin-flavored cup of coffee with a touch of non-dairy creamer and thinking about brewing a second cup in my home office.
Apartmentguide.com looked at every city in the United States with at least one coffee shop to find the top 100 cities for coffee lovers in the nation.
Only one city in Virginia made the list – Richmond. Richmond ranked #56 in the nation. Neighboring Washington, D.C. was #13 on the list.
So maybe Virginians love their morning cup of latte or mocha – but prefer it in the comfort of their own home.
In America, there are scores of coffee shops, from Starbucks and Dunkin’ to corner carts and cafecita cafés.
