Starbucks “retools” amidst a slowing economy.

The L.A. Times devotes its food section to worshiping the coffee bean. Jitters ensue.

A study finds that women wait longer than men for their coffee—especially when it’s being made by men.

The chains compete for your breakfast dollar with new offerings both vile and delish.

Glorious croissant energy.

this fairly new coffeeshop serves superb Toscano Espresso from Counter Culture Coffee all coffees are french pressed (tried their brew bar equally great) small place but very clean and the girls (baristas) are cool – the guy...

Today Stumptown opened its first store in NYC, on Clinton St. just south of Houston. I stumbled upon it after having an excellent piadina at the vastly underrated Piada. The barista said they’re having a soft opening....
