Seattle, the birthplace of Starbucks – which is celebrating its 50th birthday this year – seems like the best place in the country for a cup of joe. And so it was last year. However, in a recent study of the best cities for coffee lovers, the Emerald City has dropped to third place.
The study, conducted by personal finance site WalletHub, looked at the 100 largest cities in the US using 12 key metrics to determine which cities are best for coffee lovers. Average coffee expenditure per household; Coffee shops, homes and cafes per capita; and coffee and tea makers per capita were all factors used in the ranking. Each factor was weighted differently, with a perfect score being a cumulative 100.
Last year, Seattle ranked first in the study and was ranked the city with the cheapest coffee shops. It is also the same per capita for most manufacturers. However, in 2021, Seattle ranked fifth among manufacturers per capita and is in the chain of three for cheapest coffee shops.
Which coffee-loving subways beat the Emerald City this year and which was one of Seattle’s best coffee cities? Keep scrolling to see the top 10.
