As I'm sure you know, the Northwest has ample coffee culture, but some people don't realize just how many drive-throughs we have.

If you ever remember the names, let me know and I just may travel to some of them. My exploration will be as an observer at some places and a glad participant, when appropriate, at others. Putting any group of people into a box, or a category for analysis offers little excitement to me. As I travel across the US I seek those unique experiences. I believe that a common thread may exist, however, with the need they fulfill within their own communities; each one different than the other just as I have experienced here in Denver. We are surrounded by a plethora of coffeehouses that offer something special to their neighborhoods ... the passion of their role in that piece is so inspiring to me. Peace, Lisa Thanks for your thoughts … i love the diversity of your experiences and your insight as well. If you ever remember the names, let me know and I just may travel to some of them.

The cultural experience depends on the particular coffehouse. In Akron, the patrons and owners are more exclusive, you have to fit in with their culture or else you are not very welcome, in essence, you are a newbie. In Bedford, since it is a tourist town, there are limited regular customers, so everyone fits in and you immediately feel welcome. In Georgia, even though it was an established neighborhood house, we felt welcome even though we were obviously tourists. The tone is set by the owners and other patrons. I wish I could remember the names of the coffeehouses. Hope this helps somehow. I'd love to read about your findings, so please post and let us all know. Happy trails!

Please share an experience you have had with a local community's coffeehouse. I will be traveling across the US on an investigative exploration to seek out the love of local, passion-driven coffeehouse owners.

It includes the old men at McD's enjoying their paper cup of joe, the hip kids sitting on rumpled couches in the district, the readers at Borders, the man on his porch watching the sunrise, and the old friends sitting at the table with cakes at four in the afternoon. Wherever you drink your cup, that is where your coffee culture is. That warm cup provides the opportunity to stop, sit, sip, and share. There is no single coffee culture in our town.

We have a couple of really nice coffee houses, but there is simply no culture that goes along with it. Its sad really! We have a bustling downtown here, and no real coffee culture!
