Remember when those beardy West Coasters had to come to town to teach us how coffee was done, just a few short years ago? We sure do. Not the newest game in town, and slightly off the beaten path, over near Brooklyn's Navy Yard, Parlor, which began life as a pop-up bar in the back of a Williamsburg barber shop, is in every way a gem, and it knows it—their tasting room keeps catch-them-if-you-can, Sunday-only opening hours. Also try One of New York's we're talking about the state now closely guarded secrets: its less sought-after cities can be pretty great, and certainly for coffee.
The gorgeous Tipico would be the envy of any town, but it belongs to an up-and-coming Buffalo neighborhood; in Rochester , the pop-up gone brick and mortar Ugly Duck is just one bright star on that city's long-running scene.

Having one of the East Coast's best roasters representing your state is very nice, and we're super happy for North Carolina and everything, but it's fascinating to see that decades on, Counter Culture, now every bit a national brand, still pretty much dominates the regional scene.
Apart from Friday cuppings—always open to the public—at training centers in Durham and Asheville, you won't find Counter Culture coffee bars, which is okay, because it turns out that some of the state's top shops—for instance, the twin locations of Jubala Coffee , next door in Raleigh —act as terrific brand ambassadors. Right now, they're working with Heart, out of Portland, but rumor has it they'll be roasting their own soon, not to mention moving to a larger location in Fargo's happening downtown.
Industry vet Brett Barker launched this near-perfect spot in Dayton's historic Oregon neighborhood as a showcase for his favorite roasters, eventually bringing things in-house, with the founding of Wood Burl Coffee.

Also try Topeca Coffee is a Tulsa -based roaster with a great reputation in the industry, and a handful of local retail outlets. Exploring vastly underrated Oklahoma City? Elemental is an essential stop. A relatively sunny town standing sentry on the divide between California and the Pacific Northwest, artistically-inclined Ashland isn't quite so well-known as certain other cities in Oregon, but when it comes to coffee, Ashland has become something of a giant, thanks in part to this oft-awarded roasting operation, the first notable to crop up here, about a decade ago. Also try The Portland hype may be leveling off now it's just expensive, like everywhere else , but the coffee remains some of the best on the continent—if you haven't yet, make tracks for Coava , which managed to impress noted stickler Jerry Seinfeld, who filmed an episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee here.
Over in Old Town, meanwhile, there's something utterly appealing about the self-described "snob free" ethic behind the very good Deadstock , opened by a former designer at Nike. The not-so-big city at the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country , Lancaster already had Square One Roasters—apparently, there's room for yet another great. Carefully sourced coffees are fascinating, sometimes quite unusual, service can be downright gracious—this is one of those places everyone ought to come to take notes, to see how it's done.
A weekend morning, or at least part of one, spent in the lobby of the Dean Hotel, which is where you will find the very best coffee shop in the coolest big city in New England right now, is always time well spent.

Stuck between limelight-stealing Charleston and now-fashionable Greenville, it appears there's little love left to lavish on South Carolina's relatively staid state capital. This accomplished roaster, however, which not too long ago opened a handsome shop in the city's historic Cottontown section, is doing great work for the local coffee cred.
Also try Speaking of Greenville, if you're here, you must look up the meticulous and super on-trend Methodical Coffee , while way down in Charleston, much of the buzz currently lands on the very good Black Tap Coffee , just a short stroll away from the old City Market.

The successful, too-elusive combining of expertise and service is what sets this roaster apart from Nashville's impressive pack. A knack for experimentation doesn't hurt, either; these fellows were early adopters, for example, of the flash-chilling method for cold brew. It's a good one, though, functioning almost as an all-day hang, with proper food and an evening happy hour. Often, this sort of thing doesn't work.
Here, it does. Also try The world travelers—and experienced industry hands—behind Mad Priest Coffee Roasters aren't just doing great limited releases, they're also partnering with a local non-profit to train and hire displaced persons resettled to the Chattanooga area.
The Big D is just full of surprises, lately, one of them being a preponderance of local roasters gaining considerable national attention for their efforts.

Road trip, anyone? Who would have guessed that one of the most impressive coffee roasters in the West would have come up in the land of hot drinks abstainers? No doubt the pioneering team behind this single estate-only operation were slightly surprised, too—at a time when Salt Lake had very little good coffee to speak of, they took the plunge; now it's hard to imagine Utah's impressive artisan scene without them.
Also try Not far from the slopes at Stratton, look for some of the best beans being roasted in the state at Ungrounded Coffee —you'll find them at the simply-named Coffee Bar, located in the village of Rawsonville.

Another early top player in the coffee game—think Alterra, Ancora, others—Wisconsin had one hell of a head start, so it shouldn't be any surprise that one of the country's top roasters Intelligentsia-trained can be found in a village of people way up in the mostly rural center of the state.
