How We Determined the Best Coffee Shop in Each State
To identify the top coffee shops, we relied on two key sources:
- Google Place Reviews
- Yelp Reviews
We focused exclusively on coffee shops with a minimum of 50 reviews on both platforms, deliberately excluding large coffee chains to highlight independent establishments. Each location was strictly a coffee shop, not a donut shop or restaurant.
We calculated the “Best Coffee Shop Score” by averaging the ratings from Google and Yelp. For instance, if Belladonnas Coffee in Alaska scored 4.6 on Google and 4.8 on Yelp, its final score would be 4.7.
