Saturday is National Coffee Day (International Coffee Day is Monday), and in honor of the occasion, WalletHub set out to determine which are the best cities for all those coffee lovers. They looked at 100 of the biggest cities in the U.S. and judged them on 14 different factors including coffee prices, the number of highly rated affordable coffee shops, the number of “coffee lovers” meetups, coffee-centric events and more.
And after all of that, which city topped the list? While you’d think it would be Seattle, home of Starbucks, you’d be wrong. While Seattle topped last year's list, this year the site picked New York City as the best city for coffee lovers. The Big Apple scored a 66.92 out of 100, and earned high marks for having the most coffee shops, coffee houses and cafes per capita, and the most that earn a 4.5+ rating.
