Seattle: The Number One City for Coffee Snobs

iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — If you had to select any city in the U.S. with the most discerning coffee addicts, chances are Seattle would be at the top of most people’s lists.

That’s the case of a combined Redfin and Foursquare survey, which picked Seattle as number one in the ten best cities for so-called “coffee snobs.”

Just to clarify, Redfin and Foursquare based their findings on indie coffee shops, that is, those with under ten locations in a given city.

So although Starbucks is excluded, Seattle still winds up as the ultimate U.S. mecca for picky coffee drinkers.

Here’s the rest of the top 10:

1. Seattle, WA
2. Portland, OR
3. Boulder, CO
4. San Francisco, CA
5. Denver, CO
6. San Diego, CA
7. Madison, WI
8. Austin, TX
9. Minneapolis-ST. Paul, MN
10. Sacramento, CA
