I would definitely put Legal Beans in the mix of good coffee shops, and Basic's coffee is decent too. As far as chains go, I actually like the coffee at the Van Houtte near the main post office. Go there whenever I have to pick up a package.

Since when has "downtown" been a neighborhood? Downtown is the WHOLE ward; Newport, PH, VVP, HP included.

As far as I've known in my 18 years here, Newport, Exchange Place/Paulus Hook, and Downtown are three different neighborhoods.

No -- I don't like Starbucks -- I was going to post this to the Newport Mall thread -- but thought better of it -- and decided to start this new one... however I have done a real bum job of it! Haha
Here is your list of "Coffee shops with great coffee:" 1. Dames (Counter Culture beans) 2. Warehouse (Intelligensia beans) 3. Word Bookstore's cafe coming soon (Stumptown beans) and someone added... "Don't forget Brewshot." I am sure legal Beans and others might also chime in...

So you consider a chain of coffee shops that supply less than mediocre beans and overpricing them "high end"? How much cream and sugar do you actually put in your Starbucks to make it palatable?

Wow -- so there are now five Starbucks Downtown...
1. Newark Ave at Grove Street 2. Waterfront Newport 3. Exchange Place 4. Target 5. Newport Mall ...and we now have at least 5 high end coffee shops and tons on just nice little coffee shops... though many of the latter consider themselves to be the former. The cheapest deal I know is Columbus Deli -- $1 large Hot & $1.50 Large Ice Coffee with coffee ice cubes!
