Best of Davis, coffee edition

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

I just got an LJ message from jspazzer, wishing to do a "Best of Davis Square: Coffee" poll.

Instead of creating a poll and deleting it because I'm going to leave one two places out, I thought I would ask first (and then maybe delete this post). I can only think of 4 "true" coffee shops: Diesel, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, and Au Bon Pain. Am I leaving something out?

If not, I'll create the poll.

Mr. Crepe. Lots of people go there just for coffee. They even have a loyalty card (10 punches gets you one free coffee).

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

Will do.

I'll wait another 10 or 15 minutes to see if there is anything else.

Is Mr. Crepe still in business? I thought I heard they closed.

[ron_newman]

What? Unless they went out of business some time this morning, they're most definitely open.

[icecreamempress.livejournal.com]

I just called them (11:24 a.m.) and they're open.

Also, Blue Shirt sells coffee.

Selling coffee is probably different than being a coffee shop. Mike's sells coffee too. I'd vote no, but you are the King here.

There's an Au Bon Pain in Davis Square?

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

Yep.

[dawneliz.livejournal.com]

OK, technically it's in Ball Square, but True Grounds is fantabulous.

You know what else is great? Cafe Flor in San Francisco. Also not in Davis Square.

and now that it's too late, What's the name of the place in Teele? They are always closed, so it doesn't matter. but yeah.

[ron_newman]

Cafe Soleil?

Also - Grand Prix Cafe, on Mass. Ave. at Day St.

You know, I wonder about that. Either that place makes a LOT of money off of catering or it's a drug front.

I'm loving the degree of pilpul we're going to in deciding what qualifies as a "coffee shop" and what qualifies as "Davis Square."

[hammercock.livejournal.com]

I love that you used the word pilpul to describe this. :)

Davis Square, where we have 5 opinions for every 3 residents. What's the Jewish quotient of D^2, anyway?

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

We are at 9 right now. Tell me when to create and I will. One deletion is enough.

[icecreamempress.livejournal.com]

Run the list by us in here first.

[lbmango.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure that the is an RE process... It's like packing. You're GOING to forget something, so you might as well call it at 9.

Or you can wait until 10, and then do that.

Calling Ron Newman???

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

Create????

Re: Calling Ron Newman???

[ron_newman]

Yeah, may as well.

What's LJ's limit on the number of poll choices, anyway? If there's room for one more, make it "Other" and ask people to explain in comments.

[ron_newman]

Way too late now, but I just realized that McDonald's could have been put in the list as well.

[icecreamempress.livejournal.com]

Worse, we forgot Verna's. VERNA'S!

I hang my head in shame.
