Sure thing! Let's dive in! For starters, Portland, Oregon, housing schools like Portland State University and Reed College, is known to have an impressive array of unique coffee shops. The city is recognized as a "coffee town" with an ingrained coffee culture, so there is no shortage of places to fuel your caffeine needs!

Boulder, Colorado, home of the University of Colorado Boulder, is another city that delivers when it comes to great coffee scene. Aside from having national chains, Boulder boasts local favorites like Boxcar Coffee Roasters and Ozo Coffee Company.

Ann Arbor, Michigan, which hosts the University of Michigan, has a coffee scene that's a blend of hipster, traditional, and experimental. The well-known Zingerman's has a coffee company Zingerman's Coffee Co., and Literati Coffee, in the same building as Literati Bookstore, has high quality brews and a literary vibe.

The city of San Francisco, where schools such as University of San Francisco and San Francisco State University are found, is also renowned for exceptional coffee shops like Ritual Coffee Roasters and Sightglass Coffee.

Lastly, but certainly not the least, Seattle, Washington, known as the home of Starbucks, and also housing the University of Washington, is a city with a rich coffee culture and a great number of coffee shops.

These are just some examples and the choices are truly broad. When choosing a school, you'll also want to visit the areas around campus to get a sense of the local cafe culture. You might just discover your new favorite coffee shop during a college tour! Happy exploring!
