Ah, the coffee shop. That jittery breeding ground of ideas and discourse, free Internet access and sweet time wasted. Whether you fancy yourself part of the java-inhaling literati or just enjoy a mid-day cup o' joe, you know how to pick a coffee shop that stands out amid the over-roasted sea of Dunkin's and Starbucks.

Now is the time to put that knowledge to work and reward your favorite local coffee joint. Will it be Davis Square's own scrappy Diesel Cafe or Cambridge's favorite 1369 Coffee House? Ula Cafe or Pavement Coffeehouse? The luxurious Boston Common's Coffee Co. or the Financial District's Flat Black?
