A notable exception in this round-up is Starbuck's. No matter what this coffeehouse does - give away free songs, help the third world, improve their coffee - it will always be a franchise and never home-grown. I won't refuse a starbuck's gift card, but if it's my money, I'll put it on one of the local coffee shops.
As an aside, the picture to the right drew my attention to the avenue in Elliewood Avenue. It's hardly a main street or thoroughfare.
My order of preference
1. Shenandoah Joe's
2. Mudhouse
3. Para Coffee
Honorable Mention: Higher Grounds. Although I've consumed probably more of this coffee over the last 8 years than any other, it's hospital only location excludes it from a list of top coffee shops. It does win points for its punning name.
Others: C-ville Coffee, Fox Park
I haven't been to Java Java under the new management so I can't comment on that one.
R.I.P. Espresso Royale Caffe

Cafe Cubano belongs somewhere on the list! I like it the best early in the morning though...before Marco N Luca open and start to mix with the yummy Cubano smells.
Greenberry's??
