Is New Jersey The Most Coffee Obsessed State?
We drink a lot of coffee here in New Jersey, but apparently, we're not the most coffee-obsessed state, which is a little surprising.
Luckily, you don't have to drive very far in New Jersey to find a place to load up on caffeine. There are so many amazing coffee shops throughout the state.
My day doesn't start until I head to my favorite coffee shop. Of course, I need the caffeine boost, but it's more about the overall experience I enjoy most. It's driving there, talking to people, the actual coffee, the cup, and the taste. I'm craving a cup right now!
With a coffee in hand, I'm ready to conquer the day, especially in a state where we're always in a hurry. It's go, go, go all day long. Coffee has become a necessity!
The study by coffee experts at Cafelista analyzed Bing Maps to determine how many coffee shops are in each state.
They analyzed a list of the biggest coffee shops in the United States and ranked states by the number of coffee stores per 100,000 people.
