Last December, Slate Magazine published an article claiming that Starbucks actually helps mom and pop coffeehouses succeed. By creating greater general demand for coffee, the Seattle-based giant has boosted everybody's business.
I don't totally buy this story. Still, there are plenty of places to get a decent cup in Minneapolis, and to celebrate that, I'm going to hit up a different place every day this week. I'll start at the Aster Cafe (125 Main Street SE) and work my way northeast. Here's the tentative agenda:
Monday: Aster Cafe
Tuesday: Taraccino Coffee (224 East Hennepin Ave.)
Wednesday: Wilde Roast Cafe (518 East Hennepin Ave.)
Thursday: Diamonds Coffee Shop (1618 Central Ave. NE)
Friday: ?????????
According to EnergyFiend.com, it would take 85.71 cups of coffee to kill me. I'll try to enjoy in moderation.
