As summer turns into fall, there’s nothing like a warm cup of joe to stave off that crisp fall air. Fall flavors seem to pair especially well with coffee, too. (Pumpkin spice latte, anyone?) Because location intelligence is at the center of everything we do here at Gravy, we wanted to see which US cities consume the most coffee per capita. We used pseudonymous mobile location signals from November 2017 to April 2018 to find out.

And while we were at it, we decided to mention the top coffee house in each city. Since mainstays like Starbucks and Peet’s Coffee reign supreme in cities everywhere, we chose to highlight the top local favorite in (almost) every market.

Grab a fresh mug and see if your city made the list.
