Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Spotted this on my way to work a few weeks ago. Would it surprise to you learn that by the time I passed this spot on my way home, the coffee was still there but the beer was gone?

London, England, U.K.

A neat name for a coffee shop. Department of Coffee and Social Affairs appears to be a small chain of socially responsible coffee shops, mainly located in London, with outposts in Manchester, Bristol and … Chicago. Came across this outlet in The City, London’s financial district.

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

What would most of us do without coffee? (I would bet we wouldn’t do very much.) This sign greets customers outside a java joint in Edmonton.

Cuba, si!

This colourful mural in Portland, Oregon, fills the wall of a building that’s also home to a Cuban restaurant. The place serves one of my favourite mocha espressos, anywhere. The drink looks almost too pretty to consume.

Almost too pretty to drink
