10: Coffee Beanery
Starting in 1976, Coffee Beanery has grown to more than 100 locations and is known for its flavored coffee, like banana nut bread, blueberry cobbler, and cherry vanilla. It’s also popular for selling its coffees via a coffee of the month club, as well as a subscription service where you can build your own box of coffee samples. Coffee Beanery was founded by a husband-and-wife team and still operates as a family-run business. The company hand-selects its coffee beans and roasts them on site, while packaging and distribution also stay in-house. The sheer number of flavored coffees lands Coffee Beanery toward the middle of our list, because if you enjoy flavored coffees, this is a must-try. With options like white raspberry mocha and blackberry and vanilla sweet tea, your taste buds will go on a whirlwind journey.
9: Scooters Coffee
Scooter’s Coffee opened in 1998 as a drive-thru in Nebraska and was named for its quick and efficient service. Now you can “scoot in and scoot out,” as its website puts it, with your preferred cup of Joe at more than a dozen locations. Scooter’s roasts the top 10% of coffee beans, creating high-quality hot and iced coffee, plus lattes (non-dairy available), cappuccino, espresso, and blended coffee drinks. For the non-coffee bunch, Scooter’s offers hot chocolate, iced tea, smoothies, and non-caffeinated beverages. If you get hungry while you’re there, choose from sweets and baked goods like donuts, cake bites, cookies, muffins, egg bites, pretzel snacks, as well as breakfast sandwiches and burritos.
8: Dunkin
When Dunkin’ opened in Quincy, MA in 1950, it was a pioneer. Previously known as Dunkin’ Donuts, this iconic coffee shop was all about fresh-made donuts. There was a time when you could even watch them make the donuts. Over the years, Dunkin’ grew to more than 13,200 locations, most of which are in the New England area. Fun fact: There’s a Dunkin’ roughly every 5 minutes from Weymouth, MA to Bridgewater, MA — about a 45-minute drive, and I’ve been to all of them.
7: La Colombe
La Colombe is French for dove, named for the universal symbol of peace, which is why the dove graces this coffee chain’s cups. It’s opened more than two dozen cafe locations since 1994, serving up classic, single-origin roasts from light to dark, as well as espresso and lattes. But it might be most known for its ready-to-drink cold brew cans and draft lattes. La Colombe also offers a subscription service and multiple brewing options for enjoying its roasted coffee at home.
6: Dunn Brothers Coffee 
Dunn Brothers Coffee originated in Minnesota in 1987 and has bloomed into over 60 locations, sourcing high quality, Fair Trade-, and Rainforest Alliance-certified coffee. Dunn Brothers is a one-stop coffee shop for your morning brew and breakfast. Build your own cheesy egg sandwich with choices like biscuits or bagels and sausage or bacon. But there are a number of other fresh-made items like avocado toast, lunch sandwiches, and even pizza or soup. But certainly, Dunn Brothers is well-liked for its coffee options, such as one of the best cold brews around. Steeping for 24 hours, its cold brew is strong and bold, and many coffee lovers drink it black. But it’s also the backdrop to many of its iced drinks like nitro vanilla iced and chocolate steamed nirvana.
5: Caribou Coffee 
Caribou Coffee’s first location opened in 1992 in Minnesota, and it’s since grown internationally, including its nearly 500 locations across the U.S. Paying close attention to the beans it sources, Caribou Coffee is Rainforest Alliance-certified and roasts its beans in small batches, offering light to dark roasts. Along with your classic-style coffee options, like latte, cappuccino, and espresso, Caribou Coffee handcrafts specialty beverages like fruit shakers, energy drinks, and flavorful combination drinks, such as mint mocha, cookies and cream, spiced chai, and matcha vanilla. The menu is so vast, from sandwiches to yogurt to baked goods to granola bars, you’ll find something that fits into your dietary lifestyle.
4: Marylou’s
Marylou’s is a hidden gem in southeastern Massachusetts, with roughly 40 locations. Beginning its coffee journey in 1986 with the bold claim of being “the best coffee in town,” Marylou’s is easily recognizable with its bright pink logo and décor. It also features traditionally brewed coffee but is known for its flavored coffee
3: Starbucks
Most people are familiar with Starbucks, the coffee chain that started in Seattle in 1971. But perhaps there’s no other coffee chain that gets coffee lovers into arguments more than this one. You either love its coffee or hate it (personally, I love it). Since more folks love it, it ranks higher on our list. Whether you want a simple cup of coffee, shot of espresso, nitro cold brew, or an over-the-top sugary treat, Starbucks has it.
2: Stumptown Coffee Roasters
Stumptown Coffee Roasters spends an inordinate amount of time sourcing just the right beans. We consider Stumptown one of the best coffee brands on the market, and likewise, the coffee chain also ranks high for us. Creating coffee with art, it specializes in cappuccinos, lattes, espresso, and regularly brewed coffee. You can also enjoy baked goods and pastries. Beyond the cafes, you can participate in a subscription service to receive Stumptown coffee at home. If you’re looking for something ready to drink, there’s canned cold brew.
