Ah, the age-old ritual of grabbing coffee with a friend. Is there anything more restorative for both the heart and soul than good conversation and a cuppa joe?

 

Here in Bucks County, we’re lucky enough to have more than a few specialty coffee shops with hometown vibes that could give Starbucks a run for its money (though no disrespect to their Iced White Chocolate Mocha).

 

Whether you’re looking for a place around the corner from your office for a quick shot of espresso or have a little more time to laze around and watch the foot traffic, the next time you’re looking for a spot to catch up with a friend check out our list below.

The Coffee Room

15 South State Street, Newtown

Serving coffee locally roasted by ReAnimator Coffee, Philadelphia and Calm Waters Coffee Roasters, their classic approach to coffee focuses on the love of the taste — you can drink it black — it’s that good. Or you can add locally sourced milk, soy milk or almond milk if you prefer.
