The National Coffee Association found that 67% of Americans drink coffee every single day, and WalletHub released a study showing which cities are made for coffee lovers.
Using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Google Trends, Yelp and other platforms, WalletHub analyzed the 100 most populated U.S. cities across 12 key metrics.
Some of the metrics included were the average price per pack of coffee, average price of a cappuccino, average spending on coffee per household, coffee shops per capita, donut shops per capita and more.

Lupo said, “Portland, Oregon, continued to hold the top spot as the best coffee city in America for 2024, reaffirming its strong coffee culture and vibrant local scene.”
“Portland’s position as this year’s top coffee city this year should not be surprising given its previous rankings. However, the city’s fall from first place in 2021 to fifth in 2022 and its return to the top spot in 2024 suggests a dynamic coffee scene,” he added.

San Francisco and Seattle came in second and third place, respectively, thanks to their average spending being $280 and $240 each year on coffee.

Cities toward the bottom of the list included San Jose, Nashville, Kansas City, Oklahoma City and Boise —which was ranked last.
