What did we do prior to the advent of the coffee shop? These days, there is practically one on every corner - somewhere to sip a frozen mocha while you chat with friends in overstuffed armchairs or stay on top of a project deadline thanks to several shots of espresso. But not just any coffee shop will do; everyone has a favorite, so cast your vote in the Readers' Choice poll below. The nomination period is now closed, but between July 23 through Aug. 17, cast your vote for your favorite. Whichever business gets the most votes will be named the Readers' Choice winner Aug. 24. Editor's note: Our polls will be registration-required for this contest.
