Have you ever been stuck in a new city and out of the blue, the craving for coffee occurs? In your desperation you stop at a chain coffee shop, and the result is you being slightly disappointed you will never see those three dollars again. Here are four more ways you can distinguish a good coffee shop from a mediocre or truly awful coffee shop. *I would like to put a disclaimer that this is not an exhaustive list, and that there are many exceptions to these rules*
I hope you find this list can help when you are in need for a great cup of coffee in an unfamiliar place. Happy drinking!

For me, after the taste of the coffee/menu, it is always the 'fee' and the environment of the place. Some places just seem inviting, it could be because of the layout, interior decor, lightning or trained staff but an inviting cafe is where I would like to come again and again and be served.

You made a good point about knowing the drinks list and determine if most of them are coffee-based or sweetened to see if it's, in fact, a coffee shop or a fancy one. It makes sense because it is expected that people will be dropping by for a nice coffee while having a nice chit-chat with friends. I am a coffee lover myself who has yet to find the ideal coffee shop for me to constantly visit. I'll certainly follow your advice and take my experience to the next level if it's worth it.

What if the prices aren't listed?? I couldn't find the prices on the menu of this website... so it makes me think they are overpriced.
