A Local Coffee Shop Bucket List | DE, MD and PA

One of my favorite things to do is visiting new coffee shops. In full transparency, though, I’m really bad at it. I tend to frequent the nearest Starbucks or Dunkin’ because they are convenient and I have rewards or points to use. (Proud Starbucks Gold Card holder for 10+ years!)

However, now that the world is more or less back to a “normal” state of things, I’m motivated to branch outside of my coffee comfort zone and explore the coffee shops around me.

Off the bat, there were a few shops on my “local coffee shop bucket list,” but I asked you guys on my Instagram Story for recs and now I want to go to all of them! I have visited a few already and absolutely loved the experience!
