CoffeePlaces.com opened its doors in June of 2005. The idea for the site appeared out of necessity. One day while walking down the street in Vancouver, BC, my partner looked at me and said, "I wish I had a little book that listed the best places to drink coffee in this city" to which I replied, "You mean there isn't one?"

My first thought was, "I wish you hadn't said that - there goes the next six months of my life...". And so, an the idea for the site was born. A book would be nice, but a website would be even better. And so I set out to put together a comprehensive international directory of coffee places. While the task is far from done, I think you'll find we've made a pretty good start on it.

This site is only as good as the people who contribute to it. Please consider submitting all your favorite coffee spots and writing reviews for others to read. In this way, we hope eventually to become the best site on the net to find information about coffee places.

Your truly,
