Best brewed coffee shop names from around the globe

Source: javalinacoffeehouse.com

The following is a list of my favorite coffee shop names that have creative, catchy, edgy, and fun names from across the world. Part of the success in any business is a memorable name. That being said, a great name alone cannot assure success as is evident by several coffee shops listed below which no longer exist. A great name must be accompanied by a great product, great service, and great management.

Ground(s) = 12 times
Brew(s)/Bru; Bean; Cup(pa); or Jo(e) = 9 times
Java = 7 times
