Dying for Coffee?  Yelp it!
If you haven’t tried this site yet, you must know someone who has.

Yelp is one of the emerging websites that offers a fun and easy way to find, review and talk about what’s great – and not so great – in your town.

With its easy to read and use site, www.yelp.com lets everyone become a critic of restaurants, bars, boutiques, mechanics or dentists.  Overall, Yelp proves that you can’t please everybody, as even the best places may have a scathing review from a disgruntled writer. Still, a quick scan through a dozen or so Yelp reviews offers a pretty good idea of what to expect when you choose a place to get your favorite scone or brew.

And what’s even better is the Yelp smartphone app that lets you find the nearest food, gas or service you want. Just type in ”Coffee” when you come off the trail and YELP will tell you the nearest place for your caffeine bath. That alone makes it worth trying out!
