I'm talking about chain places; Perkins, Dennys, IHOP, etc What's your favorite? I like Perkins for breakfast.

I prefer morning coffee at home. Always consistently delicious. DH and I both like cinnamon coffee with our morning bagel. When i was working the hospital had a ""coffee cart"" in the lobby and I would get to work early enough to get a coffee and a muffin every day - they were delicious but I am still carrying those muffins on my hips.

Denny's has two coffee choices now, regular or bold. I really like the bold, DH did, too.

I keep hearing about Tim Hortons but I've never tasted it. I guess in Canada they stand in long lines to get in.

It's not a restaurant, but my favorite coffee out comes from 7-11 or Dunkin' Donuts.

And there's always great coffee at almost any diner on Long Island.

I like having my morning coffee at home, but if I have an early errand to run, there are two places I usually stop. One is Peets Coffee for a white chocolate mocha. The other believe it or not, is McDonald's. I really like their hot, black coffee and usually order a sausage on biscuit with it.

There is a little Mexican restaurant close to my home, and they have the best coffee ever. It is already brewed in a liquid form, comes to them in a box, and is great. The brand is Douwe Egberts. I checked and I can buy it online, but I don't know how a container would keep for just one person. The restaurant has been really good to share their "secret" to me--even letting me look at the machine they put it in to warm it up. Yum, may have to go tomorrow.

Other good place--McDonalds. Wish they would quit with the Equal, though.

I was born in the Netherlands and Douwe Egberts is a Dutch brand coffee. I remember my parents drinking it when I was little. I've been considering ordering it online myself.

The best coffee around, in my opinion, is the coffee I get free at my 2nd home. This just happens to be a hospital where I think they will soon put my name on 1 wing of the 6th floor. My wife has bought me the $4 and $5 cups of coffee, but give my my Folgers Instant or my 2nd home coffee any time over these budget busting things I mention above.

Very few restaurant coffees ever taste as good as the coffee we make at our house. As far as those sugar packets, they drive me crazy, hate them!

My favorite is Dunkin' Donuts coffee - at their place or mine. Just got a mini-Keurig and am enjoying what they are calling "Donut Shop" coffee. Tastes great also! (I mostly drink just one cup a day, so I'm hardly an expert.)

One hotel I was in served Illy coffee and that tasted a lot better than Starbuck's.

I've never found a good strong coffee in restaurants ... they are all too weak for my taste.

I love Dunkin Donuts coffee, I'm only allowed to drink decaf, and theirs is the best I've tried.

We don't really go to the chains you mentioned in the OP, route 7. But when we're on a road trip, I do like cracker barrell coffee. Tim Hortons - not a fan of their coffee. DD is always my favorite.

I don't go to chains like Denny's or I Hop very often, so I can't really remember if their coffee was good or bad.

Despite the disagreement I will surely get, I like Starbucks. I like a strong coffee with lots of half and half. It's always nice and hot and they have good treats there too!

Is that the pie place? We used to have one around here. Based in Oregon, if I recall.
