2010 Top Caffeine Addicted Cities

With coffee shops springing up on just about every corner in America’s cities, The Daily Beast thought they could use this piece of data to determine which cities are the most caffeinated.

They basically figured out how many coffee shops there are per 100,000 people and combined that with how much money the average person in each city spends on coffee each month. Here’s what they came up with from most caffeinated to least.

T0p 10 Caffeinated Cities

1. Seattle, Washington
2. Portland, Oregon
3. San Jose, California
4. Denver, Colorado
5. San Francisco, California
6. Chicago, Illinois
7. Phoenix, Arizona
8. Los Angeles, California
9. New York, New York
10. Boston, Massachusetts

Their list consisted of the top 20 along with each city’s stats, but you can click on the link above to see the entire list. While this is a cool way of determining caffeine consumption, I think to be totally accurate money spent on energy drinks would also have to be considered. That piece of caffeine use data would probably be harder to come by though.
