I judge cities by the ratio of Dunkin Donuts to Starbucks - the higher the Dunkin Donuts the less swank the city

And many Starbucks - perhaps I should narrow the scope from city to neighborhood? Oh and independent coffeee shops trump all - a high amount of those relative to Starbucks or dunkins is a good sign.

Query: which is Swankier? A suburban Starbucks with a daily coffee klatch of moms with strollers and predictable smooth jazz or an independent coffee shop with a daily coffee klatch of wasted yutes, bad local art on the walls and--here it comes--bad coffee?

We have a great mom & pop donut/bagel shop across from my office. Unfortunately they always seem surprised to see a morning rush and it takes forever to get anything from them.

We have oodles of Starbucks, with more popping up overnight. Every large grocery store seems to have a kiosk in the lobby area. I have never seen a DD, but we do have a lot of Yum-Yum, but only in the baaad parts of town.

We did have 1 KK, people camped out for a week, waiting for it to open. It lasted a year.

If I am going to do damage I want a donut from Smith's Bakery (locally owned, very good) or Foster's.
