When I was in Queensland I was a bit flabbergasted that every roadside sandwich shoppe, no matter how small or God-forsaken, served excellent coffee. Thankfully the world is healing and American coffee culture is improving. Starbucks has as much difficulty getting a toehold in New Orleans as it did in Brisbane and for the same reasons: there are so many places you can get better coffee, that no one wants to go to Starbucks.
