One study says you shouldn't drink more than six cups a day. Another says you're fine with nearly 25 cups. Whichever you choose to believe, you need to get your coffee from somewhere.

We know not everyone gets their caffeine fix from a chain, and you’re the people we’re talking to this week.

» Atlanta ranked one of America's top coffee cities

Which coffee shop is your favorite spot to enjoy a cup o' joe? Are you more in to the cute cafes, like these OTP spots? Or do you prefer to stay intown, where shops serve coffee for every generation?

Don't see your favorite spot on our list? Submit a write-in nominee by emailing your pick to nancy.clanton@ajc.com.

If enough people suggest your favorite, we’ll add it to our poll. But keep in mind that we’re looking for local coffee shops, not the chains.
