If you're a fan of the caffeine-laden aroma of a fresh brew of coffee, Atlanta's the place to be.

According to personal finance website WalletHub, Atlanta is the 14th best city for coffee among the nation's 100 most populated cities.

One East Atlanta coffee shop even won "Best Brew" in a national contest last year.

To come up with the list, WalletHub analysts examined 12 metrics, including number of coffee shops per capita, "free Wi-Fi" coffee shops, Google search traffic for the word "coffee," average prices for coffee or cappuccino and more.
