Editor’s note: Silver Cup Coffee is permanently closed.

A quick walk from my house there exists this little café at the corner of Everett and Colby Avenues, without which I would be a grumpier, sleepier human being. I can't stop at Silver Cup Coffee without bumping into someone I know. Every. Single. Time. Call it my Luke's (minus the burgers) or my Cheers (minus the liquor), or my Central Perk (minus the orange velvet). I call it MY coffee shop.
