Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee Claim Shot Down
The eatery wanted to trademark the phrase “Best Coffee in America.” The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office said no. Do you agree with Dunkin’ or is there better coffee to be had right here in Land O' Lakes?
Drive around Land O' Lakes and it is evident there are plenty of places to get a hot cup of Joe. But who has the best? Dunkin’ Donuts tried to stake the claim that its brew was the finest in America.

Coffee Shop Has A Different Kind Of Mission
Some profits benefit missionary groups, ministries and nonprofits.
It’s kind of like “ 'Cheers,’ but without the beer.” That’s how customer Adam Smith describes A Cup of Organic, 1900 Oak Grove Blvd. The shop opened about six months ago as more than its owners originally intended. It was supposed to be an ecommerce company that would enable churches and other organizations to fundraise for their ministries by selling organic coffee purchased directly by A Cup of Organic from farmers in Comayagua, Honduras.
