I am not embarassed to say that I will be visiting Starbucks while in Playa.
I always grind some beans to take to Playa with me. I absolutely need my fix as soon as I get out of bed! I too, am not too crazy about the coffee in Mexico, hubby really likes it though. Having said this, Cafe Corazon's is pretty good (and potent!) and my next choice is Java Joe's. I like a strong cuppa.
