Maybe all the attractive Philly people live outside of the city and commute.
As for the coffee, Starbucks is just awful, the Bose of coffee. They make themselves out to be a place where you can get higher quality, but they don't measure up to the mom-and-pop places that actually know their stuff. Dunkin' Donuts may not be the finest of coffees, but it's a coffee/donut shop and good for what it is. I wouldn't expect McDonalds to measure up to Kobi steaks.

Kensingston!
I agree re mon-&-pop, but the problem is most n'np's don't know their stuff. Those that do seem to feel they can charge you $4+ for a freakin' cappuccino!
