Again, as only some of you probably know me from the brand new poster I am here, I am a newbie and so I would like your input on diners.

So far, the only coffee I can choke down is Village Inn and Bob Evans. I take decaf at the diners usually, which makes it even worse. I found the worst to be Denny's, both decaf and regular, and iHop literally tastes like water to me. I know that's to be expected, but are there any chain diners that actually serve good coffee?

No. Ironically some of the only decent, not talking great here, coffee I've found at chains is Panera light roast or specialty bakery's when they have fresh Petes medium roast(domingo or something). That tends to be in Cali though.

Still boring stuff made of likely stale beans...

Was going to say, Panera ain't that great...I put that on par with Starbuck's Pike Place lol.
