Yup.  I can't speak for the whole country, but here in Santa Cruz, CA  
the coffee is as good as anywhere in the world, and far better than  
most places I've visited.  Thirty years ago you couldn't get good  
bread, beer, or coffee anywhere, it seemed.  Now those staples are  
world class in more than a few parts of the country.
