As the seasons change, it gets darker earlier and you struggle to stay awake throughout the rest of your work days. Everyone starts moving a little slower as they filter in and out of the trains, and drivers sluggishly crawl down the expressway going to and from work.

You begin to notice your coworkers yawning more often throughout the afternoon, and that electric summer energy has escaped the walls of your office. How can you get your mojo back? We’ve got the caffeine fix you need to propel you through your work week. Check out some of our favorite coffee shops below!
