When I arrived on Guam one of my first priorities was finding and trying all the coffee because I am a coffee addict and visiting coffee shops has always been one of the small joys in my life. So here I have for you Guam’s coffee shops, their most popular menu items, and what makes each one special! In alphabetical order …
