The goal of this project was to develop an application that will provide results about nearby local coffee shops in a given radius from the user’s location. Upon result selection, app will provide navigational assistance to that location as an alternative to Starbucks in an effort to support the local community.

AS A coffee drinker, I WANT an app to find local coffee shops within a specific radius from my location SO THAT I can select and navigate to them.
AS A coffee drinker, I WANT this app to filter out chain coffee locations (such as Starbucks) SO THAT only local, small shops are displayed for me to discover and support locally.
AS A coffee drinker, I WANT my recent search to be saved upon refresh SO THAT I can easily navigate back to those results or clear if I’d like to search in a different area.
AS A coffee drinker, I WANT the app to display the top 3 results with the shop name, distance, travel time, and website SO THAT I can select and navigate to the location of my choice.
