Like one of those March Madness polls, voters will pick between two paired-off coffee shops or diners, until just one remains standing as the local King of Coffee.

Sure, this is grounds for debate, and we expect the competition to be like an ideal cup of coffee − heated and strong, but ultimately bringing a satisfying smile.

The first round of the Times' Beaver Valley Mocha Madness competition will see popular spots from around the region square off for the spot of champion, including a variety popular cafes, donut spots and locally owned coffee shops.
