You're being flagged but you're absolutely correct. Maps search is awful. Yes, most McDonalds might have more than 4 stars, but that's not what I want when I search 'cafe'! I avoid most chain restaurants in general which makes it much worse. I wish there was at least an option to block restaurants from showing up in your results.

Search for "specialty coffee " and you'll be more likely to find a good place.

Google maps is still getting worse and worse though.

Search for "brew pub" and you'll get tons of non-brewpub results. I got a wholesale distributor while searching in south Indiana last night.

I mean, McDonald's does have coffee. I wouldn't say that is incorrect.

Their coffee is decently good for a large chain.

And targets often have a Starbucks inside thier belly.
