I've had pretty good luck with a simple Yelp query for coffee shops near my current location. The only time that national chains show up is when they really are the only option. Where Yelp doesn't do a great job is differentiating, say, the top 5% of shops from all others. Searching for a brew method ("pourover," "Aeropress," or "Chemex") tends to bring those up first.
