Coffee was unheard of throughout most of middle ages Europe and tea brewed only as a remedy of sorts. Both were seen in the middle easter however so how do you, or do you, present them in your game?
Is coffee a standard drink throughout? Do adventurers set down to a cup of 'joe' across Golarion?
Do you confine it to Qadira, Osirion and similar locales? Perhaps let it spread across a bit to nations they have had contact with? (Taldor for example perhaps picking up the drink during their time of Qadiran occupation?)
Do you give a crap? Laugh

Truly, the dark ages.
My players got such a craving for their characters to enjoy a good cup of coffee that they ended up attacking the 9th plane of Hell.
Please note, they went there on there own and large wicker baskets were not involved...
To this day I have no idea why they suddenly believed that the big daddy of the devils...Big D...had coffee to die for...which 5 out of 7 heroes did indeed die.
I sent the survivors to that middle eastern setting...Zakhara I think?
Probably still there.

Hey! I'm a dragon not a devil! I do loves me some coffee though.
Coffee is in Adventurer's Armory, where it's listed as costing 1 cp a cup in the average Inner Sea city.
Coffee is a common part of many cultures in Garund. A very strong brew called Sargavan Red is potent enough to reduce the penalties from the fatigued condition from -2 to -1 for an hour.

I'm pretty sure that the boys in the Dave Gross novels they do drink coffee.. I have confirmed that Oppara, Korvosa, and Ketapesh all have coffee houses in them by searching the wiki
A Katapeshi coffee house (called Thrice Blessed) is detailed in the Solku section of Towns of the Inner Sea.
Good catch Joana, I never thought to look there. Nuff said!

What about chocolate in the Inner Sea? I'd say it would have to be from Arcadia, but the setting has tomatoes and potatoes already anyway.

I don't remember mentioning coffee, but I do seem to recall checking that it exists in the Inner Sea region. Since Cheliax has a certain Italian flavor, it only makes sense that the upper class would enjoy something like espresso.
I present it as common in Garund and a luxury item elsewhere. My PCs went to the trouble of specifically buying some and a pot and carting it around when they went to a big port from the otherwise uncivilized backwater of Varisia.
My elf wizard has decided that the interlopers ( as she calls humans) don't actually need to be exterminated, as long as they keep supplying her with coffee and chocolate.
