I think you need to be looking at Chocolate Shops instead of cafes.

In Seattle, Dilettante is my favorite, but Fran's is an option ... and maybe even Theo?

In Kansas City (and maybe San Fran)Christopher Elbow

In NYC, Jacques Torres

In Anchorage, Modern Dwellers

Granted, none them beat Angelina in Paris, but they're worlds above Starbucks
