Coffee Beans -- Where to buy online?
I need a good source of fresh roasted coffee beans. In NYC, I used to go to Whole Foods where they did the roasting on-site all the time. Here in BOS, I can't find any good sources of fresh stuff. The Whole Foods by me had some of the worst coffee I've ever bought last time I went there.
Where can I get stuff that is roasted and shipped the same day, with a good selection of beans and blends?

peets.com is excellent coffee. Roasted daily, very fresh. In the Bay Area, they rule the roast! ^
Edited to add try the house blend for the best value, it's half the price of some of their exotics, and very full bodied.

Peets has great coffee, some of the best. I've also bought from Sweet Maria's, in the past, and enjoyed their blends. www.sweetmarias.com

I swear by their Chocolate Marshmallow, Highlander Grogg, and Mysore. Currently, I'm sipping a latte made with their Tiramisu
Not the worlds cheapest coffee, but certainly some of the best.

Not to be confused with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. VCC is small batch roasted and shipped (via Dakin Farms) just after roasting. I can buy it locally, and its the best.
Enjoy!

You might consider purchasing a home coffee roaster, and purchasing green beans, and roasting a small amount each week. It isn't much trouble, and the cost of the green beans is less than roasted, plus you will have very freshly roasted beans.
Check out www.sweetmarias.com for some roaster choices.

La Colombe in Philadelphia ships. Don't know if you have had it but it's got a very nice flavor, imo. Coffee's not too cheap, but I see their shipping isn't bad.

The website is annoying. Click on "business" for the ordering screen.

A guy at my work owns this coffee farm in Kona and brings in batches for us. The coffee is amazing:
