  2. Identify common attributes that patrons comment on and positive/negative sentiments associated with them.
  3. Identify the coffee shops that receive some of the best/worst ratings and uncover some of the reasons for those ratings.
  4. Develop a thorough understanding of the experience and sentiment that patrons have for a specific coffee shop.
