Sean is correct...Julie King and Henry Miller have a piece on it in Historical Archaeology, sometime between 1987 and 1990.
I'm curious if anybody has recovered coffee beans, one of the few plant materials that we intentionally burn and, therefore, should survive archaeologically.

Not quite your time frame, but in late 17th c. Maryland there seems to have been a coffee house on the property of Garrett Van Sweringen in St. Mary's City.

Subject: Coffee house archaeology

Hello,

I am currently in the process of analyzing a fairly large assemblage of
material deposited in a cellar in Cambridge, England, in c. 1780 that is
associated with a coffee house that occupied the site. The association
seems quite secure given that the assemblage is quite heavily skewed
towards coffee/tea related material and there are some vessels marked
with the initials/names of known proprietors.

I'm looking for any parallels for the assemblage, preferably limited to
the 18th century as 19th century coffee houses were quite different
institutions, and am not having a great deal of success. Any leads on
published or unpublished material would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Craig Cessford
