Goplaces
A clean CLI for the Google Places API that actually gets out of your way. Query nearby coffee shops with filters for rating and open status, resolve addresses, pull place details with reviews, or pipe everything to JSON for scripts. The human-readable output is the default, which is refreshing. You'll need a Google Places API key to use it, and Homebrew makes installation simple. Handy for anything from quick local searches to building location-aware automation. The pagination support and location biasing with lat/lng/radius mean you can get pretty specific without wrestling with raw API calls.
