Starbucks. They met at a Starbucks. I'm sure there was one in Rhosgobel and another by Carrock. And another in Laketown. The only one that closed was in the Withered Heath. The franchise just couldn't stay profitable there.

According to the Annals of Arabica, they made an impressive Worm-berry Frappuccino

Bet that was popular with that one dwarf who practically drowned himself in coffee:

A big jug of coffee had just been set in the hearth, the seed-cakes were gone...

Since the cakes were gone, I assume that's his second jug of the stuff...

No, no, no. They met in the pub. The ancient Pub name “The bear and ragged staff “ is evidence of this being a corruption of Beorn and Radagast’s staff”. The bear and Ragged Staff is also the crest of the county of Warwickshire. Tolkien grew up in Warwickshire. Tolkien likes pubs. It is all symbolic and a code indicating the origins of Tom Bombadil and the location of the Enwives and who Gil-galad’s daddy really was. But it is SECRET so I can’t tell you and only I have noticed.*nods wisely*

In the real world Beorn once lived in the Elm hills, which is north of the Harz mountains in Lower Saxony, Germany.

Radagast dwelt in Rhosgobel, near the Old Forest Road. Today this place is a small town named Radegast in Saxony-Anhalt., Germany
