Do you mean a private agency, or one of the State Department's "Regional Passport Agencies" (http://travel.state.gov/passport/about/agencies/agencies_913.html). The State Department agencies are appropriate if you live near one (there are only 14) and you are in a real big hurry (travel in the next two weeks and you have tickets in hand).

Otherwise, a post office or other acceptance facility (http://iafdb.travel.state.gov/) works well enough.
