Modern coffee brands are using the traditional way of serving the people of their community. Cafes are the best place when you want to find rest and relaxation. When you want to change views and ideas or even get advices, a coffee shop is a place to be. It has been a tradition that café’s or coffeehouses serves to be a place of news, learning, business deals, gossips, economic discussions, as well as scientific and political point of views.
Long before in history café’s are the most popular place in town and most ideas back then where the sources of political forums and discussion. Kings and noble men use coffeehouses to gather people so that they can know the opinion of the public through collecting information. In the 17th century coffee was slowly introduced in Europe. This is where coffeehouses are being built because there are no grocery stores or small stores back then and not all men can afford to buy a sack of coffee beans. That is why coffeehouses were built by people that can afford to make a business out of coffee beans and slowly coffeehouses become popular to the local folks.
A coffeehouse back then serves as a place where people can meet, ask one another for anything that is new, it’s a place where people can have the inspiration to write a poem or even plays, it is where political leaders decides what would be the best for their town and for businessmen to conduct their transactions. Café’s or coffeehouses serves to be the direct mailing address back then because most of the towns people often stop by the coffeehouses to find news and this is where mailmen can locate a person that they are looking.
Coffeehouses are like restaurants and bars but they differ in what kind of food or products they sell. Coffeehouses focus in brewing and serving coffee, teas and light snacks, while restaurants and bars serves heavy meals and dishes for their customers. But in some countries they developed their coffeehouses into a mix of restaurants and bars that is why they serve desserts, soups, alcohols, full dishes and meals with coffee.
Café’s today still continues the tradition of coffeehouses before. It is still a popular place where people can relax in a calm atmosphere with their friends or love ones, read a book, finding out what’s the latest news today or meet up with people over a cup of the best quality coffee in town. Starbucks, Peet’s, Seattle’s Best Coffee, The Coffee Bean, Cup O’ Joe and The second Cup are some of the coffee brands that still continues the traditional coffeehouse with a little touch of modernity. These café’s are popular because of its atmosphere where people could sit down and chat.
Coffeehouses have dramatically changed over the centuries depending on what country and region. In the United States coffee shops have been selling varieties of products such as teas, chocolates and different kinds of coffee styles. Alcohol beverages are also being sold on coffeehouses. In Europe café’s have become more stylish because they made the sidewalk streets and terraces more useful by placing tables and chairs where they can make their customers comfortable. This is where most parties in Europe usually happen on the sidewalks or on alleys that is near coffeehouses. Nowadays there is a more modern Coffeehouse that is popularly known as internet café, this is where people stay and relax hooking up in the internet chatting over a cup of quality coffee.
