      I know the feeling, the days of cool cafes full of second-hand sofas and bookcases stuffed w/ books (and cool people) may be at an end.

      The Devil's Cup is a great book.

      We get great coffee here in New Zealand. Lots of fair trade and organic roasts to choose from. Although over here cafe's are normally full of hipsters or middle/upper class twits or business people. There's still a few cool places around though.

      coffee, the arty bean

      Other cafes evolved into centers for the arts and sciences. Isaac Newton hung out at the Grecian Coffeehouse; Will’s Cafe was the haunt of writers like Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope and painters like Hogarth frequented Old Slaughter’s.

      Intelligent people discussing interesting things in an intelligible manner. Quite a concept. Coffeehouses had made civilized conversation into a popular sport.

      "The Net is the latest manifestation, or equivalent, of the coffeehouse as a social institution, a place where anybody can gather, regardless of social standing, and exchange intelligible opinions."
