Coffee is one of those things that you would find at every corner of the globe. A café is one of those places, where people have met, discussed, come up with brilliant ideas, have fallen in love, and so much more to it. Coffee has been an integral part of society, ever since it came into being. As a great man once said, “Over second and third cups flow matters of high finance, high state, common gossip and low comedy. [Coffee] is a social binder, a warmer of tongues, a soberer of minds, a stimulant of wit, and a foiler of sleep if you want it so. From roadside mugs to the classic demitasse, it is the perfect democrat.”
Coffee shops therefore have been significant in leaving a mark on the lives of many around the world. Some might have written their first poem at a cafe, some might have had the best stimulating coffee with friends and some might have found the person of their lives! Stories are born in each and every café all around the world. The evolution of such stories has made certain cafes, historical and memorable. Let us take a look at some of them.
We shall begin with La Rotende, as it is one of the most famous Parisian cafes of the great expatriate era of American literature. T.S Eliot, Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, were some of the patrons at the Café La Rotende. The Caffe Florian, at Venice is yet another café, that is famous all over the world, but in this case, it is the beauty of the café. It can in fact, be termed as one of the most beautiful cafes in the entire world. Les Deux Magots, Paris has been the café of fame and popularity since ages now. The aura of the café is mesmerizing and it is this aura and ambience of the café that has given the immense popularity. A favorite of Sartre and De Beauvoir, Café de Flore, Paris has crafted a niche for itself in the world of famous cafes. Just the way there are innumerable ways to drink coffee, there are innumerable cafes to drink them at and some of them, have achieved a place in the hall of fame.
