coffee culture

Barista scene rituals

Coffee culture encompasses the social behaviors, rituals, and establishments centered on coffee consumption.

It includes the rise of cafés as gathering places, the connoisseurship of brewing methods and bean origins, and coffee's role as a social lubricant: The neighborhood has a thriving coffee culture with indie roasters on every block.

The term often implies an aesthetic—laptop workers in cafés, latte art, conversations over espresso.
