coffee houses

Espresso serving establishments

Coffee houses are establishments serving coffee and other beverages, often with light food.

Historically, they functioned as social gathering places for conversation, business dealings, and intellectual exchange.

The term appears as two words, one word (coffeehouse), or hyphenated (coffee-house), with no difference in meaning.

The coffee houses of 17th-century London were hubs of political debate.
