coffeehouses
Espresso drink establishments
Coffeehouses are establishments serving coffee and other beverages, often with light food.
They function as social spaces for conversation, work, or relaxation: We met at a coffeehouse to discuss the project.
Historically, coffeehouses served as centers of intellectual exchange and political discussion.
The term feels slightly old-fashioned; *coffee shop* or *café* is now more common in everyday speech.
