This time, we will take a look at the cafes (cafes) established when coffee spread to Europe.

At that time, the cafe established in every country was considered to be the oldest place in Venice.

The role of the coffee shop

Cafes are places where coffee can be served, mainly in Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire. It's like a modern "cafe", but I'm not just for coffee.

As a social gathering place, as a meeting place.

Many cafes play the role of "social gathering places", and people are deepening exchanges, exchanging information about the world and having discussions.

In particular, the coffee shop opened in London, England, has become a meeting place for many people and eventually a meeting place for political associations.

The coffee shop spread to Venice

Coffee spread to Venice and cafes began to appear from the 17th century to the early 18th century. It is said that the first coffee shop in Europe flourished from the Ottoman Empire (Islamic world) to the transportation center of Europe.

As the Ottoman Empire is an important base for conquering Europe, it will serve as a point of cultural exchange. Many cafes in Venice have become muddy and all kinds of people come to visit. The cafe has become a place for crowds rather than social gatherings, but many people live there besides those who like to drink coffee.

At prostitution and gambling sites

In fact, prostitution and gambling in Venice Cafe are rampant. So the government often regulates cafes. But the entire national "Coffee Eradication Strategy" has been carried out twice as a rough Venice coffee shop, and the cafe culture seems to have survived by the resistance of citizens.

Cafe Florian Cafe

In the coffee shop that opened at that time, there is another place that continues to be a coffee shop. This is how "Cafe Florian" opened in 1720. The coffee shop Florian continues to operate, even though it has survived the above-mentioned Coffee Eradication Strategy and competition with the management of coffee houses that stand out here and there.

As the oldest coffee shop in Europe, tourists and coffee lovers look the same. If you have the opportunity to visit Europe, you should visit the traditional coffee shop "Cafe Florian".

The oldest coffee shop in operation, "Cafe Florian"

How's it going? Today's cafes also seem to play a big role in culture.

In addition, I am surprised that Cafe Florian, the oldest coffee shop in Europe, is still in operation. I'd like to have a cup of coffee that has been running for nearly 300 years.
