Coffee shop the earliest coffee shop in history

-Central Asia-

The earliest cafe, called Kaveh Kanes, was built in Mecca. Although originally for a religious purpose, these places soon became centers for playing chess, chatting, singing, dancing and listening to music. Since Mecca, cafes have spread throughout Aden, Medina (Medina) and Cairo (Cairo).

-Egypt in North Africa

After Samlim Ⅰ conquered Egypt in 1517, coffee was brought to Constantinople, where people gradually developed the habit of drinking coffee. Coffee was introduced to Damascus in 1530 and spread to Aleppo in 1532, where people developed the habit one after another. The most famous cafes in Damascus are the Rose Cafe and the Salvation Gate Cafe.

Although there were no cafes in Constantinople until 1554, they were soon famous for their luxurious decor as shopkeepers competed to attract customers. They have become places to socialize and do business, and gradually become the center of political debate. The government banned coffee production at all times-at one point, coffee defenders were sewn in bags and thrown into the Bosphorus Strait-but when taxes were imposed on coffee, it gained legal status.

-Italy in continental Europe-

The Florian-Florian Cafe in Piaza San Marco in Venice is the oldest existing cafe in Europe. Why are cafes so popular in the Middle East and Europe? The reason is very simple, because there were no cafes or other places before. Before the advent of cafes, there was no place to drink a drink that tasted good but was relatively inexpensive with friends.

-now Florian's cafe-

Venice merchants introduced coffee to continental Europe in 1615. It appeared in Europe several years later than tea and many years later than cocoa. Tea began to be sold in Europe in 1610, and cocoa was brought to Europe by the Spaniards from the New World in 1528. When coffee first appeared in Italy, some priests thought that coffee was a sinful product and should be strictly banned. Archbishop Clement Ⅷ (1592-1605) decided to taste the coffee himself. As a result, he liked the taste of coffee so much that instead of imposing a ban, he declared that "coffee should be crowned as a true Christian drink."

At first, coffee was sold at high prices as a drug, as well as by small lemonade vendors. The earliest Italian coffee shop that can be identified, bottega Cafe, opened in Venice in 1863 (another less reliable theory is 1645). In 1720 Floriano Francescari opened the Florian Cafe in St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), which is one of the most prestigious and expensive cafes in the world (excluding Japan). Cafes are still called caf é s in Italy and caf é s in other parts of Europe.

Since then, cafes have quickly spread throughout Italy, most of which are not in Venice. Georgio Quadri, the first merchant to sell real Turkish coffee, opened a coffee shop in 1775. Then Duc di Toscania, Imperatore Imperatrice della Russia, Tamerlan (Tamerlano), Diane (Fantae di Diana), Dame venete (Dame venete), Pace (Pace), Arabo-piastrelle and others all run coffee shops.

-England-

The first cafe in England was run by a man named Jacob in Oxford in 1650. About four years later, Oxford had a second cafe, Cirques Johnson, which was also said to be run by a man named Jacob. A coffee club was born in a private house near the College of Souls (All Souls'College), which later became the Royal Society (the Royal Society).

The first coffee shop in London opened in 1652. The St.Michael's Alley, located in Cornhill, was run by Pasqua Rosee and Mr. Mr.Bowman. Rosie could be Greek. The cafe became an example of many subsequent cafes, the most famous of which is the Mol's Coffee House Cafe in Exeter, Devon. Sir Sir Walter Raleigh used to drink coffee and smoke pipes there.

The most famous remaining London cafe was founded by Edward Edward Lioyd in 1688, initially in Tower Street and later moved to Lombard Street. For the convenience of customers, Lloyd always prepares a lot of forms to register customers' insured ships. Later, the Lloyds set up one of the largest private insurance companies in the world.

-the United States of North America-

In North America, the earliest references to coffee began in 1668, when coffee was described as a drink mixed with sugar (or honey) and cinnamon. Shortly after that, there were cafes in New York, Philadelphia, Boston and other towns.

The two earliest cafes in Boston were the London Cafe (London Coffee House) and Gutred Coffee (gutterudge Coffee House), which opened in 1691. One of the most famous is the Green Dragon Cafe (Green Dragon), the largest, most expensive and most beautifully decorated coffee exchange in the world in 1773. Built in 1808, it is a $50,000 seven-story building modeled after Lloyd's Cafe in London, but was destroyed by fire only 10 years later.

In 1683 New York began to have a market that mainly sold green coffee beans, and coffee soon replaced must beer as the main drink for breakfast. William Willian Penn ordered some coffee beans from Pennsylvania in New York, and the first coffee shop in New York was the King's Arms Cafe, which opened in 1696. Then came the trading cafe (Exchange Coffee House) on Broad Street in 1730, which later became a major trading center. But it is overshadowed by the Merchant Cafe (Merchants' Coffee House). In 1784, it was at the Merchant Cafe that the Bank of New York was founded and issued its first shares in 1790. Tontine, on Wall and Water Streets Street in New York, was the headquarters of the New York Stock Exchange for 10 years.

In Philadelphia, the third most famous city in early American history, the earliest coffee shop opened in 1700-it was called Ye Coffee House, and its main competitor was the London Cafe (London Coffee House). Unlike European cafes, American cafes are a gathering center for conservatives, not for activists, Republicans or writers. In cities that lack public buildings, cafes are often the venue for trials and meetings of city councillors.
