-what are Europeans doing in cafes?

When you come to the cafe, of course you come to drink coffee first.

Coffee, a magical drink, was endowed with magical functions as early as the Arab era. with the help of coffee, people thought about problems, dreamed of the world, and debated current politics. "it is the spiritual food for thinkers and chess masters"-by the way, Arabs hone their chess skills in coffee shops. Come to the cafe, people read, chat, listen to music, play chess, in the fragrant taste of coffee, let rational thinking insert romantic dream wings.

Europeans are also a people who love to argue, and coffee in their hands has become another extreme culture. Those who drink or gamble are not allowed to enter the door of the cafe, because people come to the cafe to promote intellectual growth. This enthusiasm for cafes expanded rapidly, and by 1730, there were nearly 4000 large and small cafes in Paris, the whirlwind center of the future democratic revolution. Looking at other places, such as London, Rome, Germany and Austria, it is too late to build new cafes, but more downtown restaurants, taverns and even high-end hotels are transformed directly into tall baroque cafes.

Later, cafes have more functions, including tea, cocoa, alcoholic drinks, all kinds of milk snacks and even dishes. In some cafes, people can stay overnight, often with bright lights until midnight, which is very lively.

In order to open up a wider public social life, high-end cafes at that time spared no expense to build halls that could hold dozens or even nearly a hundred coffee tables. For a long time, this was the earliest and only place for people from all walks of life to come and go freely in European cities. Among all kinds of people, there was a flood of inspiration from scholars in cafes and the quintessence of human civilization. From this small coffee table, it slowly spread all over the world.
