Coffee & Tea House Houses
A coffeehouse (French/Spanish/Portuguese: café; Italian: caffè, German: Kaffeehaus, Turkish: Kahvehane) process some characteristics of a bar, and some of the characteristics of a restaurant, but it is completely different form a cafeteria. According to the name, coffeehouses are specialized in providing coffee, tea and light snacks whereas cafe is an informal restaurant offering a different kind of hot meals and perhaps can process licensed to serve alcohol. According to the cultural point of view, Coffee houses function as centers of social interaction: The coffeehouses offers social members with a place to congregate, talk, write, read, entertain one another, or pass the time, whether individually or in small groups. Since the 15th century, the coffeehouse (al-maqhah in Arabic, qahveh-khaneh in Persian or Kahvehane or kıraathane in Turkish) has served as a social gathering place in Middle Eastern countries where men assemble to drink coffee (usually Turkish coffee) or tea, listen to music, read books, play chess and backgammon, and perhaps hear a recitation from the works of Antar or from Shahnameh.
