What is a coffee house?: 

What is a coffee house? A coffeehouse or coffee shop is an establishment which serves prepared coffee or other hot beverages. It shares some of the characteristics of a bar, and some of the characteristics of a restaurant, but it is different from a cafeteria. Coffeehouses focus on providing coffee and tea as well as light snacks. From a cultural standpoint, coffeehouses largely serve as centers of social interaction: the coffeehouse provides social members with a place to talk, write, read, entertain one another, or pass the time, whether individually or in small groups of 2 or 3. In the United States, the French word for coffeehouse ( café ) means an informal restaurant, offering a range of hot meals .

Conclusion: It was my first time that I entered this Coffee House, what really attracted me is the color. The atmosphere is not what I really like, because it is not my type. This coffee is more masculine and “ shisha -people” to come and have fun.
