Coffee house culture history

Origin of the coffee house (as brought up back on the first ep of this series)
In 1453, coffee drinking was introduced to Constantinople (modern Istanbul) by the Ottomans. The world's first coffee shop, Kiva Han (http://arabicwithoutwalls.ucdavis.edu/aww/chapter9/didyouknow.html), opened in Constantinople in 1475.

Europe until the 17th century. However, when it did, it was met with many varying opinions. It still caught on like a wildfire, even with the people that detested its existence. The 18th century London coffee house (https://ineedcoffee.com/the-coffee-house-a-history/)was the center of controversy, in many ways, even to the point of the king trying to ban coffee and close the establishments. Being the place for political discussion, some of the policies of our newly formed country might have originated in one of these places.

Cafe-Racing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caf%C3%A9_racer):
The term originated among British motorcycle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle) enthusiasts of the early 1960s in London, specifically within the Rocker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocker_(subculture)) or "Ton-Up Boys" youth subculture, where the bikes were used for short, quick rides between popular cafés, in Watford (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watford) at the Busy Bee café, and the Ace Café (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_Cafe) in Stonebridge (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonebridge,_London), London.[3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caf%C3%A9_racer#cite_note-Koutsoukis-3)[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caf%C3%A9_racer#cite_note-Wright-4)[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caf%C3%A9_racer#cite_note-Pratt-2)[5] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caf%C3%A9_racer#cite_note-5)[6] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caf%C3%A9_racer#cite_note-Velocity-6)
