Coffee Shops and Hot Spots

Having a daily cup of tea or coffee in a modern day coffee shop has become more and more popular in Indonesia. In fact, we can say the modern coffee culture is mushrooming. Coffee shops are not only for having a 'cuppa' but are also places to meet friends and socialize. 
Coffee shops are usually cozy, relaxing places for people to sit down, have a chat or read. Comfortable chairs and sofas, soft lighting, magazines and even internet access are the characteristics of a modern day coffee shop. 
Back in the 15th century in the middle East, a coffee shop was a place were men got together, had coffee and socialized while listening to music, watching dramas or playing chess. Coffee shops also became popular meeting places in 17th century Europe. In the past in Indonesia, coffee shops attracted just men, but today with their more modern design and comfortable atmosphere more and more women are using them as a safe place to meet friends. Many coffee shops in Indonesia now provide a Hot Spot or Wi-Fi facilities that allow customers to access the internet using their mobile phone or laptop.
