The café, or coffee house, has been a vital gathering place for innovators and mavericks in Europe since the seventeenth century. Unlike taverns, pubs, or bars, cafés provide a conducive environment for intellectual discourse and creativity. With their comfortable seating and stimulating coffee, they have been the birthplace of numerous revolutionary movements that continue to shape our world today. In her latest book, Monica Porter takes readers on a captivating journey through six centuries, nine European countries (including America), and a wealth of historical episodes, featuring some of the most intriguing and noteworthy people who ever lived. Throughout the book, the café plays a pivotal role, serving as a backdrop to many of the stories and often taking center stage. The twelve venerable establishments featured in the book's title, dating from 1686 to 1911, are still standing, allowing readers to experience these places firsthand. This makes the volume an ideal companion for history buffs, travelers, and café-lovers alike.
