Depictions of cafes in literature
I would like to read a book someday which takes excerpts about cafes from literature and reprints them all in one volume.
Two I am thinking of right now are:
Ernest Hemingway’s ‘A Clean, Well-Lighted Place’
and there’s a scene in John Steinbeck’s ‘Sweet Thursday’ in which the woman with whom Doc falls in love is working at a diner. I don’t remember much of it—I need to reread the book, or at least this part—but I remember thinking that perhaps my grandmother worked in a similar diner in the 50s.

This is a great example of cafe ‘creation’ not just cafe proliferation.

Starbucks in Paris. Yes, I stooped this low. However, this location (and, it seems, all of the many Starbucks that are in Paris now) is very nice. The front part has a sunlighted ceiling, and the back is extensive, bourgeois-looking nooks and rooms, with dark furniture and dark wood tables. It feels like I’m in New York at this location.
