Mammoth Lakes, CA - Looney Bean Coffeeshop (INeedCoffee.com) (#)
„About halfway down Main Street, before Highway 203 resumes its meandering climb to 9,000 feet, and descends to Devil's Postpile National Monument, right in the heart of Mammoth Lakes, is a coffeehouse that is actively preserving the community's local culture. If you are within one hundred yards of the Looney Bean on a cool summer evening, when the wind is right, you can smell the pungent odor of roasting coffee emanating from the smoke stack and wafting across the Sierra Nevada sky. At first it turns you off, but at daybreak, when the Eastern sky comes alive and people steadily wander into the Looney Bean for their morning cup of Joe like church-goers on Sunday, aversion turns to curiosity as you stroll inside to see what the big deal is. This is where fishermen gather before heading out to the lakes.“

„By the turn of the century, coffeehouses made appearances and became centers of social, political and business interactions. The first coffeehouse was established in New York in 1696. Merchant's coffeehouse opened in 1737 in the Wall Street area and was the site of many historic events, such as the reaction to the Stamp Act in 1765 and the mass meeting after the battles at Lexington and Concord. Merchant's coffeehouse was also the birthplace of the first American financial institution, the Bank of New York.“

„The popularity of coffee also extended to the coffee shops themselves. From the 19th century onward, in addition to serving up coffee, coffeehouses were expected to provide customers with the day’s newspapers or with facilities for billiards or games of chess and cards. Coffeehouses became part of the cultivated leisure industry. “The one thing you need in a Viennese coffeehouse is time,” says one café manager.“

„Not only did this book bring back fond memories of Kansas City coffeehouses for me, it gave me lots of good ideas for my own coffeehouse. I now feature some of the beverages from the book and a couple of the desserts and my regular customers love them. Especially good are the Westport Classic Cup Scones, Pumpkin Brownies, and the shortbread.“
