Café du Moulin is dedicated to technology, social media and cafe culture. Topic is mainly technology and social media though whilst I indulge in coffee and write from cafes (thus the cafe culture).
Café culture is a loose term that mainly focuses on refers to the behaviour of consuming coffee or tea within a café setting, which has become quite popular in most urban areas of the world over the later part of the 20th century. Most of the time coffee is used as a social lubricant as people set up meetings and casual dates within the coffee setting. However, cafe culture also describes what we here at Cafe du Moulin are all about.
Interestingly enough, although companies such as Starbucks are known for helping to contribute to café culture and countries such as France are renowned for their small delicate café shops, the first actual culture surrounding cafés originates back in Turkey during the 16th century. Much like today, during this time period cafés were used as social hubs as well as breeding grounds for intellectual thought and artistic pursuits.
During the 17th and 18th centuries coffeehouses became popular around London as meeting locations for socialites, writers, and artists who are also frequently at the centre of many commercial and political activities.
Today café is a broad term that can describe both a place where you can stop in and grab a coffee on the go or sit down for a leisurely slow gourmet coffee in a fresh, modern and crisply decorated environment. Cafes are much trendier on the whole now than they used to be but are still often social hubs of activities with people from all walks of life stopping in to discuss life and business over a soothing cup of hot coffee or tea.
