This episode takes you on a short journey around the world looking for the first coffeehouses. In 1675 the first coffeehouse opens in Boston, and leads to a circuitous journey to how we seek and find the cafe that matches each of our definition of what a cafe should be. 

This episode serves as an introduction to future episodes on today's independent cafes. The reason for the focus is to uncover how an owner can choose to, or not to make their place from a simple community center, to a busy and growing business. We will hear how various owners define success and sustainability.
