- The History of Cofee House

The first record of a public place serving coffee dates back to 1475. Kiva Han was the name of the first coffee shop, located in the Turkish city of Constantinople (now Istanbul). Coffee was such an important item during that time period, that it was legal in Turkey for a woman to divorce her husband if he could not supply her with enough coffee. In Turkey, in the early 16th century, coffee houses played host to a form of satirical, political and social criticism called shadow theater of Turkish folklore.

The first coffee house opening up in Britain was in 1652. Though its popularity was growing in Europe, the idea arrived in England again from Turkey. An English merchant who dealt in Turkish goods (such as coffee) had two of his servants leave him, to go into business for themselves. "The Turk's Head" coffee house was born.

It was in an English coffee house that the word "tips" was first used for gratuities. A jar with a sign reading, "To Insure Prompt Service" sat on the counter. You put a coin in the jar to be served quickly. The British called their coffee houses, "penny universities" because that was the price for the coffee and the social upper-class of business-men were found there.
