It's where today's "quiet action" is-convivial coffee shops and laid-back cafs, much preferred to noisy bars and discos, especially then the settings are designed with as much panache as the ones that fill these inviting pages. 
Ninety-eight projects, some with floor plans, showcase both chic, contemporary looks and newly "old" traditional looks in coffee houses, up-scale food shops, and fun, theme-oriented cafs, with such evocative names as Second Cup, The Mill, Coffee Klatch, and Sacred Grounds. International in scope, examples are included from Latin America, Europe, the Pacific Rim, the United States, and Canada
