Coffee House sprang up all over Europe during the 1970s...most were filled with drafted soldiers....

SGM Private RallyPoint Member Ah, for the old days. I never made it to Europe while I was in the military in the 70’s, but did make it to Okinawa. However, I didn’t drink coffee back then, so didn’t pay much attention to it’s popularity.
