This exhibition explores public and private coffee consumption, with a particular focus on developments in Salzburg. Over the past few centuries, Salzburg’s cafés—as social hubs—have undergone repeated transformations, adapting to changing needs. A café was rarely just a coffeehouse; it was also a meeting place for a wide variety of social groups and, in the evenings, often a dance hall or wine bar. Just as the venue changed, so did drinking customs, and with them the tableware that was used and the ways in which coffee was prepared. Over the past 322 years, cafés in Salzburg have repeatedly faced new trends, behaviors, or crises—including during the COVID-19 pandemic. Closures, altered hours, and new offerings were the result. Coffee-to-go became even more popular, and despite the challenges, new cafés were able to open! The numerous new coffee roasteries opening in Salzburg represent a new culture of enjoyment. Sustainability and fair working conditions in coffee production are important to many—whether in a café or at home. As long as the people of Salzburg consider visiting a coffeehouse to be part of their lives, the cafés will continue to evolve alongside them!
