	Culture: Kenneth Davids (editor of CoffeeReview) says this of coffee, “alcohol typically makes us want to eat, fight, make love, dance, and sleep, whereas coffee encourages us to think, talk, read, write, or work.” In the seventeenth century, English coffeehouses were called “penny universities,” the Turks called theirs “schools of the wise.” Since the beginning of the coffeehouse, it has been a breeding ground for art and intellect. Sadly, many cafes have abandoned that for the drive thru and tiny, crammed establishments designed for “in & out” traffic. Such cafes usually make customers feel unwelcomed and rushed. JavaCat-5 was designed with the original coffeehouse concept in mind. Each month we feature a different local artist. Artists have ranged from professionals, to college students, to elementary students and we’ve showcased glass pieces, sculptures, drawings, paintings, photography, digital art, and many other forms of art. Aside from that we feature poetry readings, live music, and ESU’s Socrates Café. We are part of our community: We participate in Emporia High School’s Band Card, Spartan Card, and Most Valuable Attitude Awards, Emporia State University’s Block Party and Socrates Café, Emporia Main Street’s Great American Flea Market and Annual Fundraising Auction, and Live in the Lot, along with other events and fundraisers.
