It has been a long time since I last visited a cafe for the sole purpose of paying for a cup of coffee. I always thought that it is a waste of money to pay someone to serve coffee / latte / cappuccino / whatever when I can probably get something twice the amount at half the price (and twice as unhealthy).
But what I find most interesting is the social benefit of such occasion. Having a drink with friends over a cup of coffee is never really about that cup of coffee. In fact, it probably has nothing to do with drinking at all. It's about being in an environment that promotes interaction among people.
Seeing friends chit chat, laugh, talk about life, gossiping, etc. is worth a whole more than the price of the coffee. Of course, a good cup of coffee at a scenic location certain helps.
I still think the coffee cost too much, but with the right company, it is all worth it.
