Coffee chains to take over from Pubs??

Could it be, could we be seeing the start of a coffee revolution?
On a recent trip to London, I couldn't help but notice the huge amount of Starbucks scattered around the city - not that I'm complaining, I'm a Starbucks nut!
All over the city of London, New York, Paris (and most cities worldwide now) big brand sellers such as Starbucks and Bewley's etc are tapping into the 'Coffee shop takeover'- seeing there is a market for late night coffee hangouts*!
*Coffee shops that open til 8/9/10 pm!!

Without doubt this is a great idea for more big coffee brands (even tea brands) to tap into the growing need for somewhere to go other than the pub. For all of us who want to go somewhere in the evenings for a coffee and a chat without being surrounded by booze fueled beer guzzlers, then this is for you.
