That's very interesting! A modern equivalent could be the internet cafés, which of course were never social in the same sense, but charged by the hour.

I feel like I'm slighting the Dutch, who to be fair were also a little bit involved in early coffee culture, but they don't seem to get an article on en wiki.
Internet cafes were social once! I remember making an exciting group excursion to one to participate in some kind of debate over IRC. Pffft.
