Mini-Ethnography Analysis Of Coffee House Culture
For my mini-ethnography project I will examen coffee house culture in Georgetown, Texas. Specifically I will compare the coffee house culture of Starbucks and Cianfrani’s.
In this environment I am an outsider of sorts with still wholly a participant. This atmosphere is an interesting one because, though there are regulars, the participant base is a largely rotating one. My previous experience with coffee shops is what you would expect. Though I do not commonly frequent them, I am familiar with the environment.
To ensure a more even playing field in comparing these two locations, I will visit each the same number of times and at the same times. Meaning I won’t visit Starbucks at 8:00 on a Thursday and CIanfrani’s at 11:00 on a Saturday.
