History

A small coffee and malt shop onn West 23rd Street[1] in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan,[2] where students from Empire State University would regularly frequent, making it the academia's unofficial hangout.[3] Peter Parker and his friends used to hang out here during their college days.

Back from a science expo, Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy reunited with their friends, as Aunt May came in and told them that she and Anna Watson were going to rent out an extra room in Anna's house.[4]

The next day, Peter came back to the Coffee Bean to see Gwen and Mary Jane Watson, but he had to leave soon to check Aunt May's new boarder.[5]

Some time later, Peter returned with Gwen to the ever-popular Coffee Bean to see their friends, but, as the financial woes got the better of him, causing him to snap at another one of Flash's harmless flirtations towards Gwen, he stormed out of the going away party.[6]

Notes

  • The Coffee Bean is decorated with framed posters, including one comparing movie director Woody Allen to a hobbit and another promoting "Fu Manchu for mayor."[7] On Earth-616, Fu Manchu is a real supervillain, but is considered a fictional character by most of the population.[8] The poster is a reference to advertisements that were printed and distributed in New York City for the 1965 film The Face of Fu Manchu, released during the 1965 mayoral election.

Trivia

  • The Coffee Bean is distinguished because the furniture squeaks and the air smells of caffeine.[3]
