Located in Saratoga Springs, New York, Caffè Lena is the oldest continually running coffee house in the United States.[1] Founded in 1960 by William and Lena Spencer (née Nargi),[2] it claims to be the oldest folk-oriented coffee house, in the U.S.,[3] featuring acoustic concerts and cultural events showcasing folk music, traditional music, and singer-songwriters of a wide range, including artist Bob Dylan, who performed for two consecutive nights at the cafè in 1961, a year prior to the release of his debut album.[4]

During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020–2021, Caffè Lena began streaming live music on a donation based pay scale, featuring the music of folk musicians like Kate McDonnell and Natalie Haas.[5]

Since Lena Spencer's death on October 23, 1989 (she was born on January 4, 1923),[6] Caffè Lena has been a not-for-profit organization.
