This is not about the economic crisis in any way. The magazine just put that in to get a bit of the feeling of this being something related to now.
This is about a culture of young people that is changing. I spent a lot of time in Paris during the summers, and the young french people are no longer really Cafe people. When you think Cafe, you think of sitting down to relax and socialize and talk, but nowadays, who does that anymore?
The cafes are run by unfirable waiters who are no fun. The french cafe business seems the same as it always has been, but times them are changing. The business needs to adapt to the changes, and it's not really doing so.
The Cafes in Berlin are WAY more comfortable to chill out at than the french Cafes, because they offer a bit more than just a wooden table and a cup of coffee.
And of course, the internet means that you don't need to meet people to catch-up anymore, you can just send them a message.
Cafes are not entertainment for young people anymore. They need to bring back the entertainment factor.
