While in Australia they learned all about coffee and different techniques, recipes, and types. This little shop had coffees I had never dreamed of. There is not enough time here to sample them all, ashame....
While this is not the caffe shop I am referring to, it is right across the way and just a great example of the quaintness of the area.
I did try expresso over vanilla ice cream, a Compano which is expresso, with some type of serious dessert cream and a touch of spice, and a milk bar, which is steamed milk with flavoring, mine being honey and Almond. My daughter tried various ones also, including an expresso with rose water, straight up.Caffe is a serious business here, there are different ones all over, each with their own personality and crowd following. One thing, I am still not used to is that they all have rows of liquor, to add to the coffee, and smoking is most often allowed, although it seems to the side and in moderation, unless outside.
They are most often family or group oriented and many do business in some of these places.
