There’s this amazing little Italian Cafe by my house, and this morning on my way home from from seeing Greece v South Korea, I stopped by to get breakfast. I’m stuck behind 3 cars in a row, waiting to turn into the parking lot. 3 dudes hop out the car and scurry inside. I walk in soon after and see them standing at the counter. Before I even get to order, the owner of the cafe makes them 3 espressos, the 3 guys chit chat for about a minute or so, down the coffee and leave. Is that how it always is with Italians and their coffee? Its quite different with Greeks and their frappes. We sit and chill for hours with our frappe or our elliniko cafe.. now that I think of it, they prolly do the same when drinking cappuchino, right? Even so, it just seemed crazy to me to walk in, down a coffee and walk out.
