Gran Caffè Cattedrale

The sis and I came here for a much needed pick me upper of some good coffee! Well, we really needed energy since the sis was in «shopping» mode and I’m not complaining since I benefited some new clothes from that mode as well (thanks sis!)
Anyway, we came of course, when there was a crowd… good thing that we learned from all the other trip books we owned, that if you want it to be quick and fast… then you have to stand and drink your coffee instead of seating down which will cause you quite a few euros… so take note fellow travelers reading this: Stand = Cheap, Sit = More Euros. Got it? :)
During that time… it was a combo of two women manning the bar… they were quite efficient and it just worked… I couldn’t help but wonder how they’ll school the baristas at Blue Bottle or some «chi chi coffee places» in the US. Those two women handled the crowed and yet, gave the sis and me and probably the rest of the customers at that time… some DARN GOOD lattes and cappuccinos! Oh and did I mention that they were friendly during all the craziness and commotion in their shop? Yes — yep… I was in awe.
Good view of the Duomo — it was quite surreal actually.
Seriously folks… take a moment and take in the beauty of the view and the people and those darn awesome, delicious coffee!!!
