| - let's just start by saying that just because i'm italian doesn't make me a coffee expert... BUT it helps!! i've drank so many espressos in my life at so many places that my palate is a bit critical!!
please never drink espresso where they write eXpresso (clue #1 !!!)
i stumbled on Pourquoi Pas while parking right in front of it, so after my lunch i decided to make a stop and try their coffee. i was pleasantly surprised just by the place itself, very small nothing fancy, great smell, a good ol' coffee shop
don't know the names of the 2 guys, but they are just great and serviceable.
being served a shot of mineral water to rince your palate is a great way to impress me (not all good places in Italy even do this anymore!!)
the SHORT espresso was fantastic: nice nose of hazelnut? kinda biscotti type, nice ring of «schiuma» (little foam on top) and the taste was to my liking: a bit of acidity (wich some people might not like) and well balanced on the intensity.
can't talk about the other coffees they offer 'cause i'm an espresso man, but i can't imagine how they would go wrong, since they seem so professional with their approach.
the prices of coffees are really reasonable not overpriced at all
the only reason i did not give them 5 stars is because of their food prices, maybe it's just me and all the other places do it, but 1,50$ for a small cookie (as good has it might be) is way too much for me.
to all TH and Starbuck lovers, continue to drink ur diluated bad water/coffee!!
i know it's not possible, but we start by rincing our palate with mineral water, we could finish by rincing our cup with... GRAPPA!!!
Salute
