Luckily, it wasn't me who always had to go get all of the coffee because the employees always seem annoyed by my presence or the presence of a long list of coffees to make. (Italians don't always like foreigners, especially English speaking ones). When time allows, I like to meet my friends and go here before work, where I am barely even looked at and never greeted with a "buongiorno" "ciao" nothing, when everyone around me is greeted kindly AND with a smile (which is rare for some employees here). Not only does it get crowded, but when you feel completely unwelcome after years of business, then all want to come back here fades quickly. I will not be giving them my business anymore.
