연말에 혼자 여행 중 크리스마스날 문 열은 곳이 없었어요. 그 중 이 카페는 동네사람들이 삼삼오오 오며 북적이는 곳이였는데, 외국인 혼자 들어가니까 시선집중 됐었어요... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 연세가 있으신 남자 사장님께서 안내를 해주셨고 맛있는 커피를 만들어주셨어요. 자리가 없어서 두리번거리자 바에 앉아계시던 아저씨가 이제 갈거라고 앉으라고 의자도 내어주셨네요 :) 포르투 사람들은 모두가 따듯해요. 사장님 혼자 일하시면서 샌드위치랑 커피를 만드시면서 계산도 하셔요. 손이 아주 빠르고 대단하신 분 입니다. 덕분에 맛있는 커피를 맛보고 갑니다. 건강하세요!
