This is one of those classic examples of where you'd expect some overpriced, foul-quality espresso stand in the U.S. - given its tourist-friendly proximity to the entrance of the Porto Sé (cathedral). However, in Portugal it's just the opposite experience. Run by an owner who wants to be a fisherman full-time (he helps pay for his 'habit' by running this place), this small café serves epsresso from a two-group Brasilia Portofino. For 0,60€, you get an espresso with a rich, thick, deep brown crema, a decent body, and a richer flavor of cloves and some herbal notes. A typical pleasant surprise you find in random cafés in northern Portugal.
