Cafe Tomaselli

Bara and I both wanted to stop here because it was the oldest coffee house around. It was beautiful. And I had read that they had a really good breakfast and I was Jonesing for some eggs and ham.

So I ordered the biggest breakfast they had but they had a coffee called the melange. Which I wanted to switch for cappuccino decaf of course. Come to find out days later that basically is a cappuccino.

Anyway, our waiter, no problem I’ve got you. My coffee comes borrows. Breakfast comes a basket with a croissant and a Kaiser roll. I told Bara to eat because I didn’t want her food to get cold. And I waited and I waited and I waited some more. Bara had long since finished and we were ready to head on to get our day going.

I was unsure if I just ordered incorrectly or possibly he misunderstood me, but Bara assured me I did order the big breakfast with a decaf cappuccino.

The waiter comes over so we can pay our check. He’s been busy with a huge table for the last 30 minutes so we just enjoyed our coffee and had a good laugh. I explained to him I did not get my breakfast and he assured me that I had. I would’ve remembered eating all that food. And he placed the order incorrectly. Said it was his fault. He was very sorry. Bara and I laughed about that all day long. And I mean all day long.

I got a free cappuccino and a croissant out of it so I actually had a European breakfast.Read more
