My host family is appalled by 1) the amount of coffee I drink and 2) how horrible my Spanish can get if I don't have enough coffee.
Tu Pana Tu Cafe is there for me when the afternoon grogginess and pangs of headaches arrive.
In addition to a wide range of coffees, the shop also offers a number of teas and specialty tea drinks. This also appears to be the neighborhood spot to purchase a fresh loaf of bread for the day - many patrons come and go throughout the day to purchase una barra gallega. (This bread is like heaven on earth.)
My cafe solo is always excellent - it is smooth and robust, without any bitterness or odd aftertaste. When I have my coffee to stay, instead of receiving the customary complimentary dried-out cookie, I receive a miniature pastry. These pastries are decadent, to say the least. My favorite (so far) has been the "elephant ear" - the flaky pastry drenched in a coating of honey.
Each cafe solo constitutes the most utilitarian 1.05 euro I have ever spent. read more
