We began our coffee journey of the trip, guided by Robert and Tiffany, with Arabay Specialty Coffee.
Only four months ago, Robert got us interested in making espresso drinks at home. We completely geeked out under his guidance, learning to extract that elusive perfect espresso shot, and practicing foaming milk and making latte art.
Now, we followed Robert and Tiffany to sample the best espresso that Spain and France had to offer.
Our first stop was Arabay, a cute little coffee roaster shop in Madrid.

Phil ordered a cortado, Thanh tried a cafe bombon (too sweet, even for Thanh!), while Robert and Tiffany had filtered coffee.
We also found a Manteigara shop, selling Pasta de Natas, so we bought some to go with our coffee, for old time's sake. These pasta de natas were not as good as the same branded ones we had in Portugal.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Above average for most of us. Thanh ordered the wrong thing and did not like it.
