Quality espresso?

Ok. I did a board search,& found this :disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2474599&highlight=espresso

Does the Italy showcase not have any authentic Italian espresso drinks? I saw the stands mentioned in the above thread... but didn't try them. Was hoping to find something in Italy... but the posts on here don't seem too optimistic.

On Allears.net, they list a Tutto Italia kiosk at Italy with espresso. Near their restaurant, in the courtyard. Funny, I have never noticed it.

Last October, I had a very good, authentic-style Moorish espresso with cinnamon and nutmeg at Morocco's Tangerine Cafe CS.

Thank you!

I didn't even look around Morocco much -- when we went to Epcot, we went through the UK, some of Italy, Japan... and pretty much glossed over the other showcases. It's definitely on my list to spend a little more time in each one this time.

Kinda surprises me that Morocco would have really good espresso. I guess I just don't know much about it!

I think the history of coffee in all areas surrounding the Mediterranean is a very long one.

There are lots of people who post, who say a CS meal at Tangierine Cafe is one of the best at WDW. A very good value if you have free dining. People love the Shawarma Platters, which can be chicken or lamb, or combo of both.

They also make a Moroccan mint tea that is delicious, especially iced.

We are on the DDP where you get 1 snack, 1 TS and 1 QS a day, is that what you mean?

And you had me at mint tea....That and the coffee is enough reason for me!

I think I need to look into this place. I don't believe I've tried Moroccan food yet. My DH is all about tying new things. I am... but am picky a LOT of the time.

It's a lot of food on the plate. You and DH could share one order, in case you taste it and it is outside your comfort zone. I think the dessert you get on the DDP is Baklava, which you might know from Greek food. The mint tea and coffee should be something you would enjoy. Good eating!
