Espresso in a plastic cup

Drop me anywhere in Prague and within five minutes I will find a café where you can find a nice cake or a pudding or you know, something sweet to go with your coffee. I realise now that we are café-lovers. And by we I mean all Europe I guess.

A friend of mine and myself met in the afternoon the other day, we ate something and later we wanted to get a cup of coffee and something sweet. What the heck! You can't find a nice petit café in downtown Montréal. You have all those coffee chains round every corner, sometimes next door to each other, but no proper café anywhere. 

Today I needed some adrenaline (meaning sugar), so I ordered a tarte au chocolat et un petit espresso and look what I get. An espresso in a paper cup. What an abomination! Where are all your manners, people?!

I haven't felt homesick yet. Now I do! I think the whole coffee culture is very different in Europe, at least where I come from. Now, this will have to have a follow-up. I am guessing I might find some cafés in the Little Italy. Or at least I hope. It says Italy, there must be good coffee there? How would all the Italians survive here, right?
