The bar tender served us chilled drinks on a warm summer’s night. We took it for granted. A shame. But hopefully we will get to experience this again, perhaps only in our...

Diodato served as a courier for Vienna and as an honour received the privilege of serving coffee as the only merchant in the city for 20 years. 15 years later, four Greek owned coffeehouses had the privilege to serve coffee.
