Enjoying the view with a cup of Cortadito |
We are traveling from Oregon to St. Thomas for a wedding and after 16 hours and 3 plane rides later, we were hoping for a good cup of coffee as we waited for our last flight out of the Miami airport. Our layover was 3 hours. I approached a perky looking petite woman holding an very official clipboard, dressed in a red skirted American Airlines suit and seemed open for questions. “Is there a Starbucks nearby?” “Just 10 minutes by the sky train,” she said. She had a beautiful Italian accent and we struck up a friendly conversation when she offered that her favorite coffee is Cuban coffee and available just around the corner! I was up to try something new and so was David. “You have to go past the sit-down area and go to the coffee stand-up bar and ask for Cortadito“. Which we did and absolutely loved our tiny cup of cortadito that we ended up having 2! We also enjoyed Cuban pastries, savory and sweet.
