Typical Neapolitan coffee is tasty, affordable and excellently crafted. Crowds fill neighborhood caffès day and night, quickly drinking small cups of espresso laced with copious amounts of sugar. And who can blame them? A simple cup of coffee in Naples rarely costs over a euro. In fact, most Naples caffès only charge 90 cents for a perfectly brewed cup of espresso. Maybe this is why locals drink three to four cups throughout the day.
Certain destinations have distinct coffee cultures. Such is the case with Cuban coffee and Vietnamese egg coffee. The same goes for Neapolitan coffee. It’s a unique experience to drink coffee in Naples. Most caffès don’t have seats but instead serve coffee to patrons who stand at the bar, busily sipping their coffee before hurrying to their next destination.
