Café do Canto - Portuguese Café

portuguese coffee culture runs strong here, and the galão is the place to start. lighter and milkier than a latte but with a specific sweetness that comes from how it's built, it's the kind of drink that changes how you think about espresso-based coffee. café do canto sits on n 33rd st in the east side of san jose, a part of the city that doesn't get enough credit for what it actually offers day to day. the regulars here are loyal in the way that only happens when a place consistently gets it right, not occasionally. if you're coming in the morning, give yourself enough time to actually sit. the galão on its own is reason enough.
