Unfortunately, I did not write up a detailed review — largely because I did not think it was worthy of one. But did I note in my travel journal, “Caffè Florian: I got a very lame café (€5) served with water.” Even the Caffé del Doge near the touristy Rialto Bridge would have been acceptable. But Caffè Florian? It is the sort of place where American and German tourists pay top dollar to fall in love with the illusion that they are enjoying the best espresso available in Italy.

What better time to forage for espresso? Last week I reported that Caffé del Doge opens in Palo Alto, and this morning I decided to pay a visit.

They've existed since 2003. The fact that you didn't find them doesn't mean they don't exist. Many hotels, restaurants, cafes, and store carry Caffe del Doge brands, but the quality of what you drink is really in the hands of people that prepare the coffee. In order to really grasp understand the quality of the coffee you are better left to do so at the Caffe del Doge cafes.
