Caffè sospeso
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A tradition in the cafés of Naples is to order a caffè sospeso – literally, a coffee "in suspense" – as a sign of your good fortune. When a sospeso is ordered, the customer pays for two coffees, but only receives one. That way, when a person who is homeless or otherwise down on their luck walks into the café, they can ask if there are any coffees held in suspense, and can have one courtesy of the first customer.
