Pub Skala Gropada In Trieste

16/03/2025: The coffee is good, carefully prepared and the turnout is proof of this. The products in general are of quality and of a very interesting level. The morning, unfortunately, is characterized by a notable din, excessive noise produced by the voices of customers added to the noise of the cups and by anonymous and useless "good mornings" of circumstance shot in all directions directly from behind the counter. It is clear that the staff has been "trained" to say the greeting as soon as the door opens, but they have not been informed that greeting a customer in the "Christmas tree at a service station" mode is worth zero! And above all, a cup served while looking at the customer with even a hint of a smile (which depends a lot on whoever is serving behind the counter) is worth much more than a "good morning" said through gritted teeth while looking at the coffee machine. I've been frequenting Bar Fortunately, the same does not happen at Bar Vatta in Opicina (same ownership, but certainly a more advanced school) where the friendliness is spontaneous and sincere. Bar X please remember: a sincere smile is worth more than a hundred anonymous greetings.

13/03/2025: Vibrant atmosphere. Nice choice of food. Fresh made food. Staff is extremely friendly. We had ice cream and coffee. Coffee was standard ok. The ice cream a bit tooo sweet/greasy. It was so "heavy" that it simply did not melt.
