Bica é também uma palavra para torneira, ou fonte (daí o nome do Bairro da Bica). É provavel que o nome bica venha daí, visto que o café cai da máquina como uma torneira.

I pointed and held up six fingers to show the number I wanted. The salesperson did not speak English and was clearly unhappy that I did not speak Portuguese. I paid for the order, left, and did not return for the rest of my trip. Most of the Portuguese are very pleasant and helpful people but I believe some do not care for foreigners.

There are two kinds of café that are also common in my area (only 40km away from Lisbon): Café escaldado, when you warm up the cup before pouring the coffee. Café em chávena gelada, typically during summer, when some places literally freeze the cups and then pour the coffee right into a really cold cup, so that the coffee becomes instantly cold but not watery because of the ice. Thanks for such a detailed article :) Great article, I’ll definitely share it! There are two kinds of café that are also common in my area (only 40km away from Lisbon):

MMHH the pastries (or bolo), I could just jump onto each one of them! Did you try the Swedish kanelsnurre while in Stockholm? :) When you guys come to Denmark, you need to try some Danish pastries as well. It is fab! REPLY: Hi Zara, you already found your way in here - welcome! I didn't have time to check out peoples webpages, hopefully soon, so I can get some inspiration. Gonna have a stopover at your home in a bit ;) Hope the thai soup worked miracles so your husband was on his feet the following day!! See you around, maybe in the Philippines? :P ahhhhh I need to remember this for when I swing by Portugal. MMHH the pastries (or bolo), I could just jump onto each one of them!

My only comment is that Cimbalino is a very rare term these days! I only know of it from researching coffee names in my early efforts to learn (it is named after the machine that makes it!). Either uma bica (Beba Isto Com Acúcar) or um café (normal ou cheio) are what we find here in Coimbra and north. Always "Café" in Porto. Abatenado is not always understood in Coimbra/north of, but the others are. If an abatenado is not right, then sometimes a meia de leite escura will fit the bill.
