Every weekday morning I get up bright and early and go to 5 Brothers (pictured) for the best coffee on the island served up by Pepe.  

I wait my turn as the early bird (before 6:30 official opening time) regulars troop in for their daily dose of caffeine. 

The regulars occupy the main bench next to the entrance and can be heard in their exuberant predawn chatter while I’m around the corner silently waiting my turn.  

Cafe’ con leche is strong coffee mixed with scalded milk in approximate equal amounts dosed with sugar. 

It’s an easy addiction, but to be honest my daily dose of those good old boys is even better :)
