Coffee is believed to have made its way to South Italy sometime in the 1600s, growing to become a time-honored tradition and ritual.
Caffé sospeso can be translated as meaning a 'suspended' or 'pending' coffee, where patrons pay for two coffees, but only receive one.
The caffé sospeso concept was thought to have been born in 1860 at Cafe Gambrinus, where working-class patrons would pay for an extra coffee.
Caffé Sospeso Day was created in 2010, raising awareness about this beautiful tradition of social solidarity and helping those less fortunate.
