The diversity of Philadelphia and it’s tourists is best
observed by working full time at a Center City café in the summer.
People came into Capogiro from places that I have never
seen, only heard or read of , speaking with accents so beautiful and
interesting to listen to. American, Italian,
French, German, Asian, Middle Eastern, African, Australian, Austrian, Russian, and so
many others. These people from every corner of the world came into our café
from this summer’s heat looking for cool and refreshing gelato.
At Capogiro, I offer samples of multiple flavors to every
customer that comes in.
Rich flavors like Cioccolato Scuro, fun flavors like Single
Malt Scotch, traditional flavors like Pistacchio, and unexpected flavors like
Avocado. I get rich customers, fun
customers, traditional customers, and unexpected customers. One of the reasons I enjoy my job so much, is
that the samples I offer are different everyday and the people I serve are
different everyday. In other words,
there is always something new to taste, to try, to experience. I enjoy conveying those different experiences
to my customers. More interesting
though, is the samples that I receive back.
For every gelato sample I give, I receive a sample of
culture in return. I receive snatches of
native languages, glimpses of exotic fashions, understanding of generations,
and insights to ethics. But no matter
how diverse, every single person falls in love with Capogiro Gelato.
