How to order in Seychelles
Coffee culture is not one thing. In some places the espresso bar is a standing ritual; in others the coffee arrives after a long meal or is replaced entirely by tea. Use these rules of thumb:
- Order at the bar if the coffee is cheap and the queue is local. Sit-down service often adds a cover charge.
- Ask about sugar before the drink is made. Sweetness is a default in many tea and juice traditions, not an optional extra.
- Ask about ice if you are sensitive to cold drinks or worried about water quality; most places will serve it without.
- Check the alcohol if you avoid it. No indexed drink carries an alcohol tag, but always confirm if the menu is unclear.
