Irish coffee is a drink named after coffee, which is actually a cocktail, and there is a romantic story behind Irish coffee. It is said to be a cocktail specially prepared by a bartender who works at Dublin Airport in Ireland for her favorite stewardess. Near Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, there is a bar that sells the first cup of Irish coffee in the United States, becoming the origin of American-Irish coffee and sweeping the unique blending storm across the United States, and this bar is the Buena Vista Cafe that we came to on that day.

Buena Vista Cafe is already a bar, and its owner, Jack Koeppler, bet with Stanton Delaplane, a friend of San Francisco's travel writer, that the Irish coffee he once drank at Shannon Airport in Ireland would be recreated in San Francisco. After years of experimentation, it was finally developed in 1952, so Buena Vista has become a famous restaurant that many travelers never forget to visit when they come to Fisherman's Wharf.

We started from Jiuzhuhua Lane on foot and followed the Leavenworth St. Come to the fisherman's wharf and follow the clues to find the bar. Like most buildings in San Francisco, Buena Vista Cafe stands in the corner of San Francisco Bay as early as the early 20th century. It was a hotel before 1916, and the landlord changed the ground floor to a bar, called Buena Vista, which means "Good View" in Spanish. From then on, Buena Vista provided drinks to fishermen and employees of nearby canneries until the advent of Irish coffee in 1952. And inject new life into this old bar. The recipe for this cup of Irish coffee has been in use to this day, showing the boss and bartenders' insistence on taste.

In addition to selling drinks, Buena Vista also serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Business is quite good. As soon as you open the door, you can see a large crowd of people. Every table is filled with people who meet their relatives and friends for breakfast in the early morning of the holiday. Laughter and chat reverberate in the small store.

Buena Vista Cafe, whether decorated or dressed by a bartender, makes people feel as if the time here stayed in the middle of the last century, full of nostalgia. My other half and I sat at the bar and watched the elderly bartender skillfully prepare drinks for the guests. The gorgeous gestures and smooth steps really dumbfounded.

As a matter of course, I ordered a cup of Irish coffee and sipped the limited taste of this adult. After one sip, the aroma of whisky mingled with the mellow of coffee in the mouth. Because of the addition of square sugar, the bitterness and sweetness staggered on the tip of the tongue, not to mention the smooth fresh cream. This cup of Irish coffee is the finishing touch, diluting the impact of coffee and whiskey. This is my first experience of Irish coffee, but fortunately it is so beautiful.

The male bartender named Larry Nalon seems to have served Buena Vista Cafe for many years, and he can often be seen on the store's website. On this day, he also served us, through his skillful hands, let us see the handsome and smooth Irish coffee, that beautiful posture seems to be enough to make us look forward to the whole day.

And how on earth does Buena Vista Cafe make Irish coffee? Pour hot water into an empty cup and warm cup, then pour coffee to 3 candies and 4 fulls. add two cubes of sugar, stir until the cube sugar disappears, add a cup of Irish Whiskey, and finally add whipped cream as high as the edge of the cup. When the clatter-a cup of hot Irish coffee comes out, remember to drink it while it is hot to have the best flavor.

Beuna Vista Cafe can sell more than 2000 cups of Irish coffee a day to see how popular it is with locals and tourists, so don't forget to drop by when you come to San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf.
