Antonio Monica is the owner of Caffetteria Dantonio and was seen stood behind his stall 'looking lost'
Antonio Monica has been the owner of Caffetteria Dantonio, which is situated in a stand in the Metquarter, since 2005. However, despite a true love for his job the dad said it is becoming increasingly difficult to compete with the bigger coffee chains.
"It's hard competing for business nowadays there is alot of competition especially when Costa is facing you. Before I left he shouted ciao bella girl...scouse Italian.Following the post Antonio said he wants to thank the customer and "offer her a free coffee" after what has been a hard time for his business.
"But I am grateful to those who regularly come. They have really helped and supported me and without them I would not still be here.” He said: “It is not stressful when you enjoy your job. I love to see my customers happy and the smile on their face when I give them a coffee. I teach people but they do not have the same passion as me. People think it's bad working for customers but it is not.Antonio said he has had a passion for coffee for "forever" - a passion he takes home to his 11-year-old son.
But, despite this and a rise in rent due to the current climate, he is so thankful to his loyal customers.“My customers are like my family and part of my coffee shop. When one of my customers was shivering and not well I brought a blanket for her.
