Best coffee spots in Rome
Sant'Eustachio Il Caffè
Legendary since 1938, this cafe serves Rome's most debated espresso — pre-sweetened and impossibly creamy. The gran caffè is their signature. The recipe is a secret and the queue is always long.
Tazza d'Oro
Just off the Pantheon, this cafe does the best granita di caffè in Rome — iced coffee topped with whipped cream. The espresso is strong and the art-deco signage is perfectly retro.
Sciascia Caffè 1919
A neighbourhood institution in Prati near the Vatican. The coffee is excellent but the caffe con la cremina (espresso with a cream float) is the move. Old-fashioned Roman cafe culture at its best.
Antico Caffè Greco
Rome's oldest cafe (1760) on Via dei Condotti near the Spanish Steps. Keats, Byron, and Goethe drank here. The frescoed rooms and marble tables make it a museum you can drink espresso in.
Faro - Luminaries of Coffee
Rome's best specialty coffee in a sleek space near Porta Pia. The pour-overs and the espresso are world-class. If you've been disappointed by tourist-area coffee, this is the antidote.
Roscioli Caffè
The cafe arm of the famous restaurant, serving excellent pastries and coffee. The maritozzo con panna (cream-filled bun) is Rome's classic breakfast pastry done to perfection.
