Sant' Eustachio founded in 1938 is for many the best coffee shop in Rome. Not only is it a coffee shop, but the caffè roasts its own beans allowing unique and exquisite blends to be produced right on the spot. The caffè has even branched out into packaging this rich flavor of coffee into chocolates, liqueurs and other delightful sweets. These can make the perfect gift for friends back home, who we are sure will more so appreciate these, instead of a crudely made magnet of the Colosseum.

Typically British even in name Babington's Tea House located at the base of the Spanish Steps, is the perfect place for those who can't forgo their usual cup, whilst on vacation. Italy is not a land of tea drinkers. As you would have supposed by now, coffee is the national beverage. However Babington's has been the gold standard for tea in Rome since 1893.
Even though Italy does not grow its own beans, it is a land of hardened coffee drinkers. The daily rhythm of life in Rome is centered around this potent little brew, and the absence of large franchises like Starbucks is notable. Caffe' Tazza D'Oro is the quintessential Roman bar. Located two steps from the Pantheon this bar hand roasts its premiere coffee beans from around the world, creating superior and exotic blends which you would be hardpressed to find elsewhere.
