Antico Caffè Candia

This is the place! Sandwiches for lunch are delicious. Cappuccino before your tour - perfect. Such a great little cafe on the corner before a long day in the Vatican museums.

A lovely corner cafe with seating outside. This was our local cafe when staying in Rome and was always our first stop of the day. The friendly and helpful staff always welcomed us with a smile and didn't laugh when we tried to converse in Italian! Offering help and translation when required. Would highly recommend the chocolate croissant and a large cappuccino to start your day. Coffee was rich and smooth whilst the croissants were big, light and fluffy pastries, filled with sweet creamy fillings. Freshly made foccacia sandwiches were available and looked delicious however we never got the opportunity to try them.

This is a true local Italian café. During our stay in Rome, we started our mornings here, and it quickly became a favorite. I highly recommend the porchetta—it felt like they gave me a little extra each day as they saw me returning, which I truly appreciated. The espresso and cappuccino were high quality, and the pistachio cornetto was fresh and delicious. The service was excellent—attentive and welcoming. I highly recommend this place!

I love this coffee shop! It was located near to the property where I stayed during my visit. They serve lovely coffee and the pastries are to die for! The corneto (croissant) filled with creams were freshly made and tasted great! They also sell lovely sandwiches and all reasonably priced! The staff are hardworking and friendly too. I ended up going there 3 times in a row and already missing them. Thanks for making my coffee experience memorable. I certainly would come back! ☕❤️

I visited your cafe with my mom, and we absolutely loved it! Everything was amazing! I also want to mention how welcoming and helpful the staff members were. My mom still says it was one of the best service :) many thanks and warm greetings from Georgia!

Antico caffè was our favourite find in Rome! Their coffee was phenomenal, and their food honestly was the best we had in Rome. If you’re looking for an incredible breakfast, lunch or dessert you NEED to visit Antico caffè. The staff were so accommodating and very friendly. Ps try their pistachio croissants, they’re absolutely delicious. I cannot wait to come back when I visit Rome again!

This was the meeting spot for our Vatican Tour so we decided to arrive early and have breakfast. Pastries and cappuccino were delicious! Owner was so friendly, an overall great experience! Highly recommend!

It was a delight to have breakfast here every day before seeing the sights. Outstanding pastries, great coffee, nice terrace on a small local square. Don't miss out on it if you live close-by.
