Faro - Caffè Specialty

We came to this café and were welcomed with such warmth, kindness and hospitality. There was such a wide selection, the food was great, and the coffee – absolutely top notch. The waiters really took care of us and were incredibly friendly, to the point that they even brought us a glass of water outside when we stepped out for a cigarette because it was so hot. I truly regret not coming here every single day while I was in town. I will definitely be back!!! P.S. The prices are great too!

Faro offers a delightful breakfast experience. The café greets you with the enticing aroma of fresh coffee and pastries. The breakfast menu is impressive, featuring the grilled cheese sandwich and fluffy mushroom omelet. Each dish is crafted for flavor and nutrition. The fresh pastries, particularly the flaky croissants and seasonal fruit tarts, are a must-try. The specialty coffee stands out, with a selection of beans brewed to perfection, whether you prefer espresso or cappuccino. With its warm ambiance, Faro is perfect for a relaxing morning or catching up with friends. It’s a must-visit for anyone seeking delicious and healthy breakfast options in Rome. Highly recommended!

nice bakery / coffee place. the prices of the pastries were quite pricey (€3 - €5) tho it makes sense due to the nice/touristy location. the pastries looks aesthetically appealing and had good quality. tho they were a bit too sweet for my liking. the staffs were nice and professional. definitely a place to revisit (I’ll try their coffees next time) !

WE LOVE FARO! we loved it so much we came 3 times! this coffee shop is genuinely one of THE BEST coffee shops I’ve ever been to! everything from the food, the service and the excellent coffee selection makes this place a must stop in Rome! I work as a barista and I’m always on the hunt for good specialty coffee! And Faro delivered! They have different beans they change out each day so you can try different coffees! They also have their regular beans for espresso and other drinks but we stuck with trying different specialty coffees and each one was so different and made our experience so rememberable! When we came the third time multiple waiters remembered us which we thought was so sweet! Our waiter Alessandro (sorry if I spelled his name wrong 😬) was AMAZING! He was one of the kindest waiters I’ve ever had! Finally the food… SO FREAKING GOOD! The first visit we came at lunch and had one of our favorite meals from the whole trip, their brunch is also outstanding! Ok I think I’ve said enough…if you are in Rome you NEED to try Faro, it was really THAT GOOD!

We came here to have breakfast on a Sunday as it was near our hotel. We were given a table outside straight away. It was busy with other tourists but mostly locals. I tried the maritozzo, it was my first time trying it and I thought it was going to be heavier, but it was fluffy, light and delicious. I also shared the special pain suisse and it was incredible!! So many flavours, crispy, lovely filling inside! To drink, I had an iced matcha latte and I was pleasantly surprised. Most places that offer matcha latte these days give a disappointing drink that only tastes like milk, but you could taste the matcha here. On top of food and drinks being delicious, our server, Matteo, was just outstanding!! He was extremely friendly and helpful, it made our experience even better. Can't recommend this place enough!

Highly recommend this cafe for a quick breakfast. With a lovely range of fresh baked goods and hardy dishes it’s perfect. The staff were very friendly and helpful with the menu. They also were great with accommodating our larger group. Amazing coffee and a great selection of pastries. The bread is baked in house and is so delicious. The chicken is sourced from a local farm and all the ingredients are local and fresh. I highly recommend getting a sandwich from the Brunch menu . The cream pastry is also amazing.

I came for lunch in Faro without a reservation and was incredibly lucky to get a spot. I had the Finca El Jardín (Colombia, honey process)—the lovely waitress mentioned it reminded her of M&Ms, and I could totally see why. For me, it was a bold cup with a nutty, chocolatey start and a fresh, slightly zesty finish. I ordered the pasta with mussels but got upgraded to the gnocchi instead—and it was an absolute delight, every bite full of flavor and perfectly balanced.

The best coffee in Italy. Amazing local roaster with tremendous single origin offerings. After 10 days of traditional Italian coffee espresso, Faro / Aliena Roasters was such a welcome taste of specialty coffee. Batch brew for the win.

As a coffee lover from the states who travels for coffee this is a must go for Rome. I've been craving a pour over my entire time in Rome for 3 days and this has been the only place that really served it along with my American friend who needed a regular iced latte. (You won't find iced latte in a lot of places as ice is scarce and everything needs to be made with filtered water) they have free water here because all their water is filtered. We got our pastries first which was AMAZING we loved both the fruit tart and the maritozzi was the best I had here because it wasn't too sweet and the milk cream was just so fresh it was almost like eating a cloud. Absolutely a must eat! In terms of brunch we ordered two scrambled egg dishes and I LOVE European style eggs so super wet and yummy on low heat. I preferred the mushroom one over the sausage even though I'm not the biggest mushroom fan, the Parmegiano reggiano was very very fresh and tasty. We got coffee after which is supposed to be the main event anyway and I really enjoyed the Ethiopia from Aliena Roasters. The single origin espresso was okay. Slightly acidic but then again we went a little early to avoid long lines at 8am so they might be still working through their espresso pull ratio. It was busy even at 8am but by 9/10am everyone was lining out the door for a good hour. The inside of the cafe is simple and clean and fits a good amount of people so I think it's just that most people like to take their time chatting and drinking their cup of coffee so it will take a while to get in. Overall this is a must travel to if you're a coffee lover! If you need a good pour over I definitely recommend visiting.

This caffé is wonderful! The staff is friendly and helpful. The pricing is average. The food was so good and tasted really fresh. It definitely gives you caffé vibes, and I like that it's a "no laptop" spot, that way people can come and go in a timely manner.

Stopped by this spot for one last meal on the way out of Rome. Found this to be well reviewed on other platforms, so had to check it out! We were greeted by a very nice woman who was acting as a host and a server. She noted it would be a short wait, added our name to the list, and we had a great outdoor seat within a few minutes. I don't recall her name, though she had a lot of tattoos, including a completely filled in sleeve. She was very friendly and helped make our experience even better! There was another gentleman working as a server who helped take our order. He was very informative regarding the coffee options specifically, explaining the difference in taste between the various roasts. This was helpful in making sure we get the best coffee with the right amount of acidity for our liking! The breakfast options all sounded tasty, and they even had a special Liberation Day Breakfast to celebrate the Liberation Day holiday (April 25). *FOOD* -Toast with "Pork&Roll" ham and mozzarella cheese "Az. Agricola Le Starze" (10 Euro) - This sandwich was incredible! The bread was perfectly toasted and flaky, and there was a perfect combo of filling. -Liberation Day Breakfast - Spaghetti frittata with butter and Parmigiano cheese, raw ham, salami, traditional "Vignarola" (peas, artichokes, broad beans) and homemade bread (16 Euro) - This was quite a plate! Since it was Liberation Day, we felt it necessary to try this dish. Everything was full of flavor and it was a unique breakfast for sure! The ambiance was that of a fast paced coffee shop that was also offering to-go orders, and lots of pastries options. It wasn't too loud, and had an overall great vibe. I did notice the pastries were selling out, so make sure to get there early if that's what you're after! Overall this was a favorite meal in Italy! The coffee was high quality and fresh, and the food was all delicious! They even provided a complimentary glass of freshly squeezed OJ, which we VERY much enjoyed! Highly recommended checking this spot out if you're looking for a great experience and even better food and coffee! Thanks again to the friendly and awesome staff!! More on IG & TikTok: @bbnem.food
