Sant' Eustachio Caffè

We had a wonderful experience at Sant’Eustachio Café! The coffee was absolutely great; especially the Iris coffee wt wisky and the cappuccino, both perfectly made and full of flavor❤️ The cashier was a very respectful gentleman, and the waiters were attentive, always asking if we needed anything else👏🏻 The friendly service truly made the visit special☃️ We also bought some coffee beans and capsules to take back home, the aroma alone reminds us of Italy!❤️🇮🇹 Definitely a must visit café in Rome for any coffee lover!

A classic Roman caffe with adaptations for us foreigners. They are very happy to guide you through the many choices you have from a simple caffe espresso that you drink at the bar to a shakerato, espresso with ice, shaken until cold and frothy. A lovely treat on a hot day. Expect your caffe con zucchero (with sugar), unless you ask for it otherwise. As with any new country, ask how they do things, or watch and learn. Here they order at the counter and then you give your receipt to the baristas who will make it for you. Then you can drink it there or take it outside, to a table or if you ordered togo - keep a walking! They have nice snacks and treats as well, with patio seating and menus in English and Italian.

For me this is the best espresso in Rome. I tried 10 espresso's in this Rome visit and this one was the best espresso!! Do not order food or some tourist tricky drinks, only order Cafe which is single espresso, you'll thanks me. After drinking it , I ordered another one and bought their beans to drink at home. I know that this is a matter of taste, but for me, this is numero uno Espresso in Rome.

A wonderful café experience in Rome. The coffee was excellent and perfectly prepared, and the pastry was fresh and delicious. The service was truly outstanding — very friendly, welcoming, and professional. The outdoor seating area is beautiful and relaxing, especially with the charming Roman streets around. A perfect place to enjoy coffee and unwind. Highly recommended!

We bought the millefoglie and sfogliatelle, and both of them were pretty good. The millefoglie is very crisp, but the only part I don’t like is that the cream is too sweet. The sfogliatelle is also not bad, but not as impressive as the millefoglie. Overall, it’s a nice place to buy some sweet treats while visiting this area.

The coffee is great but overpriced. You can get the same quality in many other coffee shops. The croissant is bad but the canoli was good. There was 2 waiters for the people eating there; one is nice and the other is rude. We weren't finished drinking but the rude waiter gave us the bill without us asking. It wasn't even that full so I dont understand the rush. We've been to busier places but never rushed to pay. Also to pay with card, we had to wait in the line with everyone else who was there to grab something to go.

Sant' Eustachio serves an absolutely great cappuccino—smooth, rich, and perfectly prepared. I also tried the pistachio cannoli; it was fine, but the coffee is the star. I will definitely be back soon to sample more of their treats.

We visited this great place that instantly became one of our favorites. The coffee was perfectly balanced, rich in flavor, and served with great attention to detail. The desserts were equally impressive—fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The place had a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made the whole experience even better. It’s definitely a spot we’d love to return to

It was 7:20pm and we happen to walk past by this coffee shop. I had it on our itinerary, so we decided another cup of caffeine wouldn't hurt...gotta try them all! The coffee shop was full of store goodies, from coffee beans, branded accessories, sweets, and pastries. We opted to have our coffee at the bar and got the Gran Caffe', their specialty espresso. I really enjoyed how creamy it was, it made the espresso very tasty and gave a great lasting impression. I kind of regret not getting some souvenirs, so I will definitely have to come back next time!

Absolutely worth the hype. Order your drinks and food at the cash register, bring your receipt to the bar, and finish your coffee and pastry standing. We had a delicious pistachio cornetto, fruit danish, espresso, and cappuccino this morning. Be aware all their coffee comes with sugar, you need to ask for it to not be with sugar (they have signs posted). This was so good though that we will be returning before ending our trip in Roma. Great ambiance, cute souvenirs/food to bring home, very nice people.

The presentation was lovely. The taste was ok. Service was kind and helpful. Best item was the plain latte.

We got the Ice Moka, Monachella (espresso and chocolate) and a couple of croissants. Both drinks were incredible - beautifully presented and perfect mix of coffee and chocolate. They only have outdoor seating which is great for people watching. There was only 1 server who was seating, taking and serving orders. He was doing a fantastic job of managing everything but I felt a little bad for him because of how much workload he has.

Although this cafe may look/feel like a tourist trap, it's really a great spot for good caffeine. We've been here multiple times over multiple years and the quality of the coffee has remained the same. The espresso is velvety smooth - easy to down multiple! They have an array of other drinks which are all very good. You can take away or sit down and order in the outside area. You will see both tourists and locals alike equally frequent.

This is an excellent coffee shop. We've had it everyday that we've been in Rome. We can order a Cappuccino with sugar and then stand at the bar counter and enjoy it hot and then go off on our way. No tips mandatory or service charge and no hassles! Just delicious coffee. Also the baristas are very friendly and they recognized us after we came in 3 days in a row :P

Cute outdoor cafe and excellent selection of cappuccinos and baked goods. Inside the cafe is an abundance of gifts (coffee beans, candy, cups, etc.) that are great ideas for gifts to bring back home. There is only one server who is very helpful if you need some recommendations.

A staple espresso bar for a reason. Sant' Eustachio is always packed but the line moves quick and it's well worth the short wait. I tried the cappuccino and it was the best I had in Rome. Also got some coffee to bring home (excited to try) and the most lovely dark chocolate candies filled with coffee. Recommend checking this out.

This is where you can get superb coffee to-go in Roma! No surprise that Americans are lined up here and then you will find them strolling the Pantheon neighborhood with the iconic yellow cups in hand. I unabashedly am one of them as I firmly believe one of life's little pleasures is walking with a hot cup of coffee on a chilly day, an iced cold brew on a warm day. But it's also utterly irresistible to linger like a European at one of the tables outside. If you choose to do this, you will pay a little bit more as you are ordering from a waiter and not standing in line and with that, comes a coperto. I gladly pay it when I need to take a break from walking. Our waiter was stern and elegant. I had spied a vegan pastry on the menu but the pastries are not all available every day, as he kindly but sternly informed me. You can't get annoyed here, though. Order a bracing but delicious espresso or a luxurious cappuccino (non dairy milk is available) and bask in the gorgeousness of your ancient surroundings.

Ordered: Ice Moka (~€8) Pistachio Cornetti (~€3) Chocolate Cornetti (~€3) Custard Cornetti (~€3): with strawberries on top Aya's take: My last stop in Rome before flying out! We stopped here after hearing a lot about it and honestly, it was good but I wasn't that impressed. Service is a bit slow considering nothing needed to be "made" except the coffee. It was filling and held me until I got on my flight. I'm sure you can find better cafes in the area, but if you find yourself here, you won't be too disappointed.

Great location for a quick pick me up before or after visiting the Pantheon. The place is vibrant with all the yellow. The coffee was very strong and flavorful. I would have come back here if I had more time. Ordered in the right side then moved to the bar on the left side and was served quickly.

Came here twice during my trip in Rome in Nov 2022. Sant' Eustachio Il Caffe is one of two SUPER popular cafe's around Pantheon which everyone, everywhere raves above. Little did I know you are supposed to order and pay at the cashier, then bring your ticket to the bar where they prepare your drinks for you. I knew Italy had the practice of quickly enjoying your drink at the bar and leaving vs sitting down at a table outside (which is an option but at a much higher price). Since this was our first cafe during our first visit in Rome, we had to do it like how the Italians do it and go with espressos w/ sugar. Essentially a shot of espresso with foam on top and brown sugar. You take the spoon provided, eat the sugar/foam then shot the espresso. VERY smooth, very flavorful, but much "weaker" than I expected (this began the ruin in taste buds as I can't drink anything lesser in terms of quality since) Guess this is how espresso is SUPPOSED to be ! Had came back near the end of my trip to pick up some coffee beans as well as some chocolate covered coffee beans for home for myself and gifts.

From Chicago, stopped in for a cup of coffee after a walking tour. --best coffee (5/5) I've had in Rome. I had a latte macchiato and it was sweet enough without adding sugar. --worst cannoli (1/5) I've ever had. They were wrapped in peanuts and, perhaps, peanut butter? Tasted like a granola bar. I would recommend for coffee.

Omg, officially my favorite coffee place in the world. Their stuff is so delicious and they have such a fun collection of coffee items and souvenir items. I unfortunately can't remember the name of the coffee I got but it was so good! It was coffee with some sweet cream on top that just pulled the whole thing together especially for sweet tooths out there. Came back with a few souvenirs for clients and I highly recommend getting their coffee candy, total hit!

Came here as it's the best coffee place in Rome. Not that busy as I thought. It is better than most other coffee we had in Italy but not necessarily worth visit it if you don't have time. They do have some nice and cute souvenirs

We came to the Sant Eustachio Emporium on our last day in Rome, and it was a fantastic end to our trip. They have a strong emphasis on coffee/espresso but also have food/pastries. They have a little store you can buy coffee makers, chocolates, and other goodies you can take home with you. We sat down and were served within 10 minutes. The pastries were all tasty and the cappuccinos were in the top three that we had during our trip. The croistini (croissant) dough was sweet as it should be and filled with a good amount of chocolate. I'd also suggest trying Roscoli and Trecaffe to compare to here that way you are absolutely sure to get a great coffee/espresso. Not a super expensive breakfast either at $20 USD. I suggest coming here at least once during a trip to Rome.

This was the best coffee place i came across in Rome. They roast their own coffee and have a broad selection of coffee drinks. Boozy ones too ;)

Came to try the coffee granita. Make sure to order at the counter with register, together your ticket to pass to the other side where they make your order. It was worth the stop - the granita was very tasty and refreshing.

Afternoon Coffee and people watching. Always a great combo. We were first planning to stand in line to get coffee at the bar inside. The line was too long. We found a table instead. I think the coffee gods were telling us to sit and relax! On order: Cappuccino. Nice and simple Romeo and Juliet. Coffee mousse, chocolate. Whipped cream. Seconds, please! Whether trying the Roman way or paying extra for the table, enjoy!

The ambiance is Italy. It is a Roman thing here where all the locals like to come and the tourists so it's always packed around the clock. The service is great. They move you in and get you out in the signage is easy to read. So if your coffee head you know what to get the food is good as well for what it is, the type of place it is and it's some good tourist spot

So it's between here and La Casa del Caffè Tazza d'Oro for the coffee wars in Rome. I actually prefered La Casa del Caffè Tazza d'Oro but there is nothing wrong with Sant' Eustachio. The line here is always long and seems to move slower than you would want it to go. The coffee is OK but personally i found it not as strong as coffee in other places in Rome. Again, not a bad thing but for me I prefer the stronger more flavorful coffee. Service here is "ok" and that is based on Europe standards. Organization seemed a bit off when I visited as well as they may have been short handed since the barista has to cross the floor to get the pastry I ordered. As with all places you order and get a ticket then take your ticket to the bar on the other side and hand it to a barista to prepare your drink. Prices are for standing at the bar and eating/drinking there. Should you like to sit down outside the price is slightly higher so make sure you let them know when you place your order. Again, not a bad place but nothing really exceptional for me so I preferred another coffee bar over this one. Pro Tip - Yes it's obvious but NO CAPPUCCINO after 11AM in Rome. It's considered a breakfast drink and it's simply just not done.

One of the best in Rome! Sant' Eustachio has smooth and rich espresso. The interior is very vibrant. They have cappuccino cups, coffee beans, espresso cups, mokas, and more for sale. This would be a great place if you are looking for a gift or something to up your coffee game! Believe it or not, if you have a Nespresso machine they have little Nespresso cups! PSA: If you want to sit outside it costs a small charge, otherwise you can stand and drink your coffee at the bar.

Delish cappuccino and chocolate pastries. If you're in the area and want a caffe then this is the place to go.

Hole in the wall but right off the pantheon and easy to pho in for an afternoon coffee break. Heads up: You have to order from the register first and then bring your receipt to the bar to get your drink and croissant.

On our way to the Vatican for a tour, we stopped at San't Eustachio. It is located on a quaint street. We tried a cappuccino which was the best cappuccino I had while in Rome. We also ordered a croissant with crema and strawberries! Delizioso!! This was probably my favorite coffee and breakfast spot. If you are in the area, you must try this place! It is in close proximity to the pantheon and would make a great afternoon treat! As per most coffee places in Italy, you will receive your purchase while standing at the bar. If you aren't in a hurry to make a tour, you can sit outside and enjoy the Italian atmosphere while savoring the delicious flavors.

Tourist beware. We were charged double for sitting outside. I went this morning with my finance, we ordered two cappuccinos and two croissants and our bill came to 20 euros. Way overpriced for what we got. When we reviewed the menu pricing this is exactly double of what was listed. 6 euros per cappuccino instead of 3. We felt taken advantage of because this was not communicated to us. Especially when right next door you can get a cappuccino for 1.5 - 2 euros! That being said coffee was good, but not worth that price at all. In effort to help other tourists who just want a morning pick me up, beware they will try and take advantage.

Very popular and interesting place! A must stop if you're in the area. I went twice. The first was an iced latte and it actually got better as I drank it... which has never happened before in any coffee that I have drank which blew my mind. The second time, I tried the "Romeo & Juliette", and this fell a little flat for me. It was decent but I wouldn't order it again. It gets busy and might be pretty hard to get a table but you can grab to go or drink at the (small) espresso bar. Expect fairly normal prices for the area

The ambiance was super cute and gives that classic vibe. The service was not super friendly but was ok, a little terse. We came on a hot day though so maybe the servers were feeling the heat. The coffee was a bit bitter, so if you prefer that sort of dark roasted almost burnt coffee flavor, this is a great spot to try.

A favorite among tourists and locals alike. On my first trip ever in Rome years ago and a friend who's a local brought us here. Been here a few times since then after moving to Rome. The place has a vast variety of coffee drinks (standard and a few of their own), a few pastries, and a lot of products to take home. Drink at the counter (typical Italian style) inside or sit at a table outside. Be warned, it gets very crowded at times. I'm not one for thinking anything is worth a long wait, but when I'm the mood for coffee, in the neighborhood and it's not crowded I'll enjoy a coffee here. Some facts: It's a family owned/run establishment apparently established in the 1930s. On my visit today, cashed out for my drink with the owner himself. The coffee is 100% arabica beans, typical of what you'll find around Italy. The aroma is nice when you buy a bag of grounds for at home (much more cost efficient too). 1 star less as it's overpriced for a drink but hype is hype and this place remains a staple in Rome.

We stopped by this place to get my coffee fix since it was close to our bed & breakfast and conveniently located near the Pantheon and shops that we were visiting. I initially ordered a cappuccino but our waiter recommended their iced coffee. I'm glad he did because it was amazing! I savored every last drop. Their coffee is strong and bold... just the way I like it! Although it was a bit on the pricier side for the size, at 7 euros, it was still worth it. I picked up a couple bags of whole beans to take back home for myself and family. As for their sweets, I'm normally not a fan of cannolis but their pistachio cannoli was to die for! Don't miss this place if you're in the area!

Very strong and smooth coffee- if you're looking for a good pick me up, this is the place to go! Not too overpriced and touristy which I appreciated.

I'm an admitted coffee snob, and as one, I should have known better when I walked up. But I got this recommendation from our hotel concierge- ask a local, right? Nah. Not delicious. I didn't enjoy my coffee, nor my pastry.

Delicious. It was slow and the people were pleasant if not friendly, but that is kind of how everyone was during our time in Italy. The place was cute and you could feel the history of the place. Definitely worth a trip.

Cappuccino was really good. Service east awesome! Will definitely return for more coffee.

Couldn't eat after how rude absolutely every single service person was. I got yelled at by 3 people in a row before giving my food and coffee to someone who was experiencing homelessness. Can't speak on if it tastes good as to me, it can't be worth getting bullied over.

This was the best coffee I had in Italy. Great service, great location great ambiance. If you only get one cup this is the place!

My wife's favorite coffee shop in Rome, and I discovered their pistachio croissants (aka cornettis) on our most recent trip, which were incredible. (A crispy exterior with some light pistachio cream on the inside.) We also really loved the millefoglies -- both the lemon version and especially the white chocolate one.

i got a chocolate croissant, frappe, and cappuccino, the croissant was good but not very warm and honestly nothing that special, the grape said it came blended but it was just iced and they honestly might've given me the wrong drink and i do not recommend that drink, the cappuccino was good but again nothing super special i have had better in the city. I read this was a really good cafe and was excited to try, it's below average i would say. Skip it and try one of the other cafes in rome! we sat outside and the street is pretty busy, the tables were very close together but all full, and a bike tour group went in after we ordered so it was a little busy but the service was fine again nothing special

Came here first thing in the morning and sat grabbed coffee. Nice quiet area (at least in the morning) to enjoy a coffee. I enjoyed the grande cappuccino and would reorder again. The apricot croissant and granita con panna were good. I will give Tazza d'Oro the edge for better coffee but Sant' the better outdoor seating/relaxing ambiance

The coffee was fabulous. The place is small so great to get a quick cup of expresso. There are tables outside for a relaxed cafe experience .

I will have to rave about our visit here. The best coffee we've had by far. My only regret is going here on our last day and not buying coffee to take home back to the US with us. I checked online and the shipping fee is ridiculous. My son loved their croissants with apricot jam. Mind you, he is very picky and him finishing a croissant with a fruit jam in it is a miracle. So when in Rome, go visit this place and have a cup of Rome's treasure. Update: So they don't sell the jam online but the owners were so gracious to accommodate us. My son couldn't be more happier when he saw what's in the package. So when in Rome, don't forget to drop by this cafe!

Oh my god, can you bring me back here or export this coffee to the US? Please and thank you! Thank you to our tour guide Alexander Morrietti for introducing us to the best coffee in Italy. I mean I could literally drink this everyday. No wonder, it has a Yelp sticker on it's door and countless other stickers! It's totally deserves every recognition it gets! If I were to ever move to Italy, metaphorically speaking, I would spend my mornings here with a good chat to my husband or friends. We would slowly indulge on just the best expresso ever made in one shot cup. If your reading this, bookmark it! You will not regret that, as you will want to get the coffee exported or bring it to your next destination. Every sip will be bliss.

Best coffee in Rome! They make it thick and foamy. Must try when in Rome! You can stand in the counter or sit down in the tables.

Worst attention they give me a bakery item in a plate and as soon as sit they kicked me out

Fantastic iced coffee (shakerato)! The perfect drink on a hot summer day. Can easily drink two of them.

Just a wonderful relic from the past. My daughter and I loved it. Great food, superb coffee

Whether water from an ancient aqueduct has anything to do with it is debatable, but the 100% Arabica Beans roasted on-site definitely makes Sant' Eustachio Il Caffè Coffee stand out, while Pastries have also held up their end of the bargain since 1938. Located not far from the Pantheon, and open from 07h30 daily, it is once inside the storied space that guests are greeted briskly, the Beverage menu ranging from simple shots to Mocha while English-fluent servers are glad to offer their suggestions of what is most popular. Now offering whole and ground Beans on-site or via Website, it is after paying that guests are encouraged to watch their drinks be made, the bold base minimally bitter with smooth nuttiness that pairs well to foam or Cocoa, not to mention a variety of housemade Pastries. Rarely one to forgo the sweet stuff, it was mindful of the day's aggressive eating agenda that only four items were selected, the pair of Lobster Tails seeing Nutella a touch too sweet in comparison to White Chocolate while the shattering Millefoglie and citrusy but somewhat soft Sfogliatella fared better.

What a great experience in this historic caffe. While in Rome we ate here multiple times and bought different types of coffee drinks, candies and pastries. The staff is great even when it gets crowded. I love this plac

This is a great place to stop by for a cappuccino! I'm not a coffee person and I usually never order espressos or cappuccinos but I came here for the sake of my husband, who is a coffee fanatic. I took a sip of his cappuccino and I was hooked. It was sweet, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Order your drinks and pastries at the counter and then take your ticket to the barista. Sitting down at the cafe costs extra. Or, you can also order your cappuccino to-go. Service was also quick and friendly. Since our hotel was literally right around the corner we ended up coming here three days in a row for our cappuccino fix. Also, try the pistachio croissant! Those are absolutely delicious as well :)
