Sant' Eustachio Caffè

Of the two famous cafes in the area, I did prefer this one, both for the energy and the coffee, though there’s less bar space and the ambiance isn’t quite as nice. Ordered the gran caffe which had so much foam that no milk was needed, with a shakerato to go, and found the combination a great balance on a hot summer day.

Apparently the “best” coffee in Rome. I got the monachella. It just tasted like chocolate coffee with whip cream. The service was pretty fast for how busy it was. They have no indoor seating only outdoors. Good prices too

Tried Sant’ Eustachio Caffè after seeing great reviews on Instagram, and it didn’t disappoint. The coffee was strong, smooth, and perfectly balanced—no bitterness at all. Hard to find a bad coffee in Rome, but this spot stands out as one of the best!

Overall an OK experience. The plain croissant had a sweet lemon glaze flavor to it which was very disappointing. The shakerato was bitter. The gran cappuccino was good. We sat outside which was a nice vibe but service was slow and probably not worth it for the increased prices for sitting down. I recommend taking it to go.

This café is definitely a must-visit, located in a vibrant corner of Rome—it's NOT a tourist trap. I ordered: * La Nostra Crema al Caffè (very creamy, with a good amount of coffee for a later caffeine boost: 9/10) * Pistachio Millefeuille (this is exceptional: 10/10) * Pistachio Croissant (the croissant dough is excellent, but the pistachio paste could be improved: 8/10).

I got there early, around 8am, and was one of the only people inside. The sugar in the coffee was a unique and delicious addition to the usual cappuccinos you’ll find in Italy.

I like Sant Eustachio’s coffee, it’s aromatic and well balanced. Ice coffee, moretto and romeo e giuletta are all delicious. I also buy the coffee bean to be brought home. And it’s good. It’s truly one of the best cafe in Rome. And also the best place to drink coffee on the street of Rome. And it’s located in the heart of Rome’s historical center, between Piazza Navona and Pantheon. Truly an amazing place to drink coffee. I lives 11K km away from Rome. This is my second time visiting Rome. The first one was 10 years ago. In both visit, we come to have coffee in Sant Eustachio. This time visit, we come twice. This place can be very crowded sometimes. Thus, be patient. If you are in a hurry, better come back later. This place is very nice to be enjoyed in a relaxing mood.

It might sound cliché, but this really is the best coffee in the world 😂😂 and I mean it! Just watch the video the creaminess of this coffee is out of this world. If you’re in the area, this place has to be a must-stop. Don’t come in a rush. Take your time to savor the coffee, soak in the vibe, and enjoy the experience because if you’ve made it all the way here, it’s only worth it if you truly enjoy it. We were lucky, we traveled during the last week of November, and there was hardly any line!

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!

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.

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.

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

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 ;)

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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 .

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

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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 :)

The most famous coffee place in Rome. It offers a large selection of coffees and nice pastries. In the shop you can find the coffee capsules for your Nespresso machine and all the accessories you need for your coffee.

I came to this place because everyone said it was a must with the best coffee. I was disappointed and expecting a bit more. I think the ambience had a lot to do with it as well and maybe if things were a bit clearer than I would give 4 stars. When visiting, you have 2 options: sit down and order coffee or order coffee inside but you cannot sit down outside. No one told us this when entering and after we got our coffee we tried to sit down and they told us no, even though the seating is for their cafe. When I ordered inside, no one tells you to give your ticket to the bar in front of the register and than they make your coffee, which is a bit confusing. The man on the register was the nicest, but the rest of the staff leave a bad taste in the mouth. I'm not sure if it was because they were busy or not. In regards to the coffee and food, cannoli was good and different with a nut/honey shell and vanilla filling. The cappuccino was ok, but I had better coffee in other places. I did buy the coffee grounds to taste and see. The other coffee my group had, they said it was ok. If your on a time crunch and debating on visiting this place I would skip it, but if you have time to kill, definitely go and try it.

Great experience and popular caffe. Not sure I'd walk out of my way to here unless I'm staying or near the area. Tiramisu, Romeo&Juliet, and cappuccino were really good and price accordingly. Pastries were abundantly but not awesome in taste. Customer service was very friendly.
