I'll miss Rome, and I'll miss this place in particular. When I come back, this will be the first place I come. If you're curious, I had a freddo cappuccino with sugar the first time and a hot chocolate with espresso (what Americans view as a simple mocha) the second time.

Sant Eustachio II Caffe is considered an ancient coffee shop located in the heart of Rome. Very…read moreclose to the Pantheon. In the 4 times that I've visited Rome, Sant Eustachio never fails to impress me. Every visit, we manage to be here once or twice. Have tried their Gran capuccino, Monachella, irish coffee, tiramisu. They have pastries to try as well. No seating available inside but a few tables are available outside. Be prepared to be charged table service if you decide to sit down. It can get crowded at times but definitely worth the try and wait. Italians normally stands by the counter to sip their espresso and we've tried that too. Definitely a must go to when in Rome.

Expensive, But Not Surprising…read more While claiming to be the 3rd oldest coffee shop in the world, Antico Caffe Greco does not skimp on classy. They understand why people will step through their doors, and perhaps sometime in the past 2 and a half centuries, they realized they can monetize their history for a ridiculous amount of profit. The result? A unique, classy, delicious, EXPENSIVE, coffee shop experience. The price is justified by the extreme level of service and the very comfortable, historical, and fancy interior of the cafe. It's humungous, too! The attendant in the bathroom waiting to assist you (for whatever reason) is an interesting touch. While I personally believe that these prices are still ridiculous (hence knocking it down a star), a one-time visit to this place is warranted for those who want to be a part of this cafe's history. Just don't be surprised by the hefty price of entry.

Honestly, some of my favorite moments in Rome were just sitting outside here by myself with a drink, people-watching (great spot for this) and soaking it all in. Made me want to come back just to chill here. Super easy setup, you just walk in, order, pay, and take your drink outside. There are plenty of tables out front, and even some indoor seating if it gets busy. I got limoncello and Aperol Spritzes for around €6 each, which is a great deal for the area. The vibe here is exactly what you want from a Rome café, relaxed, local, and effortlessly charming. 5 out of 5, easily. One of my favorite international cafes I've ever been to.
