Best specialty coffee in Rome: where to go for your daily shot of caffeine
I have spent the first 24 years of my life without drinking coffee, but since I started working in hospitality again, I discovered the magic that is coffee. In Italy, coffee is part of the culture, and I once rejected a date because the guy wanted to take me to Starbucks, which I feel was a fair decision. Rome has so many delicious coffee places, and even your local bar will serve you a great shot of espresso to get your day started. In this blog post, I will tell you all about my favourite specialty coffee places in Rome. These are the places that are more on the trendy side, with many Instagrammable pastries and drinks like matcha as well. If you are like me and love a cute coffee and pastry date with yourself or others, these specialty coffee shops in Rome are the way to go.
