6 Best Matcha Spots in Rome: Cafés and To-Go Matcha (2026 Guide)
As someone who doesn’t drink coffee, the matcha trend is something I’ve welcomed with open arms. While I used to be a loyal chai latte girl, I have now fully embraced the matcha latte, preferably with coconut milk. In some cities, like Amsterdam, you cannot turn a corner without finding a matcha café, but in Rome it is not quite as common yet. That is why I created this list of the best matcha spots in Rome. Some offer the full experience with a café and sweet treats, while others are more focused on take-away. They are spread across different neighbourhoods of Rome, so you will always have the chance to enjoy a well-deserved matcha latte!
4 Best Cafes in Rome for Reading, Studying and Working (2026 Guide)
Storytime! A couple of years ago I was living in Amsterdam and at the time I was working nearly 50 hours a week. My only free day was Sunday and on those Sundays my favourite ritual was to head to a cozy café with a good book, sink into a couch and order one (or sometimes two, desperate times) slices of cake.
Since moving to Rome I’ve realized that café culture feels very different here. It is much harder to find that same relaxed vibe, the kind of place where you can spend hours unbothered, surrounded by good coffee, homemade cake and a welcoming atmosphere.
So last week I made it my mission to track down those places in Rome, because I was sure they had to exist. Cafés where you don’t feel rushed but instead feel comfortable, inspired and free to read, study or get work done. And I’m happy to say I found them! Here are the 4 best cafés in Rome for reading, studying and working.
My 5 Favourite Spots in Rome After a Year of Blogging
Yes my loves, if you are reading this today, on September 6, 2025, it is officially my birthday and also the one year anniversary of my blog. Exactly one year ago I pressed publish for the very first time and I am forever grateful that I did. To celebrate turning 24 and my little blog turning one, I have put together a list of my favourite spots in Rome after a year of blogging. These places mean the world to me and if you ever find yourself in Rome, do not miss them because I am sure you will fall in love with them. Just as I did.
What to See in the EUR District in Rome: History, Architecture & Surprises
As I have mentioned on my blog before, one of my favourite things about Rome is that every neighbourhood in the city can feel totally different. In my neighbourhood series, I have previously talked about Pigneto, Ostiense, Testaccio, and Monti, and this time I want to focus on the EUR district. Located a little further away from the centre, it is a fascinating place with a dystopian feel to it. To be completely honest, the first time I visited, I kind of got the creeps, but over time I really grew to appreciate it. In this blog post, I will share a bit about the history of the district, the highlights you can’t miss when visiting EUR, and how to get to the area using public transport.
5 x The Best Gelato in Rome (updated 2026)
Since last week I wrote about some of the best savoury street food in Rome, I thought this week it would be nice to switch things over to the sweet side and talk about one of the best treats Rome has to offer: gelato. As an international student, I’ve tried my fair share of gelato in Rome, and over time I’ve collected my top 5 gelaterias for the best gelato in Rome. These spots are the result of plenty of personal “research” (yes, eating a lot of gelato) combined with recommendations from my local Roman foodie friends. When you’re in Rome, you simply have to try them for yourself!
