"Great espresso, it was exactly the same all the time, with no abbreviations! Express service, friendly staff! This place have both sitting area, but most crowded is part where you drink your coffe or other drink at bar, in a speedy manner - the Italian way! P.S. Croissant are great too: chocolate, pistaccio and vanilla."

"Staff behind counter where you pay and waiter were nice. Coffee guys were cranky, even when attempting to talk Italian to them. Affordable: I mistook Medium for Normal though which i would call Large, but is also more than twice the price. Location is nice though. Cappuccino was decent. All in all good enough, and open during off-season which is apparently not normal in the area."

"Situated just opposite Termini and good for breakfast or just whiling your time waiting for the connection to your next destination. The service is superb and we appreciate his understanding that we are not familiar with the process of ordering. He knows his stuff as we just showed him the pictures we took of the food we wanted. we love the pastries and the sandwiches. Cappuccino is good and warms the body as it’s still cold in the morning. Even though there is a capeto charge for sitting at tables, but it’s worth paying for the service we get."

"I have never been to this café, but I am leaving this review because I want to send my thanks to a staff member here. It was early in the morning on September 24th last week when I was helped by a man near Termini station. He told me his name twice, but I couldn’t remember it. I only recall that when we said goodbye in front of the café, he mentioned that he worked here. I came back to the café the next day to look for him and thank him, but unfortunately, I couldn’t meet him again. I would like to express my gratitude to him as written below: "Sorry that I couldn’t remember your name even though you told me twice, because that morning I was truly terrified. I am really very grateful to you for helping me that morning. I have been to Rome three times, everything was wonderful and also very safe. That morning, I had a very early appointment, which is why I went out so early and encountered such an incident. Luckily, you were there that day. You were so kind, thoughtful, and gentle with me. I felt reassured and much less afraid with you by my side. Even when I got home, I was still very scared whenever I thought about it, and I sincerely thank you so much. Today, I will be leaving Rome. I wish I could thank you once more now that I have calmed down. That is why I wrote this letter, hoping you will read it. I wish you happiness and joy always. May God bless you – a truly wonderful and kind person. Thank you very much""

"A cafe serving breakfast and light meals. We stumbled upon it after stepping out of Roma Termini station, looking for something more authentic than the crowded,not so appealing spots inside the terminal. We ordered sfogliatelle and croissants, paired with cappuccinos. Everything tasted delicious, though I can’t say for sure if the pastries were prepared that morning or the day before as they didn’t taste super fresh, nothing too off. A couple of things to note: When we visited, their card machine wasn’t working, so they could only accept cash. Best to have some on hand just in case, and communication can be a bit tricky if you don’t speak Italian (Google Translate came to the rescue for us). Overall, worth a one-time try if you’re in the area and want a classic Italian breakfast experience close to the station."

"This was my go to spot for breakfast since it was across from the train station. They had some of the best chocolate croissants i have ever tried even though it was a really small convenience store/cafe. If you don’t want to pay a cover charge then just stand at the counter and have your espresso and dessert there like everyone else."
