Sant'Eustachio Il Caffè

Sant'Eustachio Il Caffè is a tiny, intensely Roman coffee stop between the Pantheon and Piazza Navona. People come for the short, sweet espresso made with a carefully guarded roasting tradition and for the energy of a room that barely pauses all day. The best order is the classic caffè, but the granita-style iced coffee is a smart choice in hot months. It is not a long-linger café; it is a ritual stop that tells you a lot about how Romans treat coffee as a daily habit rather than a novelty.
