Rome Eats - Sant'Eustachio Il Caffè

Stopping for a coffee was another great way to escape inside away from the constant downpour we experienced during our weekend city break in Rome in January.  I told myself that I needed to look at the bright side - at least it wasn't snowing ;-)  

We queued up for a caffeine fix at Sant'Eustachio Il Caffè.  With a line this long, it must be good!

 

The inside of the cafe was decorated with colorful merchandise and Italian sweet treats.

 

We elbowed our way through the crowd past one of the largest espresso machines I've ever seen.

I managed to squeeze into a spot at the counter where I could watch the baristas make my cappuccino.

If the hour is right, you also have the option of adding a little something-something to your coffee.

Our coffees arrived and were overflowing with foam.

We downed our drinks and quickly made way for the next thirsty customers.  The energy of the place was amazing.  It's definitely worth a trip to Sant'Eustachio Il Caffè to warm up on a rainy afternoon.
