Barnum Cafè

If you're a tourist looking for Berlin-style hipster cafés in Rome, this is the place for you Where to begin? The service is excellent – everyone is friendly, speaks perfect English, and the dishes are served very quickly. How about the food and drinks? The coffee tastes just as it should – creamy and flavorful. ☕ The almond croissant is perfect: crispy and crunchy on the outside, with a soft core and a perfect hint of almond. Just great! 🥐 My avocado toast was good – nothing groundbreaking, but tasty. 🥑 Would I come back? Probably for a coffee and a croissant, because the location, the street, and the surrounding alleys are beautiful.

The pastries are incredible, super flaky and savory croissants. The cold brew and ice’d latte were also pretty good. The queue to sit was super long so highly suggest just popping in for some croissants and coffee to takeaway. I highly recommend the lemon curd croissant!

Found this while browsing Google Maps for Aussie-style breakfast spots in Rome, read many good reviews and decided to check it out. It was a short walk from our accommodation. Happy to report it lives up to the hype. Food was hearty, service was pleasant and calm despite the cafe being full. We arrived 30 minutes after opening and it was already full, be prepared to wait during peak times. The cafe was busy but no one was panicky and there was no chaos at any point. We tried another brunch spot in Rome and it didn’t live up to Barnum.

Staff was so friendly and don’t get me started on the food. Pancakes were unbelievably great!! So fluffy and honestly one of the best I’ve ever had in my life. Great idea to put toppings on the side for those who don’t like something but for me, all the toppings were amazing and I would love to come again. The coffee was so pretty and I felt to bad to drink it! I’m so glad I did though as it was a privilege to!! So delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we were stuffed for hours!! Great place to go if your planning a long day out

Fantastic experience - especially catered to tourists but with a Roman charm. The staff is friendly, the coffee and juices tasty - so is the food. Restroom is small but by Rome standards fantastic. Come prepared to wait in a line to be seated. Yes - it’s that popular. Bypass the line by ordering to go inside.
