Barnum Cafè

This is one of the best places to have breakfast in Rome. Their bakery is outstanding. We ordered carrot cake and pistachio croissant and they were mind blowing. The coffee roast was also good. However, the hummus and chickpeas toast was not 5/5 and therefore the rating as 4. But the overall experience ia just lovely.

Visited Rome and we’re staying just a couple of minutes walk away from here. We visited all 5 days of our stay. Coffee is great and the staff are really friendly. They remembered us each day and were very quick to say “hello again!” Amazing that they had alternative milk too as we both drink our coffee with Oat Milk. Will definitely be back on our next visit to Rome. Thanks guys!

I visited this spot for breakfast and recommend arriving early since it gets quite busy, and the line can be long. That said, the wait isn’t too bad, and the staff is welcoming and attentive. The matcha was decent but not exceptional. Service was quick, and the food was enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back to try their croissants and other pastries!

Food was great, coffee even better. Very friendly staff with a nice local atmosphere. Definitely worth visit for a breakfast or lunch if you’re in Rome! Only mind waiting times as it can take up to 30 mins to get a table.

I recently visited Barnum, a cozy cafe in Rome with a lovely industrial-chic vibe. The espresso was excellent, with a rich and balanced flavor. However, I was a bit disappointed to find that they only served bottled water. The pistachio croissant was a delightful treat. The pastry was flaky and buttery, with a subtle sweetness that wasn't overpowering. While the pistachio flavor was present, it could have been more pronounced. Also, the staff were great. Overall, Barnum is a great spot for a coffee and pastry, but the lack of tap water was a minor drawback.
