Good place Just another bakery breakfast place near Roma Termini central station.. Seating/chairs needs to be replaced though.. Compared to other places, we thought the prices were fair and affordable.. Their chocolate croissants are worth a try.. The place being right next to the Metro station entrance is such an convenience.. Go for quick service and honest service..

Once we found this place, we came back every morning for coffee and a croissant! One of the best cappuccinos I've had in Rome and every croissant was delicious. They might not be the most shiny looking ones, like in the tourist traps, but my goodness are they delicious. Service is super quick despite it being quite busy. Lots of locals which is a good sign. And on top of that, 8€ for 2 cappuccinos and 2 croissants! Can't fault it!
