Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite on your way to explore the rich history of Rome or seeking a cozy spot to unwind, Latteria San Lorenzo promises an authentic Italian café experience that you won’t forget.

Latteria San Lorenzo goes above and beyond. My Ginseng was very watery as it just run out. I asked for another beverage and they were happy to offer me an alternative and a biscuit to compensate for the inconvenience.

First place I could get a real iced black coffee in Italy without feeling bad about ordering it. It was delicious and the croissant was also the best I had in all of Italy so far.

They have the best croissant with creme in Rome. Other pastries including brownies, donuts and muffins are also very delicious. The coffee is very good. Staff is very friendly. The place is too small inside.

I just had breakfast and it was a very nice experience. The coffee was delicious, i ordered also some croissants with tomato and mozarella, it was so good that I had to order two of them. My kids enjoyed also the pancakes. Nice place to have a quick breakfast. Will come back the next time I am in Rome
