BrewAtlas only lists specialty coffee shops, so every café here has passed our curation bar for coffee quality, and placement can't be bought. To appear on this page a café must also serve espresso. This isn't a popularity ranking: it's the full set of curated cafés for espresso in Rome, kept up to date as hours and details change.
