    Good choices of teas. We ordered two and they were both great. They ran out of the cake we wanted. Staff was friendly and inside was nice.

    I've been here many times and this last trip to Rome twice (almost 3'times but they were closed one day). I love this place. I could go everyday. The imperial Earl Grey tea is wonderful. We also had the scones and the key lime tart is PERFECTION!!! Great atmosphere and good service. Charming tea house with history.

    A Christmas cake for a family (55 euros)!

    Babingtons is a life-saver! After walking the miles and miles of streets sightseeing and window-shopping, I had to take a break and headed fir this adorable corner of England. Rome, of course, has an abundance of espresso and coffee caffes so Babingtons brings tea up front and center as their offering. What a grand selection of teas that they have! Black, Green, Herbal Infusion, Special blends particular to the shop. The list goes on & on. For me today, I had the afternoon tea with the mignon (darling) cookies and a mini cupcake. It was just right! Five sweets offered; I ate the chocolate chip cookie which was delicate and crumbly, part of the coconut macaron and the spice cake mini cupcake. Yum! My tea selection was the Babingtons special blend with rose oil and an assortment of spices. Delicate in taste it was a lovely afternoon tea. The service was calm and mannerly. I chatted with the young lady serving me and she was from Southern Italy and a stage & theater actress by trade...interesting to see that in Rome, those who want to perform end up in food service just like in the USA. As I absorbed the 100+ years of history in this small shop, I marvel at its continued existence. The grandson of the founder was sitting two tables away from me working on a computer and giving periodic instructions to lead staff. I'm so glad Babingtons is here (my oasis) and wish continued success into the next decade and onwards!

    A selection of gourmet flavored hot and cold teas. They have different flavored cookies and pastries. The sad thing is they didn't have my favorite macaroons. I tried their delicious beef tartare. I'm satisfied with the service and the foods here. Yes will recommend to a friend.

    I love this place. It was a hot week when we visited Spanish Steps so it was good to find a tea room right beside it. We ordered some sandwiches and their Ms. Babington's special as cold iced tea and it was good! I end up buying the whole can and the staff was very helpful.

    There can be a wait with no reservation, but the tea itself is AMAZING! There are many different tea options and they give a brief description of what each one is flavored with and how they benefit. Great comforting meals that are served and desserts, too!

    I was seeking a more traditional english breakfast and decided to come here one morning while we were in Rome. Babingtons wasn't particularly bad or good, just expensive. We ordered a fruit salad which was I think 9 euro and it was pretty terrible. The scrambled eggs were decent and toast was, again, very expensive. Unfortunately, if you are looking for eggs in the morning in Rome, we couldn't find a lot of options but honestly, you are probably better off finding somewhere else.

    We were a little taken back by the prices at first but we had an excellent time here! The staff was so kind and we really enjoyed their service. My dad ordered a salad and my mom and I had the Dorothy's Cream Tea for two. My dad LOVED his salad. He said it was perfect. He even had a grapefruit juice with it. He was very happy. My mom and I loved the Scottish scones with the cream and jam. The earl grey tea tasted a little too smokey for our liking but we mostly enjoyed it. This place has the cutest teapots ever! We love cats and cats are EVERYWHERE here! It was adorable! We really had an excellent time eating here, the prices are just a little steep.

    Found this place walking around the Spanish Steps. It is very nice and they sat us right away even though we were a group of 5. Are the teas pricey? Yes, they can be, but I live near LA so I wasn't put off by the prices. We got the high tea which came with sandwiches, scones, and little desserts for about the same LA prices. It's not uncommon to pay $25-30 per person at a tea house. I found the prices comparable, but if you've never been to a tea house, I can see why some say it's expensive. It's an experience and we were willing to pay for it. The service was great and the people were amicable. Would recommend if you're in the area and want some tea. The 125th anniversary tea was great. We also tried one of the 7 teas of Rome which was the Michelangelo one.

    We had the vanilla black tea. No trace of vanilla. Also the chai. No trace of chai or any flavour. €14.50 for a cup of weak tasteless tea.

    Babington's offers a very nice tea service in a lovely location. The interior is cute but the tables are too close together.
