Loved this cafe! Plenty of space and a relaxing atmosphere. I got a cappuccino and cornetto and they were both delicious. The baristas were very friendly and offered many great options to someone we were with that preferred iced tea to coffee. This day I went in around 9am but I would love to go back at night for a drink sometime. read more

A gem of a breakfast/lunch spot that is a short walk away from The Vatican. Fabrica is a fairly intimate cafe that has an entry of a small garden and shop. We didn't need a reservation and we were able to get a table for six without any issue. The decor felt like we were living in a those vintage metal tin wall decor with the arrangement of bicycles, vintage art, and plants. From poached eggs and avocado toast to french toast, everything was super tasty and beautifully presented. The highlight was their desserts and I'm still drooling just thinking about them. The outside from the street might feel quaint but it's a must try when you're in the area. read more

Fabrica - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rome, RM

My entire family and I just love this place. During our trip to Rome this is the one place we ate at several times. Most places in Rome are mediocre tourist traps. So at the end of the day night when we were tired from walking miles and miles exploring the beautiful ancient city of Rome and we were too tired to take our chances we went here. And we were happy every single time! For breakfast I highly recommend the French toast. It's not French toast in the USA sense. But, it is absolutely delicious nonetheless. Or have the avocado toast with smoked salmon. I actually took a chance on this one. You see in the USA smoked salmon is kind of...rubbery to me...I don't know how quite to explain it, but, I just don't really like it. So knowing how great this place has been, I decided to try it one morning. OMG, it was perfection. As you can tell from my long dissertation here, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place!!!! Do it. Now!! read more

I always say ... I'll end up exactly where I'm supposed to be . Stumbled upon this spot for breakfast and it was perfect in every way . Inside and outdoor seating . Friendly staff . Pastries , sandwiches , coffee and tea . They also sell tea and tea accessories . Already missing Rome . read more

With so many restaurants in Rome, it's hard to find a decent restaurant that is consistent and the food is great. I was able to find that at Fabrica. The outside decor doesn't remind me of a restaurant but the inside is more appealing and appropriate of a seat dine dining. The waiter was fluent in English and very helpful, courteous and made some great recommendations I ordered the English breakfast and it was cooked as ordered and it was one of the best breakfasts I had while in Rome. The portion sizes were appropriate for the price and bacon, oh the bacon reminded me of bacon you find in your local grocery store in the United States. If I do make it back to Rome in the future, I definitely have a reliable restaurant for breakfast and their pastries are delicious great also. This was definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Rome. Check them out! read more

Fabrica - Salmon with patatas - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rome, RM

My friend and I came here every Monday morning for 4 months straight. My friend and I were studying abroad here in Rome and found this beautiful, tucked away cafe. Such good vibes and such kind employees. We ordered the same thing every monday, one vanilla cappuccino and one hazelnut cappuccino with two chocolate croissants. This was the best cappuccino i've ever had. The employees began to memorize our order and would make conversation with us. We always felt extremely welcomed especially being American. We stayed here for 4 months and honestly this place might be the hardest to leave behind. Could not give this place a bad rating. Will always hold a special place in my heart read more

Had a lovely breakfast here of croissants and espresso. They had variations, like Nutella and thing a like cookies. My wife has the eggs, toast, and bacon and it was simple and well done. They had a variety of fresh juices and my son enjoyed the fresh orange juice. Staff was very kind and spoke English. Music was some chill beats. Highly recommended for a lazy Sunday morning. read more

This is a neat little tea/cafe located not to far from the Vatican (maybe a twenty minute walk or a quicker walk from the metro). I'll be honest, I didn't know anything about it until I looked on Yelp and saw it was close by. When we entered I thought I was in the wrong place. There was random pottery and things to buy, I saw no sign of a cafe. We walked a little further and finally saw tables and a bar. We were seated fairly quickly but the menus are in Italian so be careful if you only speak English. Most of the menu is made up of tea and coffee but you'll find other drinks and small bites as well. I went with a hot chocolate and a ricotta and Nutella pie. The hot chocolate was pretty meh. Missing sugar but thick. Had there been more sugar I would have already got back. The pie was good and we ate it all. I would recommend the pie if you're looking for something sweet but not over the top. I really enjoyed the atmosphere here. I got a hippy take your shoes off vibe yet also a place for a nice glass of wine. (Psa-don't actually take your shoes off). I just mean it's a relaxing and inviting area. Staff were in no rush to kick us out and I appreciated being able to talk for an hour without being asked to leave. read more

If you're Vatican city waiting around for the Sistine Chapel, take a short walk down to this really cute cafe! They have an amazing breakfast menu and many pastries to choose from. It was all very reasonably priced and there was also free WiFi to pass the time by. I ordered their chocolate ganache pie and my dad ordered their lemon cheesecake tart. Both very flavorful and not sweet. My boyfriend ordered their English style breakfast set and it came with a lot of stuff! All very yummy and bite sized for an afternoon snack. I really liked how relaxing it felt inside, unlike the Vatican filled with tourists and commotion. read more

The place looks great and the drinks were fine but the staff was incredibly rude. If you are an American I recommend avoiding this place.

This place was amazing! Quickly sat, the food was fire, as was the cappuccino. The staff was amazing Af! They legit were dancing to the music they were playing in the restaurant, and no, not while people were waiting for service. Love this spot. read more

I know it's not very Italian to want a hot breakfast (traditionally just coffee and a pastry or as someone joked on trip advisor, coffee and a cigarette LOL), but after being in the city for a couple of days, I needed something hot to start my day! When you are traveling, you really need a hearty breakfast. Thank you yelpers for letting me know about this place! I ordered the English breakfast, which came with toast, butter, bacon, ham, cheese, pancakes, croissant, orange juice, coffee, and an egg (scrambled or fried, your choice) for 14 euros. The amount given for each condiment of nutella and jam was incredible - probably about 4 times the amount you'd get in the USA. Everything was pretty good for being in a foreign country. My food was slightly cold, and I wonder if the food sat on a counter somewhere before being brought to me. The barista was a bit busy, so I waited about 30 minutes for breakfast. In contrast, the men who came and sat next to me only waited 15 minutes. Luck of the draw, I guess! I really liked the decor. When you walk in, there are tea-related items, which are really cute. The artwork inside is quaint and charming as well, e.g. a "painting" made of buttons. I could totally see this as being some kind of place where college students go to study, like at Starbucks in the USA. I would definitely come here again, especially since I could not find another hot breakfast place in the area (and no, I did not want pizza for breakfast). The barista and the cashier both spoke English fluently enough to communicate and explain what is included in the breakfast. This is not far from the Vatican or the Ottaviano metro station (red line). This is also basically across the street from a mercado (see my reviews), which means you can have a hearty breakfast and then go grocery shopping. Enjoy! read more

Not tourist friendly, they were asking for a green pass and were from the US, we Showed our covid vacc card but they did not accept. Bummer

Attn anyone sealing a solid American style breakfast. We found this gem by accident. They have absolutely hands down the best brunch in Rome. Eggs,toast, ham, coffee,oj, and jams. For only 12 euro!! This place is hidden and tucked away by a small storefront. Just walk in to about 20 ft and turn left. There is a full bar, tons of eloquent seating and a extremely relaxing atmosphere. The staff is friendly and aims to please. Everything we ate was fantastic.! We were in Rome for a week and we searched high and low for a "home style meal" we had eaten so many Croissants and muffins it was time for a real meal. Thank the lord we found this. I hope you have the great opportunity to eat here if your wanting that American breakfast feel. Ciao read more

We found this place on Yelp. We walked 20 mins out of the way to come here because we were looking for a restaurant that serves breakfast. Lol. As Americans, we didn't realize how difficult it is to find breakfast....typical breakfast, eggs, toast, bacon, etc. out here in Rome, breakfast is not a big deal. Anyhow, we walked to come here, was skeptical at first....the entrance is a little confusing. But listen for the dishes and keep walking. Lol. Once we walked in, we were warmly greeted. The server sat us walked away and tended to us promptly. She was very courteous. Anyhow, we ordered the "English Breakfast." It came out pretty fast. It is a LOT of food. Previous yelps say the meal is 10 euros. It is now 12. Lol. But still, a ton of food and comes with coffee. A VERY good meal. At the end she gave us complimentary deserts. Which was also very nice. All around good service, good food, good drinks, and a nice little environment. Must try. read more

3.5 Stars At first glance we were really excited to check out this place. We're Americans and we were dying for some basic (American) breakfast in Rome. We walked passed it twice before we realize the entrance. So look at the pictures before you go! We walked into a tea spot & realized the cafe was towards the back, super cool. Really loved the hipster vibes, very modern & a cute lounge area. There was only one table when we walked in. We got seated right away & as soon as we put the menus down the waiter came to take our order. As soon as we ordered (two English Breakfast, one with an Americano & one with a Cappuccino) there was a bunch of people who walked in. Now we understand it was only one person but he served they ALL before even bringing our coffees . Very annoying. Then the food came, way smaller then the pictures on Yelp. It's like they got so popular that they decided to jack up the price (14 euros per meal) and cut the portions. WTH This is the first time out of my 8 days here at Rome that I felt I hit a tourist trap. Don't waste your time!! Cool setting but that's it !! read more

Excellent Excellent Excellent breakfast. Well worth the money. The barista/waiter was very lively. The facility was well decorated. I was very comfortable with the ac and the music was tasteful.

When one tires of having pastries for breakfast, Fabrica provides an excellent reprieve. After checking out the Vatican, my friends and I were rather peckish and choose this establishment based on other Yelp reviews. It did not disappoint! For €10 each, you get freshly squeezed OJ, a cappuccino, pastry, egg, toast, ham, and generous serving of bacon. The food was brought out very quickly and our table barely fit all of the plates and cups. As we ate, there was a steady stream of locals coming to grab morning coffee and chat up the batista. While not a culinary masterpiece, the food is good, filling, and well worth the money, especially compared to other restaurants in Rome. There was plenty of seating and it was cool temperature-wise, a bonus given the heat of late July. read more

After having many European Breakfasts, it was refreshing to have an American style breakfast. We had eggs, bacon, a pancake, cappuccino, orange juice, ham, cheese, croissant, and toast. The pancake was very small and the bacon is not what we are used to. However, it was close to an American breakfast, which was comforting. Also, this location is very, very close to the Vatican Museums (about a 5 minute walk). The atmosphere of this cafe is very quaint and reminded me of coffee shops back home, although it was much larger. I regret not taking a picture of my breakfast, but hopefully this review will suffice. read more

So, after reading other reviews here on Yelp we decided we'd go here for breakfast. So a Sunday mid morning, there was us and already in the establishment, a table of 9. Not what you'd call busy. The ambience of the place is one of a modern warehouse turned restaurant. If you are a tea drinker then the menu is for you! This place would be a tea drinkers paradise. More flavours than you can shake a stick at. The breakfast menu is basically choose a pastry or slice of torte, or, go for the full English for €14. We decided on the latter... Anyone who has eaten a full English will know what to expect. What this place serves is NOT a genuine experience. This restaurant serves a mash up of English, American & continental. You get a croissant served with butter, jam & Nutella. Scrambled egg that was just ok, 3 rashers of the saltiest bacon I've ever tasted. The bacon is cooked typically American style i.e. very crispy. Two American style pancakes, not very fluffy though & room temperature. Two slices of processed cheese & two slices of ham, four slices of toasted bread. A glass of orange juice with ice & a cappuccino. One of our group also ordered an espresso which we sat waiting for & it never appeared. When we went to pay we found it sat there on the counter, cold. It was a long wait for food that was basically meh. Wouldn't go back here to be honest. Going on other Yelp reviews of this place, I can only think they enjoy low standard food & service. read more

This off-the-beaten-path coffee shop happened to be on the way from our hotel into town. We were looking for a good breakfast, but didn't have our hopes set too high. "Remember, honey, we're in Europe," I said to my husband. "They think a croissant and a tiny cup of coffee is breakfast." (There are many wonderful things about living in Europe, easy access to a hearty breakfast is not one of them.) We weren't entirely sure about what we could get when we went up to the bar to order, but we tentatively asked for eggs, thinking "Who knows? Maybe we might get lucky?" Sure! Eggs were no problem. Scrambled? Yep, sounds good. Did we want bacon? Bacon! We hit the jack pot! OF COURSE we want bacon! Who doesn't want bacon??? After we waited at the table with our coffee - a quite nice cup of coffee - we were presented with two plates of fluffy scrambled eggs, with bacon, biscuits with jam, and some small croissants. It was such a nice surprise to get a delicious REAL breakfast during our get away to Rome. read more

What a great hidden gem for brunch! Very unsuspecting upon walking in but has lots of seating upon entering the back. Very simple menu but has everything we would want. Ordered eggs, bacon, toast and a cappacino from dnglish menu, all great. read more

The place is a hidden gem-its on a sode street and from the outside appeared closed. Fear not, the entrance is a corridor to a modern and artsy cafe. By Roman standards this place was large and comfortable. We went in for an American style breakfast this morning. I love bread and Italian pastries but im trying to manage my carb/glucose levels as I'm pre-diabetic. It sounds like a death sentence in Italy as pane (bread), pasta and pizza are staples. I read other reviews advertising the breakfast menu so I ordered the mini breakfast which comes with freshly squeezed orange juice (pulp), Caffè (espresso), toast (lots of it!), scrambled eggs, bacon and ham. The toast came with numerous spreads (butter, jam and nutella). I ordered two vanilla cappuccinos to finish off a fantastic breakfast. The cappuccinos were delicious, the eggs, ham and toast were great. The bacon was a bit salty but paired with toast and eggs it was fine. Overall, I'm glad we were able to stop in and get some protein and fuel to start off the morning. Total cost for 2 large filling breakfasts, 2 fresh orange juices, 2 espressos and two vanilla cappuccinos=25 euros. Great deal considering the individual prices of the items. This is Italy after all, and a meal at McDonald's here will set you back about 20 euros. Icing on the cake? Fantastic service and care, we will be back before we leave Rome :) read more

Breakfast was amazing. Best cappuccino I've ever had in my life, but it wasn't the food that made this spot one our vacation favorites. It was Giuseppe who made our experience everything that it was. His service was amazing and he became our new best friend. We stopped by twice. Definitely add this spot to your list for breakfast. read more

Awesome location to grab a bite to eat before you hit the vatican. It is about a ten minute walk to the museum entrance. The front is kind of like a gift shop, but follow the sounds of the pots and pans and enter a hipster, almost industrious cafe that has a lovely bakery counter. When we entered, the server pulled out a piece of paper immediately (Guess we looked like tourists) that said "AMERICAN BREAKFAST $14 EURO). We smiled and said two. It was a large meal, with eggs, bacon, pastries, pancakes served with jelly and nutella. Everything was compartmentalized which I loved! This place gets a five for vibe, service (SUPER QUICK!) and offering an american breakfast and actually knowing how to cook eggs. Loved this place and would definitely revisit. read more
