    Excellent French bakery with croissants, tarts, and desserts. The ham and cheese croissant is especially good. I almost wanted to get two, until I got distracted with their large display case of colorful desserts. P.S. I did end up getting dessert for breakfast...

    Packed with locals and tourists. Just grabbed a croissant to go. There was a little line but moved quickly, they are hustling. Love the serve yourself espresso machine situation. I'd go back to try everything in the case. Everything looked beautiful. If I needed bread this looks to be a fantastic bakery option in the area. Nice enough service.

    The apple tart with such flaky pastry! Omg !

    Upon return to Le Levain in Trastevere, I find this shop has grown so tremendously. The pastries are wver so plentiful and there are those luscious desserts. It's Christmas holiday time again so the pastry chef is getting his bouche de noels lined up for the hoards of traditionalists (French pastry lovers). The shop is stuffed with goodies and not only good to look at but also to taste. As always, calorie watching is not happening. Not when the pastries are saving me some calories by being made "light" (flavorful and yet not as much butter)! Every visit to Le Levain is a treat! Treat yourself today and make your way to Trastevere.

    As of today they've removed their stools (due to some law/ordinance issue?) so it's standing only at the tables. But the tarts and sandwiches are still beautiful! I got the passion fruit tart, which was wonderful with its flavor and just the right amount of sour. There's supposed to be spicy banana paste below the passion fruit but it didn't taste spicy. For savory I had a chicken salad sandwich on carbon bread. I loved the bread! Unfortunately I found an egg shell in it, but accidents happen! Would like to go back for lunch again someday.

    Solid breakfast before exploring trastavere. We had a pistachio croissant, the cropizza, a Croque monsier, and a quiche Lorraine - the quiche is the only one I wouldn't order again. Tons of options, friendly staff, would return for sure.

    Cute little bakery. We had quiche and pastries. Everything was divine! We are going back tomorrow before we leave Rome. Yes it was that good!

    croissant au beurre

    Being completely sore from walking 10-16K a day for a week, we weren't up for walking another 30 for a pastry. We ordered to my airbnb from the Glovo and used the free promo code for a first time delivery FIRSTDAY. The delivery was here in 30 minutes. 3 stars for the Croissant 4.5 for the Baguette. While the driver was there right at opening on Saturday morning they were out of pain au chocolate. I'm not an an expert judge of croissants, I'm more of a amateur expert based on trying hundreds in Paris and beyond along with taking the croissant class at Le Cordon Bleu Paris. I found this croissant to be more bready and lacked the slightly sweet buttery taste. Good color but the flakiness was not as I have come to love in a perfect pastry. It missed that loud crunch. Wouldn't hold a candle to those in Paris, sadly. But it's Italy, and there is so much of the best pasta, pizza, gelato, and coffee that other counties can't come close to! The Baguette was really good! A slight sourdough taste, good crunch, slightly warm. More of a Italian version than French but I'd go back or have delivered again. A perfect all-butter croissant, or croissant au beurre should be the right balance of distinct thin flaky layers and a melt-in-your-mouth buttery, a hint of sweet and slightly chewy dough. It should be uniform in shape, cooked until golden and have a slight sheen with a touch of salt. Lastly, it should make a loud crunch as you bite into it leaving crumbs on your face and clothing. I've found that I can really see how the croissant will taste from a good photo. If available.

    Delicious and friendly. The Pain au chocolat was delicious! And so were the other pastries we were steered to.

    As an American student in Rome, I've been looking for a good cafe where I can study or relax for a while. I finally found this in Le Levain. It can get very full on the weekend, but during the week it's got a slow enough trickle of customers that I haven't felt rushed or crowded. The croissants are very reasonably priced and taste fantastic. Getting your food is quick, and they have an easy self-service machine for cappuccino and espresso. Not to mention there's great wifi, and it's free. This place has quickly become a favorite for me- I'd highly recommend it.

    Fantastic pastries! Good coffee from a self-service automated cappuccino machine. A must do for your morning if you're staying in an apartment in the area.

    It's a pretty little French pastry shop in Rome. Also featured in Culture Trip's top dessert shops to visit while in Rome. I would, have to say, tho, that that despite their beautiful display of baked goods, this was my least favorite shop. You see, my favorite cake is carrot cake and I had to order it...unfortunately, the cake came out a bit dry for me and the icing was not made of cream cheese (please insert sad face). That said, this shop is known for having beautifully decorated cakes and pastries as well as authentic French baguettes. I do recommend you to check the shop out and see for yourself

    This place is popping in the morning - came here on a Sunday at 9:10am and there's already a lot of people there. Seating is limited. Got the pear danish and, mini pizza, and croissant - delicious! They have fancy pastries like macarons, tarts, and mini cakes along with sandwiches which we didn't get a chance to try. You also have to make your own coffee and there's always a huge line for the machine. Highly recommend.

    Dessert - bombetti filled with apricot jam

    If you live in Rome and you haven't been here, you are missing out. Believe me when I tell you that I eat a lot of bread and pastries - bread is my favourite food. This place has it all. It's got beautiful dainty patisserie, delicious croissants and other pastries and it's got excellent sourdough bread that they make sandwiches with. Highlight is this mini 'cropizza' which is basically and Italian cronut and is super tasty. The coffee could be improved but was still pretty decent. This is a very local place and when we went on a Sunday at 11am it was full of locals buying bread and dessert for their lunch. It's down a side street so you may need to look up directions, but go! Go as soon as you can.

    So many good options we wanted to try as many as we could

    We had a 12:30 lunch reservation at Roscioli and arrived hungry a little before 12:15, hoping to be…read moreseated early. We were surprised to learn that the restaurant did not actually open until 12:30, and found ourselves with fifteen minutes to kill. Luckily, Roscioli Caffè Pasticceria was right next door. We got seated immediately, a relief given both our timeframe and our slight fatigue after a long walk from Vatican City. We got a small table on the cute little patio, and service was prompt and friendly. We told our waiter about our lunch reservation, and he made sure we were able to leave on schedule. We ordered cappuccinos, which were €3 apiece and delicious, thick with foam. I don't drink coffee at home, but after this one, I enjoyed cappuccinos every day in Italy. So cheap and tasty. The café also offers a robust food menu, and seems like a great place to get a Roscioli meal if you can't land a reservation at the popular (and amazing) salumeria. I'd recommend Roscioli Caffè Pasticceria whether or not you're also eating at the restaurant.

    If in Rome, you must eat here for breakfast, it Amazing!! I got a Cappuccino which was delicious!…read more Then a Coffee Maritozzo, it's a cream filled bun!!!! Soooo good! Then I got a Latte! We also got some toast with butter and preserves. Service was very friendly and fast. This is a must stop. We also ate at their other restaurant for dinner, look at my review on them, amazing! Ciao!
