Sant' Eustachio Il Caffè has looked the same for as long as anyone can remember. Steps away from Piazza Navona, this Roman institution is arguably Rome's most famous coffee shop, famed for its home-roast beans, which are blended with water from an ancient aqueduct.

In addition to the different types of coffees, they also serve the "gran caffè", a cappuccino without milk, where the coffee is foamed instead.
