Faro brings espresso, hand brew and a full breakfast menu together on Via Piave, near Porta Pia. The counter, pastry display and seated dining area make it practical for either a coffee stop or a meal. Expect a busy room at breakfast and lunch.
Coffee
The café is linked to Aliena, its own roasting project. Espresso and filter are both central to the offer, with beans available to take home. Ask which coffees are being brewed that day; a manual brew gives you more time to compare origins than a quick milk drink.
Food
The kitchen makes pastries and serves savoury breakfast and brunch dishes. Eggs, sandwiches and sweeter breakfast plates make Faro useful when the coffee stop also needs to cover a meal.
Planning a visit
Choose Via Piave for a visit centred on coffee and baking. LUNA, the team's separately reviewed café near Barberini, offers the same Aliena connection in a different dining room. Check the current reservation arrangements if you are planning lunch.
