Coffee Shop Fondi

coffee shop fondi takes its espresso seriously, and that alone puts it ahead of most of what you'll find in rome. the city has no shortage of bars pulling quick shots for a euro at a stand-up counter, but fondi on via milazzo operates at a different register, the kind of place where the coffee is clearly the point and not an afterthought to a pastry display. rome's testaccio and trastevere get most of the specialty attention, so finding something genuinely considered in the area around stazione termini is a small, real surprise. if you're passing through that part of the city, or staying nearby, this is worth a deliberate stop rather than a convenient one. start with the espresso.
