Barnum Café
The cup
One of the first specialty coffee bars in the historic centre, on Via del Pellegrino a short walk west of Campo de' Fiori. The bar rotates beans from European specialty roasters including Le Piantagioni del Caffè of Livorno and serves them on a La Marzocco alongside a breakfast and lunch menu. The small outdoor tables open onto one of the quieter streets in this part of the city.
