Coffeebreak
Babington's tea room occupies a prime spot at Piazza di Spagna next to the Spanish Steps, and has built its reputation over more than a century on unique tea blends rather than coffee. Reviewers rave about the food and describe the tea as spectacular, though the experience comes at a cost, with a cup of tea running around 14 euros. The cheesecake gets a specific mention for being incredibly light, and with a 4.1 rating from nearly 1,400 reviews and booking recommended, it suits a special occasion stop rather than a casual coffee break.

What people say
"Lovely tea room right next to the Spanish Steps. Beautiful and unique tea blends, but very expensive (€14 for a cup of tea). The cheesecake was incredibly light and delicious. Service could be warmer — it felt a bit indifferent toward tourists. Worth a visit for the quality, just be prepared for the price."
