Babington's tea room

Babington's tea room in Rome is a charming and historic place to stop for a break. Established in 1893, this traditional English tea shop is located at the foot of the Spanish Steps in the Piazza di Spagna. It has a range of its own tea blends, plus breakfasts, sandwiches, afternoon tea, desserts, and more. The decor tries to keep the original setting and waitresses are dressed in old-fashioned aprons and uniforms. The service is good but slow, and the food is delicious. Prices can be steep, but it's worth it for the experience. The 125th anniversary tea and cake is especially recommended. It's a perfect place to rest and relax after walking the steps in a hot summer day.
