Confeitaria Roma

Located in the bustling heart of Porto at Rua do Heroismo 100, Confeitaria Roma is a charming cafe that caters to both locals and travelers seeking a delightful pause in their day. Known for its strong coffee culture, this café specializes in expertly brewed espresso and offers signature Portuguese treats that perfectly complement every cup.
