Café de Rome has been a fixture on Boulevard Latrille in Cocody for years, drawing a steady stream of residents and office workers for its bakery counter of French pastries and Lebanese-style sweets alongside strong espresso drinks. The menu extends beyond coffee and pastry into light breakfast plates, sandwiches, and salads, making it a workable stop from early morning through the evening.
