This place opens early and has the very best strong lattes & great location (corner of College & Ashby).

So sad to see you go, Roma! I have to write a special review to say goodbye to Espresso Roma – a landmark on the corner of College and Ashby. I’m not sure how long Roma has been there – the first Yelp review was written in 2006, but it’s the kind of place that many people don’t bother reviewing, so it may be there longer than that. Coincidentally, I moved into the neighborhood in 2006 so it has always been my local (along with The Beanery, which sadly closed a few years ago). I’m not sure if it’s official yet, but I know that Roma is about to serve its last espresso. To all the folk who have worked there (both the kind ones – hey Alvaro and Maria! - and the grumpy ones), to the lovely folk who played piano and sung in the afternoons, and to the other customers who came to Roma on a regular basis: FAREWELL! I’ll miss those days of working remotely at Roma and hanging out with the wide selection of peeps who found themselves there. The book clubs, the musicians, the people learning Chinese and Spanish, the Dungeons and Dragons groups, the tutors and tutees, the eccentric academic types chatting up students one third of their age, the Boggle group, and of course Kim, waiting for her usual table at the back.

The food is mediocre, the wifi constantly cuts out, and the building seems a bit run down and neglected. If you wanted to come here in hopes of studying, I'd recommend going somewhere else
