Caffé RōM

Here comes another coffee bar in downtown Chicago. Caffé RōM, a new venture by the founder of CAFFÉ BACI. I walked by (Hyatt Center on Franklin & Monroe) the other day but I didn't go in. According to its press release, Caffé RōM serves its coffee from Caffé Umbria. It just happens the family that owns Caffé Umbria also owned Torrefazione Italia, which was later sold to Starbucks. I have never had Caffé Umbria's coffee before, but the coffee from Torrefazione Italia was decent, and they poured nice latte arts. I will go check out Caffé RōM one day, although I am more interested in its gelato.
