I have some extra time in the morning before St. Peter's Tour(not Vatican) tour line up for security at. Is there a coffee/pastry shop nearby to anyone can recommend? Thanks!

Hey, you are in Rome! I think by law or decree, there has to be a coffee bar every 15 or 20 steps. :) Chances are, unless it's a real bakery, the pastries are brought in anyway.

beth,
There are lots of Bars all over Rome and the St. Peter's area is no exception. Have a look at THIS map. I don't have a specific recommendation as I've found that most of them are good. As you may be aware you'll have to order at the bar.

A few blocks away, I found two: Pompi; Via Cola di Rienzo, 313, 00192 Roma RM, Italy
and Parenti; Via Ottaviano, 33, 00192 Roma RM, Italy. Both should be about a 2 minutes walk from St. Peter’s piazza. There’s also a McDonalds a block or so further that sells pastries; Viale Giulio Cesare, 199, 00192 Roma RM, Italy.

It's a little bit of a walk from the Vatican (maybe you could hit it on your way there), but Sciasia Caffe is an old-school place. Pop for the extra 10 cents to have them coat the inside of your cup with chocolate before filling it with coffee. Money well spent.

Heading to the Vatican, that coffee should be a cappuccino!
