I recently visited a café in Florence and had a wonderful experience. The coffee was excellent — we ordered cappuccinos, and they were perfectly prepared. The desserts were equally impressive; we tried the tiramisu and the chocolate cake, both of which were delicious. The café offers both indoor and outdoor seating, creating a comfortable atmosphere for any preference. Overall, it’s a great spot to relax and enjoy quality coffee and sweets in the heart of Florence.

We just needed some hot tea and a quick bite to eat. We were grateful fir the teapot of hot water...not just one cup.

Enjoyed the atmosphere. Pistachio pastry delightful. I liked the pizza. Attention of staff was ok. Some in attention when at the tables but if you waved they came over. Certain times felt like I was inconveniencing them, but I dunno if that is truly how they felt. I enjoyed the pizza. Light and fluffy. The spritzes were super tasty! Great building to be in for a break of all the busy.

Great breakfast spot, offering both classic Italian and international breakfast options. The bread "rolls" were much bigger than I expected, and quite tasty. I got the one with mozzarella and prosciutto crudo. Efficient and friendly service. Also the cappuccino was great!

Service is impeccable. Flavorful, light pastry selection is bounteous. We ordered the traditional breakfast with ham, eggs and bread and of course several pastries.

A bit touristic and slightly overpriced, but overall still a solid stop. The tiramisu here is genuinely nice and worth trying, though the espresso freddo unfortunately doesn’t quite deliver.
