    Fab fab fab, lovely food, friendly staff, great prices - a very handsome waiter (must've been a little unusual for him to be the 2nd most beautiful guy in the place, for once). Nice music and ambience. Love places like this. Highly recommended

    This is one of Florence's hidden gems. We ordered 2 cappuccinos, a charcutterie board and the Nutella pastry. They were all absolutely amazing, and fairly priced. Couldn't recommend more!

    had breakfast here twice and had a great experience. we would just sit at a corner table and watch the locals come by for their morning coffee and exchange pleasantries (in the very expressive italian way). the coffee was always good, the sandwiches (named after characters from the show Friends) were always tasty and good for 2 people, and the waitress always cheerful. it was the perfect place to start the day right.

    Tucked away in the neighborhood, this is a lovely spot! Stopped in for an early snack (delicious sandwiches) and a drink. Affordable and delicious! Service was fantastic. Loved the ambiance and the open air eating. Great to grab food while the other restaurants are closed (between 3 & 7). Recommend!

    La Boite really is the best of both worlds. Their coffee is great, and their cocktails at night are even better. It’s a very small space, but honestly to me that’s part of the charm. Also their charcuterie boards are out of hand good. I would highly recommend to locals and tourists alike.

    Service was great and the food and coffee was terrific. Delicious cappuccinos and espresso. Charcuterie board and sandwiches were the best we’ve had in Florence! Such a great hidden gem.

    We loved this place! It caught our eye because it was always packed. The staff was so friendly and the charcuterie plate made us come back for a second night.

    Absolutely incredible 👏 I spent all almost all my mornings drinking coffee here. I love everything about this place: service, coffee, atmosphere, space, croissants... great, great, great!

    A great experience if you like visiting the city like a local rather than a tourist. The hosts were amazing and we tried a couple of cocktails and enjoyed all of them. My own favorite is the Japanese Slipper. Great music and ambience and if you can get the sidewalk seats, then you can also enjoy the outdoor scene as well.

    The coffee was definitely the highlight here. It was strong yet creamy. Amazing coffee and the two staff there was friendly. The chocolate croissant was not bad too!

    Wonderful, rustic, corner cafe near the center of Florence. You can either stand and have a quick drink, or sit at one of six 2-3 person tables that can be combined for medium groups. It’s got such a cool, hipster vibe which was a very welcome change of pace in such a touristy hub. Service was very kind and friendly and they spoke english for me. They had free wifi available and some books to read while you visit. You order and pay at your table if you’re seated.

    I ordered the sandwich with ham, gorgonzola, sun-dried tomato and truffle. It was excellent, when a crispy crust and soft centre. Very good combination, and a large portion that is very well priced. Sadly we only found it the day we left, otherwise we would have eaten there more often!

  • 4/5 Jessica H. 9 months ago on Google • 55 reviews
    I had one of the popular sandwiches and the fruit juice (had 2). It was okay, not amazing. The inside of the shop was cute, though small. Open air, with wifi. Lots of people in and out for cappuccinos. The staff was sweet and could help in English. Paid with card.

    Really cute place with great vibes. The cappuccino was the best I had in florence and the sandwich was fresh and nice. I will definitely revisit when I have the chance.

    It’s hard to find a restaurant that’s open on a Sunday morning. Finally we found this little restaurant, so that might have partially contributed to our super positive experience here. It’s such a nice small local place that sits about 10 ppl. The small charcuterie board was actually quite big in size. the mozzarella was full of the aroma of fresh milk and offers a nice chew. The cured meats are super tasty and the walnut with honey and cheese on bread gave a wonderful combination of textures

    Enjoyed an amazing charcuterie board, wine and salad in this cozy space with cool art and rustic tables. Cappuccino the next morning was perfect. Inviting owner, great music, super vibe.

😐 Not gonna lie, this is probably the most underwhelming Eataly location I've ever visited. Eataly locations are usually grandiose with impeccable service, but this one felt like a little corner store in Disneyland.
