    One of the best chocolate croissants I have had in my life! Great spot to get off the main tourist path and have a nice cappuccino and croissant! Excellent spot.

    A really nice and cozy little cafe restaurant in a small side street of Florence. The owner is very cordial and friendly. They have a decent breakfast deal, and their cappuccinos are quite good. A great place to chill and relax or work in some solitude.

    This small but very welcoming cafeteria is one of the few breakfast places opened since 8:00 am. Although the dishes may sound simple, they have the taste and charm of a homemade breakfast. The service was super fast and Ben greets you with a big smile :•) PS. With your tips you help Ben to achieve his dream and visit NY.

    Such a gem in Florence if you're looking for a good, quality cafe/brunch. It gets busy but we were able to find seats easily. The owner was really friendly even amidst the busyness. Definitely recommend their chocolate croissant as it melted in my mouth.

    Great breakfast options, we got avocado toast with a fried egg, cappuccino, a V60 pour over coffee, and the best orange juice I've ever had. Really great spot!

    Found it while looking around in Google map for place to eat breakfast. I wasn’t disappointed, been there two days in a row. Tasty breakfast, got the sweet Ben breakfast and mushroom omelette and the avocado toast with egg. It was cosy place with the owner serving you the coffee. Their espresso was one of the best i have tried in italy yet. Highly recommended

    Really nice place to sit in for breakfast. We had Avocado toast and scrambled eggs for breakfast along with some croissants and latte macchiato. Everything was up to the mark. Would have liked if there were different types of croissants available,.

    Ben was a 5-minute walk from our place. Still jetlagged, we slept until noon but still needed our morning coffee. It was a hot July day and we appreciated the shade and AC as well as the excellent iced lattes and pastries. The staff was patient and friendly, and we enjoyed a late breakfast. We're here for for days and may go back. The woman in line in front of me wanted a non-dairy option and was able to get an almond milk latte. I wasn't sure but they may also have had oat milk.

    Favorite breakfast spot on our whole trip to italy! Shockingly good prices for being so centrally located. We loved our 3 euro breakfasts. And the baked goods aren’t the cold stale wannabe-croissants you find all over the place in Italy. These were crispy and flavorful.

    Think I had the best coffee in my life🥹 we came here for breakfast. I had a latte macchiato, and it was super good. (I’m those who like milky coffee). The croissant ham and cheese was also really tasty and super cheap. We went there at around 9:30 and it’s already quite crowded. I recommend to all of my friends whoever is traveling to Florence

    The food was very very good. I enjoyed all I ate. It wasn't very busy. At some point they burned something (I think it was an omelette) and the cafe was filled with smoke and burned smell, but they turned on the air ventilation .

    We stopped for a quick breakfast. I liked the vibe the place but it didn’t really leave a lasting impression as the service was quite standard for an Italian café. It does have a good location and a good selection of pastries.

    Great cappuccino and delicious chocolate croissant!!!! Cappuccino was creamy (I got it with oat milk), and the croissant was fresh with the perfect mix of gooey, melty chocolate and soft, flaky dough.

👍👍 What can I say it’s the best Gelato you can ever try in Italy. I don’t usually go for popular chains and brands but this place is really really good and is up to its reputation. There is usually a line for the gelato, every flavor you chose will be very unique as if it’s the house’s special flavor....
