    Niche bookshop with a very dark atmosphere. Beautiful environment and careful choice of books on offer. I stopped going there and buying from it because of the staff: really unpleasant. It seems like you're spiteful by coming in. There is no greeting either when entering or leaving, never a thank you, a smile, always sulky, dry and rude answers every time. They make me want to go there -

    Amazing, quirky bookshelf with a completely unique collection of achingly cool looks that you just won't find anywhere else. So nice in a world of vanilla corporate bookstores.

    Welcoming place and with a really well-curated choice of books and comics, you can find particular editions that we often don't see in the more "famous" circuits. Dogs are welcome, you can have a hot coffee or tea at the table or sunk in an armchair!

    This place was right across from our air bnb. A cute spot to read or buy a book, grab a coffee and look at art. You can also buy the local art they have there which is a nice option. The coffee was ok, the staff was nice. Definitely not your normal coffee shop but a cool spot to hangout at for a little bit.

    Unusual books in a nice, peculiar environment. With great teas and coffees. If you do not like the common places, this is a nice place to visit in Florence. My favorite place for a dark book and some chatting with the friends at tea time.

    Great small bookshop/teahouse/minibar that also sells good alcohol at very honest prices. The book selection is great and the owners are very knowledgeable and friendly. You will most likely find that quirky book that you've been looking for or you'll find unexpected gems. There's also a small but very well curated selection of records too.

    Really cool little bookshop come coffee shop. Nice ambiance and off the beaten track location means that it's not overrun with tourists. Reasonably priced and not overly commercial. My only criticism would be that the owners seem like they would rather you went somewhere else! But once you get over that it's a nice place to escape to.
