    Cute place, loved the lavender lemon soda and wraps. The salad was dry and a bit lacking in flavor.

    Not exactly my preference for the dish that I ordered, but it was delicious nonetheless. I loved the atmosphere and the decor of the cafe, very close to the river and you can sit outside as well. Super cute and perfect for a break and snack from the heat. They have vegetarian options, maybe vegan. I did not check, they have milk alternatives.

    Very friendly and English speaking staff. The café offers plant based milk options and has a lot of vegetarian and even some vegan meals on the menu. Also they have cakes :)

    It is the RUDEST cafe in the whole Florence! We found two seats and asked to sit, the waitress said ok and gave us menu. We ordered 2 coctails but the waitress said that we should order lunch. It is a cafe, not a restaurant but if you want to sit you should order lunch! It is absurd. And the waitress did not tell us before we had sit. Then we had to leave.

    Delicious place tucked away on a side street near the river. Service was great, food was fresh and a bit lighter than the other Italian restaurants around town. I loved this place!

    We got a quick lunch, just food, no drinks as there was no soda. The wife had the tomato and mozzarella which she really liked. I had roast beef and it was very good.

    Loved the vibe! Would definitely come again. The granola bowl with fruits that I ordered was alright, nothing special. On the other hand, I was recommended to try the pear chocolate cake by the server and it did not disappoint! The cappuccino also was one of the best I’ve had in Florence yet

    We went here for a lunch during a trip in Tuscany for a break from pizza/pasta/focaccia. The salads are all so fresh and unique and the staff are wonderful. Homemade cakes, local refreshing sodas - a great spot on the river for a coffee or lunch. Outdoor and indoor seating are both lovely.

    Cozy place with good cappuccino and excellent torta di pere. The food is fresh and tasty and I like coming back here. People working here are friendly and honest.

    This place has an amazing atmosphere and is in the perfect location. I would say the prices are a bit high. As a student, this place is super convenient for an in-between class break. Overall a super fun and adorable place to check out.

  • 5/5 Joyce B. 1 year ago on Google
    Charming little place with nice outdoor seating area. Excellent food, fresh juices beer, wine, tea and specialty coffee. Excellent vegetarian and healthy options. Highly recommended.

    Somewhere I would always go if nothing else comes to my mind. Light, easy food. Drinks are quite interesting and actually used to be better quality a few years ago. It’s a place with sweet staff.

  • 5/5 Shylee E. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute spot on the river that’s inviting, cozy, and delicious. Reasonably priced, and the welcoming staff plays good music too. I’ll be back!

    Would have loved to be able to rate the food here but unfortunately I was turned away at 5.45pm even though the closing time is 6pm. The cakes and pastries were still on display, but I was not allowed to even buy them for takeaway. So I can only rate the service which is sadly 1-star.

  • 5/5 Alex G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place. Excellent coffee. Super nice people. Tasty pastries. Cozy inside and outside. My favorite in Firenze.

  • 1/5 Tara M. 1 year ago on Google
    Matcha latte is basically just milk. Youurt w granola was semi-ok, but far from good. Fresh juice tastes like a store-bought one. There are many better places to visit…

  • 5/5 Natasha S. 3 years ago on Google
    Fresh delicious foods for a reasonable price! The café itself is small, but warm and welcoming. There are a lot of options on the menu to choose from so it’s a flexible place to grab some brunch/lunch. Also great for take away. Located right next to the Arno river and not far from home✨

  • 1/5 Rubina B. 1 year ago on Google
    Take away portions are completely different from the in place consumptions. "Mixed veggies" ended up to be 4 slices of zucchini. Nice.

  • 5/5 Mark P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice Café with very good food! A cozy place in the endless floods of people in Florence :) English speaking, good lemonade, wraps, cafe, cake. Had a good time here!

  • 5/5 Olga F. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice place with good coffee and great food options. Tables outside are hidden in the small street so no noise will distract you from enjoying your food and cup of coffee. They serve matcha!

  • 5/5 Rita M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really cool place for a laid back vegan breakfast, with a view to the Arno river. The staff spoke English perfectly and made sure our group of 8 was comfortable in their small space. The blueberry vegan plumcake was very fluffy and light, and the yogurt with granola (not vegan) was delicious! They have plenty of vegan and vegetarian options for breakfast and lunch, which all look wonderful. Would recommend anytime!

  • 3/5 Stefanie G. 1 year ago on Google
    Not so "Italian" unfortunately. Delicious cake (3,50€), beautiful place, the cappuccino (2,50€ each incl service) has a normal price for Firenze, but did not taste good and everything is very touristic there. Furthermore they have only empty Cornetto/brioche (vuoto), none with crema or chocolate etc. Also, quite slow service and they speak only English to you even if you talk to them in Italian. Besides the cappuccino it's a good "hipster" café, but not what we are used to in Italy. Toilet was clean.

👍👍 The best steak restaurant in Florence. Food was really good. I ordered the set menu of Appetizer, side dishes, mineral water and the steak, and it was worth it!

👍👍 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....
