Tolles Ambiente

Vor dem Casa di Dante, ein relativ ruhiges schönes Cafe. Habe dort Cappuccino mit Hafermilch getrunken und einen leckeren veganen Schokokuchen gegessen. Preise waren voll okay.

Not worth it

In a city which has so many good coffee places and affordable vegan options, we strongly regretted spending our money here.
The vegan savoury breakfast was very basic and very small (e.g only comes with one slice of bread). The oat latte was just gross, somehow floury, suspected that the milk had gone bad. We didn't finish our black coffee either, which tasted like instant coffee.
Nice location on a small square and the waitress was nice and did her best with the little English she knew which we appreciated.

Pros: Nice location , Vegan pancakes on the menu

Cons: Small servings, Very bad coffee

Decent coffee and pastry

Not exactly a croissant, but they have a puff pastry filled with blueberry jam. Vegan options clearly labeled on menu.

Great cafe with not many options

We absolutely loved the coffee. It was our first coffee in Italy and our coffees back home are gonna taste underwhelming from now on.

We also had hummus on sourdough, which was served with tomatoes and rocket?. The menu isn't clear but I think you can also ask for avo.

We had fresh orange juice and a jam croissant. Both were perfect. I

Pros: Everything was really nice, Great location

Cons: Not a lot of options

Good breakfast near Duomo!

The breakfast was really nice, I got the vegana with the hummus and tomato toast, the ingredients were very fresh and had a bit of olive oil with it, the coffee is really good here, and the orange juice is delish. It was very busy though and the portion sizes weren't huge!

Super coffee, not many options for food

Great place to sit and have a really good coffee (e.g. a cappucino with oat milk). Not a lot of options for food, but had the vegan breakfast with hummus toast and it was nice.

Pros: Good coffee, Nice place to sit for a while

Cons: Not many options for (vegan) food

Cute cafe with breakfast deals for vegans

I was a bit disappointed they charged 50 cents more for my vegan croissant and oat cappuccino than their “breakfast deal” of 3 euro for a non-veg croissant and non-veg cappuccino. Not sure if it was the vegan croissant or the oat milk that coated extra. However the price was still super low and both the cappuccino and the croissant was lovely!

Loved this place!

I had a delicious bowl and coffee with almond milk. The staff was so nice and the clearly advertised vegan breakfast sounded awesome, to bad it was a little late for that. The seating area was really cozy and it was perfect to hide from the rain.

Beautiful café with good variety

For a café that caters for all there was a really nice variety of vegan food. I ordered the vegan breakfast (the peanut butter and banana toast option) and it was lovely!! I was asked if i wanted soya or oat milk in my cappuccino and the orange juice was the best I have ever tasted! The breakfast also came with a hazelnut cookie and I bought a croissant filled with blueberry jam to take away. I ate both of these the next day and they were also so tasty! If coming back to Florence I would definitely eat here again!

Pros: Friendly staff who spoke good english, Variety of vegan options, Lovely atmosphere

Very good

I had somewhat high expectations based on all the reviews here and in G Maps, and they met them! They offer a "vegan breakfast" menu that includes: plant based capuchino, fresh orange juice, and your choice of peanut butter toast with banana, or humus toast with cherry tomatoes. I had the hummus and was very good.

Underwhelming

It’s ok for breakfast but nothing too amazing, the bread is thin and the toast are nothing special. We had the hummus toast and the peanut butter and banana one.

Vegan breakfast

Offers vegan breakfast with fresh orange juice, cappuccino with plant milk and either roasted bread with hummus and tomatoes or peanut butter and banana for 12€.
That’s a fair price for a decent breakfast with the choice between savory or sweet. Ordered a vegan cookie to go during payment and even got it for free because the other vegan options like croissants were all already gone, so sweet!

Pros: Good breakfast, Nice location , Incredibly friendly staff

Great Cappuccino & Crossant

I've added this spot to my favorites. If you're taking Via dello Studio turn at the bookshop - it's a small street so you might miss it. I had a cappuccino (2 euro) and a blueberry croissant (1 euro). Both were great. The orange juice is also really fresh and delicious. I saw that they had a lot of options so I decided to return the same day for lunch. They have a breakfast meal, create your own salad, and smoothies.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Great cappuccino

Vegan croissant before climbing the copula of the dome.

They open early and so I catch a vegan blue berry croissant and a espresso for unbelievable 3 Euros. In Firenze, 5 minutes away from the dome. That’s cheap! And tasty and nice.

Pros: Cheap, In the inner city , So friendly

Cons: Not so many vegan options

Really nice and cute café hidden in the backstreet that offer vegan croissants (but know that these are sweet versions, not savory) and plant milks for drinks. The blueberry vegan croissant was good but I wish they had a savory option.
