delicious but on the expensive side

really was looking forward to visit this place and was not disappointed! since we didnt find too many places that offer vegan desserts and pastries in Firenze, we were really excited to find this Cortese Café. the mango cheesecake was heavenly but the gelati seemed a bit bitter. since the prices are very high (ca. 8€ per dessert) we only tried one dessert each. all in all a good experience.

Pros: special and unique desserts, mango cheesecake, all vegan place

Cons: very expensive , gelatos are not a highlight

A must

This is a must to visit when you are in Firenze. Fully vegan, so tasty and high quality. We were searching for vegan pistachio ice cream a long time and have found it here finally.

Fully vegan gelato place!

I wasn't sure about here because I usually see 'raw' and avoid but I went in and they let me try the gelato. Omg it was amazing! I ended up getting hazelnut, cappuccino and salted cashew which was my favourite. Highly recommend.

The best gelato to ever grace my mouth

This place is f*cked ! The gelato is sent from the gods. An absolute flavour sensation. I can’t recommend the almond, pistachio and hazelnut flavours enough.
Oh wow what a time !
You can’t miss this

A favorite

Stopped here 3 times during my trip to Florence and got something different each time. They have high quality desserts and the service each time was terrific. This is a must stop if you are in Florence!

Fantastic café!

Amazing vegan cafe with almond milk, gelato, cakes, tiramisu, etc. It’s so great to have so many fantastic vegan options in a cafe. It was definitely the best cafe I’ve been to and the options were very nice. There’s also an upstairs seating area and side room seating area. Definitely worth a trip to check it out!

Pros: Plenty of vegan options , Almond milk!, Homemade gelato

Amazing gelato

Ottima location, proprio di fronte a Santa Maria Novella. Preso un cono gelato gusto lampone e cappuccino, quest'ultimo davvero davvero ottimo, e anche la cialda del cono era molto buona. Tornerò sicuramente a provare i dolci monoporzione.

Pros: Gelato is very good, Great location

Worst vegan tiramisu in my life

Had vegan tiramisu. Tasted nothing like tiramisu at all! Worst spent 7 euros in my life. It tasted like coconut milk straight out of the can. Would not go again.

Another thing is they charged us copperto 1 eur per person. You would think "this is normal in every restaurant in Italy". It was self service!! Scam

I love when people like you want to sound food expert but they don't know hot to recognize a piece of wood from a chocolate bar 😅

Our wonderful Tiramisù is made with fresh coconut milk made from scratch in our lab and not from a can, and it's written on the label of the dessert, so if you don't like coconut...you should avoid coconut, stupid!

Other than that, it's written on the menù and next to the cash that if you want to sit at the table and spend less then 7,50€, you will be charge the Coperto (Cover fee), what is not the service. In any other restaurant you pay at least 2,50€ for cover and service.

I think you are the scam, not us!

When you travel abroad you should learn some word of the language of the country where you go, or ask for translation if you are ignorant, before you open your mouth and say stupid things!

Amazing and unique sweets!

If you like sweets then you must try this cafe! The staff was very helpful and provided great recommendations. Their sweets are unique and delicious! We got the mango cheesecake (they use organic mango so it tasted incredibly refreshing), a caramel pistachio tart, and a chocolate-covered layer dessert with hazelnut mousse. You would never guess these sweets were raw or vegan because of how delicious they are! Will definitely be going back!

Must visit for every sweet tooth!

Super nice and helpful staff. The ingredients are clearly labelled and everything looks delicious. Also nice outdoor seeing area under the arches (rain proof). As I am allergic to nuts I thought they would only have something for my nut-loving boyfriend, but I was wrong. They had an amazing coconut-rasperry-avocado combo that tasted incredible. Completely glutenfree, vegan and no refined suger. Yes, their deserts are a bit pricey but they are definitely worth it.

100% visit if you are in Florence!

Pros: Completely glutenfree, vegan and no refined suger, Clearly labelled ingredients, Nice indoor and outdoor seating

Must try the tiramisu!!!

Very yummy Tiramisu 🤤🤤 bit more on the pricey side, but is to be expected as an all vegan establishment. Enjoyed my experience here! The server was friendly and talkative.

Delicious raw cookies

Heads up…I came here looking for a vegan croissant, as described in the Happy Cow description. They no longer have croissants, but they have a great selection of raw vegan cookies and deserts. The almond milk cappuccino was delicious too.

מקום נחמד למי שאוהב raw

העוגות האישיות מעולות
פחות התחברתי לעוגיות raw
גלידה מעולה
חבל שזה מקום בשירות עצמי ושהמקומות ישיבה לא כל כך נעימים ומזמינים

Pros: גלידה בטעמים טובים, Raw vegan, העוגות מעולות

Cons: יקר, אין מקום נעים לשבת בחוץ, הכל raw, רק למי שמתחבר

Very high quality

The café is pretty big with much seating space and a nice interior. They offer very delicious and well-made vegan cakes, cookies and ice-cream. We tried two different cakes together with cappuccino with almond milk and were very pleased. The staff was also very nice.
