My husband and I were in Italy for our honeymoon and on our stop in Florence, we were walking…read morearound getting acclimated to the city when we stumbled upon Forno Canapa. We saw what looked like the most delicious pastry we had ever seen in the window, went inside, ordered it and proceeded to devour the absolute best pastry on this Earth. Sound like a hyberbole? It's not. In the 3 days we were in Florence, we ate this pastry 3 times. By our 3rd time in, the nice women who worked there let us know when they closed in case we would be back. We would have been, but our train to Venice was on a Sunday and they sadly are closed that day. We can't remember what the pastry was called but we took a picture of it. Here is my tip, buy a ticket to Florence, go to Forno Canapa, show them this picture and buy this pastry.

A Cake Shop well known for Fruit Tarts, but also well-regarded for Cookies and Schiacciata, those arriving early will be happy to find items such as an hourglass shaped Pastry with Custard still warm while "Torta di Riso" takes on a different look thanks to a crisp Shell filled with Rice Pudding. Not far from Piazza Santa Croce, a solo clerk slowed by multiple guests at 09h00, those not in the mood for a large Strawberry Tar should direct their attention to Viennoserie filled with Jam or a textbook Cornetti about to burst with Cream.

They begin the day with everything from classic cornetti, to croissants, to whole wheat or even multigrain varieties, ham and cheese sandwiches, cinnamon raisin rolls, danishes, donuts, turnovers and cookies. Obviously the pastries are of the Italian, not American style. I often feel that when writing reviews in English, something really does get lost in the translation. I digress. The coffee is amazing. At lunch they offer a whole spread of pastas, vegetable dishes, meats, fish and sandwiches. It's antipasto bar or tavola calda style, where you choose from food that's already freshly prepared and displayed. The prices are fixed by dish (primo, secondo, contorno) and range from about 5-8euro. For aperitivo they offer one of the most abundant buffets in the area, and the cocktails (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) are refined and super tasty. You tell them if you want something sweet, fruity, dry, your favourite flavour, etc and they surprise you. They have a nice selection of wines and prosecco available as well. Beware, they close at 8:30 sharp so get there early to really enjoy the buffet.

This is for sure a local favorite as when my sister, niece and I visited at 10am it was bustling with the energy of local Italians. They move quickly and efficiently during the rush so come prepared to order exactly what you like and they will get it for you promptly. There is a small room in the back with 3 tables to accommodate a few guests who prefer to drink and eat their treats in house. You pay at the counter and then take to the back. It's a fast vibe but so worth fumbling through your order as the items are delicious.

Pers are welcome. The staff is amicable and easy going.... We ordered at the counter. Walked one of the small rooms on the back with our coffee and pastries --- and ALL good. When we were done.... Someone came to clean the dishes from our table and we walked back to the main room (where we had originally ordered and gotten our food) to pay. All we had to do was tell the lady what we had ordered previously (90 minutes earlier) she added it up and gave us a total. We paid with a card. Loved the pastries!!!! The chocolate is REAL! This is a must try.
