At which point the lady behind the counter decided to stop serving and run to the bathroom to ask in a very accusatory tone "can I help you" at which point I said "not yet I'm going g to wash my hands and by right with you". Get response was "no not until you buy something". Atmosphere became a little hostile and certainly lowered my impression of the place. Not something I have felt elsewhere in Florence. This alone was enough for me to leave. There are better attitudes and nicer places to go all around. Stay away is my advice.

The former was a blend of taro paste, sago, and boba in a light but creamy soup. The latter was a mix of lychee jelly, fruit pieces, shaved ice, and aiyu jelly in juice. Refreshing, light, and not too sweet--perfect for an after-dinner summer treat. I would absolutely go again if we had time!

If the espresso bar side is closed, you can go to the gelato side and they have the pistachio and orignal there as well. The full menu is only available at the espresso bar.

I heard about Vivoli from a couple of tourists whom I was standing in line with at one of…read moreFlorence's historical sites. I later saw a video about the same spot on Instagram. The seed was planted, so I made it a point to check out Vivoli when I was in the Saint Croce neighborhood. There appeared to be 3 queues at Vivoli: one for the cafe/bistro, one for the gelateria, and one specifically for affogato. I think it was possible to get the affogato from the first queue, but I stood in the affogato only line just to make sure. The queue moved pretty quickly. I probably waited around 15-20 minutes to place my order, which I did on a self-serve automated kiosk. I gave my ticket/receipt to a barista after paying, and then she started working on my drink right away. The process of making the affogato was very fast, and it was fun to watch. I noticed that unlike a regular affogato back in the USA, which is typically one big gelato scoop, Vivoli fills half a cappucino sized cup with gelato and then adds scoops around the edges to form a square shape. I got pistachio, so the gelato gets dipped into chopped pistachio bits. (The pistachio bits did add a nice texture.) Lastly, fresh espresso was poured in. Vivoli had a counter that could fit about 3-4 standing persons. Other than that, there's no where to sit inside the affogato storefront. Mostly everyone else tried to find a spot outside to enjoy their affogato. Although I did enjoy my affogato, I didn't find it particularly different than one I've tried back at home. It was just the prettiest.
