Although I probably could have navigated this town, I have heavily relied on Yelp to show me the best of the best. Most of the time it's worked out. This is one of those times. The people here are friendly. The flavors simple and well done. Hand made. Soft and sweet. And not too expensive. I think we paid 2 or 3 euros per person. The view of the bridge alone is amazing.

I don't know if there is bad gelato, but I haven't encountered it yet. That said, Sbrino is the…read morebest gelato I had in Florence, which puts it toward the top of the list of my favorite gelato worldwide. This tiny little shop has an inefficient system for ordering, which results in more of a line than their should be, and subsequently more of a delay than I'd like in getting the most delicious caramello gelato cone into my face. However, I find it hard to be upset with them once I am eating the gelato. Eating this gelato makes me very happy, and I would like to come back to Florence and eat it every day of my life until I die, fat and happy. (My apologies that my friend is in my photo of said gelato. It's the only photo I took of it, and I understand that no one wants to see his silly face, but I really wanted you all to see the gelato.)

Tip: fellow travelers, don't get a granita that comes out of a slushy machine. It's not the same and I have seen signs for it.

This is a solid gelato place, with pretty traditional flavors, reasonable prices and gelato that is…read morenot too sweet like the other touristy places. The flavors are ones that you'll find in most places like hazelnut, pistachio, stracciatella, chocolate, but they have some that rotate and are more unique: yogurt, cheesecake, cappuccino & oreo. They probably have around 15-20 flavors to choose from. I was boring and had the chocolate and hazelnut, and both were really delicious - not too sweet, and the right creamy texture. The prices were reasonable at 2€ for a small, then going up to 2,40€, 3€ for the cup/cone. For the larger sizes, it's 4€ for the large cup, and 6€ for the largest. It's a bit more expensive if you get it in a cone for the larger sizes. Overall, a great spot for gelato if you're in Florence. I did find my other 2 favorites close by, which I thought were better than this place (see my other reviews!)

I'd walk right by Caffe' Fossi, and made it a routine in the morning to stop for a cappucciuno and cornetto (and fresh squeezed OJ on some days). Its a short walk from Santa Maria Novella Basilica. The staff are super friendly, coffee delicious, and the large windows slide open so that it feels very open air in the nice weather. This place feels like a local coffee shop (although a fair smattering of tourists stop in). I felt at home here, and welcomed, and loved their pastry/coffee options. I can't wait to come back next fall!

From what I've seen, it tends to be more crowded in the afternoon than in the morning, and that matched my experience. The line looked long at first, but there are actually two lines you can join, so it moves more efficiently than it seems. From getting in line to receiving my affogato, the whole process took about 20 minutes. Most people grab their affogato and sit along the street to enjoy it before bringing their dishes back. It's a fun, casual atmosphere and well worth the wait if you're in the area.

I learned about Vivoli from scrolling Tik Tok one night prior to our trip. Knowing how much we love…read moreice cream and how much we love coffee, we decided to give it a whirl. We came to Florence on a cruise and probably one of the hotter days of this year. We showed up at Vivoli and clearly the Tik Tok went viral, because it was very crowded. We waited in line and it moved rather quickly. We debated on ordered the regular and the pistacchio, but decided to go with the regular affogato. Upon ordering and entering the establishment, it gave off the cutest old time coffee shop vibe. The staff was working diligently to process orders. We watched this well-oiled machine of a staff for several minutes while they passed out 10-15 affogatos within 30 seconds. We sat on the curb and enjoyed ours in the glass cups they gave us. This was a highlight for us. The creamy gelato with espresso on the spoon was perfect for a hot day. I hope this business continues to thrive and I look forward to recommending it to everyone I know heading to Florence.
