During a 5 week stay in Italy, I stopped here to purchase some yummy desserts for a dinner party at…read moremy Italian friend's home. I selected this bakery because it had good reviews and was only a couple blocks from my apartment. When I arrived at my friend's with an armload of Mama's goodies they said, "Oh, you went to the American bakery!" Me : Huh? I did? Of course I (an American) had somehow stumbled into probably the only American bakery in Florence. (To be fair, they may bake a lot of American style treats, but it is staffed and frequented by mostly locals. The cashier graciously went and found the one staff member who spoke English to help me. Very kind.) I had ordered about a dozen different items - cookies, brownies, pies - and we all had a great time sampling them after dinner. Every single one was absolutely delicious! B O T T O M L I N E : Go! Cozy spot, lots of seating, great food, and friendly staff!

Apparently they do a coffee school or you can book out a barista for 90 mins for 70 Euros for a 2 person session, so it would be a great experience for coffee lovers. Got the matcha latte which is made with ceremonial matcha and also got an iced lemon tea. Both were 10/10 and absolutely would get again. Plus, they have really nice bathrooms equipped with a baby changing table!

You can smell samples to find your favorite or flip through the impressive menu. You can order a cup of tea or buy loose leaf to take home. Loose leaf tea is sold by weight (grams), and the prices were very fair. I spent roughly €13 on 150 grams of tea and one tea tin (€3) that held 50 of it. (The rest went into provided containers.) All of it traveled home well and made for tasty tea times! The shop also has a variety of chocolates and tea cookies. Everything looked amazing! And the owner was so warm and welcoming. I will make OroNero a must visit on my next trip to Florence and if you're a tea drinker, you should, too!
