They have an outdoor window for coffee orders so we opted to order there. I decided to try one of their signature coffees and went with the Persian Love. This drink includes pistachio, latte, espresso, rose and hibiscus syrup. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it satisfied the coffee cravings!

The cappuccino was strong and the vanilla latte was yummy and sweet. We also had their avocado toast and eggs Benedict. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The barista even took time to help us figure out which coffee to take home. They also have a takeaway window if you want to take coffee or pastries to go! There can be a bit of a long wait time (because it's so good) so get there early :)

This review is long overdue for our visit back in November of 2024. I was looking up Nduja recipe…read moreand reminded myself this was the place that initiated my love for Nduja sauce. American/Aussie owned bakery brunch spot by the river, such a cute little eatery. We loved our visit and though it's definitely more of a touristy spot, as most customers spoke English, the food was delicious to forgo the tourist trappy vibes. We shared a plate and added some items as we didn't want to get too stuffed on our first day of Florence. We had the Nduja Eggs plate with bacon and avocado added. Nduja is a spicy Calabrian pepper spreadable pork sauce, and oh boy was it so flavorful. If I remembered correctly, Melaleuca spread this sauce on top of a fried bread and eggs. I don't see it on the menu at the moment and it's probably a rotatable dish... but it definitely kicked started my hunt for the sauce. Since this is a spreadable pork, it's not something I could bring back to the US but I was able to find it online back home. The service was amazing and the beverages were delicious. Like many Italian places, the dining room is small and bathroom is a single small room that might require a small wait if they're busy. Didn't get to try their baked goods this last time, but definitely on our list to go back for more when we're back to Florence for a visit.

Because of that, you may not understand we have to enter but go in where you see the books. We stopped by for lunch on a Friday and they were able to fit us in. Our first day we each ordered a Main and got a dessert. Everything was so delicious and well. Everything is vegetarian and they have lots of vegan options as well. We decided we liked it so much that we went and made reservations for the next day for lunch where we each got the special where you can get three items. Everything was so delicious and we would definitely recommend to anyone who is vegetarian, vegan or just wants delicious food.

The food was a pleasure to eat. I ordered classic egg's Benedict. I wanted my egg poached medium…read morebut I was told by an unfriendly dry as dirt Italian waitress that I could only have it runny. I then had to take a little more time to find something else. A lovely American waitress came over and helped me.(I'm not saying she's lovely because she's American, she just was really friendly) She explained that the cook makes all the poached eggs in one big pot and can't specialize one for a customer. She said they could fry it medium well and that worked for me. The other waitress offered to fry the egg or scramble it but she just wasn't friendly, and she didn't give me all the choices of how I could get the egg fried. That really helped me make my choice. The egg's Benedict came with American pork bacon and not Canadian bacon. The hollandaise sauce was deliciousness, but they give you such a small amount. They need to double it. Another reviewer mentioned how good the green hot sauce was, so I tried it. It was spot on great!! I made sure every bite had the green sauce on it. I usually only like shredded hash browns but their breakfast potatoes were perfect. They weren't hard and had a good flavor. The restaurant was clean but very small. It had a nice relaxing feel. I love to try the food of the country I'm visiting, but after traveling for two weeks it was nice to have something I eat at home. The eggs Benedict was a treat. I had the hot amaretto coffee drink and that just hit the spot and made the waiting to be seated all worth it. The had many types of milk you can put in your coffee, for example, they have soy milk, oat milk, etc. I would definitely recommend this place and come back. Oh and the less than friendly waitress served my food to me with a smile, but she never smiled again and never accepted my thank you's no matter how much I said them. Word of advice don't have a sad face if they can't provide something the way you want it if the waitress is blond and Italian. That will not go over well. You're not allowed to be quietly disappointed.

Bianca and Tan are so wonderful and treated us like family. They are so welcoming and make us feel so taken care of in Florence. They always give us extra goodies to taste and Bianca will often bring over three glasses of prosecco; one for me, one for my daughter and one for Bianca. She will take a few minutes to join us for a quick drink and to ask us how out day has been. Breakfast Love the cornetto con pistache, the folio (I think it's called) a layered pastry with crème or pistacchio. A great variety of coffee drinks including iced drinks that are delicious and appreciated in summer heat wave. Lunch I'm obsessed with la Furba sandwich. One of my daughters gets the la Ganza. The focaccia is delicious, they use a super fresh pesto, fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto and arugula. It's hot on the outside and a little cooler on the inside. Fantastico. Aperativo They offer Hugo spritz and Sarti Spritz and you can take then to go if you like. Our favorites! We try to go to café del Borgo every day now, and will be very sad to be without them when we return to the US.
