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!

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.

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.
