    French toast
    Kristen L.

    We were excited to find an American owned establishment that serves mainly eggs and protein. We couldn't pass up the French toast, which was amazing, we had the meat lovers omelette, and the eggs. The mocha and latte were fabulous as well. A+ will definitely come here again.

    An English breakfast which includes corn on the cob!

    Sometimes when you are in a beautiful city you just have to have a little taste of home. My daughter who has been studying in Europe for 5 months suggested to go to a place called The rooster Cafe. This place is located in Florence Italy and has a sister restaurant called The rooster restaurant. The cafe is smaller. The cafes located down and Allie and you simply wait outside the owner will come outside ask you how many people are in your party and we'll see you according to the available tables and the number of people so just because you're first in line doesn't mean you get sat next. It can hold maybe 20 people tops and four people at the bar. It is a breakfast and lunch place and that's exactly what we were there for was breakfast. My daughter ordered a traditional English breakfast which comes with baked bean and corn on the cob. I ordered your traditional eggs bacon and potatoes the bacon is not like American bacon it is truly British bacon it's like a piece of ham that's halfway cooked but it's still delicious don't get me wrong. Of course they make fantastic cappuccino and don't even bother asking for American coffee they'll give it to you but you won't like the look that you get! If you can deal with the weight we did wait about 20 minutes for our table which is no big deal the weather was fine and you could explore which was nice. Lots of students and tourists were in the area but fortunately since this place is out of the way a little more than others it was not bad. The only major gripe was because we sat by the door there was no breezeway and the cold air went right down your back. Otherwise perfect 10 out of 10 will go again

    We just had the best breakfast here since we arrived in Florence a month ago! It was arguably the best breakfast I have had anywhere! Sure, the Rooster Cafe caters to Americans but it was comforting to have a taste of home. This place is small but very cute. We sat at the bar which were the only seats available. But this worked out well for us because we could chat to the nice guy working the drinks and we could see the cooks in action. My husband and I shared a couple dishes. I ordered the Florentine Benedict (2 poached eggs, english muffin, sautéed spinach, smoked salmon, hollandaise sauce, roasted potatoes) and it was outstanding! The eggs in Italy are different (better) than back home- the yolks are a deeper golden color and "rich" tasting. And the potatoes were very creamy on the inside! So yummy! My husband had the Bella Blueberry Pancakes and they, too, were delicious! Other positives: free WiFi, free water, free bathroom. We will be coming back soon!

    Breakfast and lunch

    Walked to the Rooster Cafe from our hotel. They could seat 20 at the tables and six at the counter. We waited 5 mins and then sat at the counter. My wife, who doesn't eat much, got a cup of decaf, hash browns and sausage, while I got a rooster special (smoothie) and the Hash. It all came to $30 euros. Our drinks arrived promptly and breakfast in another 10 mins. The Hash was huge, but very good. It was a pile of eggs, with spinach, bacon and onions smothered in cheese. I couldn't finish it. We will be back tomorrow.

    Good food, good service old school hospitality very nice. refreshing and a nice place to just simply re-energise.

    Florentine Benedict - delicious!
    Marivic R.

    I had a Florentine Benedict which was excellent. My son had the English breakfast which he said was just ok. The Rooster shake special was excellent and coffee was ok. The waitstaff was bit harried but he was totally fine. It's a cute place. Unless you crave an American type breakfast I'm not sure I'd stand in line again and wait.

    Avocado toast, eggs, and iced vanilla latte

    Great food and drinks! Big menu, friendly staff, and fabulous iced coffee. Cute decor as well inside. Overall a great spot! Both locals and tourists inside.

    Chicken and Waffle
    Tania G.

    Chicken and waffles is amazing! Service was great and ambiance friendly. Coming back soon!

    French toast special with side sausage.
    Elizabeth S.

    If you are looking for a hearty and light meals that is outstanding, this is the place. Highly recommend their French toast special and avocado toast. Excellent customer service. Flavor and presentation are five star.

    I had the French toast
    Nicole M.

    French toast with fruit on top. A couple of slices of bacon. I had a strawberry banana smoothie. Our server was amazing. Very friendly. We all loved our breakfast. The restaurant is adorable and very clean.

    Tiny restaurant, worth the wait outside. Staff was attentive, and the menu was elective enough to accommodate us both. Excellent!

    Iced Caramel Latte
    Joy R.

    First time in Florence, this is your best breakfast you boast about back home. The stoner version of chicken and waffles is enough for two and the coffee is to die for. They have quick service so the line shouldn't deter you from sticking around. The open kitchen shows you they take their food serious and it comes out perfect. Five stars

    Mocha

    This was one of the worst breakfast experiences I have had since being in Florence. We waited 45 minutes to be sat for a group of 4 due to the lack of seating they have. Then we waited another 30-45 minutes for someone to take our order and we ended up having to flag someone down and beg to take our order. Our food came out wrong and my family enjoyed their food, but my was terrible. There was one person working and he was very nice. He is not to blame the owners are. Will not be returning. Go to Melaleuca instead.

    Shitty bagels and typically slow service. But the omelets were good and we are used to NYC bagels.

    Awesome staff and great food. Really small location and tables are pretty cramped. The positive attitude from the staff made up for it.

    Awesome place for brunch! The vibe is like a small brunch cafe in US. Staff was kind and friendly. Eggs benedict were delicious.
