We saw what looked like the most delicious pastry we had ever seen in the window, went inside, ordered it and proceeded to devour the absolute best pastry on this Earth. Sound like a hyberbole? It's not. In the 3 days we were in Florence, we ate this pastry 3 times. By our 3rd time in, the nice women who worked there let us know when they closed in case we would be back. We would have been, but our train to Venice was on a Sunday and they sadly are closed that day. We can't remember what the pastry was called but we took a picture of it. Here is my tip, buy a ticket to Florence, go to Forno Canapa, show them this picture and buy this pastry.

They begin the day with everything from classic cornetti, to croissants, to whole wheat or even multigrain varieties, ham and cheese sandwiches, cinnamon raisin rolls, danishes, donuts, turnovers and cookies. Obviously the pastries are of the Italian, not American style. I often feel that when writing reviews in English, something really does get lost in the translation. I digress. The coffee is amazing. At lunch they offer a whole spread of pastas, vegetable dishes, meats, fish and sandwiches. It's antipasto bar or tavola calda style, where you choose from food that's already freshly prepared and displayed. The prices are fixed by dish (primo, secondo, contorno) and range from about 5-8euro. For aperitivo they offer one of the most abundant buffets in the area, and the cocktails (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) are refined and super tasty. You tell them if you want something sweet, fruity, dry, your favourite flavour, etc and they surprise you. They have a nice selection of wines and prosecco available as well. Beware, they close at 8:30 sharp so get there early to really enjoy the buffet.

They have a wide variety of baked good including sandwiches with their fresh baked bread. We were looking for an afternoon snack so had our eye on the Schiaciatine, which are mini bread things that had toppings on them. We got a bag full for around 7 euro. What a deal! We got some with olives, sausage, tomato sauce, pesto, and artichoke on them. They were good, but the crust was not as soft as I would have liked. It was a little bland for me as I like a little boldness and spice. that said, it filled us up and got us through the next part of the day sight seeing.

The Schiaciatine (small little focaccia type breads of local origin) are absolutely incredible, and an incredible deal to match. The homemade toppings are awesome and are made with high quality ingredients such as mushrooms, artichokes, leeks, fresh mozzarella and sausage, to name a few. Additionally, not only can you get a fresh, delicious panino, but they offer incredible sweets that will blow your socks off with or without a creamy cafe latte. We highly recommend to visit this place at the very least once while in Florence. If there was a six star rating, we would give it.
