When it was time for our reservation, we were moved to the dining area. It is very cute and there are minimal tables here, so I'd recommend making a reservation. However, it didn't get too packed while we were there. Pastas here were delicious, but I think the Risotto was the star of the show. We had a great time and would come back!

Shoutout to the host Gaya, who was very welcoming and pleasant along with the rest of the staff. Seated towards the back, we felt as if we had our own room in the restaurant.

We had the avocado, salmon eggs plate and the eggs benedict. Both were perfectly prepared and exactly what you would hope for in a top-tier cafe.

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.

I'd walk right by Caffe' Fossi, and made it a routine in the morning to stop for a cappucciuno and cornetto (and fresh squeezed OJ on some days). Its a short walk from Santa Maria Novella Basilica. The staff are super friendly, coffee delicious, and the large windows slide open so that it feels very open air in the nice weather. This place feels like a local coffee shop (although a fair smattering of tourists stop in). I felt at home here, and welcomed, and loved their pastry/coffee options. I can't wait to come back next fall!

The shop is just as elegant (some would say a bit snobbish, but this is a tea shop so...) and offers a great amount of choice of teas from all around the world presented in very beautiful boxes. The lady that I met this day was very helpful and nice and she helped me choose very efficiently. The prices vary from 4€ for a standard Chinese tea to 9€ for 100g of tea. La via del té has three shops total in Florence and in the other two you can seat and have a cup of tea on the spot. The via della Condotta one is only a shop. You can also buy here, besides tea, all sorts of tea pots (some very beautiful!!) and tea instruments. In brief: I highly recommend for people looking for goo quality tea!

The lines seem long, but they move quite quickly! Pro tip: choose the left line if you're ok with classic or pistachio-topped affogato. It moves much faster compared to the right line. Also you can also order gelato in that line! We came here twice during our trip here. The espresso is freshly brewed after they line your cup with gelato. It's perhaps also the priciest spot we've been in our whole gelato/affogato adventures in Italy - 6€ for classic and 9€ for pistachio topped affogato. However we thought it was worth every euro! They also have gelato options as well! I got a piccolo cup, which is 3€ and comes with 2 flavors. I got their pistachio and hazelnut flavors, and my goodness, it was the best gelato I had throughout my whole trip. The pistachio comes through very nicely without and the hazelnut packs a punch of a flavor! Also I was able to take my gelato and mix with the espresso from my affogato to try some new combinations. Must go if you're in Florence!
