    Affocato pistachio
    Megan O.

    We came for affogatos and LOVED them! They were soooooooo tasty! We tried the affocatos at the famous one down the street a few days ago but these were just as tasty while also being cheaper with no wait time. They even gave us a choice on what gelato we wanted. I got pistachio and my husband got vanilla. We will definitely be coming here from now on!

    I was here to have their Affogato with pistachio gelato. They made it in front of me. See the video. Pistachio gelato had a great taste and nutty flavor. Strong and bold flavor from espresso was a good combination with the gelato. It was a great traditional Italian coffee-based dessert with a contrast of cold sweet gelato and hot espresso combined. They have small tables to sit down and eat their dessert outside. Service was great and fast even though there were a lot of people. I was happy to get their Affogato fast instead of waiting in long line like other places I observed in Florence.

    I quite enjoyed this place! I thought for sure that anyplace this close to the Piazza de Santa Croce would be tourist crap that I had come to expect in places like this. Surprisingly, price-wise and flavor-wise, this cafe turned out to be one of the best we visited in Florence. Service was quick and the downstairs seating was private and cool. For a place that's facing Santa Croce, I doubt you'll find a better option.

    Some of the yummy selections

    If ever in the Piazza de Santa Croce I definitely recommend this cozy little place they are warm and welcoming they have lots of good food (small bites) to choose from I advise you to ask for their recommendations you won't be disappointed. We asked what they like and they gave us some really great eats. We had something with sun dried tomatoes and mortadella and spicy salami and some pizza with pepper and potatoes and another with a bacon something (everything in my opinion is great with bacon ) also if it's pouring rain and you pop in for shelter make sure to grab a slice or two as you wait for the rain to stop hahah

    Chicken panini

    Five stars due to the fact that they are fast, friendly, clean, accommodating, and affordable. Sandwiches are pre-made. Panini presses are used to heat them up. Their coffee is decent.

    Le Vespe Cafe - Avocado, salmon and eggs were brilliant. They had a hint of orange or mango citrus, making for a wonderful experience.

    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.

    A little of the usual path, Yelp! recommended this place and was happy to have tried it. The place…read moreis classic, the service was of the best, and the food was excellent. 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 eggs had a hint of orange citrus that added to the joy of the meal. This super comfortable, clean restaurant with fantastic service and food will be on our best-of-best list in the future!

    We have been in Florence for two weeks and have tried lots of cafés for breakfast and lunch. Café…read moredel Borgo is our favorite for a number of reasons: The people! 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.

    There was really nothing to write home about here for the food. My ham sandwich was adequate and…read morethe chocolate croissant was good. What really stood out were the workers. Extremely nice and pleasant to interact with and helped get us everything we needed. I'm gonna give this place a whole extra star just for being able to help store our luggage while our Airbnb wasn't ready. It was truly a life saver and really not too expensive at all.
