I recommend getting a mix of all 4 as the flavors that didn't sound appealing (orange chocolate?) still ended up tasting really great. Purchased 400gm worth which wound up being pretty affordable. The nice lady behind the counter also threw in 2 shortbread cookies for free.

Located in Soffiano, it is a totally doable bus ride on the 6, in about 20 minutes you're there. Why is it amazing? They have perfected the art of traditional Tuscan sweets, no bullshit, just sugar, and love, and whatever other drug they put in their 'mille-foglie' cakes. I highly recommend the schiacciata, cenci, sacher cake and their tasty panini, I had one with prosciutto and artichoke which was awesome. Take some to go and your life will never be the same. During carnivale season, you will see the line snake out the door as people pick up their treats, I was there for over two hours and there was a almost constant stream of people, I don't know how they could even make that many cakes! To my waistline's horror, they also serve an abundance aperitivo and weekend dish dinner. When Florentine's tell you a place in the city serves good fish, you should be listening since well, Florence is nowhere near the coast.

This Pasticceria was my first in Florence and it remains at the top of my list after all these…read moreyears. This is a quite famous bar in Florence but not so much to tourists because it is out of the historical center and in a residential area. I love this place because not only do they have amazing pastries, but the staff are the real deal, they don't fool around. Coffee is made to perfection every time. I like taking my coffee outside and enjoying the neighborhood characters who pass by, enjoying a few more rounds of coffee while I sit back and relax. I see a lot of locals meeting here, unfortunately it isn't my zona so I am not a regular, but it's definitely a spot that is worth the trek to. To me this pasticceria is the real deal!

The fresh pasta dishes are always excellent, as are the various tarts and pastries. Be sure to grab a canoli or two for 'take-away'.

Great place to stock up on food and supplies/gifts while experiencing the anarchy that is grocery shopping in Italy.
