The food was a pleasure to eat. I ordered classic egg's Benedict. I wanted my egg poached medium but 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. read more

A little of the usual path, Yelp! recommended this place and was happy to have tried it. The place is 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! read more

First time while visiting in Florence. Small little place but amazing service and food. The Bloody Mary was amazing and nice and spicy. We all had the Logan breakfast burrito and it was so delicious! It was loaded with avocado, eggs, cheese, and Polish sausage. It also includes a side of nicely oven roasted potato wedges that were wonderful. They also had a delicious green verse hot sauce that was great to add to the burrito. Our server spoke perfect English and was very responsive and friendly. Highly recommend this place for breakfast! read more

Yummy, casual, table service brunch--mostly American style breakfast items but so fresh and so good! One of the better cappuccinos I've had in Italy. Unless you get there right when they open, you'll likely have a wait, but usually no more than 30 minutes. We got the La Vespe granola bowl and Parkdale with a cappuccino and Americano. read more

Look no further for one of Florence's greatest brunch and cafe experiences! I was immediately impressed by this shop's hip and quaint vibe, and felt right at home (as a tourist hailing from Seattle) thanks to the tasty coffee (served from a La Marzocco Linea PB), attentive and friendly staff, INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS breakfast food options, and of course the trad tatted mascot that adorns their cups and tote bags. My visit was a highlight of my trip, and though I didn't have to wait for a table, I wouldn't hesitate to commit the same "totally worth it" review if a queue had formed. Shops like this deserve the recognition, your patience will be rewarded! read more

The wait staff is very kind, the service is fast, and the food is delicious. If you are looking for more of an American breakfast in Florence you should make it this place. The breakfast potatoes, bacon, iced latte, and eggs are great. The pancakes and bagel is pretty good too. I want to try the burrito, it looks amazing. It is very cute inside, and they also have outdoor seating. It seems to also have better wait times than Rooster Cafe. read more

This place is amazing! Great if you're looking for American breakfast/brunch. My friends and I come here all the time on the weekends and although it may seem very busy, the service is very fast so you will be seated in no time. The food also arrives extremely fast to the table and they serve you tap water for free! You can't go wrong with what you order and it is extremely easy to make an order vegetarian if you don't want meat. Additionally, the iced coffee and iced matcha latte is incredible and is served very quickly. There's outdoor seating for when it's nice out and the inside is a little big, but not too big. read more

Le Vespe Cafe is a great little breakfast spot, Europe in general does not have very many breakfast places other than a pastry. And this place was absolutely delicious, we wish that we found it earlier in our trip! The orange juice was freshly squeezed, and we ordered the Via del Leone & the Via dei Neri.. both were FANTASTIC! Obviously it was so good since we didn't let our phones eat first, we just dove right in.. sorry for the half eaten photos, but after we tried how yummy it was we needed to snap a quick pic (better than the picture I promise)! If you're craving a great breakfast spot with good service I would recommend here 1000%. Oh and I almost forgot, they gave us a really cool postcard to remember them by or to send home to our family which is what we ended up doing! read more

Really enjoyed this little American style brunch just down the way from Duomo. Atmosphere is quant but cozy. Coffee was very good and lots of options to suit your American or European tastes. My daughter brought me here for the hot sauce which is house made and currently not for sale to take home. It was delicious and fresh. Not what I expected while visiting Florence but no complaints whatsoever. read more

Favorite breakfast/brunch spot in Florence hands-down! The staff here is so freaking friendly, and their food is AMAZING!!! Their breakfast potatoes are lovely, and their hot sauce is actually VERY spicy (a rarity in Florence)! The cafe made me feel like I was back home, and was a nice little break from the typical florentine breakfast (although I love that as well). Great place to go if you're craving a bigger breakfast! read more

Amazing breakfast/brunch spot! The vibes are great and the food is even better. The service was fantastic as well.

Very rude service. Had us wait outside while we saw people Come out and then same number of party let in before us. We had already been told to wait outside and were* sitting outside for approximately 15 minutes. We felt very stupid standing outside with our kids in the cold waiting for a table as they let in people that just arrived. There were also enough seats outside but were told there's no room inside or outside. Literally could have put two tables together to accommodate us like other places would have. Was it because we have kids with us, was it discrimination? I don't know, but we ended up leaving and having breakfast down the street in an mom and pop cafe where we were treated with respect. spendi i tuoi soldi in un'azienda di proprietà italiana. questo è un american cafe che ovviamente discrimina alcune persone. vai invece in un bar locale a conduzione familiare dove sarai trattato con rispetto Si tienen, niños, no coman aquí. No se si ese fue el problema pero obviamente no querían que entremos. Avían sillas vacías afuera y todavía nos dijeron que no avía espacio. Hay otros lugares con dueños locales que valen la pena. Este lugar es solo para Americanos read more

Ate breakfast here our last morning in Florence since it was near our AirBnB. Came early (9:30) and there was no wait. We ordered pancakes + sausage and the eggs+bacon+homefries plate. We have been eating fruit and cereal for breakfast in our AirBnB so this was our first breakfast out in the week we spent so far in Italy. Food was good! Pancakes were above average and the meal definitely hit the spot for an American breakfast. Scrambled eggs were...interesting-very yolk-y and at first I thought they had cheese in them but they just had chunks of yellow. Bacon and sausage were tasty and I liked the salad that came with the eggs. I enjoyed the cleanser juice and overall the space is cute. Service was just okay. I don't believe our server ever checked on us during our meal but was still pleasant. I would recommend if you are feeling nostalgic for a traditional American breakfast. read more

Food was good and everyone was very friendly. We went around 11 and waited about 30 mins. It was well worth it.

I only have positive things to say about our experience. Wonderful food, ambience, and service. I had the dundas (tofu scramble wrap) and my boyfriend had the bloor (blt with avocado) which both came with some delicious salad and potatoes. I cannot stress enough how both our dishes were amazing and we definitely recommend these dishes. I also had the deep cleaser which is a very refreshing green drink. Great place for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans! We will be returning read more

The Bathroom didnt have a lock, you had to keep your foot propped to keep it closed. The restaraunt was tilted so the door would keep sliding. There was a window in the toilet pointing to the kitchen and it was open, acouple times a big chef who was bald and had a scar on his face would creep up to the window and go "BA LA LA LA LA" making a face and yelling at me. And the other time, a guy who looked almost identical to the short lead chef in the movie ratatouille tried to politely open the door but i closed it with my foot in time and said "occupied" very calmly, he then became very aggressive and violent and began to tug on the door with all of his might. I kept stopping the door with my foot until i had to drop a huge load so i kind of twitched which took my foot away and the door flew open and he flung himself towards me but luckily security grabbed him before he touched me. There was no flush on the toilet, there was a large stick you had to use to push your fecal matter down under the toilet. And frequently, rocks would float up from the toilet and poke my behind. My glutes were very scratched. The faucet was a pedal controlled sink, little did i know it was broken and the pedal was just a lever that notified the chef I was off the toilet and he came and retrieved me. Overall not a good experience and I didnt even try the food. Thank You. read more

I lived in Florence for 4 months and Le Vespe Cafe was hands down my favorite spot to go in the city and one of my top 3 meals I ate in Europe. The Iced Coco Caffe is the best coffee I've had in Europe. The Via del Leone breakfast burrito + potatoes are phenomenal. When you go, you may have to wait outside for about 20-30 minutes before being seated. Worth the wait. A must if you're traveling to Florence and near the Santa Croce area!! I do not typically write reviews but this place is the best!! For travelers - you'll get a post card with your check that you can take home!! read more

This place was a great find among the pastry-heavy Italian breakfast options this morning. The staff is friendly and accommodating and the good is really good and seems fresh.

After a week abroad, we were jonesing for some good ol' American breakfast. Eggs seems to be hard to come by in Italy (or just not popular?), so we were excited to find this place! We each ordered a cappuccino, and my hubs chose the Annex for his meal. I opted for the Parkdale. Both were absolutely delicious! Eggs were fluffy and I really appreciated the light salad served alongside the eggs and home fries - I'm always thankful to find greens when we're traveling abroad, because by that point I've inevitably spent days eating the local fare and desperately need veggies. The dressing was delicious, too! By the way, definitely bring your appetite - this meal was closer to American sized portions, rather than Italian sized ones. Service was lovely and prices were right. Be sure to leave a tip - it's noted on the receipt (or menu? It was noted somewhere...) that unlike most of the rest of Italy, tip isn't included in the bill. We would definitely return, next time we're in Florence :) read more

The wait is punishingly long. And if you are in the queue, they seat their friends ahead of you regardless. But I suppose if you ran a cafe this size, you would tend to patronize your long term customers over visiting tourists I suppose. So, I have given them a pass on that. I found myself here again as it was in the vicinity and the reputation among the locals is that this is a tourist trap, but I found the cafe decent enough. And they have English and speak English which is a huge plus in my book! So, all in all, smoothies, eggs, spicy sauce and a Day long breakfast until they close at 3:00 pm, by all means, I recommend! read more
