    Blueberry muffin and plain yogurt with fruit and granola.

    Not my favorite breakfast or lunch spot in Florence but it was pretty good. staff is all super warm and welcoming and I would definitely feel special orders here if looking for a place.

    I am so in love with this place. If they had Wifi I swear I'd be here all day. Best place to come in Florence for bagels and american style baked goods. They often have special types of quiches and savory casserole dishes. But their cupcakes are awesome and I love the brownies too. The coffee (american style) is OK too, although I prefer something a bit stronger ... Besides the food, why I keep coming back is because the bakery is big and spacious, lots of seating and an outdoor seating area. Big windows, always a table available, even during rush lunch hour. Like I said IF they had WiFi I would come more often ; ) HINT HINT M Bakery! I'm not holding my breath though ... it's been more than three years and still no wifi. I love this chill place and the staff is always friendly accommodating. Gotta come here for breakfast or a late afternoon sweet snack!

    Breakfast bagel =)

    It's easy to get lost trying to find Mama's Bakery (ask me, I got lost nearly every time I went, and I lived there!), but once you find it you're glad you toughed it out. It's hard to make out from the street, right until you're standing in front of it. This was one of my go-to places for those moments when I just really, REALLY wanted a bagel sandwich or a cupcake. Or a cookie. *ahem* I went here with my girlfriends for bagels and coffee, so I have many fond memories here. A good amount of the word-of-mouth advertising is directed towards the expat community and study abroad schools, so if you're looking for a place that feels a bit more like home then look no further. Love the coffee and tea refills too =)

    Cinnamon roll and the eggs benedict.

    The eggs benedict here is amazing. I cannot wrap my mind around the fact that the best brunch I have had in Florence is from a cafe! Will be back to eat the eggs benedict again and try the french toast!!

    Delicious salmon bagel and lovely service. Cute courtyard in the back and they offer the ever important free wifi!!!

    We had the egg/cheese/ham bagel along with this chocolate raspberry muffin, deliciousness!

    Great American/Italian mix of flavor! It's hard to find somewhere where they actually sell actual breakfast, but this does! This place is pretty sweet!

    Sunday brunch at Mama's Bakery: benedict eggs + spicy carrot cupcake + cofee. The cupcake was fab, cinnamon flavoured and a delicate soft cheese cream topping...and then, a visit to Picasso exhibition. Great Sunday!!

    LOVE mama's bakery! Amazing food and such kind staff. One of my favorite places to study in Florence, and the best place to get a bagel.

    My husband and I got a Nutella bagel and a scone to share. They were both delicious! This place is super cute, clean and staff was nice.

    Good place if you're craving a bagel, and they have ground coffee not espresso. Also a variety of salads and sandwiches

    This review is long overdue for our visit back in November of 2024. I was looking up Nduja recipe…read moreand reminded myself this was the place that initiated my love for Nduja sauce. American/Aussie owned bakery brunch spot by the river, such a cute little eatery. We loved our visit and though it's definitely more of a touristy spot, as most customers spoke English, the food was delicious to forgo the tourist trappy vibes. We shared a plate and added some items as we didn't want to get too stuffed on our first day of Florence. We had the Nduja Eggs plate with bacon and avocado added. Nduja is a spicy Calabrian pepper spreadable pork sauce, and oh boy was it so flavorful. If I remembered correctly, Melaleuca spread this sauce on top of a fried bread and eggs. I don't see it on the menu at the moment and it's probably a rotatable dish... but it definitely kicked started my hunt for the sauce. Since this is a spreadable pork, it's not something I could bring back to the US but I was able to find it online back home. The service was amazing and the beverages were delicious. Like many Italian places, the dining room is small and bathroom is a single small room that might require a small wait if they're busy. Didn't get to try their baked goods this last time, but definitely on our list to go back for more when we're back to Florence for a visit.

    A gem Just around the corner from Our air bnb. Stopped in on…read moreour last day here (should have sooner!) delicious brunch and carrot cake! Oh and the mimosa!! Nice to have a real brunch, not just coffee and croissant. Service was great and the place was busy but not loud. Can't speak highly enough. Go u won't be sorry!
