    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!!

    November 9, 2024 2:30PM…read more It does appear they have two stalls on the same street that you can order from. One side seemed to have more alcohol on display and the side I was on was more sandwich focused, but I'm pretty sure you can order the same things from both windows. Initially I was going to get the 21 - Fresh Sausage and Eggplant because I'm an eggplant lover... the lady at the counter was kind enough to let me know that the fresh sausage is actually rare, uncooked sausage and gave me a small piece to try. I was getting ready to get on a train that day and didn't want something that might not sit well with me, so I moved on to number 27 spicy salami and cream cheese. My partner got the number 1, ham, cream cheese and rocket salad. Both are very good sized and oh so delicious. The line moved quickly, so many options for decision paralysis. This is the place for schiacciate Florentine as recommended from friends who used to live here. Definitely would recommend to study up their menu before coming so it's easier to pick what you want. This is more of a stall and you grab and go, we stood around the sidewalk and inhaled our sandwiches. Watch out for the pigeons getting ready to take your crumbs too, you can see them on the ledge of the building getting ready to attack. A must visit for Florence.

    Owner is racist, as he took away my seat and chair while I was eating and gave it to a European…read morecouple. I am an Asian female. ***updated 2025 post- I showed the owner and pointed at my boyfriend who was in line multiple times that we were purchasing food. *** updated 2023 post - Apparently my post was blocked because the owner of the store tried to cover my true experience. Racist owner randomly took my table and chair while I was eating on it to give to a Caucasian European couple. l'm an Asian female by the way. I showed him that my boyfriend was waiting in line to purchase food and constantly assured him we were using them and that we were buying food. He still took my table and chair and said I'll give you another one- to which it down graded to eating off 3 short chairs. I told the European couple that it wasn't fair that the server took our table to give to them and they just smiled and dismissed me. Racism at its finest. Their sandwich is not good. Actually the sandwich shop across the street I' Grone De Ghiotti is way better with service and sandwich taste. Sadly I don't think this post will change the attitude of the owner.
