    Avocado 'Toast' on Sweet Potato
    Ajay P.

    Great number of vegan food options. I got the avocado toast on sweet potato instead of bread. I thought it was going to be sweet potato bread but it was actually on a baked sweet potato. Very tasty!

    Good place for a quick fresh squeeze juice and pastry before starting your day! We had the juices - all freshly squeezed in front of you.. the Mixed Berry croissant was flakey and filled with jam and delicious! It's located right in the square of the Santa Maria Cathedral and there is outdoor seating!

    The absolute best place to come if you're wanting something healthy. I love their acai bowls which were delicious and fresh and a really good change of pace from all the pasta and pizza i've been eating!

    Vegan burrito
    Mandi B.

    I stopped in here to pick up some food for the train as I headed out to Venice. I wanted good, clean vegan food, and was very happy to find them so close to the train station. I got the vegan burrito and a matcha latte with coconut milk. That burrito was so good! It was a nice break from lots of pizza and pasta that I'd been eating the 5 days prior, haha. And a matcha latte was the perfect amount of energy to get me through that afternoon. They have 3 locations and I would not hesitate to come back here and try more of their delicious foods. Service was prompt and kind, and the prices were really fair.

    Best vegan wrap I ever had. Very close Santa Maria Novella hotel. Coffee, croissants are equally tasty. Very affordable.

    Avocado toast and drip coffee

    I stumbled upon this place while looking for a place to grab a quick croissant and coffee to go. I was pleasantly surprised by the low prices and high quality of their food, and ended up going back for breakfast for the next two days. The menu offers hip and healthy food like acai bowls, smoothies, salads, and avocado toast. If you are looking for an authentic Italian meal, this likely isn't your best bet, but as an American that had been traveling for a few weeks it was refreshing to find familiar and fun foods that didn't cost me an arm and a leg. Also, the staff is very friendly and they play fun music.

    This place looked very appealing, so decided to get something healthy with my BF. First thing I noticed is that they don't wash there hands after they accepted our money. SUPER GROSS reused a lot of the stuff when making my drink, it was horrible. It's a cute store but I wouldn't want to get sick from the way they handle there ingredients.

    I am in love with this place! I came and got food and it was absolutely amazing very fresh and good and they have a wide range of healthy and tasty foods and drinks. I got a smoothie bowl and some toast and they both were delicious. I was having a rough day and to top it off I spilt my smoothie bowl and I was so disappointed and I felt so guilty, but the workers immediately stopped and helped me clean it up and were very kind and understanding they told me it was ok and made me a new bowl:) it made my day and I will for sure come back again!! service is amazing as well as the food! highly recommend!

    Acai Bowl (€7): milk (of choice -- almond here), blackberries, banana, acai powder; toppings (of choice) -- granola and fruit

    I went here for the first time about a month ago. LOCATION: This location is near the main train station of the city, so it's convenient if you want to go grab something to eat there while waiting for a train. 3/5 ATMOSPHERE: It's pretty small inside and there's not that much seating. It's like a juice bar. But, I think they have seating outside too. 3/5 SELECTION: It's mostly known for being a juice bar, so they have juices, smoothies, smoothie bowls, etc., but they also have wraps, sandwiches, bagels, and a few other things as well. I appreciate the vegan options they have. 3/5 WHAT I GOT: I got their Acai Bowl. The description of it reads, "milk, blackberries, banana, acai powder," so I wasn't sure what milk they use and wanted to make sure it'd be vegan, so I asked and they said they can use whatever milk, so I requested almond milk. They also asked what I wanted for the toppings, so I just said granola and fruit, as those are typical toppings for acai bowls. Anyways, it turned out great. It was definitely way better than I expected and the best acai bowl I had while on my Europe trip this year. I just wish I was able to have it there and not to-go (takeaway), so it could be nicely presented in a regular bowl and I could take a nice picture of it lol. Also, I wish I would've thought of more toppings, like coconut, to make it prettier haha. But yeah, the acai blend was good -- it wasn't too thin and I could taste the acai flavor and could tell they actually use a substantial amount, based on how dark it was. I was actually surprised considering they apparently use acai powder, which, from my experience, is pretty weak, as compared to most places, which use frozen acai puree in their blends. The granola was also good -- not amazing, but not chewy or hard. And the fruit on top was fresh and ripe too. All-in-all, I'd definitely recommend their Acai Bowl. 4/5 SERVICE: The service was good. The staff came across as friendly and helpful, and our food didn't take long or anything, despite it being a little busy. 4/5

    Surprisingly a great spot for coffee, smoothies, and shakes, good healthy choices and great gelato and good customer service, kinda slow but they are accommodating. Soy milk choices for cappuccino and lattes. It is self self serve but there is a seating area outside that is conducive for people watching and just hanging out. This establishment was our "go to" place since it was almost like our little joints in America.

    Iced latte that tasted only of water... not even milk!!! So disappointed!!!

    Best place we found for a North American sized cup of drip coffee. They have lots of shakes here too.

I had not had a chance to order an affogato since I arrived in Italy. I was always ordering espresso everywhere. Of course I jet inside to the quick moving line, maybe 10 people... and ordered the pistacio affogato not regular. To my surprise it was a scoop of pistacio gelato with coffee poured in the middle. Topped with a pistacio nut rim. It was amazing and so flavorful. I could have drank 10 more. I hadn't walked Florence since I mostly did day trips so I had just one. I will remember it forever, dream about it and added to my blessed and grateful list! This is a must visit place in Florence. The decor inside is pretty and they have pastries and sandwiches too Ciao Bella!

There are actually two lines / stores - one with all the options on the right and one with original and pistachio options on the left. Order on the machine if you are going into the multi-option store and present your ticket. Lots of options - we got the salted caramel and original (creme) and they were so good. Such an amazing combo with the espresso!

    La Strega Nocciola was one of several gelaterias that I tried while in Firenze. I made it my…read moreintention to try as much gelato as I could in the city so when we had some down time post-lunch we thought that a little sweet would hit the spot. To be transparent, one of the things that drew me to La Strega was the name, I wanted to see what was so witchy about this gelato - and of course the positive reviews helped. The gelateria itself was lovely - soft music playing with intricate decor and a good amount of space. There were a few chairs and stools in case you wanted to sit and enjoy, though they were a little awkwardly placed. There were several flavors of gelato as expected - instead of being on display they were in tubs covered in lids. I heard that's the "proper" way to store gelato as it remains fresher, though the jury is still out for me on that one. Anyway, I got the smallest cup size where I was able to choose two flavors - so I went with the cream and the chestnut. The gelato was really good - creamy with great flavor. Service was great, and overall this was a solid gelateria - La Strega is definitely worth stopping into when in Firenze.

    This shops is conveniently located not far from the duomo. The witch theme is so cute and they have…read moresome inhouse flavors available which I chose my. The service is kind and patient with those who struggle to order in Italian.
