Apparently they do a coffee school or you can book out a barista for 90 mins for 70 Euros for a 2 person session, so it would be a great experience for coffee lovers.

You can smell samples to find your favorite or flip through the impressive menu. You can order a cup of tea or buy loose leaf to take home. Loose leaf tea is sold by weight (grams), and the prices were very fair. I spent roughly €13 on 150 grams of tea and one tea tin (€3) that held 50 of it. (The rest went into provided containers.) All of it traveled home well and made for tasty tea times! The shop also has a variety of chocolates and tea cookies. Everything looked amazing! And the owner was so warm and welcoming. I will make OroNero a must visit on my next trip to Florence and if you're a tea drinker, you should, too!

The cafe americano was actually the best black coffee I've had whilst in Italy. Not too bitter, but perfect with my chocolate croissant.

The store is really cute and cozy, it's a perfect place to stop in and have tea, especially in these chilly winter days. I purchased two teas, the first one called "breathe" that has a strong minty taste, it's fantastic to wake you up in the morning or if you are suffering from a cough. I also purchased "Cecilia's mood" that has a strong chocolate-y flavor and is really good. I will be returning soon to stock up on more tea... Thank You Marcela !

You'll find some tourists here but it's frequented by locals mostly. We came here for aperitivo while we waited for a table at a nearby osteria. The bartender was great, the drinks were well-priced and well-made (negroni & spritz, of course). We took our drinks out to a bench in the piazza and enjoyed a beautiful night. Will definitely visit when we go back to Florence. They allegedly are a great coffee bar during the day also.

The staff are super friendly, coffee delicious, and the large windows slide open so that it feels very open air in the nice weather. This place feels like a local coffee shop (although a fair smattering of tourists stop in). I felt at home here, and welcomed, and loved their pastry/coffee options.
