The Ditta cappuccino was really good. I tried some of their croissants and rice Treat/bread and both were very very good. The service was excellent. The only reason I wouldn’t give 5 stars is it was so busy (which is good sign) and no place to sit

Right at the entrance to the covered market. Wonderful to find a great oat flat white and spectacular avo toast with fresh smoked salmon. Lots of locals stopping by - this is my fave place in Florence for a quick breakfast.

Great little spot to go when you are in this area. The coffee has been the best I’ve had since being in Italy and they do flat whites and avo toast! Felt like we were back in OZ. It’s very busy but they are so quick and delivery quality. The avo toast was amazing and the staff were fantastic! Recommended!
