Great place! - Edit
Tried a few things- the cappuccino with homemade almond milk was amazing, croissants are very good but a little bready. The raw cookie was decent but less of my thing. Overall really good.

Wonderful - all vegan! - Edit
I don't know why happy cow isn't displqying this properly for "nearby'... right next to Pitti Palace. Got croissant filled with crema, pistachio, berries... healthy version but such a novelty! Have nowhere to really sit and very popular. They had incredible salted caramel and cappuccino gelato and lots of yummy cookies etc. Also have some savory items that I didn't try, stuffed croissants and pizza.

Delicious cookie - Edit
I happened across this bakery by chance and I am so glad that I did!

I am excited to return when their gelato options increase next month!

Surprised - Edit
I'm not a fan of raw things, but not all is raw here. They have croissants too. Great variety of vegan sweets and some savoury options.
Read moreThe place is elegant.
However I think they charge too much for the table service, almost double the price.
It's not cheap in general
Pros: Savoury options, Ambient
Cons: Prices on table

Exzellent - Edit
Eine außergewöhnliche, elegante Patisserie! Köstliche Pralinen, auch sehr leckere herzhaft belegte Croissants, und die beste heiße Schokolade, die wir jemals getrunken haben.
Read moreDer Cappuccino war lecker, durch die frische Mandelmilch ganz besonders - das bekommt man kaum woanders.
Man kann aus dem Café das Geschehen in der Patisserie beobachten, das ist sehr cool.

An oasis of sweet treats - Edit
After some fomo on a trip around Tuscany, Cortese was the jackpot of Italian pastries. Italian hot chocolate and gelato as well, all vegan, raw and gluten free. The staff were great too, and said that they make their own almond milk for coffees fresh everyday.

Most delicious truffles - Edit
The treats available were wonderful, and there was lots of variety! I indulged in a creamy truffle with hazelnuts (not too dissimilar from a Ferrero Rocher, if not much better), and my partner enjoyed a raw cookie. €5 for us both to have a little sweet treat and tasted top-notch!
Read moreUpdate: it was so nice, we went the next day too! Two cappuccinos with their own almond milk, a beautiful cornetto each with chocolate and a few more of those delectable truffles; all for only €15,60! You'd be a fool to miss it.

Vegan and gluten free - Edit
The cornetto was not flaky but it had a delicious buttery flavor and I liked the custard filling. Also one of the few places to offer a vegan affogato!

Gorgeous - Edit
Although their croissant is not “flaky” (no puff pastry since it’s gluten free), the filling was incredible. Highly recommended

Incredible raw sweet delights - Edit
Fantastic raw sweet treats, the standout being their signature emblema.
Read moreTheir cappuccino with house made almond milk is also as advertised- best coffee we had in Florence.
Finally, their gelato- belissimo. Also the best we had in the city. Cappuccino, and blueberry/wild ginger were extremely good.
Super friendly service, especially in the branch near the Duomo
Pros: Gelato, Emblema, Cappuccino

Great espresso & desserts - Edit
The people were nice, the espressos good and the pastries delicious. Unfortunately we were looking for lunch so were disappointed in just snacks, but that was our fault for not noticing they’re a patisserie!

Better than expected - Edit
I was really craving ice cream, so even though I don’t usually go to raw places, I decided to give it a try and I have to admit it was soooo good! The cashew ice cream was absolutely delicious, and I was surprised by the wide range of flavors! I also noticed lots of other nice-looking sweets, so I’ll definitely be coming back to try them next time.
