amazing service and food! - Edit
The staff was wonderful, and the interior was so cozy! Most of the dishes come with baked and spiced potatoes and salad eith balsamic dressing. The waitress was very friendly, and even though there was only a fee vegan options on the menu, she told us it was possible to 'veganize' almost any dish. I had the tofu scramble wrap (amazing), and the le vespe mule drink (equally amazing). This café is definitely worth five stars!
Pros: the staff, the food, the interior
Cons: toilet malfunctions

nice food but not many vegan options - Edit
Went for Sunday brunch and only one vegan option was available. We were told that the granola could not be made with soy milk and was only available with diary yoghurt.
We had the scramble tofu with roast potatoes, beans, tomato, beans and spinach for 13 euros. The food was tasted good and was a decent portion size but it was pretty expensive for what we got. They also had 2 vegan smoothies and 2 juices (that we didn't get).
Pros: tasty food , good portion size
Cons: a bit pricey, not many options

Would give 5 Stars! - Edit
It's a shame I can't give this place five stars because I had the best meal in Italy so far at this great cafe.
The tofu scramble wrap was perfect vegan food. As good as it gets. I also enjoyed an espresso with almond milk on the side.
The value for money was excellent, too. Highly recommended if you're in Florence.
Pros: Best tofu scramble I've ever had
Cons: Could have more vegan options

A slice of Toronto in Florence - Edit
Very nice North American style cafe with a daily brunch menu they serve until 5pm.
The brunch menu items are named after Toronto neighbourhoods because the owner is from there. I had The a Junction which is a tofu scramble with toast, roasted potatoes and salad. It wasn't the most flavourful scramble I've ever had but it was still good. The portion was small but they have also just returned from vacation and I think are short on items.
My partner had the via dei pepi off the lunch menu which is basically the tofu scramble a wrap.
Perfect English spoken here. Not lots but very good vegan options on a well labelled English menu. The soy cappuccinos were also nice. Has wifi and outlets under each table.
Definitely recommended if you're looking for the vegan North American experience and breakfast or cafe food.
Pros: Tofu scramble, English spoken perfectly, Nice atmosphere
Cons: A little bland, Small portions

An authentic trattoria italian - Edit
I don't know if the change the name of the restaurant or if it's a new one, it was on number 5 and was called "Trattoria da I'Secco".
There are 2 menu, one vegetarian and the other one with meat.
Be careful if you're vegan, there are cheese ang eggs in many of the dishes.
Otherwise, it was good and the restaurant was very pretty.
Pros: Good food, Ambiance
Cons: Rarely vegan, Don't speak english very well
