Patisserie are wonderful, located in Florence, Rome, New York or Paris. But they have to be excellent. It’s nothing worse than eating poor pastries and, mostly, fattening uselessly!There are many good Florentine patisserie and I would like to emphasize that this article is not listed in order of appreciation. The selection was made both for the excellence of the product, for the customer service and for pleasantness of the room.

Even in this case it would be useful a little more customer orientation.
Patisserie Cesare. Via Gabriele D’Annunzio 106C. It’s one of my favourites. Unforgettable hot cream with biscuits, great bomboloni with cream or chocolate. Very good cakes. Great cappuccino. The pastry shop is large, clean and the staff is nice. Near Cesare there are many school, so many mums go out for long breaks. Good even for a quick lunch.

It is almost crowded especially in breakfast time. All the birthday cakes for my children have been bought in this pastry shop. Staff courteous, but if you’re unfriendly to the owner you will not be back!
Dolci e dolcezze. Piazza Beccaria 8. Very small patisserie but very well furnished. In this pastry shop everything is refined, from the beautiful and luxurious pastry to the eighteenth century style furnishings. Great croissants and small pastry with unusual combinations. I love their Christmas panettone and their coffee. If you are looking for quality you are in the right place.
