Florence for digital nomads

Best cafes

Florence rewards people who choose a cafe by the hour and the address, not by the length of the queue outside. These 12 picks are arranged for that kind of planning. One counter on Piazza della Stazione never closes, a pasticceria in the 50134 opens at 06:00 six days a week, and a gelateria on Via dei Benci keeps scooping until 01:00. In between sit a coffee-and-breakfast specialist on Via dei Neri, a Sicilian address on Viale dei Mille, and a cake-and-coffee room that does not open until 12:00. Not every entry is a cafe in the strict sense: there is a grocer, a bistrot that also does pizza, and a juice bar with bagels. That is deliberate. The list is for visitors who want to know where to be at a given time of day, and what the place is honestly good for once they get there. Where the record is thin, the paragraph says so instead of filling the gap with atmosphere.
