When it comes to bakeries, Florence hasn’t always had an established tradition. Luckily, Florence is known for attracting people all over the world and make them fall in love with it—and bakers are no exception. <\/span><\/p>

So treat your sweet tooth to some quality pastries and get ready to discover the best bakeries in Florence!<\/span><\/p>

1. Rivoire<\/span> <\/span><\/h2>

There’s only one place for chocolate in Florence, and its name is <\/span>Rivoire<\/span><\/a>. The place is right in <\/span>Piazza della Signoria, the historical center of ancient Florence. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>

Enrico Rivoire was the <\/span>maître chocolatier <\/span><\/i>of the first king of Italy himself, and decided to open his own café back in 1872. This very place taught Florentines to appreciate hot chocolate in a cup.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

So remember: amazing chocolate. It is the main reason why this place has survived for such a long time. Try everything you can get your hands on… as long as it’s made with chocolate.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

2. Robiglio<\/span> <\/span><\/h2>

Robiglio<\/span><\/a> is another historical caf<\/span>é in Florence<\/span>. It opened in 1928, and it’s been there ever since. <\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>

You can find Florentines enjoying a sweet breakfast<\/a> on its terrace, and you can taste some amazing <\/span>cornetti all’albicocca <\/span><\/i>(croissants stuffed with apricot jam).<\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>

Side note: the pastries here taste just as good as they look. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>

3. Caffè Gilli<\/span> <\/span><\/h2>

It was a Swiss family that opened <\/span>Caffè<\/span> Gilli<\/span><\/a>, the oldest bakery in Florence, in 1733. And—surprise!—it began as a shop specializing in… donuts. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>

In its very long life, this place has seen the greatest Italian minds chatting at its tables, discussing literature and revolution over a cup of <\/span>espresso<\/span>. Enter and smell the history all around you.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

Caffè Gilli is now a luxury café that none of the other bakeries in Florence <\/span>can match in style or elegance<\/span>. You may pay a little more for your coffee<\/a> or hot chocolate, but it’s worth it.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

4. Antico Caffè Torino<\/span> <\/span><\/h2>

Antico Caffè Torino (<\/span>Viale Giacomo Matteotti, 2\/r<\/span><\/i>) holds the most traditional delicacies in its display cases.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

The place is a short walk from the point of interest in Fl<\/span>orence, so it won’t be difficult to find. Try their chocolate millefeuilles<\/em> at your own risk—they are seriously addictive.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

5. Caffè Rainer<\/span> <\/span><\/h2>

No, you didn’t by chance enter a time-loop and end up in Austria. Caffè Rainer (<\/span>Via S. Zanobi, 97\/R<\/span><\/i>) is a real Austrian bakery in Florence.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

The owners are an Austrian chef in love with Italy and a Florentine entrepreneur. A match made in heaven—as their <\/span>eclairs<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

You’ll also have the chance to try a perfect <\/span>Sachertorte <\/span><\/i>and an even better black forest cake. Enjoy every second of it!<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

6. Antico Forno Giglio<\/span> <\/span><\/h2>

Seventy years ago, Antico Forno Giglio opened at Via Vincenzo Gioberti, 151\/r. Over the years, it has become a pilgrimage destination for every Florentine.<\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>

The masters of Antico Forno Giglio are unmatched in savory and sweet baked goods. <\/span> <\/span>You must try the <\/span>cantucci<\/span><\/i>: a biscuit with almonds—that go perfectly well with sweet wine<\/a>.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

7. Pasticceria Giorgio<\/span> <\/span><\/h2>

If you happen to be staying outside the city center, you may find yourself near one of the most amazing bakeries in Florence: Pasticceria Giorgio (<\/span>Via Duccio di Buoninsegna, 36<\/span><\/i>). <\/span> <\/span><\/p>

This is THE place to find a sweet treat that everyone will love. For Sunday lunch with the family, countless Florentines make sure to have a tray of pastries for everyone to share, bought from Pasticceria Giorgio.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

If you have the time, have your breakfast there. And lunch. And dinner.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

8. Mama’s Bakery<\/span> <\/span><\/h2>

Tired of Italian bakeries? You can finally have your New York cheesecake thanks to Mama’s Bakery (<\/span>Via della Chiesa, 34R<\/span><\/i>). <\/span> <\/span><\/p>

Equally appreciated by visitors and Florence locals alike, this place is the perfect spot if you’re looking for an international environment.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

Cookies, apple pies and brownies: all the American traditions in a bakery in Florence!<\/span> <\/span><\/p>
