L'INCONTRO CAFE' In Firenze

L’Incontro Cafè, Florence: A Morning Ritual for Travelers In the early morning in Florence, I stepped into L’Incontro Cafè. Located near the train station, this café is a daily stop for many locals before heading to work—travelers recommend its coffee for its "rich, unforgettable flavor, even better than in hotels." I ordered an espresso, and the first sip confirmed the veracity of this assessment. It wasn't as glamorous as a five-star hotel, but it had more personality, more in tune with the city's pulse. People at the counter quickly finished their espresso, took a bite of their sandwich, and turned to leave, as if completing a daily ritual. I, however, chose to sit inside, slowly watching them move through time—this contrast in pace made my journey feel exceptionally leisurely. Every morning, the variety of sandwiches at the counter changed. When I saw the chef focused intently on preparing a new one, his movements confident and natural, I suddenly felt curious and admiring. So, I ordered another one. Perhaps I disrupted his rhythm, or perhaps this was precisely the moment that made him feel a sense of accomplishment—to be noticed, liked, and understood. I don't know his feelings, but I know that from a traveler's perspective, I myself felt a strange and small happiness because of it. On the edge of this city's awakening, L’Incontro Café gave me a morning experience of my own: sipping good coffee, eating a freshly made sandwich, watching the crowds go by, and finding the true essence of travel in the contrast between their hustle and bustle and my leisure.

A pleasant and quiet place for breakfast or a snack. Good quality. It's inexpensive compared to other places in the area. Cappuccino is €1.80, filled croissant is €1.50.

A lovely place that instantly makes you feel comfortable. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, perfect for enjoying a good meal without rushing. The service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and delivered with genuine warmth, which truly makes a difference. The food was outstanding. Every dish was full of flavour, beautifully prepared, and clearly made with care. The pastry selection is just as impressive, fresh, delicious, and presented with great detail. You can feel the passion behind everything they do. Overall, a wonderful space with great service and food of the highest quality. Definitely a spot worth visiting and returning to. Highly recommended.

Decent coffee shop,good and friendly service

Absolutely lovely café! The panini and sandwiches are incredibly flavorful, the sweet pastries are fresh and delicious, and the coffee is truly outstanding. The owner is warm and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. When you first walk in, the place looks quite small — but don’t let that fool you. In the back there’s plenty of seating and even a charming little courtyard that you wouldn’t expect from the outside. If you come across any negative reviews from two years ago, ignore them — they’re no longer relevant. The café changed management a few months ago, and guys are doing great job. I highly recommend this spot for breakfast to anyone visiting Florence!

Love the coffee, pastries and cocktails here! My absolute go to place in Florence!
