I was trying to find some espresso cups to purchase and bring back to the US and with a quick search found that ChiaroScuro sells them. They only had one left but the barista took one from the warming tray on top of the expresso machine and gave it to us.
My wife had a café latte and I had a cappuccino and we both felt it was the best coffee we've had in our lives. Not a hint of bitterness and very flavorful. We ended up buying 250g of the espresso beans they use as well.
The staff was friendly, the coffee the best I've had and they sell all sorts of authentic Italian drink ware. -

Excellent breakfast and lunch.
Fantastic cappuccino, great pastries and fruits, and the lunch food looked fabulous.
Friendly service. Good prices. -

What a tourist trap. "Apertivo" they said, "happy hour." Come in and eat all you want. So we went hoping to enjoy a Florentine tradition. Food was fine and drinks reasonably priced but then they charged us for the "buffet." I questioned this and was told it comes free at lunch but they charge in the afternoon. Avoid the tourist trap. Charges 9 euro each. Could have had my dream sandwich down the street for half.

Rude and unfriendly. Scowling female clearly did not like non Italians. Refused to take a credit card then charged us .50 more than advertised. When we went to sit down on the edge of the room where at least 6 other tables were occupied, she told us to move to the centerfold the room because we only had drinks. Outrageous compared to so many other amazing places.

Fantastic spot for Apertivo! We've gone during peak summer times and there is always a space to sit and some amazing food. For only the price of glass of wine, you get a full buffet of Italian small plates. Definitely worth a try if you're looking for a great happy hour spot in Florence!
