Useful Tips

  • Arrive Early: Popular cafés fill up quickly, especially on weekends. Visiting before 9:30 AM offers a quieter experience.

  • Try Local Specialties: Look for “budino di riso” (Tuscan rice pudding tart), fresh crostata, or the classic “bombolone alla crema”.

  • Ask the Barista: Many cafés offer seasonal specialties or off-menu items—don't hesitate to ask for a recommendation.
