Well said Chandi. Hardly a secret gem on honestly why not support other businesses than lining up in sweltering heat to take a photo and probably dump most of the (now melted) drink..

i’ve been to Florence many times. It is my favorite city in the world. I just like to sit and enjoy a coffee and gaze at the architecture. I always go in November or February to avoid the masses of people. I don’t care if it rains on me or if it’s cold. I do usually stay in the centro storico because I can’t walk far. I avoid the restaurants that are heavily touristic, although I’ve eaten them and I find the food to be very good like you, when I remember that trips in 2011 and compared to the later visits, the number of tourists is astounding, even though I’m in the shoulder season. Really enjoyed reading about this beloved city.
