Our Story: A Florentine Tradition

Nestled on the historic Via della Spada, Caffè del Corso is more than just a place to grab a coffee; it's a cornerstone of the neighborhood, a space where the rhythms of daily Florentine life unfold. For generations, this location has welcomed locals and travelers alike, offering a moment of respite and connection amidst the city's vibrant energy. Our journey began with a simple, deep-rooted passion: to share the authentic taste and warmth of Italian coffee culture with everyone who steps through our doors.

We meticulously source the finest Arabica and Robusta beans, selecting blends that capture the rich, complex flavors that define Italian espresso. Our baristas are artisans, trained not just in the technical skill of crafting the perfect shot or latte art, but in the art of Italian hospitality – ensuring every customer feels like part of our extended family. Beyond coffee, our commitment to quality extends to everything we offer. Our pastries are baked fresh each morning, using traditional recipes and the best local ingredients.

From the flaky layers of a classic cornetto to the delicate sweetness of a sfoglia, each bite is a testament to Italy's rich culinary heritage. Our sandwiches and light lunch options feature fresh, seasonal produce, cured meats, and cheeses sourced from trusted local suppliers, providing a delicious and satisfying midday meal. We believe in creating an inviting atmosphere, a 'terzo luogo' – a third place between home and work – where conversation flows easily, ideas are shared, and friendships are forged over a steaming cup or a relaxed aperitivo. The cozy interior, bathed in warm light, is designed for comfort and community, while our outdoor seating offers a front-row seat to the charming street life of Florence.

Whether you're starting your day with a quick espresso al banco, lingering over a cappuccino and newspaper, enjoying a casual lunch, or winding down with an evening aperitivo, Caffè del Corso offers a genuine taste of Italian living. We are proud to continue this tradition, inviting you to experience the passion and dedication that goes into every detail. Come visit us and discover why we're a beloved part of the Florentine community.
