Wow wow wow. Maybe one of the top 2 gluten free bakeries I have ever been to (and that’s what I first scope out when I go to a new place). First, i am also dairy free, my sibling is soy free, and we still found plenty to share.

There are flatbreads and pizzas and sandwiches - all dairy and dairy free options - if you’re looking for savory. And then the sweets!! The most glorious selection of sweet baked goods! There’s a smaller vegan section, and a very large section that had egg and/or butter and/or cream. You just have to ask around if you have other constraints, but every single thing is gluten free. Including their decent selection of packaged pastas and cookies/crackers.

We really enjoyed going here (twice!) and would go back in a heartbeat!

Wow wow wow! I’m visiting from USA and totally blown away by the items available at Starbene. They offer plenty of items that are gf and vegan too. We went later in the day, but there were still plenty of fresh bakery items available. They also have pizza, calzones, etc. so you can dine in at their tiny counter or take it to go. My friend and I opted to try their pizza, which was tasty, but I cannot stress how amazing the pastries are. I ordered so many items but so far my favorite is a crema turnover, it was probably the most delicious thing I’ve eaten since my arrival in Italy. This is a must if you’re visiting Florence and want gf treats.

This is a dedicated gluten free cafe. There isn’t much place to sit, but you can enjoy your pastry or a warmed up slice of pizza at the bar or in a small alcove. Otherwise I’d recommend take away. I stocked up on pastries and a couple rolls for my trip home tomorrow. My husband who isn’t gluten free enjoyed their pizza with ham and went back for a focaccia with ham which he said was even better! They also have a variety of brands of gluten free items for sale including cookies, beans, and several pastas, dried and fresh. We would absolutely go back if we were here longer!

Amazing selection of gf treats and super friendly service. I had one of the best things I’ve ever eaten - an elephant ear type pastry “with cream.” They also have sandwiches and pizza breads for lunch which I didn’t try. It’s heaven for a celiac in Florence!

I have never been able to eat a cannoli or croissant so I have no comparison, but this place allowed me to try delicious gluten free pasteries I could never have back home! Line was long and the selection of both sweet and savory options was great!

I wish I could give them 10 stars. Small selection of savory foods (grab a panini on the way to the Boboli) and large selection of sweets including the best profiteroles with 4 different fillings! So so so good. (Also, not expensive).

On my most recent trip I stopped by here to check it out after reading the rave reviews. I have a nima device I’ve been using (yes I know the verdict on it is controversial), but I’ve been glad to have it for Italy. The Nima tested positive for gluten in one of the pastries, so there is something not 100% gluten free about this place. However, they have a great selection of packaged gluten free goods and excellent packaged ravioli!

AMAZING!!! Everything is gluten free and there's so much to choose from. There's actual food items (bread, pizza, sandwiches, etc.) and then all the sweets/baked goods. There's also a lot of packaged things that can be purchased. I went here twice during my stay and it was amazing. It would be dangerous if I actually lived here because I'd be here all the time!

GF heaven! The food looked so goo in the window, non-gf people were coming in. Focaccia, cream puffs, doughnuts (I tried the donut balls), ad the apple STREUDEL were all great! ***They also sell a huge selection of Schar gf products! I bought the Schar croissants to take to the breakfast buffet with me and chocolate chip buns to take home on the plane. Yum!

Stopped here a couple times. The only thing that was a miss was the donut. There's no way to make a donut taste fried when its baked, and the frosting was plastc-like. It was SO great to have a place I could stop into quickly when I didn't have time for a two hour dinner! My favorite item was the apple strudel! In addition to sweets, there was quiche and pizza.
