Great spot but the croissant was more spongy like a cake. good but not the best one. They also put chocolate on my cappuccino which I am not a fan of
Had a yum crème croissant! Have had better GF croissants across Europe (Rome, Paris) but this one was still lovely and I appreciated that it came out warm. Other GF options were very limited.
So excited to get a gluten free crème croissant here after watching my husband have them for breakfast everyday! Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the gf croissants are prepared separately in the back (they are even warm!!)

First time having a GF croissant in years, both the cream and chocolate were very good! Also make a wonderful cappuccino, staff are very friendly!
Très bon, magnifique café! Plusieurs choix!
Very accommodating to gluten free. The waitress was coeliac so knew the precautions. I ordered both a custard croissant and Nutella croissant. Both lovely, was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the custard croissant! My boyfriend is not gluten free and he loved the pastries too.
Incredible chocolate croissant- best I’ve had since becoming a coeliac!
We had plain crossiants and chocolate crossiants for breakfast and they were delicious. The plain crossiants are GF/DF.
Had a cornetto con crema and it was delicious, flaky and not too sweet. 10/10 recommend! They have them in a separate area to avoid cross contamination
Had a great breakfast including a gluten free croissant, it is in a great location on a side street off the duomo and it is in an old theatre a great location for breakfast before exploring Florence
GF chocolate croissant - best one Ive had! Ordered a fresh squeezed juice as well. My sister ordered the vegan croissant (not GF) but a great option for those looking for dairy free.
We went for breakfast and it was amazing!!! The best GF chocolate croissant and cappuccino. Sani (sp?) who works there is also celiac and was a great help. I highly recommend going and you get a nice view of part of the Duomo.
Delicious chocolate croissant! I must admit it tasted a bit cake like, compared to other gluten free croissants I've had in GF bakeries, where the pastry is a lot crispier. Nevertheless it was delicious and I would go back!
Amazing! The staff were great and they knew exactly what I was asking for when I talk about an extreme allergy. They explain the way they made their gluten free food in the back so I felt safe.
I followed from this app to try the gluten free croissants. They did NOT disappoint. The staff were so friendly, and my server was also coeliac. They have three options of croissant and many other food options for breakfast lunch and dinner. Wish I was here for longer so I could go back everyday for the fluffiest croissant I have ever tasted!!! 🙌😍
3 types of gluten free croissants, very fluffy and delicious! There is also the option of an omelette and avocado toast, but these are the only two GF options.
Fabulous coffee!! Lovely croissants 3 varieties kept separately out the back, but nothing else GF….
Two different places next door, can go to either and get the same menu. Chocolate croissant was amazing! Lots of coffee choices.
Do not miss out on the great place for gf morning croissants. They are some of the best I’ve had so far. I wish we would have found this place sooner. I would go everyday if I could.
Great find! Thanks to all previous reviewers for sharing this wonderful place. We had stuffed croissants which were amazing. They keep their GF items separated from the gluten versions, so very safe.
Delicious gluten free croissant, lots of falvaoura and over savoury breakfast options. Waitress was coeliac and understood contamination. Definitely recommend
Lovely outdoor spot. Waiter came to our table with a waitress who had celiac to make sure to help me with menu selections. Felt safe. Food was delicious.
The waitress had celiacs and made sure I ordered safely! We had the Scottish omelette, a chocolate filled croissant, and I had the pistachio cappuccino—everything was very good and it even came with gf bread!
Really good breakfast right by the duomo! Pretty view if you sit outside, too. Was able to get gf bread with my omelette.
Ate the most amazing gf croissant with cream here. I was diagnosed celiac 10 years ago and have tried other gf pastries, but gf croissants have always lacked in flavor and texture. This one was amazing, so good that I double checked with the waiter that it was indeed gf. Definitely go here!
A beautiful quaint café with an adjacent restaurant too, sharing the same kitchen/menus. Friendly staff too overall. If you end up the theatre’s café, make sure you ask for the specific breakfast menu, which includes a variety of omelettes (including a “make your own” option), as well as other GF options (bread, croissants, etc.) All I can say about their safety measures, is that the waitress proactively asked me whether I was coeliac and whether contamination would be a risk for me as soon I ordered GF bread with my omelette. The omelette was delicious and copious, the cappuccino was tasty too — but you only get the latte art at the café side. :)
Delicious gluten free croissants, which you can get in plain, chocolate, or cream-filled. Fun latte flavors as well!
They had gluten-free pain au chocolat and apricot croissants. They are soft, not crispy, but warm and very tasty.
A few gf croissant options. I got the chocolate croissant and it was amazing!!
Chocolate and custard gluten free croissants!
GF croissants in plain, chocolate, and cream. It is hard to believe they are GF. We did a quick counter to-go order and it was quick, easy, and required no explanation of GF.
Great gluten free chocolate croissant and coffee/espresso options. Really only 1 gluten free meal (an omelette - just okay).
We had breakfast here with a gluten free pastry and a lovely cappuccino and it was wonderful. The lunch was also lovely. I had a really good risotto with meat sauce that was unlike anything I’ve had in Italy so far. Lovely service. Our server was a celiac, so she was quite knowledgeable about my concerns. Great view of the Florentine Cathedral.
Got a plain gf croissant… very heavy. For what it was, was the €4 a lot of money
The croissants were good. We tried both cream and chocolate. The cappuccino was nice also. The menu was otherwise fairly limited for gluten free items.
best gluten free croissants!!! chocolate, cream, or plain. i come every time before class must try
