Digital Nomad Friendly Coffee Shops in Florence, Italy

Digital Nomad Friendly Coffee Shops in Florence, Italy

Need to get some work down while in Florence? Well, unlike America, it is not always acceptable to bring your computer and work at a coffee shop in Italy. Which can make it a little tricky to find good spots to set up camp. These are my favorite digital nomad friendly coffee shops!

🚨🚨Important celiac note: The only cafe listed that is celiac-safe is Cafe Cortese 900. The rest of them are on this list just for coffee, drinks, and a place to work. Always ask about a product being celiac-safe if you do choose to eat something at one of these locations.

Ditta Artigianale

Ditta is co-owned by an American and an Italian...and you can really feel the blend of the two cultures in their cafes. They have 4 locations throughout the city but my favorite (and the best for working) is the Oltrarno location. The Riva d'Arno location is the newest to open and is definitely worth checking out! Keep in mind: you are not allowed to have laptops at the table on Saturdays or Sundays.

A fusion between a coffee shop and book store, this spot is one of my go-tos. It's super cute, has great drinks, and has the perfect work/study ambience.

This is actually a co-working space super popular with the young population of Florence. They have desks and meeting rooms for rent, a coffee shop, a book store, and they regularly host events (like small concerts).

La Feltrinelli RED

Piazza della Repubblica, 26/27/28/29

RED Feltrinelli - Firenze
@celiacinitaly
Not to be confused with the Feltrinelli on Via de' Cerretani which does NOT have a coffee shop. But the location in Piazza della Repubblica is both a book store and coffee shop. A very central place to spend the day working!

Cortese Café Novecento | 100% GF

Piazza di Santa Maria Novella, 12r

Cortese Café 900
@celiacinitaly
Cortese Café 900 is currently the only 100% gluten-free bakery (two locations) in the heart of Florence, and it truly delivers. Not only is it entirely gluten-free, but it's also raw vegan, organic, dairy-free, and free from refined sugars. Vito Cortese, the pastry chef and visionary behind this gem, turned a personal health crisis in 2007 into a passion for crafting delicious, health-conscious pastries. Expect to find unique and delicious gelato flavors, chocolate truffles, and delightful coffee drinks (their house-made almond milk is nothing short of AMAZING!). Recently, they’ve also begun offering gluten-free croissants—yes, gluten-free croissants! 😱 This cozy spot was the first to open, and they’ve now launched a bigger location at Via de' Guicciardini 124r. Both bakeries are a feast for the eyes, with gorgeously modern interiors, thoughtfully curated to enhance your experience. Visiting one of the Cortese Café 900 locations is a must during your time in Florence. 💛
 Heads up: While many of their treats contain oats, they exclusively use certified gluten-free oats for peace of mind.
