Cortese Café 900

"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. "

"Cortese Café 900 is an exclusive place in a suggestive and prestigious setting… Here you can enjoy ice cream, sweets and chocolate prepared with organic ingredients, gluten-free, dairy-free, with no animal derivatives. It is the meeting point for those who loves sweets, but don’t renounce to their wellbeing."
