La Milkeria

the granita here is worth rerouting your afternoon for. florence's borgo degli albizi sits far enough from the duomo crowds that you actually feel the city rather than just photograph it, and la milkeria fits that frequency. locally well regarded, and not in the way places get well regarded by tourists who needed somewhere to sit down. the coffee drinks lean toward the milk-based end of things, which, if you're used to specialty bars that treat a latte as a lesser order, is a small recalibration worth making. you don't have to justify your order here. whatever's pulling you in on a warm florentine afternoon, the granita is the right answer.
