Starting the day with a special breakfast in Florence is far more than a simple habit: it’s a small daily ritual that can completely change the tone of your day. During the summer of 2026, the city fills with light, the scent of flowers and a lively energy that invites you to slow down and savour every moment. In this setting, choosing the right place for breakfast becomes essential to experience Florence authentically, far from the rush and close to genuine flavours.
Starting Your Day the Right Way in Florence
In the heart of Sant’Ambrogio, a neighbourhood that still keeps its typical Florentine character, you’ll find Sfoglia Re, an ideal stop for anyone who wants to start the day slowly and with taste. Here breakfast is not just a quick moment, but an experience made of details: the aroma of freshly baked pastries, the market waking up, the natural light streaming through the windows.
Its strategic location, right in front of the historic market, makes this spot perfect for both Florentines and curious travellers. Sitting at a table, perhaps outdoors, lets you watch the life of the neighbourhood while you enjoy a breakfast prepared with care and selected ingredients. It’s the kind of place where you can stop for five minutes… or stay for hours without even noticing.

Italian Breakfast with a Modern Twist
The Italian breakfast tradition is simple and irresistible: coffee and baked pastries. But at Sfoglia Re this tradition is reinterpreted with creativity and quality, giving life to a varied and contemporary menu, perfect from breakfast to brunch to lunch.
Here you can savour soft, golden French toast topped with pastry cream and berries, balanced and colourful yogurt bowls with homemade granola and seasonal fruit, fresh fruit and vegetable juices, perfect for a natural energy boost, and specialty coffee, carefully selected for those who love more refined aromas beyond the classic espresso.
This combination of tradition and innovation makes the offering suitable for everyone: those looking for a classic Italian breakfast and those who want something more refined or international. Every dish is designed to be not only delicious, but also beautiful to look at, perfect for anyone who loves to share the experience on social media too.
From Breakfast to Brunch: A Perfect Transition
One of the most interesting aspects of Sfoglia Re is its ability to accompany you throughout the morning, seamlessly. Here the shift from breakfast to brunch happens naturally, with no rigid rules.
You can start with a cappuccino and a croissant, as tradition dictates, and then let yourself be tempted by something more substantial: a savoury dish, a gourmet toast or a seasonal special. This flexible approach is perfect especially in the summer months, when the days grow longer and the pace becomes more relaxed.
Brunch thus becomes a convivial moment, to share with friends or to enjoy even on your own, perhaps with a book or a laptop while travelling for work. The informal yet refined atmosphere lets you feel at ease in any situation, from a business meeting to a slow weekend break.
