Take a break at Caffè Scudieri, a 1939 cafe facing the main entrance of the Duomo. Settle on the terrace with coffee and a pastry, or an Aperol Spritz later, and watch Florence pass by.
Full description
Caffè Scudieri has served Florence since 1939 and sits directly across from the main entrance of the Duomo, which is the main reason people stop here. The refined interior and the terrace make it a spot to watch the square over an Aperol Spritz or a morning coffee.
Reviewers mention rice pudding, cream-filled croissants and pistachio eclairs, and one praises the friendly, attentive staff at 7:00 sharp. Ratings are mixed, with its location doing much of the work, so it suits visitors who value the view and setting over a destination pastry.

My wife and I came at 7AM sharp! The staff are friendly, attentive but not intrusive! We ordered rice pudding, which is great, croissant with cream, which is delicious, Eclair with pistachio cram, which is heavenly and mixed berry salad! We enjoyed every bit of it.
