Great bakery with Italian classics. No coffee, but you can grab some from the shop across the street and bring it in. Not a lot of seating room.

Cutest bakery with the best tiramisu I’ve ever had! Staff was so nice too! Our hotel is right around the corner, so we plan on coming back several times before we leave. Would highly recommend!

The BEST bakery I have been to in Florence!! Every pastry is SO fresh and so delicious, and the coffee is great too - as well as being very reasonably priced. The atmosphere inside is super cute too and it’s so nice to sit and enjoy your coffee/food if you have time. This is not the closest bakery or coffee shop to where I stay in Florence, but I will go out of my way to come here every day that I can because of how good it is!

Forno Ghibellina is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, the inviting ambiance sets the stage for an unforgettable culinary experience. The pastries are a work of art—each one more delicious than the last. The croissants are perfectly flaky, buttery, and light, making them a standout choice for any breakfast or snack.

Their lattes are equally impressive, rich and creamy with a perfect balance of espresso and milk. And let's not forget the orange juice—freshly squeezed and bursting with flavor, it's hands down the best orange juice I've ever had.

The service at Forno Ghibellina is top-notch. The staff are friendly, attentive, and truly passionate about what they do. They go above and beyond to ensure every visit is a delightful experience.

Overall, Forno Ghibellina offers a perfect blend of exquisite pastries, outstanding beverages, exceptional service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It's a must-visit spot for anyone who appreciates high-quality bakery delights and excellent coffee. Five stars, without a doubt!

As a vegan in Florence this was a really nice place to go. I had the courgette bread (?) and it was really tasty, hoping to go back and get the potato or tomato!

We ate here almost every morning in Florence. The coffee is incredibly smooth. The pastries are fresh and delicious. We sampled quite a few but the blackberry crossiant was my favorite. They have maritozzo which you cannot find a lot of outside of Rome. The cantuccini was so delicious that I bought some bags to take home. The ragazze working are friendly and helpful even if you cannot speak a lot of Italian. Prices are reasonable, 6€ for 2 coffees and 2 pastries. We will miss our colazione here!

Wonderful reviews for a reason...I may have gone back for seconds in the same morning haha

They were lovely and kind, we had a marmalade pastry and an apple one. They were delicious. Best pastries I've had in Florence so far! Great prices too

We tried 125gr of cantucci with 4-5 different flavours for 5€ and everything tasted incredible.
We love this cantucci.
The best bakery in Florence. We went here every morning. Lovely staff!

Lovely bakery with a huge variety of pastries and breads. We tried the raisin rosemary bread which was an interesting flavor as well as a cookie with Nutella which was yum! Excellent cappuccino and OJ. Friendly servers and quick service

What an absolutely delightful group of employees. Everything was magnifico! Cappuccino, pastries, need I say more. Their loaf of Italian bread was by far the best we had throughout our travels in Italy. What even made this better was that our loft was right across the street. If In Florence, make this a most go stop! You will not be disappointed! Ghibellina is definitely a hidden gem!

Incroyable moelleux au citron et délicieux marbré chocolat, ne manque que la sympathie du personnel !
Ho preso una torta è qualcosa di spettacolare, 22 euro al kg spesi bene , ma dopo aver mangiato il loro cornetto con la panna non avevo alcun dubbio che la torta sarebbe stata eccellente
Great bakery, kind and good food!

Not much options. No coffee. Terrible customer service
Pizza e dolci semplicemente favolosi, prezzi alti.
My dad and I were wandering around looking for a quick lunch spot when we stumbled upon Forno Ghibellina. Deciding to give it a try was a decision we didn’t regret! The staff greeted us with warmth and attentiveness that made us feel right at home. The food was nothing short of amazing – we enjoyed two slices of pizza, two desserts, and two drinks, all for an incredible 16€. The value for money here is outstanding. We were especially impressed by the variety of options on display; there’s so much more we’re eager to try. We’re definitely planning a return visit to Forno Ghibellina. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious and affordable dining in a welcoming atmosphere!
10/10 the best cantucci in Florence. Baked fresh daily, and they can wrap it nicely if you tell them it’s for gifting. Do yourself a favor, don’t buy from the market even though it’s cheaper because they are not fresh. Don’t believe me then go try and taste one. I regretted not buying more. I pay €6 for about 200-220 grams. It’s a bit more than the market but way cheaper than the airport . Again, I have to stress how moist, delicious and fresh it is was. Our walking tour guide, Armando, brought us here to introduced us to the delicious delicacy. Normally I don’t buy from those recommend by tours as they get a cut or something, but not this case. And since our hotel was nearby , we actually got the chance to try it and their other bakes. I would go back to Florence for Forno’s cantucci. The place hidden by the leather bags stalls do look around.

This place was stunningly good and they definitely deserve the positive ratings. Good was lovely and fresh, creative, yet traditional. Its the kind of place I'd travel back to Florence to enjoy. We had the plain pizza and the amazing potato pizza which we adored, also got some biscotti and amaretti as a gift that were soooo nice, I had to get a bag for myself and it was all worth every penny. The place was clean and inviting and the lady that served us was polite, friendly and welcoming. Totally worth the trip to find the place ❤️
Pizza super buona, cornetti fantastici anche vuoti sono ottimi. Abbiamo preso anche vari rinfreschi, pizzette tramezzini tutto fresco e buonissimo. La torta veramente buona, cercavamo da tanto una pasticceria che faccia buone le torte. Consiglio.

I discovered this small and cozy bakery shop walking around in Florence City center. I ordered cappuccino and croissants and they were really nice and fresh. The croissant with pistachio cream had lots of cream in the middle. The price was really good given the area where it is located. I saw many locals buying their bread and pastries here so assumed they knew where to find good and fresh stuff.
The lady that took my order was extremely helpful and polite.
I also ordered a tiny pie (it looked like a very small cheesecake filled almost to the brim with pistachio cream but the dough was not so crunchy so it was not my favorite
There are plenty of tables and chairs to sit at and the guys around are picking up the tables and bringing you the orders whenever they can

Amazing quality....​I bought delicious croissants and later went back for a delicious cake. The price is worth every single cent.

And...​Th​e people (a family ?) who run it are very friendly and helpful.
Fresh, cheap, yet very delicious cantuccini among many other sweets!

Ottimi prodotti ma in particolare la schiacciata ed il bruttobuono sia bianco che integrale.
Forno con dei prodotti di ottima qualità, il costo è un po' più alto rispetto ad altri forni ma la differenza sta nel giorno dopo, il pane può essere mangiato perché non diventa marmo! Ma dovete andarci entro le 18:30 perché altrimenti rischiate di non trovare nulla! Cornetti in lievito madre enormi e buonissimi! Il servizio dovrebbe essere un po' più celere.
Very tasty croissants
Fresh
To summarise as it should be
Pane di diversi tipi ma acquisto il pane (pera) ottimo si conserva per diversi giorni
Everything was amazing, especially the Strachino Cheese Prosciutto Coccoli, words cannot describe how fresh and delicious it was, 12 out of 10!

I asked a local in Florence what is the best bakery. He directed me to Leonardo’s. I ended up visiting 2 of their locations and was so impressed with both. Beautiful boutique style bakery and matching deliciousness! I will stop back every time I am in Florence.
Very good pizza and cornetto. They bake on site. Definetly would go again
Delicious chocolate cookies! Small place and the owner so nice!
Presi 4 pomodori con il riso e patate, questa sera...che dire li ho dovuti mangiare freddi perché mi si è rotto il forno.... Non erano buoni, OTTIMI buonissimi e se freddi erano ottimi immagino caldi appena sfornati,🔝🔝🔝 complimenti

I bought magic box and it was good pizza! And signore the owner is super friendly.
In assoluto il miglior forno/pasticceria in zona
Le signore al banco sono eccezionali, di una gentilezza ormai rara.
La pulizia è degna di nota e i prodotti sono di una qualità secondo me superiore sia per quanto riguarda il pane e la pizza che la pasticceria secca e non, oltre i cornetti top
Ottime le mozzarelle

The best biscotti I’ve ever had in my life. If you are in Firenze, I recommend coming here and buying a lot back.

I bought 10 bags to go home as gifts for family and friends.
All biscottis were good, the ones I love were the one with the red point over that’s tasted to Dissaronno, the one with almonds really crunchie and tasty, the one with Fig, awesome! All of them, you need to try, also the ones not good looking and plains are very good for a tea time 🥰 And the salad flat crunchy bread, Focaccia Secca very good to eat with oliva oil! 🙏🏼 Yummy! 🍷 a must to go,even if you are near to Mercato Centrale!
I see some comments with one star saying be careful with the high cost of the products that they are inflated, and are not shown, I see it too. Here we are talking about quality and it’s there. To the owner Please, be more kind with the prices and show all of them just to avoid this discrepancies with your customers, locals and foreigners like me. Thank you!
Pane straordinario, come un dolce
Best bakery in Florence! Family ran, grandma helped me pick out the pastries I was looking for, so kind, so fresh so delicious! Really good Cantucci, “Grandpa Bread”, cookies, and Strachino cheese prosciutto coccoli.
Pulito,accogliente
Prodotti anche celiaci e senza lattosio.
Stamattina ho comprato dei biscotti senza glutine e senza lattosio.
Forse un pò alto il prezzo 7biscotti già confezionati 10€

Breakfast/food options were tasty, crisp, warm - very nice. But I kept coming back for desserts. Prices were better than elsewhere in central Florence. Great variety. Top notch place for a desert treat. Feb 2023.
TUTTO BUONISSIMO!

Came across this place on a recent trip to Italy. They had beautiful storefront and friendly people working there.

Their wide selection of flavors and types of biscotti were in baskets, and you were able to pick out what you wanted. I picked out a sampling of almost everything, but ended up liking the pistachio pieces the best. Great texture and flavor.

Would definitely stop by when visiting Florence.
Finalmente a Bagno a Ripoli.......e sorpresa! propone anche pane e pasticcini per celiaci una vera squisitezza !!!!!

Both sweet and savory pastries were delicious, especially the long shaped flat pizza (I do not know if it has a special name) with olives in the dough and tomato sauce and herbs on it. I really wanted to try more things from this backery but my stay in Florence was too short...

Went in very enthusiastic about trying their pastries but was greeted rudely from a member staff because we did not speak Italian. Won’t be returning.
Super tasty pandiramerino with Italian mortadela. The place gets very busy with local people so definitely a good choice if you are around

Overall it's a decent forno.
However, many breads contain chocolate.
A variety of changes are required.
The clerk is not very friendly.
I don't like cookies because they taste old.
I went because it's open on a Sunday, but once is enough.

This bakery was really solid in a good location near the plaza we were staying in. The croissants were a tad sweet for our taste, but we definitely enjoyed this quick bakery breakfast.
Panificio vecchio stampo: ci si viene essenzialmente per comprare il pane, che però è veramente di ottima fattura e qualità, per giunta con un eccellente rapporto qualità prezzo e una buona capacità di conservarsi nell'arco di qualche giorno.
Raccomandato ai cultori del pane di una volta.
Angela Label è una perfetta padrona di casa e conduttrice. Il suo programma è molto seguito e apprezzato. Claudio Cavaliere è il Maestro gelatiere che ha ospitato questa settimana.

Più che la qualità del pane vorrei esaltare la professionalità e la pulizia di questo negozio. Dopo aver servito il cliente il titolare si mette i guanti e fa cassa, una procedura che dovrebbe essere scontata ovunque ma che in molte attività non lo è affatto. Bravi.
Che gente simpatica!!!!

Complimenti per i cantucci, tutti ottimi. La gentilezza e la cortesia sono il vostro biglietto da visita.... . BRAVISSIME ❤️Andate e il vostro palato vi ringrazierà.
Panificio vecchia maniera con pane e schiacciate ottime.
Buono il pane, buona la schiacciata e la ripiena, un po' meno la pizza, per i miei gusti vorrei sapori più marcati e definiti, ed un vasto assortimento per quanto riguarda la panetteria....ottima anche la posizione del forno a Firenze sud....

This must be the best kept secret in all of Florence. We were on our way to the great Synagogue in Florence and walked past Leonard's. Initially we got a chocolate croissant for 1 EUR. It was unbelievablely good. Fresh, flaky, sweet but not too sweet...we saw them making fresh breads through their open bakery and we thought wow, we should come back later. After we went to the Synagogue, we came back and had a pizza of sorts that was mixed with artichoke, baby tomatoes and zucchini. The bread, because it's a bakery, is out of this world. Imagine eating pizza at a bakery. That's how good this was! We couldn't leave without trying the biscotti, so we packed up on nearly a pound of fresh biscotti of all different varieties...also just baked that day!

If you are in Florence visiting, you must come here. This is a very local shop, and it is off the tourist path, but your time and effort will be worth this treat.
Unico x tutto!bontà accoglienza simpatia e naturalezza
The cantucci are excellent - always fresh and delicious. The owners are also quite nice.. once I stopped in to get some cantucci, was eyeing the schiacciata and the owners, not even knowing me, noticed and cut little slice to try. It's the little things that count! Do stop in for great bakery products and warm service
Perché?. Ma semplicemente perché è di Franco ciò vuol dire cura del proprio lavoro di produzione materie prime di qualità e sicurezza sul esporre, creare e raffinare quella pasticceria già esistente..........

Stopped by this cute little shop on the way to dinner as the pastries looked amazing. Owner was super friendly and not only let us sample, but also gave our daughter a free mini pizza. She of course immediately dropped it and he gave her another free. The cookies were delicious, amazed there haven't been any reviews so far!
Eu gosto desse lugar porque produze bom pao, doces pizzas e outras coisas muito gostosa todo de jeito caseiro.Saluti e beijos. BB.
Ottimo pane toscano. Peccato la scarsa diffusione su negli alimentari di Firenze. Spesso il pane è esaurito.
