In the heart of Florence, at the corner of Via Calzaiuoli and Via del Corso, stands Coronas Café, much more than just a café. Amidst the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee and the freshness of artisanal gelato, one breathes in the history of a city that has made taste and art a timeless heritage.

Its origins date back to 1921, when one of Florence’s first historic gelaterias was born in these very premises, becoming a meeting place for locals and travelers alike. A spot where time seemed to stand still, filled with conversations, glances, and the gentle clinking of porcelain cups.

Over the years, Coronas Café has evolved while staying true to its identity. The love for fine coffee and artisanal gelato has been passed down through generations, making it a true symbol of Florentine tradition. Its iconic coffee cup, held by intellectuals, artists, and travelers over the decades, carries with it a century of stories and encounters.

Today, Coronas Café is a place where taste and art intertwine, enriched by the installation of Incontro, a masterpiece by Antonio Manzi, the only artist in the world to have placed his self-portrait in the prestigious Uffizi Gallery.

More than just a spot for coffee or gelato, Coronas Café offers a sensory and cultural experience. Every espresso tells the story of an era, every spoonful of gelato celebrates the craftsmanship that has made Italy famous worldwide. For those visiting Florence, stopping at Coronas Café is not just a break—it’s a ritual, a journey through history, creativity, and authentic pleasure.
