"I don’t think I could hype this spot up enough. I’m actually addicted. Anytime someone tells me they’re coming to Florence, this is the first place I suggest. The NYC-style bagels are amazing, the fresh danishes are unreal, and there’s always something new and delicious to try. It’s the perfect brunch place great food, friendly people, and a really comfortable atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and stop by it’s easily one of the best places to eat in Florence!!!!"

"My daughter had told me about the Patisserie and we meet with her friends for a early lunch. I loved the atmosphere, and the food was amazing. Everyone one was very friendly.. This will definitely be somewhere that I want to visit when I am in town."

"Banqet Patisserie is nothing like a certain green mermaid cafe. It's a peek into the heart of Florence. A sanctuary of good food and kind faces. Walking in, you meet bubbly baristas who smile like you've just made their day by coming in. And the food! The chicken salad on croissant tastes fresh, summery, and bright. It's got the savory of bacon and chicken with fresh green apples, and almonds that add just enough crunch to make the perfect texture. The brown sugar latte is decadently sweet, rich, and satisfying. Everyone reads reviews to know about the food (which is 10/10), but leaving out the details of the environment is like leaving out the color of a painting. You get the idea of it but not the feel. Banqet's most prized trait is its ordinary magic. It carves out a place of the busy downtown for those wanting to take time to enjoy the slowness of everyday. If you're looking to walk in and out in 2 seconds with subpar coffee, keep looking. This is the spot for sipping, savoring, and memorizing why our most mundane days become our most treasured memories."

"Delicious aroma belies equally scrumptious cuisine! Delightful Victorianesque atmosphere. Family friendly."

"This place is so cool. All sorts of antiques and randomness around to look at. A great vibe and cozy chairs. Busy... wow they get busy. Once you eat here or get their coffee you'll understand. There isn't a lot of sitting room, so if you plan to sit and stay, grab a table first thing. Everything is freshly made. And it shows, it was absolutely delicious. The staff were really friendly. Just busy. They do go above and beyond to keep people rolling and get you your wonderful morning goodies. Even the customers seem to be upbeat and chipper. Very cool spot. Good vibrations. Eclectic decor. It doesn't get any better."
