Good to know

These Florence cafés are laptop-friendly: they tolerate long stays, generally have seating and outlets, and don't push you out after one cup. Always check peak-hour signage, since some limit laptops on weekends.

Found your spot? Remember it.

Save these Florence cafés in Remembrew, log every cup, and never forget which one was the one.
