Ditta Artigianale Via dello Sprone Specialty Coffee sits quietly near Ponte Vecchio, offering a modern take on Florence’s café culture without the usual tourist bustle. This spot blends the buzz of a specialty coffee shop with spaces designed for working, meeting, or simply enjoying a slower morning. Its location, tucked just off the Old Bridge, strikes a balance — close enough to key sights but removed enough to maintain a calmer pace.

Inside, two floors provide a mix of seating options that accommodate solo visitors hunched over laptops as well as small groups looking to chat. The upstairs room, in particular, feels set up for productivity with ample table space and natural light. Outdoors, the terrace extends the experience, inviting people-watchers and locals who enjoy a coffee break in the fresh air without wandering far from central Florence.

The coffee here is certainly the main draw, with a variety of carefully prepared options spanning from classic cappuccinos to more innovative drinks like the cafemisu—a cappuccino with hints of tiramisu made using ricotta, which gives it a distinctive creamy twist. For those who appreciate filter or V60 brewing methods, the preparation is meticulous and clearly aimed at showcasing the beans' nuances rather than masking them with sweetness.

Alongside the coffee, the menu caters to light breakfasts and brunchers with offerings such as scrambled eggs, smashed avocado toast, and croque madame. Pastries, while not the star, serve as a decent complement—best chosen by scanning the display first to decide what suits your mood. This place also leans slightly toward health-conscious choices, reflected in items like "healthy" croissants and salads, fitting for those who want a purposeful pause rather than a sugar fix.

Service here has a friendly, professional rhythm — staff members are attentive without being overbearing. Table service is available, which adds to the relaxed, sit-down vibe for those staying longer, though it’s worth noting that ordering from the counter and standing means a lower spend, a practical point especially for budget travelers or quick stops.

Overall, Ditta Artigianale Via dello Sprone appeals most to locals, remote workers, and coffee enthusiasts who value quality and atmosphere over tourist-centric hustle. Early to mid-morning or a lazy late afternoon are ideal times to settle in. Whether you’re here to power through emails or slow down with a unique coffee twist, this spot offers a refreshing contrast to the more historic, bustling cafés of Florence.

We literally visited almost all the Ditta cafes There are popping up in nice key areas, this one just across the old bridge and far enough from the crowds, this is a cafe for studying, working, having a chat. There is lots of seating indoors and outdoors. The lady that waited on us was amazingly friendly. Tip: checkout the pastries before you take a seat, to make a better decision when ordering from your table

We ordered the coffeemisu and the Dubai chocolate cafe. Both drinks were amazing and special in their ways. It was smooth and rich but not overwhelming sweet. We enjoyed the coffee and the place a lot. The staff was professional and helpful.

Great place to get specialty coffee in such a central location. They even do table service. Coffee was delicious, The staff and service, very good. Great place for people watching and watching the world go by. There’s an upstairs room that’s pretty well suited for remote work.

It’s more modern European coffee places vs authentic old ones. Filter and V60 coffee options, souvenirs corner and two floors for working or drinking coffee even some lunch options and outdoor terrace alongside with “healthy” croissants. But be mindful if you select a sitting area you can’t order at the counter and your spending will increase in twice vs standing options. Pastries are average

A cool, stylish, and spacious two-story coffee shop. I really liked the space and design — a bit of a 70s vibe, with lacquered furniture and bright wallpaper. The staff is friendly, and there are plenty of seats. The bar is equipped with professional gear. They also serve alcohol and seem to have a food menu, but we only tried the drinks. The cappuccino and strawberry matcha were excellent, especially for Italy. From what I understood, they already have a small network of cafés in Florence. It’s great to see more and more specialty coffee shops popping up in Italy. Highly recommend!

Excellent coffee! Being able to choose the beans for my cappuccino was a plus. The pastries were nice, but the Eggs Benedict was a letdown. It contained way too much cream cheese and that flavor is all I could taste.

We had breakfast at Ditta Artigianale Via dello Sprone – Specialty Coffee and were impressed by the wide selection of coffee options – a true paradise for coffee lovers. The breakfast was also very tasty: we had scrambled eggs and a Croque Madame, both freshly prepared and delicious. Unfortunately, my fruit was forgotten with the order, but mistakes can happen. The location is excellent – a perfect starting point for exploring the city on foot. All in all, a great way to start the day!
