Loved the healthy vibe this café brings to the city. Ordered a quinoa salad with pears, walnuts and tofu. Not as much tofu and quinoa as I imagined but it was a decent salad and would eat there again.

Absolutely hotspot for people who need healthy energy in Firenze! Very nice, well English speaking, people and great smoothies and juices for a fine price. Also good sandwiches!

Their prices are good, the juice is pretty good, the service is ok, slow but very nice people. Will go there again since there aren’t many juice options available in Florence. If there is a line when you get there and you are in a hurry look for your juice fix elsewhere tho.

I was exited to find a place that seemed to resemble something close to a juice and smoothie bar — but was disappointed. Man, the Italians have yet to nail a good smoothie. I paid about 5 euros for a really warm shake that wasn’t blended properly. The woman making my shake used a really bad looking banana and then attempted to prevent me from seeing that she had used it anyway. The people were really lovely and friendly, though. They had vegan croissants as well.

A fantastic, reasonably priced little gem of a healthy café where you can find juices, smoothies, a great salad selection, in addition to the usual espressos and gelato flavors. Owned by Nicolla, who invested a huge sum in renovations for a cute place with nice outdoor patio. Go there and give you body a much-needed break from all the pasta and pizza. It will thank you.

Once we’d found Shake Café, it was a firm favourite of ours during our time in Florence. From then on, we headed there most mornings for a juice to start the day. I was so pleased to discover this awesome little juice bar as I’m such a fan of juices at home and the juices certainly lived up to my expectations. My favourite was definitely the power smoothie with cacao, cinnamon, banana, dates and yoghurt. I had this multiple times because it was so scrumptious and very filling. — SO good! Prices are reasonable at 4 euros for a regular and 5 for a large drink. If you’re also feeling peckish, there’s a selection of pastries, yoghurt and fruit pots and also sandwiches and bagels if you’re after something a little more substantial. — All made in-house! It does get busy and as a result, the service can seem a little disorderly and staff are purely focused on delivering orders meaning there isn’t much room for pleasantries. But this definitely wasn’t a deal breaker, as it’s a grab-and-go kind of place, and I really loved the juices and that’s what brought me back again and again.

Perfect spot to start the morning healthy in Florence — coffee, juice bar, sandwiches, and pastries too. The #4 juice drink with carrots and ginger was very tasty. The patio had some nice people watching. Only negative is that the price was on the higher side and the patio is full of pigeons who aren’t afraid to get intimate with you.

Dove in here to dodge the pouring rain one day in Florence. It seems like a popular juice/smoothie place that also serves coffee and gelato. We got the large Tropicale smoothie, but for 4.50 euro it is a bit defeating to see it fill up only a small cup. The taste is there, but probably wouldn’t check it out again if I return to the city.

En nuestra estancia en Florencia este local fue nuestra parada obligatoria para empezar el día con un buen café, ya que estaba cerca de nuestro apartamento. El local tiene una decoración fresca, con colores claros y plantas que dan sensación de limpio y fresco en temporada estival. Ofrecen tanto cafés, como focaccias rellenas para consumir, bien en el propio local, o bien para llevar. El personal que atiende es joven y agradable. No sé si incrementarán mucho los precios en la mesa, porque nosotros somos más de tomarnos en la barra y salir pitando para aprovechar el día, pero la terraza del exterior ofrece unas buenas vistas a la plaza de Santa María Novella, así que es un buen sitio para parar a reponer fuerzas.

Great little juice bar with multiple locations and so many juice and smoothie options. We got a juice which actually tasted like a smoothie which was very tasty and a croissant. Another time(in a different location in the train station) we got juice, cappuccino and a smoked salmon bagel was really enjoyed it!

Fabulous(and healthy) smoothies and juices, and genuinely lovely service. Brought my two young kids(to try to get some fruits and vegetables into them in between gelato) and the staff were incredibly nice to us. Will be back soon!

Surprisingly a great spot for coffee, smoothies, and shakes, good healthy choices and great gelato and good customer service, kinda slow but they are accommodating. Soy milk choices for cappuccino and lattes. It is self self serve but there is a seating area outside that is conducive for people watching and just hanging out. This establishment was our«go to» place since it was almost like our little joints in America.

Great selection of juice, smoothies, vegan and veggie salads and sandwiches. The cappuccino is excellent and soy, almond and rice milk are options. Also yogurt cups with muesli. There’s a nice seating area outside with people watching opportunities. Love, bene!

Stopped in here for a quick Gelato. There are a bazillion choices in Firenze, but this one was near the train station, and we were waiting for a train. The staff person was nice enough, but I though the gelato prices to be very high and the portions very small.(Speaking as a guy who LIKES modest portions of gelato. But one bite and POOF!?) And the selection was limted. The sandwiches looked interesting, but we didn’t try those. But my guess is you have better options in the gelato category.
