Fantastic breakfast place - Edit
We came to Shake Cafe every morning we were in Florence. We got a vegan breakfast pastry and a cappuccino or latte with soy milk. The vegan stuff was clearly marked, the staff spoke English, and they were quick! We also grabbed sandwiches one day to take on our day trip to Pisa, which were yummy. My only complain is they only had three different pastries, so on day 4 I had to get the same one again. Highly recommend for breakfast if you are in the Santa Maria Novella area.

Exactly my cap of coffee!!! - Edit
Shake Cafe is a small café that offers wonderful terrific, shakes, soups and more. They make great coffee, and you can have it with regular milk, soy or almond (which is the best option!). you can take the food away or sit and enjoy good vibes. Service is wonderful, everything is tasty – to sum this up – recommended for vegetarians, vegans and everyone else. We visited both shake cafes in Firenze and they are equal at their quality.

Great! - Edit
Stumbled across this cute cafè after visiting Lush cosmetics which is conveniently located just across the street! Had a great soy lattè and delicious vegan bagel! My boyfriend enjoyed his vegan salad and choc/date shake, yum! Got two more juices to go before we left which we're lovely. The staff we're wonderful, so friendly and patient with me not speaking Italian haha

Well located - Edit
Florence is one of the best cities I've travelled to to eat vegan, there is so much choice and such perfect places... Shake Cafe is not one of my favorites. The vegan wrap was nice and quite cheap but the salad arrived on the table with two missing vegetables and we had to ask for them afterwords. Plus the salad was very simple and quite expensive for what it was. But the staff is friendly and the restaurant is very well located, just near the station on a nice little piazza.

busy place - Edit
On our way to the train station to leave, we stopped in Shake Cake for a last gelato. They only had sorbettos, no vegan milk based ones. We got strawberry and chocolate. Also, they were out of the vegan croissants. Happy they are popular, but sad that we didn't get to try them. It was very busy around lunchtime and it was very convenient location to the train station.

Fresh juice and lots of vegan options - Edit
Juice/salad/sandwich shop very close to the Florence train station with a Californian-style vibe. They have lots of fresh juices and smoothies (labeled vegan), coconut water, vegan pastries like croissants (!), salads (served with bread), sandwiches with tofu/seitan/hummus and more. Coffee with choice of soy/almond/rice milk. I'm not sure that their gelato is vegan-- ask them.

LOVE this place !!!! - Edit
I have been here at least 5 times and every time I am greeted by smiles and friendly energy!!!
Read moreVegan wise, there are nice breakfast options like fresh juices and smoothies and ... get ready: a VEGAN croissant!! wooohooo!!! :) AND they make a nice almond milk cappuccino to go with it, so I could dunk like the locals :D
For lunch, they have a nice vegan wrap with hummus, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and quinoa! I believe there is a salad version of that too.
To summarize: Eat, drink and be merry there my fellow vegans!! :D
Pros: delicious vegan options!, very friendly staff :D, very reasonable pricing
