Banqet Patisserie

I arrived here on a Sunday afternoon around 2 PM, and was greeted politely. There were several people in line in front of me, and after looking around briefly, there were already a few people inside. There’s around eight two-seater tables inside. They play some pleasant music, but it’s a little loud inside (because of the small space). There’s a ton of light from the open windows and vaunting ceilings. I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk and almond croissant to-go. The cappuccino was served in this very cutely decorated cup. They seem to offer several gluten-free options and have a rotating menu everyday that is also publicized on their social media. I’d love to try this out again around breakfast to see more of their offerings!

Banqet Patisserie is a cozy hidden gem tucked away behind Mugshots in downtown Florence. The intimate atmosphere provides warmth and country charm with rustic elegance. The bistro seating, the music, fresh flowers, and the glass encased displays of intricate hand crafted pastries make you feel a connection with the old world charms of France. There are so many gluten-free options available as well. The pastries have many distinct layers of rich flavors and textures and seem to be made with more authentic ingredients. The menu changes daily, and you can check out their social media pages for updates.
