Caffè Florian

Caffè Florian is so much more than a café—it’s a piece of Venice’s history. Founded in 1720, it is one of the oldest coffee houses in the world, and every detail makes you feel as though you’ve stepped back into the glorious days of La Serenissima. (Florian Venezia 1720) The live music creates a magical atmosphere, transporting you to another era and making the entire experience feel like a dream. The café has a unique charm and elegance that simply can’t be described—it truly is a story in itself. We absolutely loved the overall vibe, and visiting Caffè Florian was one of the highlights of our time in Venice. An unforgettable experience that everyone should have at least once.

I have been here on September This coffee shop has long queues and is another must-visit spot in Venice. I went in the late morning when it wasn't too crowded, but it was almost full (there was a long queue when I left). The shop has a good number of tables. The food is simple, and they offer coffee and various pastries. The taste is average, but the staff provided excellent service, making sure we were seated comfortably. There are restrooms on the second floor. You can take unlimited photos, (which I loved.) When I was there, a Japanese couple at the next table helped us take photos, which was very kind. Later, as we were almost finished eating, another couple sat at the next table, and I helped them take photos too. It's a high-priced coffee shop, but the friendliness, service, and atmosphere impressed me greatly. 100% I highly recommend experiencing the luxury, history, and beautiful ambiance of this place.

Service was outstanding and our lunch was wonderful. My boyfriend and I sat outside underneath the umbrella and enjoyed sandwiches and cocktails while listening to live music. Be sure to go inside to see the lavish interior of this 18th century coffeehouse.

Caffe Florian in Venice is an experience that blends history, elegance, and exceptional hospitality. As one of the oldest cafés in the world, its legacy is felt the moment you step inside—ornate interiors, classical artwork, and a timeless ambience that transports you to another era. The staff’s gracious and attentive service adds to the charm, making every guest feel welcomed with genuine warmth. The dining experience is refined, with beautifully presented dishes that highlight the café’s commitment to fine dining. And of course, no visit is complete without trying their tiramisu—rich, delicate, and absolutely delicious. It’s truly a must-try. Florian Café is more than a place to eat; it’s a Venetian institution that delivers culture, flavor, and unforgettable atmosphere in every visit.

Beautiful, historic Cafe with luxury period rooms from 1720. Charming, romantic setting reminiscent of old warm charm from the times of Casanova. This place is so special for anyone who loves Italian beauty, history and coffee. This place would be on my Top 10 list if only the food quality matched the interiors and high prices. I love Old European Cafes, their traditions and their signature dishes and really dont mind paying higher prices for something authentic and special because for me is an experience. Coffee- Cappuccino was just ok, their "best dessert" - Tiramisu Semifreddo was a disaster. Ad the name suggest- texture should be semi frozen not rock solid frozen . It looked beautiful but had no texture or taste, very dissapointing. I bought Venetian Rose Tea, it was very good.
