First Affogato in Florence: A Sweet Epiphany

I never thought a scoop of gelato drowned in espresso could make me rethink dessert forever, but Florence changed my mind. My friend Luca, a local, insisted I try affogato at a tiny café tucked behind the Duomo. I watched as the barista poured a shot of rich, aromatic espresso over a cloud of vanilla gelato. The contrast—hot and cold, bitter and sweet—was like a love letter to my taste buds. We sat outside, the city humming around us, and I realized this was more than just a treat; it was a moment of pure joy, a memory melting as quickly as the gelato in my cup. Have you ever tasted something so simple yet so profound that it lingered in your mind long after the last bite? Florence gave me that, and now, every coffee feels a little bit magical. #FlorenceEats #AffogatoLove #TravelMemories #FoodieDiaries #GelatoDreams #Food #Foodie
