Florence Cafe

Overview

UPDATE: APRIL 7, 2020 — Florence has teamed up with sister venue Felix to launch online store Felix for Goodness. It's selling products from the grocery section of Florence, including pantry and fridge staples like sourdough, eggs, curry pastes, oils, pasta, broths and wine, which can be delivered to your door each week.

This neighbourhood cafe in Camp Hill does a mean congee. Take a seat inside the historic corner store and ask for a bowl of the comfort dish — slow-cooked brown rice with ginger, snow peas, sprouts and spiced cashews. The cooks sprinkle on some house kimchi and crispy shallots, too. If you're especially keen on all the extra goodness that an egg brings as well, you'll also find a soft-boiled turmeric version in your bowl. The cafe offers a seasonal menu with coffee locally roasted by Parallel Roasters.
