Introducing Holiday Café Hours

Flora is opening early on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for the holidays. We’re serving coffee and a range of sweet and savory bites, prepared in the European style.

Italy offers two ways to have coffee. The café is slower. You order more than a quick espresso. Maybe a cappuccino and a pastry. You sit. You take your time. No one rushes you.

Then there’s the “bar.” Not a cocktail bar, but the counter where you order coffee at speed. You walk up, say, “Un caffè, per favore,” and your espresso arrives in seconds. You drink it and move on with your day.

You can choose either experience during Flora’s holiday café hours.

During our morning café hours, table service will include sweet and savory bites imported from Campania and baked fresh at Flora. Cornetti, the Italian-style croissant. Sfogliatelle, the layered Neapolitan pastry known for its crisp shell and ricotta filling. And, for the holidays, slices of traditional panettone. Alongside our Italian coffee selection, you’ll find new imports from southern Italy, including focaccia and soft brioche filled with Prosciutto di Parma, Cotto, Asiago, or vegetables preserved in olive oil.

For those who want the Italian “bar” experience, we’re offering a sustainable to-go format. We resisted take-away coffee because disposable cups, lids, stirrers, and sleeves create waste. Coffee is also a social ritual for us Italians: slow, relaxing, something enjoyed sitting down. If you’re on the go, purchase a reusable, branded Flora coffee mug. For a one-time cost of $15, your first to-go coffee is free. Bring your mug back for regular-priced espressos or cappuccinos.

Café Hours

Friday: 7:30 am–11:00 am

Saturday: 8:00 am–11:00 am 

Sunday: 8 am–11:00 am

• At 11 am on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, the morning service will ease into our Campania-style brunch as usual.

• Our dinner hours remain unchanged. 

• Take-away coffee is available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, until 11:00 am ONLY.

It's a simple adjustment shaped by the season, by the light shifting in the streets, and by the pleasure of starting the day the Italian way—slowly, with good food, good coffee, and a pleasing atmosphere.

Ci vediamo presto, ciao!
