Gran Caffè Doney or Doney's was a cafeteria in Florence established in the 1850s by Gasparo Doney, a French nobleman discharged from Napoleon's army, who opened a French Patisserie, originally located at via del Castellaccio and then moved on Via Tornabuoni, near the British Consulate. In the 19th century, the Italian-English son-in-law Giacomo Thompson expanded the business by opening the Caffè Ristorante Doney at the Palazzina Reale della Cascine in the Cascine Park.
