I will say that this place is a great spot to recharge before heading back out onto the Athens streets after making your way up and over the Acropolis. Having a nice light snack and a few drinks in their outdoor seating area is a great way to finish off this tourist attraction. Their shading in this area covers the seating perfectly while still allowing a nice breeze to go through. There is seating inside if you would prefer to remain indoors. The staff is quick to take and deliver your initial order, but after that, things get a bit slow. Overall, a pretty good place, and depending on your table, a great view of the Parthenon. Thanks.

Pros: - bread was good - outdoor seating had a great view Cons: - understaffed, we didn't get our food until almost an hour in We came here after seeing the exhibits, thinking we'll have more than enough time to make it to our Airbnb in 3 hours. We wanted to sit outside because there was a nice breeze and the patio was shaded. The best part about this place is definitely the view you get of the Acropolis, I felt like I was in a movie. This was also our first day in Greece so we may have still been reeling from the flight and the splendor of the Parthenon. After sitting, we were served water quickly, but the rest of the service was a nightmarishly slow. In America, I feel it's somewhat rude to motion to or call out to the wait staff unless they're looking at you or coming your way. Here, however, no one gave us a second glance. After 40 minutes of waiting, and seeing others seated after us place their orders before us, I decided to do as the Greeks do and call out to the wait staff to get our order in. We put in our order, and got our food 20 minutes later. The food itself was pretty good, the fried bread and Feta cheese combo especially. We ordered a coke and it came in a cute custom bottle. We finished eating, and this time I didn't make the same mistake of waiting for the staff to bring me the check and just called out to them right away, we got our check some 10 minutes later and got out of there. I don't think this is the staff's fault, there were like 4 of them, and two of them were exclusively bringing people water. The food was relatively cheap, and tasted good too, but I'd highly recommend getting there off peak (we were there at noon!), Or going to a local place some blocks away.

Because we spent a long time in the Acropolis Museum we decided we'd break for lunch in the cafe. It was a slightly disorganized experience as there was no one to show you to a table, you just sat down at whatever table was free. Then it was hit and miss as to whether the staff assigned to your table noticed you or not. I noticed some people at other tables were getting somewhat annoyed that they weren't able to get the attention of a server. Luckily for us, we seemed to have staff that were quite quick. For food we ordered a sausage risotto and a savory pastry. The risotto was nice but the pastry was so so. It does get busy and noisy though, but you do get a decent view of the Parthenon at least.

Very poor serving, the waiters just ignored us for almost one hour, taking orders from tables that arrived before us. I took a salad that has 4 small/invisible piece of feta, two piece of tomato and rotten leaves with bug eggs (see pictures). I told them about the bug eggs I found in my plate and they just couldn't care less. The baked feta was good instead. The waiters where fighting with pigeons eating the food from the cart that was supposed to be served, but only when it was too evident. They should cover the plates to avoid that. I'm sure they don't have nice work condition there because everyone was very frustrated. The view is stunning.

Good coffee and good location. But they tried to charge us 31€ for 2 lemon pies (which cost 8€ according to the menu). They didn’t even apologize claiming “it was a mistake” PS: Later, claimed they didn’t have the lemon pie in the system so they can’t give us the receipt and wanted a cash payment. After demanding the receipt the pie has magically appeared in the system (as you can see on the photo), but the coffee wasn’t there. We had paid the full price though, for both coffee and pie. This is very sad. It is a good location with the tasty quisine, but with awful dishonest staff that tries to trick both clients and their employer.

I'm not sure whether it was bad luck or the time of the year, but the service I got here was just... Awful. You would try to get a server's attention just to be ignored. It took me forever to be able to order, and I witnessed a couple near me attempt to pay many times with little success (they were eventually able to). I stopped by for a quick double Greek coffee and lemon pie (which was mediocre for the price) before going to the museum (which is nice). I cannot, in good faith, recommend the place. It was the worst service I got in Athens and the only place in which they explicitly asked for a tip (which they didn't get, of course).
