We didn't know what to expect. A bartender near our airbnb told us this place is the best coffee in Athens with very good breakfast. We went out of our way to come here and we are very glad that we did! We haven't had a pour over since arriving to Greece and greatly appreciate the quality of the coffee (3rd wave coffee shop).

It has good coffee, uncomfortable seating outside. Ideologically it is a dead end. True class warriors should work and pay their taxes, especially greek ones who make lots of money or inherit . That is why Greece has an economy up to 40% off the books. Tax evasion and socialist ideas are in direct conflict. In greek revolutionaries who are not civically minded and impose passive smoking are known as luben . Venceremos. The banana bread is good... I like sitting there reading a conservative newspaper.
