Creme Royale — Restaurant in Athens

If you’re in Athens and have a sweet tooth—or even if you’re just craving something comforting and homemade—this pastry shop is an absolute must-visit.

From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by the warmest and most attentive staff. Everyone here is genuinely friendly, happy to explain the treats, and clearly passionate about what they do. It’s the kind of place where you feel like a regular, even on your first visit.

Now, let’s talk about the signature desserts. The creme royale is the best dessert in the world! The cinnamon rolls are amazing—soft, gooey, perfectly spiced, and just the right amount of sweet. They melt in your mouth and somehow feel both indulgent and comforting, like a hug in pastry form.

Surprisingly, the spinach one deserves just as much praise. It’s flakey, rich, and filled with flavorful spinach and herbs—a perfect balance of hearty and fresh. It’s the kind of thing you’d come back for again and again.

This place proves that you don’t need to be fancy to be unforgettable. With incredible pastries and heartfelt service, it’s hands down one of the highlights of my trip....

There's a place in Athens that's definitely worth recommending for an unforgettable breakfast. Their spinach and cheese pastry is especially famous and a must-try. This pastry is incredibly crispy and delicious, making for a great start to your day.

Another popular local delicacy served here is bougatsa. While I haven't had the chance to try it yet, the fact that local food explorers and tourists specifically choose this spot for breakfast suggests that the bougatsa is just as good as their pastries.

As for the frappuccino, I wouldn't particularly recommend it here, as I've had better versions elsewhere. However, when it comes to local specialties like the pastry and bougatsa, this place truly stands out as the best breakfast option in Athens. The fact that it's highly recommended to tourists by local food guides further proves...

Tucked away in the vibrant center of Athens, this little bakery is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Greek pastries.

The spinach pie (spanakopita) was incredible: golden, crispy layers of phyllo filled with a flavorful mix of spinach and herbs. It tasted homemade, like something a Greek grandmother would proudly serve.

Even better was the bougatsa—warm, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet. The custard was silky smooth, and the phyllo had that perfect crunch, topped with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Pure comfort food!

The staff were friendly, and the location couldn’t be more central—perfect for a quick snack while exploring the city or a peaceful coffee break in the middle of the hustle and bustle.

If you’re in Athens and want a true taste of local flavor, don’t...
