Coffee Island — Restaurant in Municipality of Thira

I came to this coffee shop for the five days that I was in Santorini and I always asked for freddo cappuccino extra sweet. However, on my last day, who I believe was the owner of the place as he wasn’t wearing any uniform, took my order and made fun of me for asking for a sweet cappuccino, even joking that he was gonna give me a cup of syrup instead. What was my surprise that when I started drinking my coffee I noticed that they gave me 3/4 of the cup filled with whipped cream. I’m not joking, 3/4 of the cup with whipped cream!!!!! I don’t know if this was some type of joke, but I did pay for this coffee and I even bought 2 cups. I paid six euros and I feel this was a very rude gesture. This is not the first time that someone in Greece or even Italy make fun of me for wanting a sweet coffee. But I think it’s in no way an excuse for this rude behavior as I did pay for the coffees and at the end I had to throw them away. I really hope that someone read this comment because I was very upset and as it was my last day I couldn’t go back to...

With over 400 locations across Greece, Cyprus, Canada, Dubai, Egypt, Coffee Island is one of Greece most prominent branded coffee chains (kafeneio). It is no surprise, as Greece has among the highest per capita coffee consumption in the world. Coffee Island takes their coffee very seriously, while the service is friendly and relaxed.

The coffee can be ordered in three sizes and includes cold and hot variations including the Greek frappé to freddo espresso and cappuccino. Fun fact about the word “frappé” - it originates from the French word “frapper”, meaning “to knock / hit”. On offer is the customary Arabica beans but also a multitude of speciality beans from different parts of the world.

This location of Coffee Island close to Fira bus stop is open from 5.30AM to 9.00PM every day. Highly recommended if you are looking for a good...

The coffee (cappachino) on the menu was €2.40 for medium, 2.60 for large We were charged €2.70 each (I think medium size) They were both Luke warm. And very weak. Plus they put the sugar in it and ask how much want, they were soooo sweet! I only asked for a teaspoon, and got a dessert spoon by the taste.

It's not hard to offer a sachet of sugar to sweeten to personal taste.

Also ordered two pastries also. Cheese and tomato looked good, until the first bite then no filling past the edges you could see. Cheese pie. Next to no cheese in it, just heavy and horrible.

Music was so loud the guy behind the counter had trouble hearing the orders. 9.30am
