Outstanding small independent coffee shop, amazing staff who are friendly, welcoming and ever so helpful. The coffee is good, well roasted with a dark chocolatey flavour with a good finish. The homemade lemonade (made by the amazing Maria) is the best in Thessaloniki. Well done guys.

BEST coffee shop in Thessaloniki! The location is perfect, the coffee/snacks/tea are delicious, and the staff is super friendly. It’s also a great place to work remotely, if you need (Wifi very strong). We can’t wait to visit again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
