Great breakfast options. The omelette, scrambled eggs and nutella pancakes were excellent. The pancakes had a slight hint of orange.

Nice place especially the inner garden! Nice benedict eggs and chocolate pancakes! I loved the cold brew

This coffee shop is really nice and simply decorated with nice touches of nerdiness... But this place is all about the coffee. It's a really good selection. I will be coming back to try the brunch.

Like the cold coffees, not the best spot to sit inside, there is an inner garden. The coctails also lool like delicious, give them a try.

Beautiful place with outstanding coffee. Definitely worth visiting! Great coffee, nice selection of brunches and various beers on the bar.

Love the scrambled eggs, latte and biscuit pancakes 💘 nice place but hard to find because of the tiny sign so follow the location and enter the red door that looks like an apartment building👍🏼

The setting is amazing, the decoration is awesome. The outdoor setting are fabulous especially if the weary is little bit chilly. Don’t miss the all coffee types, and the pancakes so yummy.

Outdoor seating in a backyard .Tasty breakfast and brunch options . The prices are logical for the area where it is located .

try the award-winning coffee cocktails. they’re to die for. the eggs benedict here was the best. the strange, sweet aroma of the hollandaise sauce makes all the difference.

Specialty coffee - try Gesha v60, rarely good coffee and difficult to find. Atmosphere is amazingly relaxing, spacious and woody. Smiley service.

Nice breakfast place with lots of space and a backyard. Better make a reservation to be safe. Shakshuka was really good and the pancakes looked very appealing in the eye.

Great coffee and brunch. Quinoa salad, Benedict eggs and pancakes FTW!

Great coffee and good beer list (a few Greek offerings and some heavy hitters by Mikkeller). Alright place to work, but the wifi network is horrific, kicking off users every few minutes.
Sergii K.October 23, 2019
Very cozy place with friendly staff and big tasty portions. Pancakes with lemon curd are super delicious!
Konstantinos GiotisAugust 18, 2016

Warm ambience, jazzy music, great pancakes and mouthwatering croque madame w fries. The excellent coffee varieties need no compliments.

Great environment, great service and the most delicious brunch in town!!! 😍
Mykhailo KolesnykMarch 7, 2016
Unique atmosphere of a brew bar. I usually omit placrs with accent on alcohol, but this one naturally combines great coffee with a selection of cocktails. Really crowded and loud, but that is not bad.

Good espresso.. They know what they make.. Just ask and you will get something good plus a story

Really enjoyed the brunch today. We ordered 2-3 types of eggs, lemonade and cappuccino. Everything except the omelette which was so-so was great. Paid 31 euro for 4 persons and we ate a lot.

These guys are filter pros. Make sure to get a V60 or similar technique - even on a hot day!
AmaliaSeptember 15, 2018
Eggs benedict with guacomole are to die for..greek Omelette also quite good. the Cappuccino is also good. Americano is bitter. the pancakes are ok..
MatthiasMay 26, 2017
Awesome service and really great taste of coffee that they roast themselves! Would always come here when in Athens.
Vagelis EftaxopoulosNovember 2, 2017
Flat white... Dead pony pale ale... is there anything else to say? 👌
ameliethebeeFebruary 21, 2017
Great variety of coffees and nice selection of beers! Ideal for a quiet brunch in an amazing urban space!

If there’s a cafe to keep your eye on, it’s the underdog in Athens. Smiley service and delicious coffee! #totallyrecommendit
Greg LoukasOctober 13, 2015
One of the best coffee shops in town, great espresso, served properly, very polite staff. Check also the retail shelf, fresh roasted coffee and other stuff!
Nana ApostolopoulouAugust 9, 2017
Amazing place, really affordable and hip. AC is not great during summer though and no mention of the place being closed for a couple of weeks during August.
Νίκος ΦούρναρηςJune 16, 2017
Offering a unique variety and quality of coffees in the heart of Athens....A visit is definately worth it.

Fresh brewed coffee or Brewdog beers... Choose and enjoy.

The Caramel Oreo pancakes were a hell of a plate, but eggs benefict with bacon although yummy a little “poor”. Overall nice place, good food, not extremely value for money.
Eline🍩December 16, 2015

Specialty coffees in a hip environment in the heart of Thissio. Love the flat white here.
