12 million stars. Cute place, excellent and kind service, great food. Their cappuccino was excellent, and the roasted veg salad was so tasty. The veg was roasted perfectly, the greens were fresh, and the dressing was delicious. I just finished eating it and had to write this. I added slices of fresh peach to the salad for a bit of sweetness, and it was so, so good (peach not required for greatness). I regret not buying a few pastries, as they looked amazing. Thanks!!!
Each time we’ve been to Athens, we usually stop here at least once a day. Today was breakfast. Pictured is the breakfast toast, with the smoked salmon added. He got the whitefish toast with pickled red onion. Both were hands down delicious. The iced Americano was perfect. And the folks who work here are friendly
I have had many breakfast and lunch offerings and they were always terrific. Although the chocolate croissant was a bit messy, the combination of the melted chocolate with the buttery pastry created a perfectly balanced extraordinary flavor. I also had the beef chile con carne. This was flavorful, but mild and was quite memorable. More recently, I had the cold turkey sandwich. This was a complex, yet tasty combination of gruyere with baby spinach and a delicious, creamy sun-dried tomato aioli. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. This is a must place to visit while in Athens.
Made a detour on my way to NYC from Albany, to get some lunch.. love the place, and people that run it.. food was great l, keep it up.. The only thing I would change is the use of throwaway containers for food. I would have loved real bowl for that bean soup.
Owner snapped out a table outside for us so we could eat there. So nice! The food was amazing as expected. The sausage and pimento burrito delivered and the brunch pizza is exactly as good as it sounds. Perfectly prepared, crispy cheesy crust. Turmeric latte also quite yummy.
