We have to admit that for all of us at Up Hellas HQ, food is -not surprisingly- very important! The best part of our everyday routine is using our go for EAT card to try out all the amazing food options one can find in the centre of Athens.

But also, coffee has a special place in our hearts and we are so excited that more and more cool coffee shops are popping up every day around us. That's why we decided to create this list of some of our latest favourite spots in the centre of Athens, just around the corner from our office. We hope to inspire you next time you have your go for EAT card at hand and are looking for a new coffee place to try 😁

1) PeriKafe

Of course, our lovely neighbours couldn’t not be at the top of this list. This is, for most of us, our morning coffee spot. Without them, we wouldn’t have the necessary energy to go through our busy days! They also have a wide selection of food options to go with our coffee. As an added bonus, they are part of our HeroCorp merchant network which means that we get instant cashback just by using our go for EAT card for our daily coffee 🚀

2) Dope Roasting Co

A relatively new addition to the Athenian coffee scene, Dope Roasting instantly stole our hearts. The coffee is so good, but we also really like their interiors 😍 The building has a long history as it has been there for over 180 years!

3) Anana Coffee|Food

Another relatively new addition. Their coffee blends selection is great but, as real foodies, the main drive for us is their healthy food options. Our favourite one is their banana bread – and more specifically the chocolate bits it contains. We heard it's getting more and more popular, so hope we are able to get a slice next time we’re there! When in the Anana stoa, don’t forget to look up 👀

4) Third Place

Last but not least, we couldn’t miss Third Place. Their high quality coffee from Greek roasters Ofellia Coffees made them stand out. The industrial style of the place is very unique, and their pink toilets are so cool -and all over Instagram!

Next time you are around the area, don't forget to grab your go for EAT card and try one of these places! We will be back soon with more of our favourite places, so keep an eye out for that 👀
