Athens or no Athens, you should know that there's **a top notch coffee culture out there!** Gone are the days when Greeks used to sip their frappes blissfully. Instead, **countless coffee places** are dotting the city,** baristas are in-the-know,** people are still **outdoorsy** and coffee drinking is a major deal. From hip places with stripped industrial interiors to stylish hangouts with aromas of roasted arabica filling the atmosphere, here are the addresses any self-respecting coffee nerd needs to know.

### **Kaya**

This **miniature coffee shop** is also known as the **caffeine fiend’s mecca.** Kaya is not strong on comfort. There is a **no-frills** attitude and the only option is **communal sipping** at the bar outside the shop. The focus is on **highly skilled staff **and **excellent coffee beans treated with respect** and that's why Kaya is a coffee heaven and **THE best commuter coffee** in town.

### **Dio goulies & dio boukies **

Hard to pronounce? Just remember what it means: **Two sips and two bites. **An **unpretentious **coffee shop with quirky interiors,** exquisite coffee**,** a handful of sandwiches **and a lovely spread of **baked goods** from - arguably - the **best bakery** in Athens. Pour yourself a glass of herb and fruit infused water and **enjoy the spoils!**

It has a **stylish décor**, that reminds an **old atelier **but with some island vibe when you are sitting outside. Baristas here are knowledgeable while **espresso and all its derivatives are a real pleasure.** You can grab your freshly grounded coffee for your coffee jar back home too!
