Bakeries & cafés in Athens

Athens here means the wider city rather than just the old centre: besides the streets below the Acropolis, the 95 addresses reach Glyfada, Voula and Vari on the coast, Chalandri and Nea Kifisia to the north and Chaidari to the west. Bakeries and patisseries lead with 61, ahead of 36 cafés and 20 dessert places, and more than half offer delivery. Near the Acropolis Museum, reviews of Alchemist Cafe Patisserie on Chatzichristou dwell on portokalopita (orange cake), galaktoboureko and walnut cake, and it stays open until 10 PM or later every day, while Takis Bakery on Misaraliotou sells savoury pies with feta and spinach alongside baklava and brownies. Many cafés keep long hours: Belliz in Gerakas lists 7:30 AM to 2 AM daily, Paris coffee on Acharnon is open around the clock and serves shisha, and Ciel Athens rooftop on Mnisikleous in Plaka pairs cocktails with a view of the Acropolis. Most places that give a price list €1–5 or €5–10.
