    Breakfast Places

    THIS COULD BE US.


    Let everything else wait. Wake up early. Enjoy the unbeatable sound of the morning silence. The only question that needs to be answered right now is what your fuel of choice is for today. 

    Whatever’s the answer I know exactly the place to go.


    THE SAINTS STORES.

    The ultimate vegan haven, so good that non-vegans sneak in for a cold-pressed smoothie. It's a rare thing to find a place that ticks all the boxes. They are plastic free. They give 5% back to support charities. They live by the 3Rs (Reduce - Reuse – Recycle). They support local producers and they worry about their carbon footprint. They are super welcoming and friendly. But you are probably starving, so let’s get to the food part. In fact I hope you are starving, because the food couldn’t be more delicious than this. Let’s start with mini pies. Mini means you get to try them all right? Sweet or savory? Replace ‘or’ with ‘both’.  Cheese pie, mushroom, spinach, leek or potato? Wait till you hear this one: They offer falafel mini pies as well. Satisfy your sweet tooth with bougatsa which is a must when in Thessaloniki, vanilla or chocolate, fine we’ll have both.

    Wash them down with a glass of fresh juice. No regrets. Literally.

    EKLEKTIK

    Let me take you back to another place and time. With an old school, almost vintage aesthetic and traditional local products this place is a local gem! And it’s more than a simple restaurant. It’s a cooperative grocery store and coffee house with a welcoming, friendly vibe. They change up the menu often so you will always have something new to experience. Or you can DIY your own sandwich along with a cup of Greek coffee.

    They serve a full breakfast (you get a vegan version as well) including a beverage of your choice for 7 euro. A great value for money. Make sure you get a jar of homemade jam to go.

    YPSILON


    I get it. Some days you simply can’t leave work and indulge in a full breakfast. In that case, well, bring work with you, at a tastefully renovated building that dates back to the early 1900s. Head upstairs to the beautifully decorated co-working space, grab a bite and house your next meeting with your team. Innovation at it’s very best. A truly versatile, multifunctional all-day coffee, food & art & drinks space. If you are a true minimalist this will become your fave spot.  The food is simple yet eclectic, the best re-imaged sandwiches along with a cup of joe. Extra points of coolness: There’s a cat upstairs to pet and coo over.

    ALBETA


    It’s a bakery. It’s a café. It’s perfect for a tea and a bite. They have a large assortment of morning pastries and you’ll have a hard time holding yourself back from trying everything on the menu. Try the carrot cake, it’s perfectly dense and crumbly with a rich cream cheese frosting  -finger licking good. Or go for the spinach pie if you are looking for a traditional greek treat. Sit outside and enjoy the breeze on a warm Sunday morning.
