About Holy Llama

Holy Llama is a creative bakery with a single rule: no animal products or by-products, ever. On Nikis Street, a few steps from Syntagma, the counter fills with croissants, braided tsoureki and cakes, all handmade, and the kitchen serves breakfast, all-day brunch and a light lunch. You would rarely guess the pastries are vegan, which is rather the point. It suits a relaxed morning or anyone travelling with dietary needs. Our advice: come for brunch at the weekend and take a box of the viennoiserie back to the hotel.
