Kokkion is ice cream made by pastry chefs, with no pre-prepared mixes: each flavour is produced fresh in its own lab, with house-made cheese and caramel, fresh cow’s milk from a farm in northern Greece and French chocolate. The flavours are thoughtful and technically precise, from an 85% cocoa chocolate to a raspberry, blueberry and blackcurrant sorbet. A full range of sorbets is vegan and lactose-free. The small shop on Protogenous sits in the Monastiraki lanes, with a second in Koukaki. Our advice: order the dark chocolate with a berry sorbet on a hot evening walk.
