Mokka
Old-school roaster
About Mokka
A historic coffee roaster and café beside the Central Market, where you can smell the beans from the street. Stop for a Greek coffee or espresso at the counter and buy freshly roasted beans to take home. The Varvakios Central Market on Athinas Street, trading since the 1880s, is the heart of Athens food shopping, with meat, fish and spice stalls and old tavernas around it. Greek coffee culture is unhurried: order a freddo espresso or freddo cappuccino, the iced coffees Athenians drink almost all year, and linger as long as you like.
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Mokka before you go.
