Athens experiences evolving breakfast and coffee culture

Athens is experiencing a diverse gastronomic evolution, particularly within its breakfast and coffee culture. The city’s food scene has become a mosaic of international influences and local traditions, ranging from classic French butter croissants to Georgian street food and Asian-inspired options like steamed buns, tofu, and noodle soups found in areas like Chinatown.

Local bakeries and shops are contributing to this variety, offering items such as Georgian khatsapuri, fresh pierogi, and traditional cheese pies. In the realm of coffee, the local preference for ‘freddo’ remains a constant habit regardless of the season. To cater to this, Nespresso has introduced the ‘Athens Freddo Intenso’ capsule, a blend of Arabica coffees from Peru and Indonesia featuring notes of roasted cereals and wood, specifically designed to be enjoyed over ice.
