    The best coffee I had on my two week trip to Greece, and very much up to the standards of the finest specialty coffee you can get in any other capital city (in my case London). The barista is friendly, knowledgeable and pulls some excellent shots. Pricing is good (and fantastic for the quality) at €1.40 for an espresso and €2.10 for a flat white. Nice seating out front, and glasses of iced water, replaced the moment they're empty. All round a very satisfying coffee experience and a godsend in a country of otherwise awful (thus far, and only in my own experience) coffee!

    A great coffee shop to visit while in Athens. There’s nothing to dislike about this place…inside/outside seating, great drinks, delicious sweets, and excellent service. The iced coffee was good and the latte was awesome. They had a chocolate dessert that was kinda like a cake but super moist and the inside was gooey, and oh so good. I wish I had time to go back.

    Motiv means, “to move forward” and this place really hits with with a strong urge to consume loud caffeine! Really good baristas with plenty of seating to enjoy a cup. Coffee - 8.0: much improved from “taf” over the road. These baristas know how to froth a good flat white. The blend of beans is casual - good colouring and subtle flavour. Probably the best “day cup” I’ve had in Athens so far.

    Another super hip cafe on this street with lots of cool coffee shops. This one has some interesting vegan lattes which are matcha, turmeric, or spirulina (blue). The cookies were so interesting and yummy and the lemon cake was too. The glazing really nice. Thanks!

    So far best coffee I had in Athens. They have great tasty beans and they know what they are doing to extract lots of (balanced) flavours. People are also kind and attentive.

    Cozy neighbourhood cafe with specialty coffee (great V60). Knowledgeable and friendly staff (the cute girl even took the time to recommend me restaurants!)

    I visit this coffee shop very often (their Formionos avenue branch) and now the time for a review has finally come 🥳🥳🥳 The place is simply perfect. The coffee quality is top notch. Also both Anna and Elena are super polite and very knowledgeable about coffee. They both answer all the questions I have about coffee, not to mention that they ALWAYS make my day ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

    Nice coffeeshop with different specialty coffee. The vegan babka was very nice. The barista could have been friendlier though, we definitely had nicer chats at other places. Nevertheless, the coffee tasted really nice.

    Exceptional coffee! By far the best filter coffee I've tasted so far in whole Greece! You can choose from V60, Chemex (maybe vacuum pot, not sure) and buy their coffee for really fair price to brew it yourself. As a coffee fan I can say that this place is definitely worth visiting. Moreover, there is an espresso bar right by the corner with their roasts. I had Papua new Guinea light roast and it was wonderful. Looking forward to tasting something from Kenya :) P.S. They have amazing interior design! The logo is worth an award :)

  • 5/5 Andreas K. 1 year ago on Google
    A wonderful place to get great coffee in the centre of Athens. Friendly people and great tasting coffee. Also some fresh delicacies like cookies and chocolate babka.

  • 5/5 Frederik L. 1 year ago on Google
    Vegan Spirulina Latte 🤯🤍 and great coffee too. Friendly service, cool urban vibe.

  • 5/5 Rachel E. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome little spot on the corner of a street packed with specialty coffee shops. We had an iced sprout milk latte and chocolate chunk cookie and both were wonderful. The staff was also super friendly and made us feel perfectly welcome as obvious tourists who don't speak Greek.

  • 5/5 Junie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Best specialty coffee I've had in Athens! Was first introduced pea milk at this shop and it goes so well with my latte! Barista used the house blend for my latte and it was amazing, fresh and tasty! Taste on the medium note side. Highly recommended!

  • 4/5 Jamie C. 2 years ago on Google
    Good flat white. Used pea milk, but is quite weak with little flavour (they had no oat milk)

  • 5/5 Delphine D. 2 years ago on Google
    These people know their stuff! Slightly off the beaten path, little gem. The service is fast, staff friendly, coffee is inexpensive and amazing. You know it's good when you don't need to add sugar to appreciate it.

  • 5/5 Michael M. 2 years ago on Google
    Tasty coffee. Lovely staff. Gave us a free espresso to sample and we bought some Ethiopian beans to take home which are really nice.

  • 5/5 Maria E. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent coffee! And a lovely place, so it's worth it to take a detour to enjoy a very good cup of coffee if you are in the area. And you should be in the area...
