    Really, really great place for coffee and a sweet snack in the shade during the heat of the day. They have the coffee down to a science. You can choose your beans, filter method, flavor, etc., and the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful when making your decision. The single source coffees were outstanding, the one from El Salvador was my favorite, but the Ethiopian was tasty as well. We’ve tried coffee shops from Athens up to Thessaloniki during our road-trip and this is my favorite.

    ☕️Best coffee. 🍸Solid cocktails. FANTASTIC bread platters. Vibes for DAYS. A must try for coffee lovers in Thess (they treat coffee like is a Michelin-grade cocktail and we love it). It’s dog friendly, wheelchair (semi) accessible, and the outdoor seating is covered by umbrellas. Also indoor seating. Small breakfast and lunch menu with vegetarian options (€9-10). The “Home Alone” bread platter is AMAZING (€10 and perfect for 2 people, okay for 3). Best part is the 🥐 and 🥯—both homemade and fresh! You can also buy their delectable beans in 250gr bags (€11-26). This place even allows you to choose your bean AND method of filtering (a rarity in Greece). But you can also just order your standard beverage and it’ll be better than you’ve had in a long while. This lofi music cafe turns into a trendy cocktail bar at night with a seasonal upstairs “speakeasy,” though you can technically order cocktails all day. The baristas and bartenders are friendly and speak English. 💰Coffees are expensive but reasonable for the very high quality. And it comes with a small fresh baked good (different every time). Espresso €2.5-4.6, cold brew €4.8, Irish coffee €6.5 (it’s DELICIOUS), tea €4-4.5 and many more options. BEST VALUE is the bread platters (€10 and big enough for 3 people, but perfect for 2). ♿️large cobblestone (see photo). Inside has a small step inside. Bathroom is downstairs (no elevator).

    By far the best coffee in the area. The barista knows what he’s doing! Lots of creative brewing methods but they’ll also do a classic flat white to perfection. Lots of vegan milks including almond milk.

    I highly recommend the Blue Cup bar located in the city center of Thessaloniki. This place is a must-visit for coffee lovers during the daytime as they offer a high-quality coffee experience. The bar also boasts a wide range of cocktails, making it the perfect spot for a night out. The service at the Blue Cup is outstanding, with the barmen being incredibly skilled, attentive to their customers' needs and deeply knowledgeable, they will recommend the perfect drink for you and even create a customized cocktail based on your preferences. The atmosphere of the bar is fantastic, with a great mix of people and a fantastic selection of music from their resident DJs. For those looking for a more intimate experience, the Speakeasy located on the upper floor is the perfect spot. This place is great and the drinks are just as amazing as the atmosphere. Overall, I cannot recommend the Blue Cup bar enough. With great coffee, cocktails, and service, this bar is the perfect spot for a night out in Thessaloniki. So, if you're in the area, make sure to pay them a visit - you won't be disappointed!

  • 4/5 Christos K. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice and cozy atmosphere, within a relatively busy part of the city. Slightly expensive, plus the service should be better trained. There were too many waiters, each one for a certain job, something that made things for the customer a bit uneasy.

    (Translated by Google) 09:48 we ordered coffee for business in the area of ​​the station. Without any notice, an hour and ten minutes later we call to see what stage the order is at and the gentleman with absolute naturalness replied that they do not serve there unless you order through an efood, wolt broker, who themselves provide delivery. To my question why we were not notified earlier the answer was with indifference that they did not know where the office was. Our money and our appreciation will go where it makes sense to go. (Original) 09:48 παραγγείλαμε καφέδες για επαγγελματικό χώρο στην περιοχή του σταθμού. Χωρίς καμία ειδοποίηση μία ώρα και δέκα λεπτά μετά καλούμε να δούμε σε τι φάση βρίσκεται η παραγγελία και ο κύριος με απόλυτη φυσικότητα απάντησε ότι δεν εξυπηρετούν εκεί παρά μόνο αν παραγγείλεις μέσω διαμεσολαβητή efood, wolt, που οι ίδιοι παρέχουν διανομή. Στην ερώτηση μου γιατί δεν ειδοποιηθηκαμε νωριτερα η απάντηση ήταν με αδιαφορία ότι δε γνώριζαν που είναι το γραφείο. Τα λεφτά μας και η εκτίμηση μας θα πηγαίνουν εκεί που έχει νόημα να πηγαίνουν.

    Nice café/bar in the vicinity of the harbor. They are roasting the coffee themselves. Try the Cappuccino Freddo or the Moccacino. Great variety of cocktails and wines to choose from. The café is situated in one of the old renovated houses on the brink of the Ladadika entertainment area and the interior, smarty decorated, still has some old world charm. In the summer, is more pleasant to sit in the garden with the tree in the middle, illuminated by small lights. Small dogs are accepted indoors.

  • 1/5 Lauret R. 5 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    Really bad experience! First of all you should learn how to welcome your guest it's was really rude how I got a seat. Second 1 get to early to have a signature cocktail because they start at 6 pm but it's not written anywhere. But OK I came here to try also the bucket so I took a Glace of red wine for 6 euros (really expensive but good wine) and burger's bucket don't take its taste nothing just pesto and you can't eat it properly or pick it from the bucket without the burger getting in 2 or 3 pieces, no salt or pepper on the fries I did ask for it but the girl came back only for me to paid and when I asked again for salt and pepper because I want it she said yes I come back but sadly I never saw her again. The mayo it's industrial so you can taste nothing fries without salt and pepper and not good mayo don't serve fries it's pointless. So finally I can get my cocktail (I did had to wait 1h for some to get to me after I got the cocktail). I precise they were just 3 tables outside! I final get the attention of the waiters and asked him for my cocktail, I did get it put I came only to have Pikachu on the rock and I just go a sticker on my glass!!! What on the world you advertise Pikachu on the rock and you give a poke all sticker!!! Never do that, it's not what I asked for! And start a long wait a really long wait to get the waiters attention so I can pay, I had to ask 2 times so I can pay. Finally after 45 mins wait someone come so I can pay and when I told them I didn't get my Pikachu on the rock the only thing I could says it's you came to early not possible to make it but you got the sticker... So that mean later people's are going to get Pikachu on the rock for the same prices I paid for a ugly sticker you stink on my finger! To much for me you can get to others bar and get so much better! How you can not even they sorry! I can't believe it! You really should think of what you are doing! Put pix of i got and what they advertised!

    What a gem! I went to many cafés in Thessaloniki, and this was my favorite so far. They know about real, quality coffee and they have a choice of brewing methods, beans.. and the waitress was so friendly and professional. Do yourself a favor and go here!

  • 5/5 Elyoslayer 1 year ago on Google
    This place deserves all the good reviews it has. I came here to meet an acquaintance of mine that visits often. My visit was without bias or expectations since it was on a whim. Yet I have nothing bad to say about it. The cocktails I ordered were phenomenal and and service was good, the outdoor sitting is at a decent open space and during my visit it was relatively quiet as well. Give it a try without reservations.

  • 5/5 Alex D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great coffee. It was perfectly sour as I asked. Coffee was served with water and cake. Price may bite, but anyway I would recommend the place.

  • 5/5 Elena A. 5 years ago on Google
    Our day of walking around Thessaloniki started, and ended, at this awesome cafe. While Thessaloniki is chock-full of cafes, this one knows how to brew a mean coffee. My husband and I both had a cold brew and it was delicious! The staff are great, the music groovy, and the prices pretty descent. Highly recommend for any coffee lover.

  • 5/5 RBDK C. 1 year ago on Google

    Really versatile place. During the day you can get very good coffee drinks while during the night you can experience bar-like atmosphere with lots of alcoholic options.

  • 5/5 Helion P. 1 year ago on Google
    In my opinion it is the best place for coffee in Thessaloniki, the staff is really nice and welcoming. There are a variety of coffee beans from which you can choose with what you want your espresso. At first the place might not look like much but after you sit and enjoy you will understand.

  • 5/5 Nefeli R. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 A Google U. 4 years ago on Google
    You get to choose the coffee grounds amd method of brewing which is very fun. The waiter was very helpful and explained which grounds went best with which brewing method. The cold brew was also nice (understandably, you can't choose which grounds were used for the cold brew) though the portion was quite small. Little pricey. Nice location near the harbour.

  • 3/5 A Google U. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is one of the shops that attracts you to sit and really the space inside and outside is beautiful! I put 3 stars, just because the wine I ordered was a little weird in taste and because the waiter who served us that night had a style of style "you have to get cocktails and good". (Original) Είναι από τα μαγαζιά που σε τραβάνε να καθίσεις και πραγματικά ο χώρος εσωτερικά και εξωτερικά είναι όμορφος! Βάζω 3 αστεράκια, μόνο και μόνο επειδή το κρασί που είχα παραγγείλει ήταν λίγο περίεργο γευστικά και επειδή ο σερβιτόρος που μας εξυπηρέτησε εκείνο το βράδυ είχε ένα ύφος του στιλ "πρέπει να πάρετε κοκτέϊλ και καλά".

    The best specialty coffee in Thessaloniki, I loved my Ethiopian espresso! I strongly recommend a visit. I was expecting the usual small hole for a handful of hipsters, while this is a huge place with a commercial look. Therefore it could make sense for the owners to extend the food options (at least pastries) to accommodate my family breakfasts.
