    Overall it’s decent and can be better. Menu is fixed with no extras. They said you can’t modify, but you can delete. For example, the sweet and salty option is fixed. But you can delete and pay for what you don’t eat. Same for the rest Food: Eggs are fine, and may better come with optional more spices. The portion is good Pancakes are very good, the portion is fine Coffee: It was very good, try the V60 brewed coffee Service: It was a bit slow for making new orders but each order comes quickly, staff either didn’t hear me well or they were ignorant. But overall it’s fine. This place deserves 4-5 stars if the above isn’t important to you

    Lovely little brunch place in the center of town. The food was amazing, especially the koulouri chicken tahini. Tasted so good we went back the next day to get the same thing. We also had tiramisu pancakes and the bacon mac and cheese both of which were great. Coffee and smoothies were also good. If you can get a seat it's definitely worth it. It does get busy so the earlier the better.

    Ate breakfast here with my husband. Really chic and chill atmosphere dining along the street. Many options to choose from the menu. Waiter and waitresses were very helpful and attentive. Coffee is great which made my day because I am very particular about coffee. I had the sweet & savoury pancakes and my husband had the chicken sandwich. Big portions for our Asian stomachs and we were full until dinner. Would definitely come back again to try other menu items if I could.

    Incredible brunch place!!! The food and the smoothies are amazing (especially Greek Kagiana and the mad mango and green project smoothies), the staff is very nice and attentive, the location is super cute, especially if it’s a nice day and you can sit outside. We’d totally come back!

    I recently tried out this cozy brunch spot in Athens, and it was fantastic! I had a spinach omelette with two slices of bread – one with avocado and the other with cream cheese. Everything tasted delicious, especially the coffee that came with a cookie. The garden outside was beautiful, and the service was really good. They paid a lot of attention to us and made us feel welcome. Overall, it was a great experience. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice brunch spot in Athens.

    The food here is AMAZING! The green omelette is by far the best thing on the menu. Salad was so fresh and flavourful and the avocado and cream cheese bread was excellent. Coffee was delicious and service was so pleasant. 10/10 would recommend. 11/10 coming back.

    What a cute cafe in a lovely area ✨🌿😍 Friendly staff, breakfast was delicious. 🥯🍳 Good coffee ☕️ They have vegan alternatives 🌱💚 We tried 2 different sesame bread dish and they were really good, and I really liked the Be strong smoothie. Try the sweet truffle rolls they sell by the counter we got the pistachio one… so good! 😋

    very cool guys! delicious brunches, good coffee and an extensive menu (bowls, sandwiches, salads, drinks, etc.) we chose sweet and savory pancakes and avocado toast. Be careful, there are so many people from 11:30 to 13:00. The staff are attentive and very friendly.

    Very good fluffy pancakes that are very tasty. The bread ring was very bready... Although the bread is good I would have liked more tzatziki and condiments with it. The salad it came with had honey which makes it heavier to digest (simple olive oil would have been preferred). The Greek salad was simple. The orange juice fresh and good. A bit of annoying street smells that are coming and going.

    We loved this spot for breakfast and going back for more! Interesting area to walk around and can people watch if you sit outside. I had a green omelet, which was excellent and the kids ate every bit of their sweet and salty pancakes. Frappe was powerful and fueled us for the entire day. Tables were small and could have been made of aluminum foil but otherwise very good service and atmosphere!

    I stopped by for a flat white and a cake and the attention and welcome were wonderful - they even put the heater on for me as it was a little chilly - coffee was great. I returned the next day for takeaway & a croissant. The seating outside gives you a perfect vantage to people watch - recommended yes!

    Came back twice because of salmon bagel! The coffee is so good too! Lovely place and friendly staff. The design of the cafe was perfect as well! Thank you.

  • 4/5 Hana E. 2 months ago on Google • 25 reviews New
    Had a delightful experience at place! Enjoyed the delightful Psyri’s Sesame Bread Ring, but the chocolate croissant fell short. Cappuccino is excellent but small, I'd recommend opting for the double. Cozy atmosphere, cute place, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Worth a visit!

    Lovely lovely cafe with great pastries, coffee, and brunch. Very cute courtyard! Only feedback is the Psyri Ring Bread brunch was a little dry and my egg was over cooked. But the rest of our groups dishes were amazing! Especially the pancakes with mushrooms and spinach 👌👌👌

  • 5/5 Sarah S. 8 months ago on Google
    I had the vegan sandwich and it was very filling and delicious. I also tried the foods and drinks of my friends and I can say all of it was just super yummy. Also the staff here is super friendly and chill. I can recommend 100%! We even had the luck to try a snack that they created. It was suuuuuper tasty also 🥰

  • 5/5 Ivan C. 8 months ago on Google
    AMAZING! This place is such an experience! The staff, the food, the location…everything is perfect! I tried the Kagianas scrambled eggs with toasts and Greek yogurt.

  • 5/5 Candice J. 7 months ago on Google
    LOVED this place!! I had the Green Omelette, and it was perfect. The avocado toast that came with it was the best part. My husband had the pancake with eggs and bacon and love it! The place itself was very cute. We sat outside with awesome views of the street life. Would definitely come here, again!

  • 5/5 Dory Z. 1 year ago on Google
    So delicious brunch plates you should try one of these so yummy, but the served my plate before my friends plates so i ate alone and after 10 minutes they got there plates. So i ate alone, thats my only bad review. Otherwise everything is amazing!

  • 5/5 Tyrone 11 months ago on Google
    The outside seating is a nice touch for the crisp, refreshing, morning hours. I ordered Koulouri, traditional round sesame bread, served with tahini (sesame paste), butter & honey spread in between the bread. It was light and delicious. Their hand brew coffee was also very delicious and went well with the Koulouri.

  • 4/5 Lucy C. 11 months ago on Google
    Cute brunch cafe with pretty speedy service and a variety of menu items. I really liked their yogurt in particular. It's a bit pricey but overall good.

  • 5/5 Nana K. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was amazing, everyone was super kind and accommodating, made us feel very comfy. The food tasted wonderful and the portion sizes were also great. We tried variety of wraps and traditional bread with sesame seeds, everything tasted great. Coffee was also good. I highly recommend this breakfast and brunch place!

  • 5/5 Alex L. 7 months ago on Google
    Food is gorgeous, the staff are just fantastic, so welcoming and friendly - we've not even considered going somewhere else for breakfast each morning! The vibe is super chill and the music is superb.

  • 5/5 Michelle L. 1 year ago on Google
    Thoroughly enjoyed our early morning breakfast. Hot chocolate was divine on this cold day. The ham club with potatoes, bacon Mac and cheese, pancakes with eggs, croissants, muffin, and pecan tart were all fantastic. And such nice service.

  • 5/5 Anika S. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything was perfect. Situated in a nice neighborhood. The staff was lovely, great variety of teas and coffee, and the food was super delicious. So far the best vegetarian breakfast I had in Athens

    Lovely wraps, coffee and friendly service!

  • 5/5 Daniel C. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent, well-made coffee with choice of house blend or single origin. The food is also very good and it's a great spot for breakfast or brunch.

  • 1/5 Vik G. 2 years ago on Google
    Beware of bait and switch. They offer drink menu with a very fine print stating 'to go', once you sit at table, the price goes double without a notice. Unethical business practice.

    Good coffee & food, cool atmosphere and nice service. Great place for brunch

    Very good way to start the day or have a lunch. Nice menu with variety of coffees, bread and all kind of stuff.

  • 5/5 Yolly G. 11 months ago on Google
    We came to Picky for breakfast and it was 🤩, we ordered the Green Omelette and the oat porridge and everything was delicious and incredibly well prepared and presented. Not always you find such a good breakfast as this. And they have several more options which I’m sure are as delicious as the ones we chose. Loved it and definitely will come back again. The staff is very nice too and the location just perfect.

  • 5/5 Frederico R. 2 years ago on Google
    Happy, fun, lively, sunny place for your morning coffee break, breakfast or even afternoon snack. Then look for some evening cocktails. Oh yeah, it's one of those places...

  • 5/5 Boris S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good and sunny street seats

  • 5/5 Sophie A. 1 year ago on Google
    Our first stop after we arrived in Athens, and what a wonderful choice! Great menu of food to suit all moods and needs at lunch time, tasty coffee and even better service. We loved the vibe of the venue and would recommend.

  • 5/5 Ali H. 1 year ago on Google
    The egg in the sesame bread was really good and their fresh juices are good and there is a lot of variety. The eggs Benedict could be better purely due to the hollandaise sauce which was a bit less on flavour. Was definitely great food at great prices!

  • 5/5 Khrystyna S. 1 year ago on Google
    Super nice place for coffee lovers, a little gem in Athens! Proper coffee, great taste 😋 Definitely go for cold brew, very refreshing for a summer day. Very friendly stuff, and location, location, location. Heart of the city, very cute street. We are coming here already second day, and will be here for all next mornings of our trip 🤗

  • 5/5 Michelle A. 1 year ago on Google
    Favorite breakfast spot in Athens. The service is friendly and fast. Their ambiance is modern chic boho, though their seating is limited to mostly outside patio which is generally shaded. Their coffee is Devine, I was a fan of their double cappuccino, which they serve little cookies with. They have great yogurt bowls and egg dishes (omelette, eggs Benedict, etc), but their pancakes are a must try.

  • 5/5 Magdalena P. 1 year ago on Google
    We were welcomed by the sweet and friendly staff, they were very attentive by bringing water and always refilling the cups without asking. The interior design is aestethically done. The food was delicious and nicely prepared. We shared most things, so we could try as much as possible. Highly reccomend this cute and delicious brunch spot for all food lovers.

  • 3/5 Kseniia 1 year ago on Google
    Food was OK, just OK, not amazing. Waiters are OK. Be prepared to sit on uncomfortable metal chairs, also a lot of mosquitoes are flying around, never seen so many. All my legs were bitten :( do not wish to go again here.

  • 5/5 Susan G. 1 year ago on Google
    What a lovely place. My mom and I went early on a Sunday morning and sat outside. I had the apple yogurt bowl, my mom had the granola and we shared the banana peanut butter pancakes. Everything was delicious, don’t skip out on this place!

  • 5/5 Philipp L. 2 years ago on Google
    Had an excellent flat white and very good and fresh green smoothie both to go!
