Mellem

Why it’s on the route

Mellem opened in Kypseli in 2023, run by Vasilis, formerly of KICK, and Nikos, who worked for the roaster Cafeistas, whose beans they serve as filter and espresso drinks. Pastry chef Pavlos Tsiolekas bakes daily cinnamon rolls, cardamom buns and pastafrola, and sandwiches use bread from nearby Flake bakery. Anna Rizou designed the earthy interior, and evenings bring natural wine and craft beer until 22:30.
