Literally the coolest cafe bar you can visit during your vacation. The best place to enjoy your ice cold beer and the summer breeze altogether!

A very kind service. The cappuccino is really italien style. We waited there for the opening time of the museum. So we had a craft beer from Thessaloniki, the cappuccino and a "meze" with the homemade boote (Tzipouro) from his father. At about 4 pm it was the right time after our hike to the Ypsaroin to breite the atmosphere of this village.

We took a walk through the charming village of Potamia and found the lovely town square with fishmonger, butchers, bakery selling sandwiches etc, a bar and this lovely coffee shop. Family run, very clean and friendly we both had the very nice Freddo espresso, and some of their delicious ice cream. The interior of the place is really very nice, with comfy seating and well placed decor. Snacks are available and looked very enticing. I love places like this, very glad we found it. As a side note, the gents is very much like something out of a Stanley Kubrick or Tim Burton movie! Very quirky. Obviously the backdrop to the village is stunning.

we stopped by to have just a cup of coffee and had the most lovely memories at this cafe. very friendly service as you feel at home and having chat with friends. I couldnt believe when the lady gave her daughter's shirt as a gift to my daughter and other lady bought a lollipop. Greek and Albanian hospitality :). We will never forget you and hopefully visit you next year.

Great coffee and friendly service! I got the vibe of an intimate greek town. They also deliver coffee on the island, which can really come in handy.
