I vised Warehouse last year. Service terrible, coffee awful.
I passed Taf on my way to an autonomous farmers market in Exarchia Square. I looked forward to a coffee on my return but sadly closed.
As Warehouse was nearby I decided to revisit.
Warehouse is more of a wine bar serving coffee than a coffee shop. In the cellar a couple of hundred different wines, wine by the bottle or glass, plus food.
Water was brought as soon as I found a table. This is the norm in top coffee shops in Athens.
Curious, did they serve craft beer? Yes a choice of three, I chose one from northern Greece, one I had tried at Little Tree a few days earlier, the other from US I wasn’t interested in.
It is one of life’s ironies more likely to get a craft beer in a Greek coffee shop than a failing English pub.
What I had was excellent, reminiscent of Punk IPA.
What I did not like, strongly flavoured savories to accompany.
I then decided on a cappuccino. A choice of Ethiopian or Guatemalan. I chose the Guatemalan.
It was far better than what I had on my last visit. But not as good as the best coffee shops in Athens have to offer.
Service had improved since my last visit, but still not great.
I was there all afternoon until it got dark, chatting to a pleasant young English couple. Then, and there is a first for everything, asked to vacate the table as booked.
We then walked in the direction of The Acropolis, through Monastiraki to Plaka.
