Αθηναίων Πολιτεία

An all day bar, coffee place, brunch, cake Cafe and possibly dinner.? Nice upstairs seating. Toilets could be cleaner. Lovely young waiting staff with excellent English. Food OK not outstanding. See pictures. A touristy place, so not bad value. 2 brunch dishes, 1 coffee and 1 sour cherry juice 30 euros.

Service was quick and food was good. Has a nice view on the Arcopolis. Gyros was really hefty. Prices are decent. If you are getting some appetizer, a drink and a main course expect to spend 25+ euros atleast.

Maybe the worst place in central Athens. Dirty tables, chairs. Awful food and coffee. No service at all. I do not recommend to go there.

Nice location with view of the Acropolis and surrounding area. The "niceness" however, diminishes in view of the rather indifferent service, (or was it overwhelmed, as one server going to opposite sides of the establishment to take orders?), so-so food and drink offerings and extended wait time for order to arrive. Early afternoon, should have been more up to par one would think. Price-wise rather good, but perhaps that's the hook. Tourist trap perhaps? Can do better.

Apparently it's "tradition" to be served a full bottle of water (1L) even if you just wanted to have a cup of coffee. My girlfriend and I were very surprised when we found out that we needed to pay for the water bottle as well even though we hadn't touched it. I mean it's just 1,50€ which wasn't the problem at all. This negative surprise just added up to all the negative experiences we made at this café. First of all, the espresso freddo that I ordered was extremely sour. That only means that the person who operates the espresso machine doesn't know what she or he is doing. The espresso was so under-extracted to leave that horrendous taste. You expect just better from a café. The cappuccino latte that my girlfriend ordered was okay. Secondly, the service was very rude. We didn't feel welcomed at all. Especially, after we ordered just two drinks. Initially, we came for an afternoon bakery snack and a coffee, but after seeing the menu and the motivation of the service, we just had our coffee. We sat outside and enjoyed the view on the Akropolis which is probably the only positive we take from here.
