When it comes to coffee shops in Athens, the options are endless.
One of the biggest draws for Greece digital nomads is the laidback lifestyle. Coffee shops in Athens are the kind of place where you can spend a whole afternoon relaxing, quietly sipping your cappuccino or reading a book.
Unlike other popular digital nomad destinations, however, not every coffee shop in Athens is suitable for working. That’s why we’ve scouted out the best spots based on wifi connection, seating options, food and drink menu, and general working environment.
Here are our top picks for coffee shops in Athens!

10 Best Coffee Shops in Athens for Digital Nomads
1. Dope Coffee
This place was without a doubt my favorite coffee shop in Athens. The upstairs space at Dope Coffee is quiet, bright, and airy; busy, but never crowded. The nice thing about this place is there are always a few other people working there, which is rare for coffee shops in Athens.
With a great location downtown, and freshly roasted coffee, you can’t beat it!
2. Peek a Bloom
Tucked away in a quiet alley, Peek a Bloom is the perfect place to spend your workday. With a full menu of food offerings and quality coffee, there’s no reason to leave! The tables offer plenty of workspace and you can choose from indoor or outdoor seating.
3. The Underdog
The Underdog is another great coffee shop in Athens for digital nomads, with award-winning brews and a delicious brunch menu to boot. The outdoor patio is a great place to get some work done – just be aware it gets hot in the summer!
4. Taf Coffee
Taf is one of the most popular coffee shops in Athens, attracting both locals and expats alike. The seating is comfortable and the bright, Scandinavian style space is perfect for working, and the service is always friendly.
With brews from all over the world, their coffee is top notch and surprisingly affordable. Don’t miss the locally brewed Greek coffee!
5. Yellow Cafe
Yellow Cafe is another place to work. It’s popular with students and young professionals, and unlike many coffee shops in Athens, there are always people there with their laptops out. The atmosphere is great for concentration and productivity.
6. SCRY Coffee Bar
Located in the Kypseli neighborhood, SCRY serves up delicious food and coffee in a work-friendly atmosphere – an oasis in the heart of the city. For Greece digital nomads with a sweet tooth, work your way through their menu of gourmet waffles and desserts.
7. Kinono
Kinono is both a great place to work and one of the best brunch spots in town. The high ceilings make it feel light and airy, and the spacious seating area means there’s almost always a table open. The wifi is strong, and the food is fantastic. What more do you need?
8. Kain
This artsy and relaxing space is one of the top coffee shops in Athens. Located in one of the city’s most beautiful neighborhoods, Kain manages to be both trendy and down to earth.
The wifi is strong and there are plenty of outlets to recharge – just make sure you finish your work before the place transforms into a cocktail bar in the evening!
9. Ohh Boy
If you’re looking for a vegan/vegetarian-friendly coffee shop in Athens, Ooh Boy delivers. They serve a full menu of all day breakfast, brunch and sweet treats.
Located in the up and coming neighborhood of Pangrati, it’s just a short walk through the National Garden. Once you’re there, you’ll find a friendly and bright cafe, with plenty of space between tables so you can work uninterrupted.
10. ThirdPlace
Increasingly frequented by Greece digital nomads, ThirdPlace has become one of the most popular coffee shops in Athens. The location in the historic center of Plaka doesn’t hurt either!
Aside from the fantastic coffee and sweets, the minimalist space is also great for working. It’s quiet, peaceful and has plenty of room to spread out.
