Notable Athens Openings: Glyfada Sweets and a Pagrati All-Day Café (Update for a Quiet Week)

This week in Athens sees a short but intriguing list of new venues. With both sweet shops making a mark in Glyfada and a thoughtfully concepted café debuting in Pagrati, the city’s dining scene continues to evolve, despite the quieter pace. Here’s a quick look at what’s new on the map.

Chunky Cookie Bar

Chunky Cookie Bar brings its American-style cookies to the center of Glyfada, following its initial spot in Gyzi. Every flavor on the menu is available in a smaller, 60g version, known as "Chunkitos". The shop updates its lineup every month with "Specials of the Month"—recent examples include a Lemon Blueberry Chunky with white chocolate, lemon cream, and blueberries.

Ugly Rolls

Ugly Rolls quickly gained attention for plush cinnamon rolls and now inhabits a compact, modern spot on Artemidos Street in the heart of Glyfada. The team keeps things fresh with a new limited-edition roll each month, updating the menu regularly.

Γοργόνα (Gorgona)

Γοργόνα in Pagrati channels old Athenian café culture with a schedule that begins early, serving Greek-leaning breakfasts and carefully made coffee before shifting to meze-style small plates and cocktails later in the day. Chef Amanda Kontogiorgou Iakovidi, who draws on Greek, Italian, and Japanese heritage, oversees the food menu.
