High Hope has been on Georgiou Gennimata in Ano Glyfada since March 2019, founded by the head barista Vangelis Kirmpasis. Brazil is the permanent house origin, with Colombia, Guatemala, Ethiopia and Costa Rica alongside and guest coffees rotating through, a La Marzocco on the bar and bags to take away.
The one that sells you beans
This is the practical distinction. Every café on this coast will make you a coffee; almost none will sell you the beans to make it yourself. For a household setting up a kitchen here that is the difference between a place you visit and a place you use.
The other rooms on this list are brunch-led. Oven roasts its own and is the closest comparison, but it is a bakery first.
