Hey everyone,

I’m excited to share something I’ve been dreaming about for a while. My brother and I are planning to open a small coffee shop in the vibrant and beautiful suburb where we grew up, here in Athens, Greece. We have both spent more than a decade abroad, working and living in the USA and Ireland.

We have found a spot and we are close to sign the lease. It’s just 200m from the center of the neighbourhood, and our focus will be on creating a cozy spot for local residents to grab great coffee, relax, and connect.

This area holds a special place in my heart—it’s where I spent my childhood, and now I want to give something back to the community. My vision is to keep it simple and welcoming: quality coffee and bagels.

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

What do you look for in a neighborhood coffee shop?

Is there anything that I should consider before moving forward?

Would you support a new local spot like this?
