Slow Athens

Slow is an artisan bakery, coffee shop and wine bar on Agiou Spiridonos in Galatsi, in the north of Athens. Mornings center on coffee, warm croissants made with French butter and sourdough goods, with each pastry fermented slowly using carefully chosen grains. The room is small and collaborative, built around a long steel bar with stools facing the espresso machine and the pastry case.

The coffee comes from Omsom Coffee Roasters. The menu runs from espresso and flat white to filter and cold brew, and bags of Omsom single origin beans can be taken home to brew. In the evening the bar turns to natural wines and sourdough pizza, served from mid afternoon on weekdays.
