Mind The Cup

mind the cup takes its coffee seriously, and peristeri is better for it. this part of athens, west of the center along emiliou veaki, isn't somewhere most visitors end up, and that's exactly why the locals who come here keep coming back. you're not stopping in because a travel guide told you to. you're stopping in because someone you trust pointed you here. specialty coffee in a neighborhood like this means something different than it does in kolonaki or monastiraki, where the audience is already converted. here, the bar is set by daily habit, by people who know what they want before they walk through the door. when you're in peristeri, make it a morning stop.
