Samba Coffee Roasters | The Shop

Fabulous freddo flat white! The shop is cute and straight to the point. Service a bit rough but the quality makes up for it. It is possible to drink coffee in ceramic cups, which feels great after countless cafes only offering paper or plastic to go cups. 100% recommend.

One of the best coffee places in Athens. Delicious blend, friendly neighborhood vibe and even have kombucha. My go to coffee

Such a great little spot! The cortado was excellent — creamy, not too bitter, and beautifully served. Perfect place to recharge after a morning run. Staff was super friendly too!

We searched for speciality coffee shop in Athens and came across Samba. Delicious coffee- best we’ve had so far in our trip. Oat milk available, apple pie was delicious and so was the gluten free banana bread.

AMAZING coffee in Athens! If you are a coffee connoisseur, you are in for a treat. Loved my iced coffee with oat milk. You could just tell it was quality coffee

Cute shop with a variety of special coffees, and very well prepared by the staff, prices are also good. Theres place to seat outside but it’s quite loud.

Below Average coffee to me, very light bodied and too acidic. Had the house blend, tried both espresso and long black. Also a side note that the prices displayed are for takeaway, and sit down prices are not displayed. According to the Takeaway menu displayed, you have to ask the staff for the Dine-in menu, rather odd, refer to photo of the menu board. Will have rated 3 stars for the coffee quality and overall ambience but reduced it to 2 stars as the Takeaway menu is so obviously big and prominent, while the dine in prices are about 0.50 to 0.60 euros more and not prominently displayed. Also no water provided (notice that other cafes seem to provide water), and it’s self service even for dining in. I think it’s fair to pay more for dining in, but it should be stated more clearly upfront and not in this case, where a big menu (size of the pillar and facing the entrance) only displays the Takeaway menu.

The upstairs with a/c is an absolute haven from the heat. Coffee was decent, and we enjoyed a cookie as well. The upstairs stole the show as we needed a spot away from the heat. They have wifi as well.
