Perfect for a quick bite

I managed to visit this lovely bakery twice during my short stay in Athen and I had a selection of pastries and parcels and everything tasted so fresh and delicious. There is a seating area both inside and outside, but if crowded Syntagma square with benches and shade is just around the corner for a take away snack!

Pros: Selection of food, 100% Vegan, Quality of food

Cons: 1 moody member of staff

Best croissants

Very large selection of baked goods. We had the croissants and the almond croissant was one of the best croissants I’ve ever had. Liked it so much went for breakfast again the next day.

Pros: Selection of baked goods, Very reasonably priced, Eat in or take away

Cons: One of the waitresses not particularly friendly.

Delicious!

I got the caprese sandwich and the Dubai croissant. Both were phenomenal! Highly recommend any croissant based dish here, they’re fluffy 😚 On the better end of vegan French pastries.

Wow, this is a must visit

I was in Athens for a few days after a cruise and wanted something good for lunch. Found Holy Llama on here and it did not disappoint.

Not only was the service absolutely amazing and welcoming, the food was delicious. The homemade cashew mozzarella - woah, this was INCREDIBLE.

We had the BLT and the filled croissant. Honestly, you must visit if you're in Athens. I'm annoyed I didn't go more than once.

Pros: Mozzarella and tomato croissant, BLT sandwich

Nice BLT

Very nice interior & friendly staff. We had the BLT, a mushroom pastry & an almond croissant. The BLT was fantastic, really tasty seitan bacon, lots of avocado. The mushroom pastry was good, tasty enough. The almond croissant was quite dry, it did say it was twice baked, so it was big but not soft like the raspberry croissant at Gnou, so for me it was a little disappointing. The coffee was nice.

Must visit bakery in Athens

We went twice in 2 days, they had a great selection of pastries and it was hard to believe it was all vegan!
We had: 'steak' (BBQ tempeh) croissant, smoked 'salmon' and cream cheeze bagel, cruffin, dubai croissant, pistachio wheel and the crookie. My omni partner also really enjoyed it.

Best pastry shop I've been to

Lots of choice, really good place to go for a pastry or lunch. We had the pistachio croissant and tartelette, as well as the savoury mediterranean croissant. Loved them all, really recommend!

Exceptionally good croissants, but the service could improve

The food and beverages were really good. Probably one of the best vegan croissants that I've ever eaten. However, our experience with the service could have been better. They forgot our order and then brought wrong items.

Llamazing!

Beyond delicious! We started with an orange turmeric shot that packed a punch and then an almond croissant that was light, flaky and oh so good!

We plan to swing by before we leave for the airport to take a few treat to go.

incredible food and coffee

wow ! This was the best place I have been for vegan pastries. The pistachio wheel was absolutely incredible for breakfast. We also went back the next day to try lunch options which were also delicious!

The coffee was delicious too and they offer both oat and pea milk.

Great bakery

This was listed as one of the top 10 vegan bakeries in the world in a recent HappyCow  Instagram post, and it’s easy to see why. I had a latte, coffee, cookie, and everything was great, and a lot more looked really great. Nice relaxing, setting as well.

All vegan brunch!

A lovely little spot - lots of options - everything vegan. Holy Llama was recommended to us by a tour guide on a vegan tour in Athens and the pastries all looked fantastic. Everyone in our group (vegan and non vegan) loved the food.

Tasted better than it looked

I really appreciate Holy Llama's diversity of options, and I wish I had more time to try other dishes. That being said, the foods I did have weren't anything special. I had the chickpea omelette and a pain au chocolat to go. The chickpea omelette was decent, but lacked flavor (although I really enjoyed the cream cheese inside) and the texture of the "egg" was a bit dense. I also asked for no mushrooms, but received it with mushrooms anyway. The pain au chocolat had a good texture and flavor, but still lacked the flakiness of a true croissant. But, I love seeing a vegan cafe like this. The staff were friendly, and it was very wholesome to watch other customers walk in and ask in awe "and this is all vegan?!"😄

Pros: Large menu with unique options, Good vibes, All vegan!!

Cons: Nothing special

Favorite breakfast spot in Athens

We had a great breakfast here and took a croissant with almonds to go (so good!). It’s the place to go when you are frustrated by all the delicious looking not vegan bakeries. Here you’ll have all the options.

Pros: Sweet and savory breakfast options, So many choices, Cute café

Cons: Passive aggressive service

Delicious

We came here after an acropolis tour and starting. We got the blt and the steak croissant and both were so delicious. We also got a Dubai croissant and I have never tasted anything so good. Great service and even better food.

Delicious pastries and super nice staff

This place is amazing you must take a trip if you’re in Athens !! The croissants are so tasty, not too expensive, and the lady in the shop was super nice and talkative!! The previous review mentions them not being as good , and comparatively to Amsterdam, yes, Amsterdam is better for vegan bakery, but compared to the UK this one in Athens will blow your mind !! So yummy

Pros: Delicious pastries , Good price , Open til 7pm with pastries still available!

Have had way better

Unlike others, I didn't enjoy my pastries so much. Maybe I'm too spoiled with fantastic bakeries in Amsterdam...
The cruffin was very dry.
The pistachio croissant was a bit dry too and the pistachio felt cream felt too artificial.
