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.

Delicious vegan pastry

Stopped here for a croissant and a tea and was very impressed with the vegan pastries. Definitely recommend and a shame I didn’t get to try more!

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.

Amazing fully vegan bakery

We were amazed to come across a fully vegan bakery close to our hotel. We asked an employee to choose a selection of her favorite pastries for us to try and all were unique. My favorites were a vegan sausage and caramelized onion in flaky pastry and a square croissant-like dough filled with creamy chocolate. We will be back to try some more options.

Pros: Everything is completely vegan, In the Plaka close to many hotels, Friendly service

Cons: Not fond of the custard cream in some pastries

Holy delicious and fresh food

Tastes very fresh. The flavors are perfectly balanced. There are a few tables inside, and a few more in the outdoor seating area in front of the restaurant. The menu can be viewed via a QR code, and each dish is shown with a picture. We had the avocado toast, the stuffed sourdough bread, a double cappuccino, and a freshly squeezed orange juice. The display case is filled with croissant-style pastries.

Pros: Fresh, Lovely, large selection

Excellent

Nous avons pris un sandwich et le croissant salé tomates/mozza. Et un rouleau feuilleté pistache en dessert.
Très frais. Goûts subtils et équilibrés. Sauce salade excellente.

Fantastic bakery! Not to miss!

My mum and I stayed in Athens for a week and visited this bakery several times - everything they served was fantastic! Their pain au chocolats are the best vegan pastries I have ever had, the coffee was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helped us practice our Greek. We will definitely be back next time we are in Athens!

Absolutely great!

Everything was very tasty!

We tried different pastries (the Bougatsa was the nicest for our taste!) and had the Udon noodles for lunch. Super yummy!

Service was friendly and funny.

The place is bright and welcoming and we had a very good time there.
Thank you for that! ♡


The classification about Holy Llamas prizing policy at the HappyCow App [$ of $$$] should be reconsidered possibly.
The prizing seems worth of it to us, but it's definitely not cheap and possibly a bit misleading.

Great coffee with oat milk

I finally found oat milk. It seems there is a lot of soy out there but it was nice to find an alternative. Baked goods were amazing and fresh juice too. I will come back as often as I can.

Pros: Coffee, Baked goods , Juice

Cons: Nothing
