A must visit for anyone visiting Athens! - Edit
This is our second time in Athens and we were so excited to try Holy Llama. Their bakes and cakes are unlike anything you’ll find anywhere else. We didn’t try their sandwiches or salads but will definitely be back for one in the future.

So delicious - Edit
6/26/2023 - If it’s Monday, it must be…Athens! We just had the best breakfast and coffee at Holy Llama, a little all-vegan bakery. Croissant hot dog (you know, to get your proteins at breakfast), chocolate croissant, and a sharp, sweet espresso. I’ve never had anything as good as this in my vegan dining adventures—and there’s so much more on the menu to try. Totally worth the hot sweaty walk over.
Read moreOur stay in Athens was unexpectedly extended, and being able to try out Holy Llama is a serendipitous benefit — oh the fun of travel with an open schedule.
Free wifi, very clean, very helpful staff, very good service.
Pros: Quality, flavor , Service , Spotlessly clean
Cons: Price

The best vegan pastries I’ve had - Edit
This place is amazing, we were in Athens for 3 days and went back there every single day. Their BLT and open mushroom sandwich were absolutely incredible and we tried several pastries which were all amazing too and great coffee also. Staff were all absolutely lovely!

Delicious vegan pies! - Edit
Our last stop before heading back to the airport, but definitely a good one!
Read moreI took a pie with mushroom and tomato sauce and a pie with mushroom and "cheese", and my husband only took a slice of lemon cake.
Both pies were absolutely delicious, with a well-flavored filling and definitely not too dry as far as the crust is concerned.
The lemon pie was very moist and equally delicious.
Would have loved to try bigger meals here, but there simply wasn't enough time anymore.
Pros: Many options to choose from, Friendly staff, Delicious pies and cake

Really torn… - Edit
I really wanted to like this place. Being the only dedicated vegan place, we could find in Athens we were very excited. Upon arriving, we ordered the carrot cake, an almond wheel, and a chocolate item in the shape of the singer. We took everything back to our accommodations to enjoy later.
Read moreI believe our first item is just a difference in how Europeans eat carrot cake versus Americans. The frosting on the carrot cake was very sour for a cream cheese frosting. We are used to a sweeter frosting and it really made it not enjoyable for us. The almond wheel Was lacking as well. I did enjoy the chocolate dessert and would have it again.
Pros: Everything is vegan

Well served vegan food! - Edit
Holy Llama is definitely a restaurant I would come back to if I’m in Athens! Their interior is very cute, their staff is friendly and their food is amazing!
Read moreTheir food is well served, the taste is good and they have a lot of delicious pastries as well.
We both enjoyed the BLT sandwich (I thought) which was served with nice crispy bread. I also bought a Wonder Wheel, which was just heavenly good! The pastry was very crunchy and the inside was delishhh.

Cozy Cafe with Great Food and Coffee - Edit
This little cafe is perfectly located between several other vegan/veggie spots! It’s got a great atmosphere with a wonderful menu. I got the french toast and a latte. I usually don’t like lattes without a bunch of sugar, but this one was fantastic! I also really loved the ceramic dishes with the cute lama imprint. Adorable!

Incredible pâtisserie - Edit
We were recommended Holy Llama as 'the best vegan café in Athens' and they were not kidding! Look at the layers of lamination in that pastry - absolutely to die for. The pastries are buttery, flaky, beautiful. It is pâtisserie prices (read: cheaper to take out, but still more expensive than your average coffee shop here) but it is worth every cent. The coffee is strong, the pastries are fresh, and the service is excellent.
Read moreAccess: seating inside and out with table service; bathrooms in basement down spiral staircase; water served gratis and water point available for refills.
Pros: Beautiful pastries , Strong well-made coffee, Comfortable seating

Best bakery in the world!!! - Edit
I haven’t been all over the world, but I feel like this is a safe candidate for best bakery in the world. Went once and came back the next day because it was unreal. I honestly can’t believe it’s vegan, the croissants are the best thing I’ve ever tasted!! Everything amazed us, well worth the price, and a cute little patio in a nice area with friendly staff. Wish I could have brought it all home with me!!

Favorite Vegan place in Athens - Edit
This is the ultimate vegan bakery plus brunch restaurant you must visit while in. Athens. The menu is updated very often so you always have something new to try. My personal favorites, chocolate cake and vanilla cookie, both sugar free, the soya yogurt bowls, local dish named kayanas - eggy taste, tofu scrambled, babka. Don’t miss trying the homemade pies and the month’s special edition croissant.

Delicious but not as cheap as HappyCow says - Edit
To survive the days until dinner we came here to buy some snacks to-go. Almond croissants, hot dog, pizza bread, mushroom pie and babka. The mushroom pie wasn't to our taste because the filling had a lot of red pepper but the rest was really delicious. Especially the almond croissant with its creamy filling was *chef's kiss*. Since we had to leave Athens early on a few days for day-trips or for the airport, we bought snacks a day in advance and the croissant and babka were still totally fine. Only thing we noticed: We wouldn't call the products cheap as HappyCow says ($ of $$$) but would have rather placed the bakery into the $$ category.

Pistachio and chocolate wonder wheels are to die for! - Edit
The food and pastry here were amazing! We had the tofu scramble, BLT, capresse croissant, quiche and sausage roll all of which I would recommend. The pizza roll and mushroom and cheese melt weren’t my favourite but my partner liked them! Now the show stealers we’re the sweet pastry’s, the pistachios and chocolate/praline were sublime! Wish I lived in Athens to get this regularly!
