Cuisine Type: ZIMARI specializes in a delectable array of savory pastries, brunch delights, and sandwiches that will tantalize your taste buds. Imagine sinking your teeth into a freshly baked Mini Σπανακοπιτάκι ($0.60)—these little spinach pies are reminiscent of the ones your grandma would proudly serve, showcasing layers of flaky goodness and rich, flavorful spinach. Or, try the Φλογέρα Philadelphia ($2.40), an artistic creation that harmonizes rich cream cheese with delightful pastry, making each bite a melody of flavors.

For a satisfying brunch, the Scrambled Eggs 3 ($10.00) comes beautifully plated with a mix of gouda and turkey, accentuated by colorful cherry tomatoes and fresh onions. Pair it with the classic Αυγά Μάτια Με Avocado Mix ($10.00) for a refreshing take on breakfast, where creamy avocado and crumbly feta create a delightful contrast to perfectly cooked eggs.

The inviting space makes it perfect for a casual meeting, a cozy brunch with friends, or a playful afternoon snack.

Don't just take my word for it; patrons love the experience, with reviews highlighting the generous portions and unbeatable prices, especially during their closing hours when sandwiches and pastries are half-off.

Good bakery near the main store street in Athens. They have plenty of sandwiches, cakes and pastries. Some Greek. Greek pitas, salada and traditional Greek pastries. Of course coffees and juices. We came before closing and all the sandwiches and pies were half price. (Sandwiches usually are 3€ and we paid 1,5€ for each). Food is very nice if you compare to some other places.

Great coffee and delicious pastries! Eleni and both Alexes (yes, there are two of them, lol) were so sweet and fun. We weren’t sure what to get, and they ended up giving us complimentary pastries! Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in town.
