UPDATED REVIEW: I came back to give this place a second chance. I was actually planning to order the pear sorbet, as some reviewers had liked it a lot, but both that and the persimmon sorbet I’d tried had disappeared in the days since my previous visit. Instead there was a pumpkin sorbet. I finally understand why people rave about this place. The pumpkin sorbet was delicious with a complex flavor — lightly spiced while eating, with a spicy aftertaste. I guess the lesson is to choose your flavor carefully here.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: For me the biggest thing about this ice cream parlor is that they have unusual sorbet flavors, most of which I’ve never seen elsewhere in Athens. They did not have the pistachio sorbet that reviewers here and elsewhere have raved about which was personally disappointing. I tried the persimmon sorbet instead; the staff told me it’s a seasonal flavor. It was nice and also refreshing but it wasn’t the most stunning flavor I’ve ever had or anything. However the staff is very friendly and helpful, and as I mentioned, they have a variety of sorbet flavors you’re unlikely to find elsewhere. The main downside for me is that the portion was smaller than elsewhere although the price was higher.
P.S. Reviews elsewhere say they’re not related to the same-named parlor on one of the islands but the staff member who served me told me they had worked at the sister parlor last year.
A selection of flavors is already visible from outside, with clear vegan labelling, but when we entered there appeared to be a couple of other vegan flavors as well. The inside space is quite small, and can get chaotic when a lot of people are trying to pick a flavor.
I was a bit disappointed not all labelled vegan flavors were available today, but there still were plenty of other options to choose from. Husband took the Aztec chocolate, which was amongst the best chocolate ice creams we ever had! Very very rich and tasty.
I had the chili chocolate, and the chocolate with the spiciness turned out to be a very delicious combination. The first flavour in the mouth is chocolate, with a spicy (but not too spicy) aftertaste.The iced espresso I had as well was good too.
All in all definitely worth a visit, there are a couple of original flavours, and the ice is simply delicious!
I love that they have such unique flavors! They’re also eco friendly and the staff is very nice. I got the pistachio sorbet. It wasn’t too sweet and wasn’t like any other pistachio ice cream I’ve ever had!
Seriously, this ranks up there with the best vegan ice cream I've ever had. Tried the Aztec Chocolate and it's amazing. The cafe is brilliant and the entire front row of ice cream choices are vegan. Very fairly prices too, for the excellent quality. An absolute must try.
We tried the peanut butter sorbet and the Aztec chocolate. Both very tasty. There were several other tempting vegan options too. Great there were vegan cones too. Beautiful café and friendly staff.
Only sorbets are vegan, but tastes are not usual. There was a chili chocolate sorbet that seemed interesting. I had a pear sorbet. Good but a bit too much sugar.
A selection of vegan sorbets which are really REALLY good. The cones at vegan as well. Has two tiers of sorbet - standard and gourmet which is 1€ more expensive, but the gourmet appears to have chunks of fruit in it.
Very good looking place with good service. Ice cream and sorbet was tasty but range was lacking. Not as clear as their competitors what was vegan and what wasn’t.
It’s like taking a bite in a fruit, the sorbet are so good! I took both Apricot & nectarine sorbets, and both were so tasteful, I really recommend the place.
That was the best sorbet I’ve ever had in my life. The apricot mmm, and the pineapple taste like pineapple Dole whip from the fair when I was little. Mmmmmm
