About this spot
Lana is an Exarchia staple where the vibe shifts from quiet mornings to a raucous, student-fueled party as the night deepens. The menu leans heavily into simple coffee culture rather than complex pastries, serving up strong Greek brews and light savory snacks like fried cheese or olives. It's the perfect spot to grab a quick espresso before diving into the neighborhood's chaotic energy.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order a frappe early in the day to avoid long lines during peak student hours.
- Expect a standing-room-only atmosphere after 8 PM when the local crowd takes over.
- Bring cash, as many small coffee shops in Exarchia still prefer it over cards.
