Best brunch in Thessaloniki
A good brunch café in Thessaloniki treats the coffee as part of the meal, not an afterthought. This guide is about finding the kitchens with short seasonal menus and a proper espresso bar, and about timing your visit so the wait doesn't eat the morning. Roasters currently counts 32 cafés in Thessaloniki, #2 in Greece.
The best brunch cafés in Thessaloniki share a few traits: a short, focused menu over a 20-item brunch overload; a coffee program that doesn't take a back seat to the food; and a steady flow that doesn't make you queue for 90 minutes. Most are independent — the brunch scene in Thessaloniki skews local, and the standout rooms are the ones where the same crew has been running the bar for years.
