Best cold brew in Thessaloniki
Cold brew in Thessaloniki ranges from the classic 12-hour steep to nitro on tap, espresso tonics, and Japanese-style iced filter (the one poured hot, straight onto ice). Roasters maps the specialty cafés in Thessaloniki doing the cleanest, most considered cold drinks — no syrupy chain cold brew, just specialty coffee, properly cold. The guide draws on the 32 specialty cafés and roasters the community has mapped in Thessaloniki.
Beyond classic cold brew, the cafés worth visiting in Thessaloniki also pour Japanese-style iced filter (brewed hot onto ice, preserving brightness) and espresso tonic (a double shot over tonic water — sharp, clean, summer-ready). Roasters surfaces which cafés are serving each.
The best cold brew in Thessaloniki starts with the same beans the café pours hot: specialty-grade single origins. The difference is the method — long, slow extraction in cold water (12–24 hours) produces a smooth, low-acid concentrate that can be served straight, over ice, with tonic, or on nitro tap.
