The cup

KAYA is a stand-up espresso and filter bar set inside Stoa Bolani, a 19th-century arcade just off Kolokotroni Street near Syntagma Square. Run by three owners, it operates a Synesso espresso machine and five grinders and rotates through Greek specialty roasters. A takeaway-focused bar with a serious coffee programme in the very heart of the city.
