CAFÉ

A book café where personal time becomes valuable

There are cafés where you can simply drink a coffee. And then there is Vivliostatis (bookend in greek): a book café in the heart of Halandri, created for those seeking a moment of calm, inspiration and creativity. A café for reading, for conversation or for those times when you need a little space for yourself.

Surrounded by the warmth of wood, the company of books and the aroma of freshly ground coffee, Vivliostatis invites you to give yourself that rare gift: quality time for yourself. Lose yourself in the pages of a novel, work in peace, meet up with a friend.

A premium coffee, a handmade pie, some jazz music or classical music and a library full of stories are always a good reason to take a break during your day. Because Vivliostatis is a lively place where conversations flourish, friendships grow stronger and ideas travel. A meeting place that adds value to every moment.

It is a very nice cafe in terms of atmosphere, I consider it ideal for reading/teleworking, BUT I think that the quality/quantity of the products on the menu in relation to their price is not good, the espresso freddo costs 4.5€ which I consider the price to be moderate to expensive and the quality of the coffee is mediocre, a Thessaloniki bun with a little tomato and cheese on the edge is 6€ which is a joke, a tuna tortilla salad which is simply a tortilla with canned tuna again is 6-7€ (I consider it expensive) in short, it is a very nice shop for relaxation and teleworking but I do not consider the menu to be good and I believe the shopkeepers should review it

A family library that was transformed into a café

Viviostatis was born out of a love for books, music and human stories. It was created around a 60-year-old family library, which is always open to all visitors. On its shelves you will find literary, philosophical, historical, travel, essay, dictionary and art books in Greek and French. A collection that is constantly enriched with new publications and carefully selected copies.

Here, books are not part of the decor. They are part of a complete experience, where words, melodies and people coexist harmoniously. You can read them on the spot, find them again on the page where you left them, discover new titles and get to know their authors through frequent book presentations.

Next to the library, the rich collection of vinyl records and CDs creates a magical atmosphere: jazz, classical and ethnic music are always in complete harmony with your thoughts and the stories you are leafing through.

Coffee as a ritual, taste as an experience

At Vivliostatis, coffee is a ritual. Cafés Richard, originating in Paris and with decades of tradition in the art of coffee, brings to your cup that fine balance of aroma and intensity that sets it apart. With exquisite blends and careful preparation, each cup offers a premium experience for coffee lovers in Athens.

The flavours follow the same philosophy: handmade pies, tarts, snacks and sandwiches are prepared daily with fresh ingredients and care, to perfectly accompany coffee, reading or a good conversation. At Vivliostatis, flavour has soul – and coffee has personality.

Here, books, music and friends become one

Vivliostatis often transforms into a small but welcoming stage that brings book presentations, meetings with authors, discussions and musical events to life.

Jazz concerts and acoustic evenings set the pace in the afternoons, while cultural events bring together people who love the arts, creativity and communication.

If you are looking for a jazz café in Athens, an ideal place for reading and inspiration, or a quality café that hosts book presentations, at Vivliostatis you will find it all—and something more: a community of people who enjoy sharing the joy of being present.
