Coffee Island

Coffee Island is a cafe at Pierion 178 in Veria. One of Veria’s busiest Coffee Island stores, with more than 500 reviews: familiar Greek-chain espresso, freddo and takeaway on the avenue. For a more traditional pace, try the kafeneio on nearby Ifestou.

Opening hours: Monday to Friday 6 am–9 pm, Saturday and Sunday 7 am–9 pm. It is rated about 4.6 out of 5 from roughly 501 online reviews. Phone: +30 2331 075777. Website: http://coffeeisland.gr. It suits a coffee break, a light bite or an afternoon meet-up, and takeaway is standard in Greek cafés. Afterwards, the old Kyriotissa and Barbouta quarters, with their traditional houses and Byzantine churches, are an easy walk away.
