Best brunch on Ithaca! We had brunch at Avli on our 2nd day on the island and have since been looking for an opportunity to return. Eggs, omelettes, pancakes, yoghurt with fruit, English breakfast, freshly squeezed juices and ice coffee were all freshly made and delicious. The staff are polite and the service is quick. My youngest son just asked me to comment that “their pancakes are devine”. Must try the Greek inspired bougatsa pancakes with cream, fylo pastry flakes and cinnamon. Thank you Raphael & team, we will be back!

A hidden gem, almost obscured, next to the Drakoulis building. A good place to chill any time during the day, have a beverage, get some breakfast, brunch, a snack. Great view of the Vathy harbor, although, most likely the anchored yachts during the summer will not allow to see much else. Good service, friendly and accommodating. Quick to correct any mistakes. The food and beverages were satisfying. Reasonable pricing.

Just had lunch here and the food and atmosphere was lovely. However, the star of the show was the service. A young waiter (school age) served us with the attention and expertise that is rarely seen and in one so young. Thank you.

Really friendly and chill cafe. The server was really sweet, the cake I had was homemade and delicious (large serving size as well! I definitely could have split it!), and the best part: unique blends of loose leaf teas!!
