Which is the best Greek Cafe in the U.K? and why is it “Think Pastry” in Edinburgh?

Because it exceeds expectations of what a Greek cafe is. The best Greek cafe in the U.K needs to have the best Freddo Espresso. Think Pastry has exactly that. It’s intense but not bitter.It’s pleasing and aromatic and made with a lot of love.

The U.K is by default more associated with tea than coffee. Yet, there is a significant Greek community in the beautiful Scottish capital that tends to feel a wee homesick from time to time. An iced espresso and a traditional greek pie, as they make it in Thessaloniki puts your heart back in its place!

It is natural that it has a 5/5 star review on its Facebook page;

Family First

The cafe is run by some of the nicest people I have ever met. It’s a family business. As a result, everything tastes homemade. This is essential for the best Greek cafe in the U.K, making the customer feel welcome and well taken care of.

Even the furnishings are made by the people who run the place. That means a lot, it means that minds, hands and hearts are aligned to bring out the best cafe experience in Edinburgh. All details are handed carefully.

Greek hospitality has a reputation to live up to. If you cannot go to Greece now, and you want to experience the best Greek coffee and the best Greek snacks, Think Pastry is the place!

The Menu

Think Pastry’s menu features a lot of delicious recipes. There are vegetarian, vegan and some keto options. It’s the plethora of options and the flavor balance that makes “Think Pastry” the best cafe in the U.K.

There is an outstanding variety of Bougatsa pies. Bougatsa is a northern Greek take on Filo(thin pastry layer). The best Bougatsa is the sweet custard cream one, hands down. The first time you try it, it's shocking that something so tasty exists!

There are toasties and jaw-dropping, juicy, delicious cakes to choose from! What is more, there are some Greek products that are not easy to find in the U.K. The divine-tasting fig jam and the legendary chestnut jam, for instance. In addition, Think Pastry offers different types of Greek honey that taste so much like home.

What really makes my heart melt is that they also offer products that speak to my inner child. The best Greek cafe in the U.K offers Chocofreta, a type of chocolate-encased wafer that is extra crispy. As a nineties kid, I was having that while watching Thundercats! It is just impossible to resist!

The Experience

I consider myself a regular at Think Pastry. My lows and highs taste better with my black iced Espresso (Freddo Espresso Sketo). Before I go out and run, I get my pre-workout coffee from there. When I feel like writing, I go to the best Greek cafe in the U.K.

It is as close to home as I can feel. It is a ritual of self-love. Starting the day with an iced Freddo Espresso sharpens my mind and perception, it also calms my heart.

Go to Think Pastry and treat yourselves!
