Opened in 1923, one of the oldest sweet shops in Athens. High ceilings, original display cases, and a canteen system: queue at the till, order, and watch them pour syrup over freshly fried loukoumades. Just as famous is the bougatsa, thin filo wrapped around semolina custard and dusted with sugar and cinnamon. There's plenty of seating at the back and upstairs, plus a toilet.
