What’s been happening in the last few years at Vrazilias’ Square has no precedent. Lot51 skilfully navigates the new wave of coffee, serving blends and single origins from the exceptional Area51. Brunch blooms daily, while evenings see the promenade pulsating with a carefree blend of funky vibes. An urban frenzy, a spot where each corner is now a necessary coordinate for a laid-back break from our everyday routines, beneath the palm trees.
Always hospitable in Ilissia, Lot51 isn’t just another all-day spot as you might think. It’s a hub where various creative streams converge, from coffee to handmade bakery delights, refined pastry, comfort food, skilful cocktails, lively parties, and late afternoon aperitivos leading to wild nights. In short, at Lot51, everything’s possible, and everything’s in play – the only certainty is that you’ll never get bored.
It all starts in the morning, with quivers of some of the world’s finest specialty coffees from Brazil, Ethiopia, and other equatorial countries, meticulously weighed and brewed here almost as soon as you open your eyes by experienced baristas, offering you a complete enjoyment experience. And because the coffee market is ever-changing and evolving, at Lot51, you’ll find the city’s most chill cold brew, bottled in 100% recyclable aluminium cans – a concept that Lot51 pioneered and established as a trend. A trend here to stay, given the undeniable practicality of ready-to-drink beverages.
Then come the ever-changing sweets, presenting something new and intriguing each year: the Basque cheesecake, for example, unlike anything you’ve tasted before – juicy, velvety, with a slightly burnt surface and creamy texture with a berry coulis that’s incomparable; the French toasts made with brioche bread and chocolate sauce are simply stunning; the cookies with salted caramel are unbeatable. Of course, there are the pancakes, airy and packed with robust ingredients like Valrhona chocolate or fresh seasonal fruits and honey, the delightful babka, and the incredibly tasty cinnamon rolls.
Their brunch will ‘wow’ you. What to mention first – their comforting renditions of the 50 shades of eggs, in a myriad of forms from Benedict to scrambled, fuel every visit with the fulfilling richness of perfection; the pizzas, their exceptional burgers, the refreshing salads, alongside cool spritzers and invigorating cocktails, set the mood right.
Before we conclude this ode, let’s draw your attention to two more things: Lot51 offers a retail coffee corner where you can get your supplies and brew your coffee at home just the way you deserve, along with their signature series of aesthetically pleasing ceramic cups, the Signature Ceramic, in beautiful pastel colors – and more.
