☕️🍫 A hot chocolate bar (w coffee too) with a lovely menu (it’s in Greek, but staff speaks English well and can talk you through the options). Everything from 32-100% cocoa options. Sultry jazz plays as you melt into a delicious cup of joy. We will return to try EVERYTHING on this menu!! 😋 Indoor & outdoor seating…
