Kypseli
The Underdog.
Athens’ original specialty brand on Fokionos Negri — own roastery, daily from 8am.
Athens specialty coffee brand founded in 2015 with its own roastery (The Underdog Roasters). The Kypseli location sits on Fokionos Negri, the neighbourhood’s pedestrian boulevard. Espresso, filter, cold brew, decaf — daily 8am to 8pm.
The Underdog started in Athens in 2015 with a roastery and a flagship in Thissio. The Kypseli location, on Fokionos Negri — the long pedestrian boulevard that cuts through one of the city’s most atmospheric old neighbourhoods — is one of the brand’s urban formats: compact, consistent, and rooted in the same specialty credentials as the original.
The coffee is roasted in-house by The Underdog Roasters, which gives the Kypseli café a supply chain most competitors can’t match. Espresso, filter, cold brew, decaf — served daily from 8am to 8pm, to a crowd that includes Kypseli residents, remote workers, and anyone who has discovered that Fokionos Negri is one of the better streets in Athens to spend an afternoon.
One of Athens’ oldest specialty brands, reduced to its essentials on Fokionos Negri.
The broader Underdog project — award-winning baristas, international specialty recognition, a developing franchise model — is largely invisible at café level. What you see on Fokionos Negri is a well-run specialty coffee shop on a good street. That is enough.
