Yiasemi

Mnisikleous 23, Athina 105 55, Greece

Yiasemi is a café in Athens, Greece on busy Mnisikleous—a steep, stepped, pedestrian street in the Plaka area that leads down from the Acropolis and is lined with cafés and restaurants. It feels like one of the more characterful offerings on the street, with two separate indoor spaces, seating outside on the steps (of course), tons of plants and flowers, and adorable mismatched furnishings and décor. There’s a selection of meze and other dishes but your best bet is to grab a tea or Greek coffee and something sweet to snack on—one of the homemade pies or the honey-drenched, big-enough-to-share baklava. Yiasemi is a nice mix of locals and tourists, buzzy and busy without feeling rushed, and offers superb people-watching.
