Finally find the best of the best in Corfu. I mean, i tried many specialty coffees in Corfu but most of the were so bad or average. However, this one has the best roasted coffee beans, highest quality machine and the best barista. They knew what they are doing and I am glad that i found this hidden gem!

Add this cheeky coffee shop to your morning crawl. It is a "Hidden Gem". An Independent. Artisan medium roast espresso coffee is prepared to a beautiful standard. The premises are as vibrant as a technicolour Quam Quat.

Definitely the best coffee in Corfu! Me and my wife are true coffee lovers and always looking for a specialty coffee while traveling. We were very happy to found out that this quality place was near our appartment. No matter in what part of Corfu you are staying - this is a place to go! Enjoy your coffee!

To get a true single origin coffee made by skillful and dedicated barista at a tourist places usually mission impossible. But not at Hidden Gem by Spyros. Coffee was excellent (both espresso and V60). Adding to that, the atmosphere and conversation was amazing as well. It is a Michelin Star coffee place in Corfu worth a special visit. If I am in Corfu, I will be there.

Great specialty coffee and wonderful owners. We had a great Panama Geisha on V60, a decaf Mexico cappuccino freddo, and an Ethiopia on espresso if I'm not mistaken—a proper specialty coffee experience. The two owners working behind the bar are super friendly, always smiling, and clearly passionate about coffee. They'll start roasting their own beans at the end of the year, and I'm already looking forward to visiting them again on my next trip to Corfu. Parking is hard to find but there's a semi-abandoned building right before to the coffee shop with plenty of space around it.

Third wave coffee shop with single origin options, decaf, and alternative (vegan) milk. The coffee is delicious and the staff is super friendly and informative. Highly recommend if you're any type of coffee snob.
