Acropolis Bakery

A proper Greek bakery where the counters groan under trays of baklava, spanakopita, and sesame-crusted loaves that taste like they've come straight from an Athenian kitchen. Strong coffee and warm hospitality make this Holloway institution feel more like a family friend's front room than a bakery, and the queues of regulars suggest very little has needed changing in years. Pop in for a pastry and you'll likely leave with half a dozen, plus a new favourite spot for a mid-morning coffee.
