The Best Cafes in Limassol
The food in Cyprus includes many of the traditional Greek dishes. And while Mediterranean cuisine is prominent in the restaurants, café food is a little different.
Many cafes offer light snacks like eggs, toasts, pastries, and so many acai bowls you’ll feel like you’re eating out in Hawaii. Other cafes offer breakfast, lunch, and even dinner options.
Although many of the pastries offered will be Greek desserts, you’ll also often find French breakfast pastries like croissants. Bottom line: There’s truly lots to enjoy!
1. A Modern Café
If you're looking for a trendy and popular spot, The Cookhouse is a must-visit. This café offers superb coffee and delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner options.
For breakfast, the avocado toast with a dash of lemon or an acai bowl are winning choices. The quinoa salad and Asian salad are excellent options for later in the day. This cafe also serves eggs benedict, pastries, cakes, and other healthy bowls.
The Cookhouse is located in a bustling area filled with cafes, restaurants, and shops. This makes it a great café at which to grab a drink, a bite, or both before or after doing some shopping nearby.

This café offers excellent coffee and freshly baked croissants in various flavors. The café’s charming design and friendly service make it a delightful spot to recharge during a shopping spree.

In addition to being a bike shop, it offers a wide array of specialty coffee choices, sandwiches, and a health-focused menu with detailed nutritional information and calorie counts for each item served.
Located near the seafront promenade, Inex is a popular spot for bikers taking a break from riding along the cycling path located right on the promenade.
However, you don’t have to be a cycling enthusiast to stop by and enjoy the selection of hot and cold coffees, tasty food, and inviting atmosphere.

La Barista is a go-to spot for its excellent coffee and comfortable atmosphere, which makes it a great place to work.
Beyond coffee, they serve freshly baked pastries and desserts, and they recently added smoothies and open-faced sandwiches to the menu. An excellent way to enjoy one of the best Greek cheeses of Cyprus here is to try either the Halloumi Pie or Halloumi Toast.
Located in the heart of Limassol City, the café offers indoor and outdoor seating. In addition, the café’s incredibly nice owner, Tony, is wonderfully friendly, adding to the charm of the place.

If you're in the mood for both coffee and a gourmet burger, Espresso Drops is the place to go. Located across from the promenade in the Germasogeia area, this café serves unique burgers, such as curry-flavored and caramel-inflected options.
The café only has outdoor seating, so it's best enjoyed during pleasant weather. It’s a fantastic place to sit, enjoy a meal, and soak up some coastal atmosphere.

This café combines a healthy menu with a beautiful seaside location, perfect for those looking to enjoy a nutritious bite in a relaxing setting.
However, there are only a few outdoor tables, so if you can’t snag one, this is great spot to grab a coffee and/or snack and then head to the nearby beach for a picnic.

8. A Café, Natural Products Shop, & More
Located on Gladstonos Street, The Shopkeeper & Co. offers a unique coffee experience. They serve excellent coffee and have a tasty food menu, featuring items like banana bread and open-faced sandwiches with fried eggs.
However, the café also has a small shop that carries natural products such as soaps, body creams, facial cleansers, and more. In addition, the space houses a bookstore with a good selection of English-language titles that include volumes on art, travel, fashion, and food.
The Shopkeeper & Co. is definitely a one-of-a-kind spot. I don’t know of any similar coffee shops in Limassol where you can enjoy a tasty coffee with or without a meal and browse for natural products and cool books.

A wonderful place for a Sunday morning coffee date with the youngsters in your life is Cafe Toucan. The spot serves delicious coffee and has a great breakfast and lunch menu.
There are no typical tourist style dishes here, instead they offer delicious syrniki (Eastern Slavic cheese pancakes) that come with blueberries or strawberries. They also have a great shakshuka and a fantastic ham sandwich.
What sets this café apart is its kid-friendly atmosphere, with board games, coloring books, and even a whiteboard for the youngest of young people to draw on.
It's the best cafe to visit with children for a fun and relaxing time. However, you don’t actually need kids to enjoy the excellent food, drinks, and attentive service.

Jam Restaurant Café is a charming venue located in a quaint alleyway in Limassol's Old Town. It’s best visited on pleasant days when you can sit outside and enjoy the lovely atmosphere.
But this gem offers much more than a good location. Part of the Old Port Hotel, the café serves delicious breakfasts, including eggs benedict, avocado toast with fried eggs, muesli, acai bowls, and many other choices.
There are also tasty lunch and dinner options, such as burgers, salads, and healthy bowls. The consistently courteous service is a lovely bonus.
The indoor seating is perfectly fine, but I highly recommend sitting outside if the weather allows.

They also have tasty desserts, including healthy and vegan options. In addition, you’ll find good sandwiches. While seating is limited, Nomad is popular for takeaway or a quick snack.

Columbia Beach Café is a beachfront café restaurant that offers stunning views of the sea, a modern ambience, and a diverse menu of food and drinks.
It’s popular as a day spot for a leisurely brunch, but it’s also a lovely venue for evening dining. And let’s just say they serve excellent cocktails too.
At this charming seaside retreat, you can also relax on the sunbeds by the beach, soaking in the refreshing ambiance of the coast while ordering your nibbles and tipples.
This is one of Limassol's most popular spots, especially during peak season (June to September), so I definitely advise you to make reservations in advance.

13. The Best Café Chain
In Cyprus, there are several well-known coffee chains, but perhaps the best is Caffè Nero. They have a wide range of food and snack options, including sandwiches, salads, cakes, and pastries. Their cheese pie and spinach pie are particularly tasty.
The Caffè Nero Dasoudi location, right by Dasoudi Beach, is perfect for those looking for a place to get some work done. It features a communal worktable as well as indoor and outdoor seating.
Another favorite is Caffè Nero Molos, situated along the seafront promenade in Limassol’s Molos area, ideal for cranking out some work, sipping a coffee, or even enjoying a leisurely meal by the sea.
And lastly, Caffè Nero Limassol Marina offers a popular meeting place to cool down on a hot day or escape the worst of what passes for winter weather here.
With views of the azure waters of the marina, you can choose a spot in the capacious, high-ceilinged interior or at one of the umbrella-shaded outside tables. Either way, hot coffees, iced classics, and attentive staff await you.

Bakery Kafeneio Healthy Foodbar is a café for those seeking a healthy breakfast or lunch, with vegetarian and vegan options among their offerings.
Located near the municipal garden and zoo, Kafeneio serves up a vast selection of healthy sandwiches, fruit and nut-based drinks, smoothie bowls, and salads.
There are seating options both inside and outside. Aside from its incredibly clunky name, there’s plenty to like to here.

If you're looking for a cozy café with a great atmosphere to work in, Wagmi Café is just the ticket. This new café, located in the Old Town and close to the shops of Anexartisias, is truly a perfect spot for the digital nomad.
Wagmi offers individual tables specifically designed for laptop use, and each is equipped with power outlets. The café features a varied food menu, as well as pastries and desserts. The banana bread and carrot cake get great reviews—and deserve them.
