The traditional bakery house culture is given an innovative, entrepreneur touch and meets the modern "coffee to go" trend. Our goal is to bring these two concepts into harmony as effectively as possible. The "coffee to go" trend is now common in all international markets & has repositioned coffee as a "lifestyle product" and the value of its image has been increased. It was in this context that we developed the Focaccino concept and prepared it for the market. At the centre of this concept is our top-quality exclusive products "pie" and "focaccia" in combination with our carefully selected European "coffee" supported by the development of a young, trendy coffee culture that has been given a wholly new importance.

Our menu is daily and special because we use excellent quality ingredients to make everything from scratch…We have an enthusiastic, smiley, young team of professionals, anticipating to serve you and we appreciate our customers more than anything, as YOU are the backbone of this bakery-cafe. We are so grateful to each of you for your support and for your contribution to our newly established wonderful places!

Focaccino stands for an entrepreneurial food & coffee experience in a comfortable atmosphere and see itself as a new interpretation of a combination of "self service bakery" and "coffee to go", started from two male childhood friends, young businessmen, lovers of "traditional Greek pie".

Within their daily busy frustrated life they were searching to indulge themselves to a home made Greek pie similar to the one from their childhood years made by their mothers.

This type of pie they were dreaming of could not be found similar in the market at that time so that was it. The idea was born, the decision has been made and the 1st Focaccino store has been founded in Palaio Faliro. Focaccino's name comes from the latin verb "focus" which defines the "warm" and "baked in oven". Besides its famous handmade pies based on "grandma's recipes", unique tasty hot dogs, exclusive grilled cheese sandwiches with daily baked bread from our bakery chefs, from olive oil made focaccia and a big selection of pastries are offered in our stores in the most competitive prices in the market and a worthwhile experiencing friendly and cozy environment.

The second self owned Focaccino store very soon has followed the 1st in the region of Goudi while currently 8 stores are active in Athens and 1 Master Franchise in Thessalonica while new spots are in progress in different regions in Attica and Thessalonica from friends and trustworthy partners sharing the same vision with us under Franchise scheme.
