Coffee shop
Peggy Sue
Peggy Sue near Monastiraki draws brunch crowds for its towering Jenga French toast sticks, industrial-leaning room, and broad breakfast menu with matcha, freddo coffee, sandwiches, bowls, and eggs.
The story
Peggy Sue has become known for the Jenga Tower: nine cinnamon-sugar French toast sticks stacked with dips, substantial enough to share and often the order on nearby tables. Around it, the menu runs wide through eggs Benedict, shakshuka, croque madame, avocado toast, yogurt bowls, pancakes, sandwiches, smoothies, matcha, and freddo coffee. The Athens branch sits on Thiseiou, just off Ermou and close to the Ancient Agora, with seating spread across two floors and outside tables. The room reads modern and lightly industrial, while the pace can turn busy, especially on weekends and holidays, when lines form for brunch and the queue may bend around the corner.
