Our Story
A sweet story of 30 years of love
A sweet café that holds every moment when we want a joy, or a comfort, made as if it came from a mother's kitchen.
1997 — The beginning
The first sweet shop in Psiri
It was 1997 when Antonis and Aliki Katsikari opened the first sweet shop in Psiri — in a neighbourhood that had barely any shops at all. Until 2012, Ta Serbetia stou Psiri remained the only sweet shop in the wider area, pioneering the simple idea that people would sit down in a shop just to enjoy dessert.
The name itself tells the story: Serbetia comes from the word serbeti — syrup. And syrup sweets have always been the heart of the shop.
2014 — The second generation
A modern workshop, the same soul
In 2014, the second generation took over. Andreas and Maria took Ta Serbetia stou Psiri a step further, creating the modern workshop where small and great culinary wonders happen every day. Everything is handmade with pure ingredients and carefully selected raw materials, without ready-made mixes. The desserts of this historic sweet shop are now known for their flavour and quality.
The smiles of the people here are perhaps the sweetest delight you will find at Ta Serbetia stou Psiri — and perhaps one of the secrets of its success.
Today — The third generation
30 years later, still a family affair
30 years later, the team is complete with the third generation — Filippos and Lydia — who play an active role in the family tradition. The same family still stands behind the counter, welcoming old friends and new visitors with the same warmth that has defined this place since the beginning.
The Syrup Sweets
Syrup delights for every taste
Syrup sweets remain the protagonists, just as the name promises. How can you resist the unique orange pie, the exceptional ekmech politico, or the künefe with its creamy cheese? Ravani, galaktoboureko, baklava, and even the sparrow's nest — there is a syrup delight for every taste.
European Pastry
From tiramisu to chocolate temptation
There are plenty of choices from European pastry too: tiramisu, lemon pie, cheesecakes in various flavours, carrot cake, and luscious panna cotta. But Serbetia is especially loved for the Glyko tis Agapis (Sweet of Love) and Agapi me ta Sou, which remain beloved classics and often lead your steps to number 3 Aischylou Street.
The bananato, chocolate pie with orange, chocolate pie with cream and cocoa, and the agapi bueno create the most delightful chocolate temptation.
