Coffee Company
“ But no matter the time of day or a guest ’ s preferences , one thing is guaranteed : all our orders come with a welcoming smile and a willingness to cater to the most demanding coffee enthusiasts .”

However , Mikel ’ s strong reputation for its coffee is not only the result of the beverage itself , but also the set of procedures and high standards followed by its employees . To ensure accurate training , the company created the Mikel Academy . From the origin of coffee beans and the processes of production , cultivation , and harvesting to creating the final product , the academy teaches baristas on both a practical and theoretical level .
“ It has always been part of our philosophy to uphold the authenticity and tradition of Greek cuisine ,” Stelios explains . “ It can often be difficult to maintain authenticity while catering to modern consumers , but we consistently achieve the appropriate balance by building and maintaining positive relationships with suppliers who share our culture and values .
