WHO WE ARE

Our story begins somewhere in the middle of 2015 and more specifically on April 9th.

Going through a journey of 4 years until it reaches its current form, in September 2019. The name “Retous” is a photography term (“retouche” in French) and is related to the place, as for many years it was one of the historical sites of the city, Athanasios Manthos’s old photo studio*.


*The name of the studio was inspired by the poem “A. Manthos” by Christos Bravos set to music by Thanasis Papakonstantinou.

We tried to maintain the history of the building while adding not only our own aesthetics, but also the two basic elements with which our character is identified: the specialty coffee - it’s the first specialty coffee shop in the city - along with the unique TAF Roastery varieties and the special constantly updated list of cocktails.

We combine a modern all-day bar with fine music. After the latest renovation, we separated the basic elements of our philosophy - the coffee bars and the cocktails - thus defining our character more clearly as well as contributing to the functional development of the best quality products and the evolution of our services.

Between the two bars, there is a retail shop, a place with customized products that bear our identity.

On the upper floor, there is the only pop-up store in the city where various exhibitions and presentations have taken place.
