Mocabayo... I'm in Thessaloniki for work and I spontaneously found this location during my strolls around the upper city. And what to say, it was amazing. I loved everything about the place: the trendy exterior design, the colourful details, the chilled music, the tasty drinks, the delicious food, the super friendly and sympathetic owner of Mocabayo... the overall vibe was just great. I enjoyed every second that I was staying here and I definitely recommend this place to all the people that want to experience a positive and happy place. I will join you again

We had a great cappuccino and a wonderful new treat--fresh-squeezed orange juice with a dash of spirulina and cardamom. Deliciously refreshing and a wonderful spot right near the Trigonion Tower an the old wall. The guy running the shop was super-friendly, too!

Three years later, we returned, eager to relive the experience. Timing was perfect; we arrived just after their three-month winter break. The owner's warm invitation to their reopening party the following day was a delightful surprise, and we gladly accepted. As always, the cocktails were exceptional, the service impeccable, and the atmosphere perfectly relaxing. This spot remains a must-visit on our Thessaloniki itinerary.

We tried the lemonade with turmeric (take some pepper with it for the real detox experience), the hibiscus tea, the Greenpeace Cocktail and a Gin Passion Fruit cocktail. All of the drinks were so refreshing and tasty and for very reasonable prices. The owner is quite open minded and friendly. If you around Kastro, perhaps visiting the citadel/prison and the gate please stop there and enjoy the drinks in the shadow of the walls. You won’t regret it.
