Visitors say
This is the closest place to the pier where you can drink draft beer! It's the best! The staff are also very kind and friendly. Thank you.
Great location next to the port. The people working here were always friendly and helpful. The food was good, loved the fresh juices, and the prices were fair. Can get crowded though.
About
Way Cup is a coffee shop located in Mytilini, the vibrant capital of Lesvos, where the café culture runs deep and a good cup of coffee is taken seriously. Situated in the heart of the city, it offers visitors a welcoming spot to pause between exploring the waterfront promenade, the bustling agora, and the historic streets of the old town.
At Way Cup, guests can expect well-crafted espresso drinks alongside the Greek staples — a strong freddo espresso or a creamy freddo cappuccino are essential rituals on a warm Aegean day. The café atmosphere balances the unhurried warmth of island hospitality with the energy of a city that takes pride in its cosmopolitan character.
For travelers making their way through Mytilini, a stop at Way Cup is a natural fit: it is the kind of place to recharge, watch the city go about its day, and settle into the slower rhythm that makes Lesvos so easy to fall in love with.
Before you go
What to expect
The coffee here is taken seriously — expect a perfectly pulled freddo espresso or a velvety freddo cappuccino served cold in a glass, the way Greeks drink it. It is a good spot to settle in at a table, watch Mytilini's daily rhythm unfold, and take a proper break between the waterfront and the old bazaar streets.
Best time to visit
Open year-round; summer mornings are lively before the heat peaks, while spring and autumn bring a more relaxed café crowd.
How to get there
Way Cup sits right in central Mytilini, within easy walking distance of the ferry port and the main waterfront — no car needed if you are already in town.

Convenience store close to the ferry entrance Don’t expect value for money Most of the island has better offerings in case you are not in a hurry

It’s a convenient spot very close to the ferry. They serve beer, but they should also serve coffee in a real cup.

I'm giving five stars to this place because the staff was helpful and friendly, and their spinach pie is a very tasty meal for a low price while waiting for, or after arriving on, a ferry. I'd recommend them.

Their location is well positioned for travelers arriving by ferries. They are a nice first stop for a coffee and quick breakfast. Friendly staff.

Rude and evil people. I will never sit in this cafe again. Their main aim is to take your money, the quality is very bad, the service is also very bad. The cups are dirty and unhygienic.
