  • The story of Pavone Café begins with Chef Kostas Christodoulou, who, after a distinguished career in London's top restaurants and hotels, returned to Greece to bring his vision to life. In 2021, Pavone was born on the island of Symi at the backyard of Anastasia Hotel, inspired by a love for quality coffee and exceptional cuisine. Now, in 2025, Pavone is opening its doors in Rhodes, ready to offer a unique café experience.
  • At Pavone, we source fair trade coffee beans and extract them exclusively using fully manual hand-pressed ROK espresso machines, ensuring a sustainable and environmentally conscious approach. Our kitchen embraces global flavors, crafted with pure, locally sourced ingredients—resulting in creative dishes like our signature banana guacamole. Welcome to Pavone, where coffee meets craftsmanship and tradition blends with innovation.

At Pavone Café, coffee is our craft and passion.

We exclusively use full manual hand-pressed espresso machines by ROK, embracing traditional craftsmanship for the purest espresso. Ensuring full control over every extraction for a perfect cup. Our single-origin Arabica beans come from different countries every quarter, staying true to seasonality for fresh, balanced flavors. From our blonde roast House Blend to our 24-hour cold brew and the smooth Oat Milk & Symian Honey Latte, every sip is an experience.Try it today at Pavone Café!
