New family-run Greek cafe and bakery opens

By Karen Johnson  Tuesday Jul 28, 2026

Trays of fresh kadafi, baklava, focaccia sandwiches, cakes and brownies are neatly lined on the counter of the newly opened Bean There Too.

A family-run Greek cafe owned by Amanda Gioka, Elvira Rami, and Victoria Kote, Bean There Too has opened in the former home of the award-winning East Bristol Bakery in Old Market.

Speaking to Bristol24/7, the female-led team at the cafe and bakery said: “Bean There Too is built on a passion for quality, community, and fresh food. Our journey began with a vision to create a welcoming place where people can enjoy speciality coffee, freshly baked goods, and exceptional service every day.”

The cafe offers a range of Greek-baked goods alongside the more widely available coffee and cake options. All food is prepared in-house, fresh every day.

“We believe that great food brings people together,” said the team. “And we’re proud to serve our local community with traditional recipes, high-quality ingredients, and a friendly smile.”

The team wishes to make every customer’s visit, even if it were just for a takeaway order, feel like “home”.

While the cafe is fully operational, the team will be hosting a grand opening event on September 5 and is keen for the local community to join them in celebration.
