It’s World Coffee Day! Which for us, as a marketing agency headquartered on the gorgeous island of Cyprus, might as well be a national holiday.
Cyprus is well known for its beautiful beaches, heavenly halloumi, and wonderfully friendly people; people whose social lives notoriously revolve around the sacred ritual of grabbing a frappe with friends.
From the pappous at the kafeneion to the teens at Starbucks, coffee is a central part of our social lives.
It’s also an integral part of our professional lives.
And no, that’s not just because we’re all caffeine addicts forever in pursuit of our next fix.
It’s because there are many proven health benefits that come from enjoying this glorious beverage.
According to Healthline, caffeine improves several aspects of brain function.
From memory and mood to energy levels and reaction times, the neurotransmitters that coffee stimulates are all essential for that drive and creativity we marketers rely on.
No wonder we can’t have a meeting without it!
So, in celebration of World Coffee Day (a holy day, if you ask us) the Splendid team is here to give you the skinny on the best coffee joints in our beautiful city.

“Addicted to both the Nomad Coffee and the Nomad sandwiches. In one word… YUM!” – Anastasia, Splendid Social Media Manager
Nomad is most known for its use of Underdog Coffee, a multi-award-winning roaster all the way from Greece.

(PS: the pastries and desserts are divine too)
