Evangelou Confectionery:
The Sweet Heart of Kavala

Evangelou Confectionery has elevated the profiterole into an interactive, personal experience. Here, every visitor becomes a “confectioner” for a moment, choosing the base, the cream, and the toppings from an endless palette of flavours—ensuring that the indulgence is always exactly as they dreamed it. The Story Behind It The story of their profiterole revolves around a single word: Freshness. The idea was born from the desire to offer a dessert that always tastes as if it just came out of the kitchen. That’s why Evangelou produces all its basic ingredients daily and on-site—the small, crispy choux puffs, the authentic, velvety creams, and the rich chocolate sauces. This obsession with homemade production, combined with the innovation of endless combinations, is what made it famous throughout Eastern Macedonia. Why We Love It Because it gives us the leading role! Evangelou’s profiterole is not just a dessert—it’s an interactive experience. We love it because every time we order it, we’re invited to become the confectioners ourselves. The ability to choose one of seven chocolate flavours, even use ice cream as a base, and add any of over thirty toppings turns simple consumption into an act of creation. It’s the ultimate DIY dessert—an indulgence that expresses your personality. Fresh Tips The Profiterole Hack: For those in the know, ask to combine two different chocolates (e.g. half bitter and half milk) for greater depth and balance in flavour. The Experiential Tip: Don’t order it to go! Sit down, take your time choosing your ingredients, and watch them prepare it for you—it’s part of the pleasure. Our Favourite Topping: Try it with fresh seasonal fruits (when available) for a refreshing contrast to the rich chocolate and cream.

When the heat of the Greek summer rises, the answer lies in Evangelou’s freezer. Here, ice cream is not just a cool dessert—it’s a work of art, crafted with a love for Italian gelato tradition and made with Greek ingredients. With a steady obsession for freshness and high quality, every flavour offers a rich, velvety texture and a tasting experience that transports you. And here, you’ll find more than 30 handmade flavours! The Story Behind It The secret to Evangelou’s ice cream lies in the raw materials. The confectionery’s commitment to daily production ensures that the ice cream is made in small batches, using fresh milk, natural aromas, and the best fruits and nuts. The story behind each flavour is a story of balance—between classic technique and innovation—resulting in tastes that linger in your memory. Why We Love It We love it because it’s light yet full of flavour. Unlike ordinary ice cream, Evangelou’s is made with less fat and less air, emphasizing the clean, concentrated taste of each ingredient. Its texture is velvety and creamy without being heavy. It’s the perfect cool option after a day at the beach—or even as a base for their famous profiterole. The option to combine it with fresh fruits or traditional spoon sweets (glyka tou koutaliou) completes the feeling of authentic summer indulgence. Fresh Tips The Combination Philosophy: Don’t hesitate to ask for ice cream as the base of your profiterole! Replace the pastry cream with pistachio ice cream (one of the most popular choices) and top it with a light chocolate sauce. The Absolute Cool-Down: Try the fruity sorbets (e.g. lemon or strawberry) on the hottest days—they’re incredibly refreshing, full of fruit aroma, and perfect for a light option. The Local’s Tip: Ask for a scoop of your favourite ice cream topped with sour cherry spoon sweet—a traditional combination and a must-try gastronomic experience for every visitor to Kavala.
