?EAT THIS TONIGHT-

Dampa is a friendly no-fuss hangout in El Korba.The cozy cafe is a perfect spot to catch up with friends, grab a quick drink, or get some work done. The menu has the usual suspects, with a couple of special drinks like the Depano or custom creations.

The Greek touch is more in the aesthetics than the menu, so don’t expect any of the traditional meals or drinks — although that doesn’t make them any less appetizing. We found the Depano, which comes in three flavors (peach, blueberry, fruity), really refreshing on a sunny day. As for the caffeinated drinks, we enjoyed the cappuccino, which you can also get flavored with vanilla or caramel — but being the old-school folks we are, we opted for plain.

The owner is extremely friendly and will make you feel welcome in his space. He’ll even let you customize your drink so the choices are endless. You can then pair it with one of their sweet pastries, but for us, the drinks were the stars.

Once you’ve crafted your concoction, you can shack up on one of their tables. The space is great for a work-from-home day and offers WiFi, although it isn’t the fastest. But, the lighting of the inside area runs a little dim so if you’re looking for brightness maybe shift your operations to their sunny outside area.

If you’re not in the mood to work, feel free to grab one of their board games and battle it out with your friends. The cafe has a huge selection for your group so Dampa is well-equipped for long hangouts or whenever you want to get out of the house.
