Ο Takis Papadopoulos - cult baker and passionate man - was born in 1948 in Thessaloniki, when his father worked in a bakery at the Hippodrome and tells us how coming to the capital in 1961, they were the ones who taught the Athenians what good means bagel:
"The bun that was sold in Athens, Greece it was like bread, fluffy and soft, while ours was hard on the outside (like a breadstick). The buns of Thessaloniki (simitia) were immediately blown away. Our first bakery was in Plaka, Adrianou and Kydathinaion. We made 70.000 buns a day and the bakery worked 24 hours a day with the bakers waiting in line for hours to fill their boards in their carts. In 1971 we moved here to the neighborhood and started dealing with it bakery. Then my children, Theodoros and Artemis, entered the store and with a lot of work and searching we arrived, here we are ".
