Its 24 hours I have used at 3-4am , they normally have a good selection of snacks but Gregorys bakery is a nice place to get a few Tiropittas ( Feta Cheese pies ) for about EUR1.50 each
Also if you have an iPhone get the ATH Airport App there is lots of info on cafes/shops/airport info on it and its free to download.

Sofitel is a ripp off and not worth it for the few hours.
