Our Guestbook
“ I love coming to this place. I’ve been going here for years and the pastries are delicious. I always want all of them. I think price point is fair. The one complaint this place gets is the service, which in my experience has been overall ok, once in a while it gets spotty. I also love the corner location of this cafe, it’s very open and has a chill vibe. I recommend this place if you have a sweet tooth. ”
“ I felt compelled to come on here to give this place a 5 start rating simply because they employ GOOD people. I suffered my very first hypoglycemic episode ever in this bakery. I went in already with tunnel vision and desperately ordered a cookie. As soon as the young lady understood the gravity of my situation, she immediately helped stabilize me. Handed me the cookie without prioritizing payment, and handed a cup of water with sugar. She had me take a seat. I remember struggling to talk and think but I will ever forget the kindness I was shown there. Whoever you are, you saved my life. Thank you ”
“ My all-time favorite place to go after a nice long church service nearby from the church. Food here is very good; And the atmosphere is almost like you’re in Greece. The staff could be a little rude as some of the more reviews say but I would say as of writing this it’s gotten better. Will come again ”
“ I see that this place doesn’t exactly get the rating is deserves due to many not enjoying the hospitality that comes from this place. When it comes to their desserts everything is delicious, I can see how people could feel the service is not up to par and alot of that has to do with the fact that the family that owns this place comes from abroad and their English is not that good. If you want a high quality selection of fresh dessert you will not be disappointed coming here. ”
“ I'm so happy.I came to this bakery for the first time today from mother's day. The lady serving us was very nice and helpful. The desserts were delicious. We had chocolate strawberries, galaktoboureko, ravani,and mini baklava. ”
