A wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, creating such a lovely atmosphere. The desserts were absolutely delicious ,beautifully made, fresh, and full of flavor. You can truly feel the care and quality in everything they serve. Definitely a place worth coming back to.

I was here last night and it is now my favorite cafe and I will be back frequently! The owner is super nice which is a bonus to how damn good every pastry we ordered was! Even the cappuccino hit! Get everything on the menu 😋

Amazing first visit! Selin was such a friendly and attentive server, and the owner even came over to greet us. I’ll definitely be coming back again.

Absolutely delicious spot and landmark in the neighborhood! Everything is delicious but I finally sat down to write this review because of this incredible BLT I had this past weekend. Delicious!! My boyfriend had the homemade(!) spinach pie which is always a delight.<br><br>This is such an incredible spot- I love their coffee, and all their food options so far have been just out of this world. The space itself is fantastic and the service is so consistently great.

I had such a wonderful experience ordering from this bakery! Not only were the cookies delicious and beautifully made, but the customer service truly stood out. There was an issue with my original order, and Martha went above and beyond by resending them without me even asking. My friend (the recipient) was completely surprised and absolutely loved them—even sharing some with her daughter who remembered enjoying these cookies years ago in NYC. While shipping delicate cookies over a distance (All the way to Butler, PA!) can be tricky, they still arrived in great condition and were thoroughly enjoyed. I’m so grateful for the care and kindness throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!

What can I say about Omonia Cafe truly one of a kind. I’ve been coming here since the ’80s, through the ’90s, the 2000s, and still today, and every visit feels special.<br><br>The food is excellent, the coffee is always on point, and the desserts are on another level a real paradise for anyone with a sweet tooth. The atmosphere, the music, and the staff all make you feel at home.<br><br>Most importantly, my good friend John deserves recognition. He’s a true pioneer, a big part of Astoria history and so many great memories for everyone and for those of us who grew up coming here.<br>Keep up the amazing work some places don’t just serve food, they create history.<br><br>Mike

Response from the owner

Mike, reading this truly means more to us than you know. Having guests like you who have been part of our journey since the '80s is something we cherish. Omonia has always been about more than coffee and desserts. It's about community, memories, and the generations who have walked through our doors. Your recognition of John and the history behind this place is incredibly appreciated.... his passion and dedication helped shape what Omonia represents today. Thank you for being part of our story for so many years. We look forward to many more moments together.

It was very last minute that my husband and I decided to get a wedding cake for our civil ceremony, and this place was the first and top of his mind — absolutely no regrets about it!<br><br>John, the owner who is always near the counter, took care of us with so much warmth and attention. The whole process was incredibly easy, stress-free, and honestly such a joy during an already busy wedding week.<br><br>What made it even more special was that they were able to incorporate my own illustration into the cake design, and the result completely exceeded my expectations. It was personal, beautiful, and truly felt like us in cake form. Not only did it look stunning, it tasted amazing too — our guests loved it.<br><br>This is such a lovely neighborhood gem — reliable, kind, and top-tier quality. I’m so grateful we trusted them with something so meaningful for our wedding day. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

Response from the owner

Tracy, hearfelt congratulations to you both and thank you for entrusting us with such a meaningful part of your wedding celebration.

We're so glad the process felt seamless and joyful during such an important week. Your kind words about the experience and about John are sincerely appreciated. Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love, happiness and many sweet milestones ahead.

Super dry and brittle. Looked amazing but tasted dry. And the lady upfront gave me a chocolate one instead of a raspberry. Very disappointed. I have been coming here for 10 years plus and this felt terrible especially since it’s Christmas time. Baked goods should be fresh.

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid, and the desserts never disappoint! We got a cheesecake that was sooo good, and I also tried the flan. I wasn’t expecting the orange flavor, so it threw me off a bit, but it was still good. Overall, the desserts here are delicious, and I’d definitely recommend this place to everyone!

Response from the owner

Thank you for your beautiful words and for being part of our Omonia family since you were a kid. That truly means more to us than you know. We're so happy you loved the cheesecake! and yes, our flan has a subtle orange note. We compoetely understand how it can be unexpected , but we're gald you still enjoyed it!

When I first walked in, I was confused why there are two stores right next to each other—hence - focus on one store ..Then I noticed how outdated and dirty the place looked, which was already disappointing. But since I was excited to be back in Astoria, I wanted to stop at one of my old favorite spots and pick up a cake to take home.<br><br>To my shock, when I opened the box later, the cake had mold on it. Absolutely unacceptable. This was such a letdown. I used to love coming here, but this experience was beyond disappointing. Please, get it together.

Nice cafe in the Astoria neighborhood. Has been visiting this place for more than 30 years. The Greek dessert has been outstanding. Having this place open for that long you can feel the wear and tear of the place too

Response from the owner

Please forgive us for the late response. It means so much to us that you've been part of the Omonia familh over the years. Thank you for your continued support, we're always honored to have you back. And yes, we are working on finalizing interior design plans to give you a whole new Omonia!

I stopped by Omonia Café around 10 PM a few weeks ago, and honestly, it was a bit of a letdown. The food is more Greek-inspired American fare, with big portions, but nothing particularly memorable or standout in flavor.<br><br>The real issue, though, was the service. We get that it was late and the staff probably had a long day, but being completely ignored in a restaurant is rough. We had to literally stare down the staff just to get basic attention; they were deep in conversation while we waited over five minutes each time we needed something. We were basically neglected the whole 40 minutes, even when we tried to ask for a check<br><br>It’s a shame — the place has a good vibes and location, but service like that really kills the vibe.
