Omonia Cafe

I headed to this bakery on a very glooming dark, rainy Monday, I had just finished an appointment and wanted to treat myself to somewhere nice and read my book in peace. I’m not as familiar with the bay ridge area, as I don’t head to south brooklyn as much not have that many cafes/bakeries in my list there. I was searching for somewhere nice, and Omonia’a popped in my search list. All i can say is that it was much more than i expected for. I walked into a very warm and cozy bakery-diner style, with a plethora of sweets, pastries, cookies,cakes, baklava, and more! I was stick for about 5 minutes unsure on what to order, even with the help of one of their waitresses, really they had so many delicious looking options that I was overwhelmed with them. Finally after a lot of thinking and recommendations from the waitress ( very nice and pleasant person, really helped me with their options) I was able to settle on getting three different betefore cookies ( butter cookies) and a Portokalopita cake; which had the perfect texture and moisture, absolutely perfect! I was fairly disappointed that they didn’t have any strong quality chai, as by the look of the place it was middle eastern, but they did serve chai which was good, but no without evaporated milk, i was served some warm milk instead which was still decent. I sat in one of their cozy booths on the side, I had quite therapeutic and calm reading session at Omonia their Portokalopita was very juicy and delicious, the way they extracted the orange really brought out all the flavor in the Portokalopita As for their betefour, it had the perfect about of crumble, not too sweet either which was perfect, i forgot exactly what was the filling but if i’m most mistaken it was cranberry which made the cookie even better! Their chai as I said wasn’t amazing, but it was okay and had some strong flavor, no zaffron sadly but the portion of the chai was nice, a whole teapot for about 8 dollars! Frankly speaking for the price i paid it was more than perfect, I spent about 17 for all of this. Overall speaking I really loved my experience at Omonoia, would definitely recommend coming here to my friends! Also, service here is really nice, the staff are very friendly and helping people. Very patient people who really want to serve their customers in the best way they can!

I went in for breakfast this past weekend for the first time. I don't know why it took me so long to check this place out. It is such a sweet cafe with a great assortment of desserts and an even better menu selection, which includes cocktails. The service is really good, the staff is friendly and the establishment is very clean. The banana pancakes I ordered came out fluffy and full of banana flavor. And....I greatly appreciated getting a mojito before 10:am to go with my food. This place is definitely a great spot to get a guick meal, to hang out with friends or just sit and work on your computer while having coffee. I will most certainly come back in the near future.

Great service, friendly staff. The Waiters were extremely courteous and it's a really nice place. Definitely would recommend to friends looking for a place to go for a out to eat.Convenient price and great fresh food. .. and many choices for the cake..

One can discern the care which goes into the food’s preparation, as the ingredients and presentation are top-notch. Desserts mouth-wateringly displayed in a vitrine by the entrance. Al fresco seating in season, mercifully not enclosed in ‘Rona-proofing as if Omonia were trapped in 2020. Waiters polite and knowledgeable.

Been coming here for the past 10 years and you can’t really go wrong with any option. They have everything you can think of - some might be better than others. A very chill spot to grab a bite, some desserts, and share some tea with friends and family. A go to spot for sure!
