Omonia Cafe

great place for dessert. MUST GO!

This place has the best Greek pastry!!!!!!!! the atmosphere is great and cozy. Good for a romantic dessert place.

Great place to go and hang out with friends over a cup of coffee and tasty desserts. I enjoy coming here.

Omonia has the best sweets ever!! If your craving for a good dessert, you must come here!

I have been to Omonia many times. This is a great spot to go with friends. Menu is extensive, service can be a little slow when they are busy, food (especially dessert) is delicious. If you have a sweet tooth, Omonia is the place for you!

I took my boyfriend here so he could taste the Tiramisu that I had been raving about for so long and halfway through eating it, he pointed to the mirror I was sitting behind and there was a ROACH crawling on it! We immediately told the hostess about it and she lazily sent a cleaning guy to remove it but by then we were so grossed out and also upset that the fact that she and a waiter were laughing about the situation up front that we asked for the check. My boyfriend asked to speak with the owner on the way out and not only did he not say sorry about the situation, he childishly went up to the mirror and made a scene, throwing his hands up and saying "where is the roach?".Needless to say, I will never go there again.

Great food, great desserts, good drinks. The staff is great sometimes, but sometimes they are sad (forgetting utensils, not giving you exactly what you order, having to find your waiter/waitress)

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE. I never write reviews on restaurants, even if the service was terrible. However in this case I must. I experienced horrible service at Omonia Cafe. It was a couple of customers inside, it looked like a nice place. It was a terrible place. The waiters were very LAZY. I ordered a pasta dish which had red pepper all over it. I had to ask for water twice. The waiters would pass my table over and over again and not stop to check on my table. Some waiters were sitting down and chatting. It was so bad I had to take my plate of half eaten food to the bar and ask for a container so I could wrap my food and go. One waiter ask me what was wrong? I said who is serving my table, where is the waiter that took my order I haven't seen her in the last 20 minutes. The waiter stated they were in a shift change. THIS IS NO EXCUSE. Other customers were being serviced. I asked to speak to the manager and the manager came to the bar and had nothing to say. I explained my situation and he just stood there, while some of the waiters were still sitting down chatting. This place is a DISGRACE. I asked him to accommodate me and take a percentage of my bill since I could not finish my food without anyone giving me water refills and how I was disappointed with the service. He threatened to call the police and refuse to accommodate me, nor apologize for the service. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE.

Omonia is a Greek cafe that has been on the corner of 33rd Street and Broadway for many years. In the summertime, it becomes an outdoor cafe as its glass windows are completely removed. Enjoy the typical Greek delights, including baklava (layers of phyllo dough, honey, and pistachio nuts), melomakarona (a honey dipped walnut cookie), galaktoboureko (custard in crispy phyllo dough), and kourambiethes (powder sugar-covered cookie). When I need to bring a small gift to a friend's house, a box of melomakarona and kourambiethes cookies never fails to please. You can also get delicious cheese/tiropita and spinach/spinakopita pies to eat there or take out. There is a big picture outside the cafe announcing Omonia's claim to fame--they made the wedding cake that was featured in the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding."

PROS: central location, good Greek eats
CONS: hot in the summertime if there is no breeze
