What's great:
All classic Greek pastries (baklava, kataifi, gianiotitiko, and others), classic cookies (melomakarona, kourabie, koulourakia, and more including seasonal favorites), and other Greek specialties such as rice pudding. They also make savory cheese pies, tsoureki bread, and miniature Greek pastries.
What to know:
The bakery is part of a restaurant/event space called Victory Garden Café.
They will prepare trays of pastries for parties and weddings. They also make a limited selection of sugar-free cookies.
