I've been going here for the past year since going back to the office. The father and son (who I believe are the owners) were always nice and no BS !!! Today I see that the cafe has been boarded up and there's a sign that says the name of a new cafe and that they're hiring. I don't know if Cafe Nostos closed or they're rebranding or what. I was surprised... I'm sad because I don't know what happened it seems so sudden and I was here just last week !

Absolutely incredibly pastries -- the spanikopita (spinach bite) is the best I've ever had. Highly recommend anyone coming here to try the pastries. Awesome place to hang out or work and get coffee.

It's easily one of the best pastries out there! I don't think it's made in house (I've had the exact same one frozen and baked at home) but it tastes so good nonetheless!

Amazing quality food and service. Twice we've come, twice we've been charmed. Come early though, they sell out of some inventory!

Went there today. Greca Salad was delicious. So was the Latte. Also bought a tyropotas. Super flakey crust and good cheese. Highly recommend!

Flawless.Sandwich, salad, pastry, coffee, and hot cocoa were all phenomenal and of high quality. Service was great. An absolute gem -- will stop by again!

It’s been a couple months since I came back from living in Greece and I felt a sudden longing to relive my days of drinking a freddo cappuccino and nomming on a savory treat. Google freddo cappuccino and this is the only result you get in the Bay Area. I drove an hour to visit this cafe with 0 expectations, and I’m happy to say it was amaaaazing. If you haven’t tried or heard of the freddo I highly recommend it (greek style cold coffee). In addition I tried the spinach and feta pie and the ham and cheese pie (Zambonotiropita), both with perfect flaky pastry and yummy fillings. I wish I lived closer ?

I walked into Cafe Nostos on a cloudy, gloomy November day. The moment I was there, I felt the calm and peace. I bought some of their pastries to go because they reminded me of my grandmother's sweet pastries back in the day when I was a little kid. They looked crispy on the outside and soft and delicious inside. The owner warmed up the pastry and cut them into quarters. I tried hard not to eat it on the way home because it smelled so home-y yummy. The owner looked like a sweet, welcoming guy and the atmosphere was unlike your Blue Bottle uptightness. If you want to feel like you are home, this your place. -I have now galloped the whole pastry, and my GOD, it is SOOO GOOD. Can't wait to go back there and fully enjoy it all.

Great breakfast and lunch place - european style. Their pitas and sandwiches are super tasty and good in size. Coffee is as it should be :). Friendly staff, dog friendly and has outdoor seating.

Love this family owned coffee shop tucked into the corner next to Trader Joes! We see lots of regulars and locals here working and studying. Cold Brew Iced Tea, Tropical Blend ($3.50) -- so refreshing with great flavor, my personal favorite and go to drink here. Iced Americano ($3) -- good serving size, incredibly smooth, gives you a good caffeine kick to get your work done without making your leg shake from being overly caffeinated Great place to study and get work done, wifi is incredibly strong and works great every time we've been. Get the dine-in glasses to save the environment and maybe a little extra drink! Hoping to try some pastries and food next time!

Got the Bougatsa and it lasted me for quite a while. Definitely want to try the rest of the pastries because they're a little more unique as compared to other cafes. Owner is very sweet. Would visit again.
