My husband and I decided to do a late night 🌙 kid free walk around 10pm and weren't dressed up enough to go to a fancy restaurant or club to grab a bite. We saw this cute diner and decided to take a chance. We had a lovely time. We sat right there in that corner table that makes you feel like you're literally sitting on the sidewalk and are part of the scene. It was just what we needed: lively enough, music playing in the background, nice smells and environment, delicious food as well as friendly, fun staff. We recommend it. 👌🏽

A large selection of cakes, but not the best quality. What disappointed me the most was that I ordered tres leches cake and received something completely different. The waitress didn’t warn me. I also don’t understand why the cake was given that name in the first place. A fruit cake has nothing to do with tres leches.

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.
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.
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. Keep up the amazing work some places don’t just serve food, they create history.

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!
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.
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.
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!

I love Omonia on Broadway (108th st), the chocolate mousse and coffee! All the pastries are delicious and the service is very friendly!

Went there on my birthday and had a slice of cheese cake. Unfortunately the base of it had egg shells and I had to spit it out, ruined my mood on my special day for only piece of cake I had.

People are nice, but may have a language barrier. Go here for the desserts, which are supreme and unbeaten atmosphere. It's tgermally and visually warm on a winter night.

This place has to just be getting by on nostalgia-based goodwill, because it certainly can’t be from the quality of the service, atmosphere, or food. For starters, it is filthy. There’s just a thick layer of dust and/or grime on every surface. When we asked for napkins after our food came, we were treated like *we* were the uncivilized or crazy ones for asking, instead of them being weird for not serving food the way humans usually eat it. They slapped an absurdly gigantic pile on the table and sneered, “HERE’S your napkins!” Uh, okay? Then there was the guy sitting alone at a table near us engaging in extremely antisocial behavior. When we finally asked a server if they could request he tone things down a bit, all of the floor staff had this panicked-looking whisper conference by the register and finally sent someone over to say something. The guy didn’t stop being completely obnoxious — he just added in giving me the evil eye. So, obviously, since we weren’t enjoying our stale pastries anyway, we paid our bill and got out of there. Turns out that guy is the boss! Even though they were snotty, I feel bad for the wait staff working for a person like that. They’re clearly scared of him. I guess if you’re not one of his 30+ year patrons, your money can’t be green enough for this guy. Luckily for everyone else in Astoria, there are approximately 40 bakeries on every block you can go to instead of this one.
