About To Laiko

To Laiko is a traditional Greek spot in Astoria popular among locals. The bakery offers a variety of Greek and Mediterranean specialty pastries, including Kavala cookies that are crispy and delicious. The tyropita is considered one of the best, made with kaseri cheese, and is highly recommended. The bougatsa remains a must-try with its puff pastry and custard filling. Regulars enjoy Greek coffee, especially the freddo espresso, which is described as just like in Greece and truly amazing. There is a small seating area on the sidewalk, making it convenient for takeout. The friendly father and son owners serve authentic Greek treats and drinks, creating a genuine experience despite the modest size of the place.
