Ellinikon is a cute Greek market and coffee shop. My cousin and I stopped in for coffee. It was pretty busy on a Monday afternoon but we were able to find a two top inside. They have a nice sized patio out front, however most people were sitting inside. I ordered an Iced Caprice Cookie Butter Latte with Oat Milk. After I paid, the cashier handed me a mini bottle of water and informed me that all coffee purchases come with a free bottle of water. How nice! The latte was really good, but very sweet! It tasted better once it was stirred and I enjoyed the cinnamon stick that topped it. The market had an assortment of items like pastries, sandwiches, herbs, spices, olive oil, vinegar, and snacks. The pastries looked wonderful and I probably would have purchased one if we hadn't already eaten lunch. I love Greek food and would be here all the time if I lived in the area.

Good Casual Ambience - bright modern casual decor Good tasty food. Good service. Parking can be a challenge in this neighborhood.

Still a great experience. Love my Greek mountain tea--perfect with lemon and mint. Spanakopita slices seemed as though they got bigger... a big plus! And tried a newbie... orange cake. It was calling my name, just looking perfect in the case... had to take a slice home. It was very tasty. My husband almost came back the next day for another slice. Thank you, Sriya, for going above and beyond in making the customer happy!

Ellinikon is a hot spot in town. They moved from a smaller location to this bigger space and really amped it up. Beautiful patio with outdoor seating. Dog friendly patio with water bowls. Interior is all decked out with Christmas decorations. They offer a full drink menu in the European style. There is a pastry case and quick food menu. I had the turkey croissant and it was perfect. The pistachio latte is on their seasonal menu and it's so cute.

Vegan vegetable omelette

I love this place. The service is friendly and you always know your drink will be made with care. Food is always fresh and consistent. The ambience matches the food, fresh, natural, and fun.

Yall I never write reviews, however I just knew I had to about this place. I'm truly blown away with not only the presentation of their food, also the way it tastes!! I had a multitude of different pastries (sweet and savory), each one exceeded my expectations 10 fold. If you're in Highland Park, NJ, YOU HAVE TO COME HERE!!!! Support a family business, straight from Greece!!

This place is a hidden gem nestled in Highland Park which offers delicious and authentic Greek pastries and desserts which can be paired with a coffee. And, there's a market located inside of the shop to purchase products directly from Greece! I was greeted the moment I walked in and the service was superb - I felt so welcomed (as if I stepped foot into someone's home). If this was intentional, I loved it and hope they keep their inviting nature going. There aren't many cafes like this around, and I hope that this one is here to stay.

Pistachio Baklava

I would come back here again and again just for their Pistachio Baklava. I don't know where they get their honey that was drizzled and incorporated into the baklava but Oooooh myyyyy goodness, I couldn't stop raving about it with every bite. It's flaky, filled with tons of pistachios, not overly sweet, AND THAT HONEY!!!! It was all about that honey for me. There are many other wonderful yummy pastries (sweet & savory) on display as well. I have my eye on a few for next time. All the drinks we ordered were crafted perfectly. My son loved his pistachio mocha latte, said he could taste the pistachio. I loved my hot Coconut Matcha. I'll probably go down their entire drink menu one by one in my future visits. We were also enjoying the Fleetwood Mac tracks that were playing inside the shop. Lots of seating inside and out. It's a popular coffee spot. Many Greek imported products for sale as well inside this shop. Service was friendly! Seriously though...that honey!!! Lol.

Wow wish we had tried this market sooner! What a cute spot to grab some Greek treats, breakfast or lunch. Lots of drink choices, omelets or delicious lunch options. We tried the meat gyro, falafel gyro and a bunch of desserts. The pitas were warm with the perfect chew. Falafel had good spices that were balanced with the hummus.

Pistachio LATTE
Lane S.

This place is great. Super cool coffee shop/diner ambience inside, and they have actually good vegan pastries. As someone who can't eat dairy and desperately misses flaky pastries, the vegan leek pastry really hit the spot. I tried a pistachio latte as well and it was so pretty and tasty. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd be back in a heartbeat.

Love this coffee shop! They have parking which is a huge perk especially being so close to New Brunswick! Their coffee is super strong and there's tons of space inside if you want to work from the restaurant. I had an iced latte and didn't order any food but will be returning to try some. The staff is also super friendly and will recommend things if you're debating on what to get. I would say my experience here was better than your usual big corporation Starbucks stores so check them out!

Great cafe/market located minutes from Rutgers NB/Piscataway. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and had such a wonderful experience. This place is bigger than I expected with a cozy dinning area, and a beautiful greek marketplace with a few more seating options. The cafe had a bunch of options to choose from to eat from greek salads and sandwiches to pastries... I wound up ordering the Lemon and Hibiscus Iced Tea with a croissant. The croissant was so good! One of the best I've ever had. It was so buttery and chewy just the way I like it, but it wasn't too flaky leaving crumbs everywhere. The Hibiscus tea came unsweetened but was very refreshing. There was also a counter with sugar where I assume you could sweeten the tea but it was really good on its own. After hours of getting work done I decided to take home more pastries, ordering the Baclava and Feta Pie with honey which were so delicious. The service here is wonderful ! Peter was very helpful giving me tips on how best to eat the Feta Pie. He also informed me this was a family owned business, which I loved. This made my experience even better. If you're working from or just want to visit a beautiful cafe. You should definitely give this place a try.

New to the area and still trying to find a go-to coffee shop, we decided to try Koko Loko. Will I…read morebe returning? Probably not. The staff member / barista seemed as if they hated their job. It was around 10am on a Sunday and understandably there were a few people already in the shop, but the staff member felt a bit cold and overall, quite miserable. The coffee was pretty gross as well, which could be a byproduct of the barista hating that they were working that day. I am a sucker for a fun drink and wanted to try the cookie and cream latte, not knowing it was just a cup of milk with the smallest splash of coffee and mixed with crushed up cookies. I felt as if I was drinking a child's recipe, with each attempted sip clogging my straw due to the cookie pieces. If you don't like coffee this is great, because it tasted exactly like what was advertised - milk and cookies. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but my partner ordered something completely different and it didn't taste great either. The taste of burnt coffee was prominent, making it hard to consume as well. The one positive is the environment seems like a great place to work remotely / study, as that is what many patrons were doing. The open-ness and bright atmosphere is great, but the beverages and customer service not so much.

It took me five years to check out this coffee shop. The lack of Yelp photos and reviews deterred…read moreme from wanting to visit. I don't know if it's the location, but y'all need to check out this coffee spot. It deserves more positive reviews. Trust me, the drinks are amazing. Banana lattes always catch my eye. Most times I am disappointed but I still go for it when I see it on a menu. And I am so glad I did because this one was the best one I ever had. Every sip, I can taste the banana flavor along with the espresso. My girlfriend enjoyed her pistachio latte. And the best part, the prices are lower than other coffee in the area. The cashier/barista was very helpful. The interior space has an eclectic mix of chairs and tables great for studying or doing some work. I plan to come back and try their matcha latte.

She engaged in conversation with me, as I am not from Jersey and helped me with the menu clarity. There is no parking lot here, but alot of street parking. Inside is very clean with a gender neutral bathroom and some cute decor. The prices are decent. Dessert pieces are a little pricey, but very big. They do have soo many sweet treats. They also have specialty turkish sweets and others such as cheesecake, dubai chocolate, parfaits & other things that I do not even know the name of. I wish i could try them all without getting cavities haha. When I come back to Jersey I will definitely be coming back to this cafe as it is a hot commodity to me!

I wish I had tried this muchhhh sooner-- 1st time; Tried the Iced Caramel Voltage. It was sooo good, perfectly sweet and the quality of the coffee was well roasted. 2nd time; Tried the Iced Crème Brûlée Latte. Also very delicious, they mix vanilla powder into the milk and it's so flavorful! My friend tried the hot Biscoff Latte and also absolutely loved it-- Sooo many options on the menu and sweet treats to choose from (it can get overwhelming!) My only note is that they only had one person running the shop both times I visited and there was quite some traffic for one person to handle. The other time visiting, they were mostly out of select coffees, decaf, etc by Noon and limited w milk stock.

The eggs left a lot to be desired. The bad: I also got a hot chocolate that unfortunately was Swiss Miss which I noticed after I ordered. Staff was very pleasant and helpful.

They have a very convenient location by the train station, easy grab and go as well if you do not wish to stay long. However, The staff is very hospitable so I'm sure you would want to stay.
