I have been wanting to try this bakery for months since they opened. I am part Cypriot and grew up with this type of food so I knew I was in for a treat. Safe to say....they did not disappoint. From the halloumi puff to the spinach feta roll and those delicious desserts (I recommend the Nutella bomb - outrageous levels of deliciousness) everything was simply incredible. Constantino and Rosa were incredibly welcoming and truly made my day. We need more savory bakeries in NYC and this is somewhere I will return again and again. 10/10 Could not recommend enough! read more

I first heard about this small, hole-in-the-wall café on social media and was curious to try it because of its focus on halloumi. The menu featured halloumi ice cream, as well as several interesting pastries, savory pies, and other dishes that incorporate the cheese. I stopped by shortly before closing on a weekday, but unfortunately, the halloumi ice cream was no longer available. Since I had not eaten lunch, I ordered the halloumi salad instead. It came with nuts, croutons, edamame, onion, and shredded halloumi. I was expecting the soft, chewy texture I usually associate with halloumi, but the shredded cheese tasted more like a standard salad topping. The employee behind the counter mentioned that it would have a stronger, more pungent flavor, but I did not notice that either. Overall, the salad did not quite meet my expectations because it did not really feel like I was eating halloumi. That said, this is not a bad place if you are nearby and need a quick snack or meal. Just keep in mind that it is better suited for takeout than dining in. There is almost no room inside, and the outdoor chairs appear to belong to the neighboring establishment, so I ended up taking my food to go. read more

This new halloumi cafe spoke to me. I had previously seen a lot of marketing for this cafe. I decided to get the cheese with hot honey, Nutella bites, halloumi twists, halloumi balls and a rose latte. Surprisingly, the rose latte was really good, just a tad too sweet. The service was pretty fast, given that that was only one person behind the counter and one other person preparing the food. The ambiance was nice and quiet, yet I did find the space to be quite cramped. There's only 2 seats indoors and 2 standing tables outdoors. Overall, it was a decent experience with two caveats: the halloumi cheese sticks were too salty and the rose latte was too sweet. read more

A group of us went today because I've been wanting to try this place since they opened. I'm so glad we went. It lived up to all my expectations! The food was fantastic. We got a lot of different items, not everything pictured. I loved my halloumi with pita and I'm still thinking about it hours later. The balls were small but so yummy. The twist was my least favorite but still good. The fries were fantastic as well. My coworkers really liked their grilled cheeses and said they were even good cold when they ate the other half later in the day. They loved their grilled cheeses rose lattes. They made a believer out of one of my coworkers. They also loved their grilled cheeses guava bites. The picker eater in the group liked the gyro. No complaints at all! The owner is the sweetest guy. We will be back!! read more

Recent bakery opened in the Village about three months ago, focusing on halloumi savory and sweet items, imported from Cyprus. Their smaller items are weighed by the ounce... I immediately knew I wanted the halloumi ball and puff (2 items, $5.12 with tax)... OMG, these bite size (or 2-3 bites) were like a warm cheesy hug! I could've and would've gobbled a bunch more, they were so good with a crunchy pastry (flaky for the puff). After finishing the first 2 items, I also got their bagel bite with halloumi and cream cheese, what a fun way to highlight their products and a nice nod to NYC, plus a spinach. I thought I would bring one home to save it for later in the day, but I ate them all in the store!! They also have gluten free, non halloumi and some grilled items... it was a pleasure speaking with Constantino, the owner, who has plans to continue growing the menu with sandwiches, quesadillas, and I think he said vegetarian gyros. I look forward to returning so I can get the same items I ate today, plus try their sweet and other savories that I haven't tried yet. After one visit, I am confident saying I'm adding this to my faves list/highly recommend list. Go support this small business, what a great treat in a neighborhood packed with so many foodie possibilities. read more

I was in the West Village and when I was crossing the street, I saw Hello Halloumi, and recognized it from Instagram. I decided to get a small box and tried the fried halloumi fritters and the cream cheese and halloumi bagel bombs, and they were AMAZING. The fritters could use a little jam on top. Sweetness would pair nicely with the fried cheese. Their Instagram says they are "A savory bakery and specialty coffee shop in the West Village unlike any other. Give them a try! read more

I've been intrigued about Hello Halloumi on Greenwich between 6th and 7th Ave. I love halloumi cheese so my attention was piqued. I swung by recentlyto pick up 2 Too Good To Go orders, and it ended up being such a great experience! I managed to score two boxes--one packed with sweet treats and the other full of savory pastries. The guy working the counter was really nice and actually took the time to walk me through exactly what was in each box, which I really appreciated. Everything was delicious, and I'll definitely be grabbing these again. read more

A cute spot that sells delicious savory and sweet pastries that can be filled with halloumi. The space itself is small but you can see all the options they sell through the glass case. You pay by weight as the savory and sweet have differences prices per ounce. They also have cute reusable bags. By far the friendliest service with Em guiding me through her favorites and giving my recommendations! Loved how I brought up mushroom and immediately she asked the kitchen if their mushroom halloumi were ready. Really appreciate the tentiveness and how nice everyone was. My favorites were the fig poptart and mushroom halloumi! 100000% going to come back and try more pastries and also give their drinks a try too! read more

It's a unique concept narrowly nestled in West Village. The pastries are smaller than average but, that is because you pay by weight. Some people may not like that idea, but I think its a wonderful way to get so sample a variety of goods, without having to down 3 normal pastries. They also serve coffee and some sweets, but this shop is mostly known for its savory baked goods. For $6 I walked away with a halloumi focaccia, a 3 cheese pastry, and halloumi and mushroom pastry. My favorite: the halloumi and mushroom. It was so deeply savory and packed with mushrooms. The 3 cheese pastry was, as expected, cheesy. The focaccia was a letdown, too flavorless imo. But then again, the server never listed it in her recommendations and I can see why. Overall, its well worth a visit if you're not into sweet pastries and would like to try a variety of things without being overwhelmed! read more

Really cute newish bakery/coffee shop in the village that has traditional Cypress foods. I was getting brunch with a friend nearby and she heard they were having a promotional thing. We came by and they were already offering up some of their halloumi to try. Oh boy is that melt in your mouth delicious ooey gooey cheese. It was hot and freshly made. I ended up buying an iced latte and a nutella chocolate puff pastry for myself and one for my boyfriend. A little bit pricey because I guess they price their baked and fresh goods by the ounce. The 2 little puffs were about $5ish bucks. The coffee was super strong and good flavor. The dessert puff was delicious and like a mini croissant. My friend's truffle made with halloumi and I think it was rose and chocolate flavored looked decadent. They also sell more savory items wrapped in filo pastry with halloumi and other items, gryos, sandwiches, protein bowls, and salads. Another item that caught my eye is that they have their own version of the dot cake but called the rose cake. They explained the cake is mixed in with a floral flavor and probably is a hella lot better than other versions and no lines to wait for it. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Love the protein pasta bowl! There is a buy 1 get 1 free deal. It's flavorful and quite filling; I could only eat half of the bowl in one sitting . The cafe is quite small, didn't see any seats. It's more of a grab and go place. I would check out this place again next time but would love to try one of their drinks, maybe the rose latte. read more
