For people writing nonsense, this is the best coffee place in Astoria, and the people who work there are very nice. Yani is absolutely amazing--he has always been kind, and my wife always gets coffee from him. They make the best frappes and desserts, and the food is great. Hena said hello read more

Cuisine: 6 Service: 4 Decor: 1 Value: 6 Overall: 4 I have always found this place to be average in every way. However, my most recent experience made me want to update my previous review. First of all, we were seated by the staircase leading to the bathroom in the basement. Every time someone went down the stairs, there was a terrible smell that came up through the dining room. When I finally use the dirty bathroom, I realized that the urinals don't have a flusher at all, hence the horrible stench. This is not acceptable. We wanted to move at first. However, there were many tables still not cleaned nearby, with lots of crumbs on the floor, which forced us to stay put. As for service, the female server we had said that she couldn't give any recommendations because she's only tried one piece of cake during her six months working there. At the same time, she seemed distant and occupied. I asked for help from a different waiter in the end because she wasn't paying attention. On the other hand, I finally found a combination of items I like at this cafe. That would be their Pistachio Paris Brest with a cup of cappuccino. Toffee cake was a bit sweet, though not bad. Regardless, nothing is good enough for me to come back regularly. read more

Omonia??? more like Ammonia! Threw a birthday party at this place. with 25 attendees. Pros - atrium design with lots of sunlight - depending on choice of food it's hit or miss but in my case 3 of the 5 dishes selected were not bad - we had a very attentive, accommodating and friendly waitress Cons - place is not clean, bathroom was gross with foul odor cushioned seats in the back were filled with stains, can't imagine this place gets cleaned often - desert glass showcase was dirty even saw empty fruit containers on trays - dishonest ownership, agrees on one thing but reneges then claims we the customer misunderstood Long story short there are so many better places in Astoria than here. read more

This is my first time trying portokalopita (Greek orange cake) and it was delicious! This cake was apparently recommended by NYT recently. It has a great honey eggy texture and orange zest. Thanks NYT! read more

This place has a large swatting area inside and a smaller area by the sidewalk. The main seating area has windows that open up to the street, which is great for nice weather. They have a vast selection of desserts, all of which look delicious. They also offer specialty coffees! We came here for coffee and dessert, and we left very happy! The young ladies also provided us with excellent service, and I had the chance to say hi and thank the owner for the delicious coffee and dessert! read more

Tried the chocolate mousse cake and it wasn't great. It had a thick layer of hard chocolate on top that made it impossible to cut. Also the pancake is incredibly dense. read more

Omonia Cafe is my favorite Greek Restaurant ever!! It's also a restaurant that holds many memories. The location is on the corner of Broadway & 33rd Street in Astoria, Queens. Street parking is usually available if you don't live in walking distance. Close subway stops are also convenient. Omonia has an extensive menu. My choice is always the same. Their Homemade Spinach Pie served with Greek Salad is my ultimate comfort food. When my son lived in Astoria he would always meet me there immediately after my drive up from Coastal Virginia. Since I always procrastinated my departure till afternoon, their hours of operation, closing at 1:30am, were perfect for a leisurely dinner of Spinach Pie, Greek Salad & a Vodka Martini. Many times it was made even more delicious by ending dinner with their Baklava. When I was in Brooklyn in December my son took me on a nostalgia tour of some of old my favorite haunts. I was delighted to see that not only had Omonia survived the Pandemic, it was also exactly the same. We stopped for an early dinner. Yum...... Omonia has an extensive bakery counter selection. There is also a separate entrance for bakery goods. I've never tried any of their desserts or bakery items except the Baklava. My tastebuds have evolved into not liking anything super sweet. Service was excellent. The restaurant feel & decor is old school, like it has as long as I've been a patron. But it was filled with people of all ages, speaking well to its future. The many pages of food & drink options are varied enough to offer appeal to many, as does its late hour closing for the bar crowd. I'll always love you Omonia. You offer the perfect comfort food. read more

My friend and I went here yesterday evening after dinner, we were in the mood for sweets and coffee. What caught our eye as we walked around was Omonia Cafe and their amazing cake & pastry selection. Upon arriving we were amazed at the variety. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. My friend was also in the mood to drink alcohol so we were amazed that they had alcohol as well and had a beautiful outdoor seating area. The ambiance was beautiful! It reminded me of a Rose Garden. I had the Cafe Frangelico, which was amazing. My friend had 2 Lychee Martinis. Then we shared the Melenik cake which was delicious! We will definitely be coming back again soon! read more

I looooooved the ambiance in this place. I've always wanted to come here and I finally got to! They are open late so it was perfect for a little treat after dinner with my husband. It was very spacious inside and it felt like I was at my friends house an just chilling with snacks in front of me. It felt very homey. The sweets were great for most of them!!!! Some were a little too sweet for me but I had a great time there. I would love to try their food next time! read more

I guess we had high expectation on the desserts here but got a bit disappointed. The cream in the cakes is too heavy. Not very impressed. However, Pork Souvlaki Platter is surprisingly good. The meat is tender and juicy. Good portion for the price. The vibe is casual. Good place for afternoon tea and dinner. The service is slow though. Hard to grab the waiter for check. read more

the food was so delicious & Celine is the kindest and sweetest server ever. She took really good care or us!

Great selection of desserts! Love the atmosphere and service is always great Definitely recommend!

Came here for a quick cappuccino with a friend so we didn't try much options but our drinks didn't disappoint. Seems like a decent place to go out for a bite or meal. Our server did take awhile to get to us but overall, it was a pleasant experience. I love that they have bloody Mary's btw so I'll be back! read more

Omonia Cafe in Astoria is definitely a vibe! I've been on an espresso martini kick lately (shoutout to Sabrina Carpenter for that), and theirs did not disappoint--it was hands down the highlight of my night. Perfectly balanced, smooth, and just what I needed. I also tried the Ultimate Burger, and wow--it was juicy, flavorful, and cooked exactly how I wanted. Honestly, one of the better burgers I've had in a while. The only downside? It took a bit too long to get our check at the end, which was a little annoying, but not enough to ruin the night. Overall, great food, great drinks, and a solid spot. Would definitely come back! read more

Only visit this place when I am looking for something different. Definitely not a go-to place. Each time I go it is 3/4 empty and just random tables of Greek men sitting and BS-ing. The service is always mediocre at best. The waitress is very nice but not attentive. She is also often waiting tables by herself so not fastest service (not her fault). I got the Romeo & Juliet crepe which is slightly dense and thick (not typical crepe). I also ordered without the Nutella so the crepe itself was very dry. When I do this at other locations the crepe is usually still tasty. It is definitely packed with a lot of fruit. Cappuccinos are always good. I have never been really impressed with their pastries or desserts. As stated, not terrible enough to say I'll never be back, but only an option when I'm looking for a change. read more

I came to celebrate a friend's birthday. The manager was very professional and helpful, which we really appreciated.

Omonia Cafe is a long time Queens staple. I love seeing restaurant that are here decade after decade because thats a rarity in this city! The classic diner menu with EVERYTHING! I personally enjoy all the desert and sweets options, their bakery and pastry choices are extensive. You can also purchase a box of sweets to go in the attached bakery. My crepe was absolutely delicious and coffee was perfect. The interior is large so its great for groups and family dinners but also offers an intimate setting if your just looking to just catch up with a friend or two. The rotating neon light colors set the ambiance for the retro vibes, it's cute. The service is always on point and accommodating. I hope to keep coming back for years to come, definitely recommend this one. read more

I've been coming to Omonia a long, long time. It was the after party spot after dancing the night away in Astoria or in the city during high school and college. They've been around since 1977 and they're still fantastic. My early morning tennis plans got rained out so my tennis friend and I went out for coffee and tea. My Nescafé was dark, creamy and unsweetened, delicious as ever. My tennis friend's herbal tea was just as it should be, and served in a large, oval mug. Their prices are average and the service was excellent. You pass the case of a festival of delicious sweets. I eyed them as I passed by, telling myself "another time." Omonia has always had the best and freshest Greek pastries in Astoria. read more

I understand why this place has such bad reviews. Ordered touloumba and it was stale! So stale that it would potentially bounce off a table if thrown! Why would you sell that? Also, it took 20 minutes to get coffee to go. Disaster. read more

Took a nice dessert here! A large selection and they help you through it. The German chocolate cake, while a fresh taste on cake, is a bit thick and nowhere near a standard chocolate cake slice. But the diner menu section-- will have to explore another time! read more

Some friends and I dined in here for dessert. The space is sprawling, clean, and elegant. Upon entering, there are many display cases of amazing looking sweets. I already knew I wanted the baklava, then noticed that this place has Baklava Cheesecake, which I just had to try. I also wanted coffee to go with it, so asked for Greek Coffee, not knowing that it is served in a tiny cup. I expected it to be a regular sized cup, so I sent it back. The Baklava Cheesecake was absolutely delicious! The top and bottom was made out of baklava and there was rich, velvety smooth, delightfully creamy cheesecake filling in between. The baklava portion was sweet, flaky, soaked in honey, as well as slightly crunchy. The combination of baklava and cheesecake was simply divine. Our waiter was pretty good and brought everything out in a timely manner. I would definitely return to try other treats. The place also has an extensive lunch / dinner menu, so would consider some of those options. read more

Was looking for late nite food and found this place by chance. Cool laid-back feel, clean spacious interior with plenty outdoor seating available. Excellent menu choices with extensive tea selection! Tried the pork souvlaki with sweet potato fries and Berry Nutella crepe. Everything tasted right and cooked to perfection. The wait staff are awesome, Thomas made sure everything was taken care of even before we asked. Outstanding!! Very happy we found Omonia Cafe and will be back for sure! read more

Great service and coffee! This is a lovely neighborhood cafe right in the heart of Astoria

I've tried their sweet potato fries, mozzarella sticks, and pumpkin mousse cake. Sweet potatoes were good. Mozz sticks were just like you'd think it would be, and cake had good pumpkin flavor. Service is very questionable. There was only 3 tables seated including mine and the staff didn't seem to be accommodating. Forgets orders and not attentive. They've also charged me more than what was ordered, which I should've said something then but got caught off guard as the owner was being friendly. Ambiance is that the space is spacious and clean and felt cozy in a way since the lights were dimmed. read more

Where has this cafe been all my life?! I was looking for something sweet, after a day of holiday shopping with a friend. We popped into the bakery side of the cafe to get our sweet treat. After chatting with the staff behind the counter, and asking what I try in the realm of chocolate, they recommended both the fudge cake and the chocolate pie. I took one of each! I was to have the fudge cake right away while, I was going to save the chocolate pie for home. My friend ordered a slice of Tres Lechés. We made the decision on the fly to actually stay at the cafe and enjoy our little slices of heaven right there. The staff brought our desserts to a table that was in a room adjacent to the bakery. I was actually surprised at the amount of seating was there. This little corner cafe was actually a full-sized restaurant! Almost like a diner. Of course, we were also asked for proof of vaccination prior to our sitting. As we waited for our cake, I made my way downstairs to the bathroom. Although it was a bit of a walk, I appreciated that the bathrooms were away from the dining area and that they were nice and clean! I came back to a piece of fudge cake waiting for me. I was so happy with my decision. Dense, but moist, chocolate cake is my fav and this is exactly what this was. I ended up having the chocolate pie the next day. Although still delish, I wish I had it a bit more fresh. All in all a great experience, and a great spot for dessert for sure! read more

Love this place! I'm here at least once a week - it's puppy friendly, the food is great & the DESSERTS are always on point! I've tried most items on the regular food menu (the Caesar salad, zucchini sticks, haloumi & chicken wraps / paninis are always my go to). The coffee is strong & always good! All the waitresses / waiters are super nice, the place is huge so there's never a wait & you can sit there for an hour or two without anyone rushing you out the door! If you want a great dessert, ask what's the most freshest so you won't run into an experience where you get something stale or foggy. I always go for the crepes! You can never go wrong with some Nutella & whipped cream & the crepes are huge! Def shareable! Def recommend. read more

We came here after some time at the Astoria festival and wanted a rest at Omonia Cafe for some late night bites. Not crowded at all on a Friday night. I got the Macchiato while my friends got the Blood Orange sorbet, strawberry iced tea, and veggie wrap (not pictured). At first, the waiter had served the blood orange alcoholic drink (slight misunderstanding), but the process was pretty smooth. The outdoor vibe was great; they had heating as well as a floral decoration, which was a great touch. I didn't know the restaurant was also connected to a bakery and a dessert shop for take-outs. All-in-all, great place for a nice treat! read more

A highlight of living in Astoria umpteen years ago were the Greek pastry shops. Granted, the air was inevitably thick with smoke -- cigarette smoke, that is -- but we'd enjoy our Greek coffee (sediment on the bottom served in demitasse cups) and splurge on delicious baklava and other phyllo-based pastries. A holdover from those days is my love for the custard-filled Galaktoboureko. When my daughter's boyfriend suggested dessert at Omonia, I said "twist my arm" and off we went. Like many restaurants in NY, the café has expanded outside during the pandemic with ample seating inside and out. We shared two decadent desserts -- baklava cheesecake (far superior to what we get at our Greek diner in Marietta) and the delicious Galak.... (I'm not going to spell it out again!) Different options for coffee, including some laced with liqueur. Delish! The café has a retail bakery next door which I could easily eat my way through. And look at that: no smoking! read more

One of my fave spots in Astoria. Great selection of pastries . Love their coffee. It's a great spot to hang out with friends and enjoy food, drinks, coffee . Service is on point and friendly.

This place is so close to me, so I've been here many times over the year based on the notoriety of being the bakery for My Big Fat Greek Wedding and convenience of the space. However, the pastries are much too sweet in general, so you have to be very particular. From my experience: Get this: napoleon cheesecake, chocolate covered baklava, galaktoboureko ($6.50 - served warm/hot in the cafe; custard is good, but pastry is soggy not flaky). Don't get this: kok, most Greek pastries (that said, I haven't tried the bougatsa), most cheesecakes read more

My experiences at Omonia have always been great. The staff is very authentic, nice and friendly, they provide exceptional customer service. I've gotten their cakes many times and you can pre order their cakes as well, they will help you choose which one fits for your preferences and wants. I would highly recommend the baklava cheesecake and the tiramisu cheesecake, both amazing! I have nothing bad to say about them and will keep going in the future. You can rely on them! read more

I love this little bakery/cafe/lounge! The desserts looked fresh and tasted great ! The mini pecan pie and mini apple pies were so yummy! They warm it up for you and if you want ice cream (ala mode) they have that too! So happy we found it after dinner next to the restaurant we initially went to . So many pastries to choose from! Will be back again and soon!! The guy who took our order reminded me of an angry grandpa lol but he was nice in the end! He prob owns the place :) read more

I really like their outdoor seating arrangement a lot (nice space, socially distant, space heaters, three sides covered but not the sidewalk wall, which would defeat the purpose) and their coffees are great. Kok was pretty good too^^ I like the sponge cake which reminded me of the bottom layer of a tiramisu, and the custard was good. I'm not a fan of maraschino cherries so I could do without but it did add to the presentation. Breakfast plate (which I arranged as a face for the photo, lol it didn't come like that) and hot chocolate left a little to be desired for the prices compared to other neighborhood joints. Eggs yolks were perfect though! Nice place to sit and have a chat with a friend. read more
