Hellas Pastry Shop — Restaurant in Jefferson Township

Hellas Pastry Shop is a small family owned bakery that doesn't look like much on the outside. The lights, decor, and signs are all outdated. However, this place has absolutely AMAZING COOKIES. The owners - a very friendly Greek family - have been making and selling cookies since 1950s (they've been in this locations since 1970s).

Had a nice conversation with the chill owners and left with my treasures snuggled in a pretty box. The treats were devoured by all at the gathering. Everybody loved it and I mean loved it.

My family has ordered pastries and made random stops to bring sweets home since I was a little girl.
