I went here a few weeks ago to pick up some treats on the way to a friends house and it was a great experience. The owner Nico (not sure how it's spelled) talked me through a lot of the options, he was so sweet and the older greek gentlemen there behind the counter we so nice. I got a container of the almond cookies- these were a little more pricey than the other cookies and sooooo worth it (also dairy free!). I also picked up a tray of their frozen cheese pies as a gift for my friend and I have to say I will 100% be returning to buy more. 5$ for a little tray of 8 mini pies ready to go in the oven. they have them with just cheese, and with cheese and spinach. Such a great thing to have in the freezer ready to go. they also sell bigger quantities and you better believe I'll be buying them for my next party. I can't wait to go back- I got cookies, cheese pies, spinach pies, and tried a few other items Nico gave me samples of- EVERYTHING was delicious. GO HERE !!!! great...

Chris, the owner, is one the most and kind human beings you will ever meet. I have been in the food industry all my life, and this is where I buy my cookies and sweets. The Spinach and Cheese Pies are to die for, so is the Baklava, Galaktobouriko, and Kourambiedes. Highly...
Read moreno-frills shop on Cicero, but totally worth a visit! The spanakopita is delicious, and a generous serving for only $5. The owner included a free cookie (melomakarona?) with my food when I told him it was my first time visiting his shop. Lots of desserts, including baklava, kourabiedes, thumb print cookies, and bougatsa. Cash only. I definitely intend to go back when I'm craving...
