Pi Bakerie — Restaurant in New York

I took the 2 train from Flatbush to Pi Bakery with my Nephew Meeko. We were accompanied by his mom; who was on her A game Killing her inbox

The subway was clean and uncrowded; Meeko settled easily even though I noticed the lady next to me was a bit anxious about him. We practiced center and standing on 2 for a few stops.

I listened to MIT's deep learning course on YouTube via my Apple AirPods Max first generation.

We got off at Wall Street, and exited at 28 Liberty street and were greeted by bright warm light and works of art.

I felt fortunate to call Manhattan my home. Pi Bakery was just off the plaza the de facto third place of the neighborhood where my neighbors work, socialize, network, and unwind . This spot has been vital for fostering community as the neighborhood has evolved from offices to residential.

My order today was an Apple carrot, ginger, green juice. The weather has been moody lately and I prefer nature for an immunity boost & also got my second shot of espresso of the day they brew Devoción, my 2nd favorite coffee after Black Fox.

Also pictured me drinking Greek wine with lots of antioxidants, and the best Greek Yogurt in the city. Note to self get the Olive oil next time I run...

Today, I went out for lunch and ordered some moussaka and a side of mixed Mediterranean vegetables. Unfortunately, the dish arrived barely warm, and to my dismay, it tasted anything but fresh—it had clearly turned sour. I managed only two spoonfuls before giving up entirely.

Since I was with friends and didn’t want to create a scene, I waited until I was alone to return the dish and explain the issue. The girl behind the counter acknowledged the problem but made no effort to rectify it. With the owners absent, only two young staff members were working, and they appeared unequipped to handle such situations.

By the time a left the place to go home, I felt nauseous, I just got home , with stomach cramps and threw up acidic white foam. While I’m willing to pay a premium for quality food, I draw the line at dishes that are neither fresh nor properly served. Initially, I considered reporting the incident to the health department but decided instead to leave this review as a warning. Needless to say, I won’t be returning to this establishment. Unfortunately so because the coffee is fine and the...

We visited for dessert on a Sunday night. We were looking for a warm place that was still open (many others closed at 6), and chose Pi. It's a Greek bakery, which isn't obvious on Google maps, but it is on the store signage. Even if you don't like traditional Greek desserts (my family tends to not like baklava etc), this place is worth a visit. They had some sort of baklava custard that my husband, who doesn't like the flaky part of baklava, enjoyed; and I, who can only take the sweetness of baklava in small doses, also really liked. We had an orange cake thing that was perfectly orange, and some cookies. They also had a chocolate cake and something that looked like apple pie. It was a pleasant surprise to walk in to live music, too! I think the sign said 4-6 on Sundays. The people who work there are lovely. My young son was having a hard evening, and they didn't make anything of it - they even tried to help, and showed me a lot of kindness when he threw his second full blown tantrum in their bakery. Glad we tried something we typically...
