Crema's Take

“This Greek bakery and patisserie in Jefferson Park is run by pastry chef Yannis Tassopoulos, a Culinary Ambassador from Greece, and it shows in every carefully crafted pastry and traditional bake good that comes out of the kitchen. Whether you're settling in for a cappuccino and a slice of their celebrated Dubai cake or grabbing a crispy spinach and cheese pocket, the warm, welcoming atmosphere and generous owner make it easy to linger—and nearly impossible to leave empty-handed. It's the kind of neighborhood gem where every regular has a favorite, and new visitors quickly understand why people keep coming back.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Happened to walk in there thinking it had the pizza and was glad I did. Could not walk out empty handed, everything looked so good and it was. The Dubai cake was delicious, the Baklava cheese cake was unique and also good.

Nice large area with traditional bake goods. I tried the spinach and cheese pockets which were freshly made. Criapy and delicious and would come back for more.
