Omonia Cafe – Astoria

I love the desserts here such a wide range from cookies to pastries to cupcakes to cakes. You have a choice of jumbo, regular, or mini cupcakes. The prices are reasonable. I love that the mini cupcakes are 1.25 which makes it easy to get a dozen and I have to say the red velvet is their best dessert. They have red velvet cupcakes, cake slices, mini cakes, regular 7″ cake, and red velvet cheesecake! So yummy!
Also, it’s a great place to just come in to grab a quick cake for a dinner party never a wait and always lots of options as I just mentioned. I also love the fact that the servers are so nice and accommodating! Open late for anyone with late night cravings!

Went in last night on an impulse and bought a slice of the white and chocolate mousse cake to go. I was excited to try it for the first time only to find that it was covered in MOLD. I brought it back right away and saw that every slice on that tray was covered in mold also. The person behind the counter went next door to get her boss. He came in a few minutes after asking to see the cake. When he saw the mold he really had no reaction but said I could have what ever I wanted out of their selection. As a certified food handler I know they were supposed to remove everything from those cases after seeing mold… something they obviously weren’t going to do so I just asked for my money back. The manager/​owner told me as I was leaving that this happens every year and it was because of the humidity! When I asked him if he knew it would happen why he didn’t do anything to prevent it he didn’t really respond and I just walked away. After reading other reviews about being sold stale and rotten food I don’t think I’ll be going back there.
