“ Such a nice place! I went there on my birthday and the owner gave me a free chocolate and strawberry little cake. Their cheese boat is marvelous. All associates were very nice and thoughtful. I'll definitely recommend Phyllo Cafe. ”
“ Great stop for a coffee and snack specially one of those Greek patties not sure what’s the name at the moment but the beef one is my favourite always fresh they go fast. The guy there is super friendly even in the early mornings. ”
“ Gus and his wife run this lovely little Greek corner cafe. You feel genuinely welcomed with the warm greetings of the adorable lady behind the counter, who's ready to guide you through their menu options, should you require it. Phyllo Cafe's famous cheese boat takes a while to be prepared fresh, but the wait is totally worth it! Come with an empty stomach and you'll leave satisfied, especially if you are a cheese lover. The drinks (both hot and cold) are unique and are made with care as well. All in all, this cafe is a gem worth discovering! ”
“ The owner Gus is really friendly and pleased with the recent burst of people coming to try the now infamous Greek Cheese boats. Prepare to wait 20 min for it to bake. Relax with an esoresso/cappacino or try a fresh pastry while you wait. Their Greek crepes look good and have fun names. ”
“ Great vibe at a cozy cafe in Greektown. I was craving some loukamades and although they didn’t have any we got some baklava and a custard pastry that were both excellent. The espresso was also really good and hit the spot. Will definitely return. ”
“ LOVE this place. It's my corner Cafe and I they have amazing phyllo pies..the ham and cheese is my fave. Also the sweet custard one is delicious if you are having sweet cravings. Love the owners it's a Greek family who knows almost everyone in the neighborhood. Sucks that the subway being built will be moving them away.... appreciating it while we still have it! ”
“ Amazing coffee. Highly recommend their americano with honey. Met the owner as well and he was super nice and provided great service ”
“ Just came from Montreal and this Greek cafe is everything i’ve been looking for. The spanakopita was incredibly authentic it truly tasted like something you’d find in Greece. I also tried their frappe, and it was really well made. The staff were warm and welcoming. If you’re looking for a genuine taste of Greece, this is the place to go. Highly recommend! ”
