    Wow this place is so fun! I love that they have a massive layout for the restaurant as well as a whole bakery! We just went to the bakery section this time but it was just filled with desserts to try! Service was so fast and they answered any questions we had! And the pricing was fabulous compared to normal prices where we are from! We had the tres leches cake and the casino chocolate cake! Can't wait to go back and try more!

    They made a custom cake for me last week and it was not only beautiful but delicious as well. I texted them a picture and they duplicated it perfectly on the cake. It was a sheet cake, chocolate and vanilla with white chocolate mousse between the layers. While picking up the cake I tried some of their other treats like fresh made Baklava with walnuts! My favorite. They had so many Greek and Italian pastries it was tough to choose. I bought some traditional almond cookies in powdered sugar. Excellent. Love this place.

    This is the first time I ever visited this bakery so I didn't know what to expect. The woman that helped me was so lovely. I came at 8pm looking for breakfast items for my church breakfast group the following morning. I ended up buying a special Easter bread that was topped with almonds and had an "egg" in the center. My church gals loved that! The walnut cake is super moist and delicious. My daughter picked the chocolate mousse cake decorated like a lion. So far I liked what I tried and I plan to go back and try other items.

    My review is for the bakery and cafe. I have been to Papagalino a couple of times. Once was for a takeout of some pastries and more recently for dine in. In both of my visits, I had a good experience. On my recent visit, my party and I came here for desserts (only). The cafe was busy and the parking lot was near full. We were seated promptly. The restaurant was happening and lively. A lot of patrons were enjoying their food and drinks and seemed to be having a good time. Our server was friendly and helpful. She provided good service. We ordered five pastries and five drinks. For the drinks, we ordered two Machiattos, two Baileys coffee, and one Greek coffee. For pastries, we ordered the following pastries (see their menu for details): 1) Menelik Layer of Chocolate and Yellow Cake, Filled With Vanilla Custard & Chocolate Mousse With Roasted Almonds 2) La Orange Layers of Yelllow Cake Filled With Orange Custard Cream 3) Galaktoboureko A traditional Greek dessert featuring a custard in a crispy phyllo pastry shell. 4) Ek Mek Kataifi Strudel phyllo with Custard and Walnuts. 5) Cheesecake I ordered the Menelik. I also tried the other pastries (except for cheesecake). All the drinks and pastries were good in taste. We all liked what we had. My favorites were the La Orange and Ek Mek Kataifi. I liked their flavors and texture a lot. They have a good variety of desserts and drinks on their menu. They are reasonably priced in today's times. Before leaving the cafe, we swung by their bakery shop, and some of us purchased other sweet treats to go. We were helped by the manager of the shop and she was helpful. I saw more variety of pastries that drew my attention, which I hope to try on my next visit. I would recommend checking out this establishment, especially if you like dessert and drinks. It is definitely worth a visit and more.

    As a fellow Greek, this is a Greek family run business and quite delicious. It's a large space, with a nice atmosphere for some really good food. The chicken slouvlaki platter was just enough. Chicken was well cooked and flavored. Save some room for Loukoumades, Greek deep fried honey balls, that are just like when I'm in Greece. Service isn't super fast, but it's meant to be a time to enjoy company and food. Prices are great compared to Greek restaurants in the city.
