bad service horrible food

by saveoften at Citysearch

there's not a lot to say about this place. the service is mediocre, doesn't really seem to care about the customers, as it takes them 30 min to see that you are actually at a table waiting for menus and the place had like only 5 tables. the food was cold and i dont buy it. the fried saganaki is not supposed to be cold is FRIED! anyways I've given it 2 chances, both disappointments

• Pros: ?
• Cons: all

Best coffee and dessert in town

by lindax at Citysearch

I get my mochachino everyday from Kolonaki and they are just the best. Also try the hot chocolate because this is the only place that uses real chocolate chunks and milk (not water).

I also recommend the lemonade which is made with real lemons. For dessert you must try the baklava, chocolate mousse cake, strawberry shortcake. The grilled chicken sandwich and the ceaser salad is amazing. Not only is the food and drink amazing at this place so is the atmosphere(especially in the spring and summer). The service is great.

• Pros: reasonable price, friendly, amazing coffee and desserts

Everything I have ever ordered from Kolonaki has been amazing. It is a great place to hang out in the evening with coffee and dessert or to take home. I highly suggest the tiramisu!

• Pros: Amazing Food, V. Comfortable Env.

A classic Astoria coffee shop.

The Scene
Chief among the neighborhood's bustling cafes is Kolonaki, with its inviting upstairs space, replete with rich, dark wood tables and windowsills. French windows entirely fill two of the walls ,and the ceilings are high, giving the place an airy feel--even at night, when it's well-lit with artsy wall lamps. The crowd tends to the diverse--from young and hip to old and doddering--perhaps in testimony to what a great place this is to while away the day.

The Food
Kolonaki serves up everything from a European tuna sandwich (made with tuna, lemon juice, capers, parsley, onions, carrots, olive oil and basil) to scrumptious specialty desserts. Beer and wine are also offered, alongside fine cognacs and cordials and other assorted drinks. The service is great, but watch out for that whipped cream! If you don't specify that you don't want a mountain of whipped cream on your cappuccino, expect to be buried in it.
