Takeout
A warmly run Greek patisserie near Haymarket delivering standout traditional sweets, friendly service, and strong value—best for sweet-toothed visitors and locals alike.
Slice of Greece delivers exceptional food quality anchored by benchmark baklava and millefeuille, paired with outstanding owner-led service that guides customers through choices with genuine warmth. Fair pricing for handmade Greek pastries and reliable execution across visits cement its standing as a respected neighborhood bakery, though the modest counter-service format and limited seating prevent the elevated experience needed for grade A territory.
The room feels warm and welcoming, the kind of small patisserie where the display case stops you in your tracks. Reviews gush about kindly owners who guide choices and remember faces, with one guest noting, "They walked me through nut-free options and packed everything so carefully." Proximity to the conference centre means it can get busy but still efficient, and most people leave smiling with a box of sweets under arm. The cooking leans classic Greek patisserie with expert execution rather than theatrics—think baklava with balanced syrup, custardy galaktoboureko, crisp trigona, and a millefeuille many call best-in-town. There are occasional creative touches like cheesecake baklava, but overall the approach is elevated traditional: authentic flavors, generous portions, and handmade care at budget-friendly prices. For families, this is an easy win: croissants, cookies, and chocolatey slices sit alongside fruit-forward sweets, and staff are patient with questions. Seating is limited and service is counter-style, but kids who like pastries will be happy. If yours avoid nuts or prefer less sweetness, ask for guidance; the team will steer you to lighter choices or nut-safe picks and suggest kid-pleasing classics.
