A warmly run Greek cafe-bakery in Oost for excellent pies, freddo coffee, and friendly service, with occasional consistency hiccups and very sweet orange pie.
Greek Me Up delivers solid food quality anchored by authentic spanakopita, bougatsa, and exceptional freddo coffee, paired with genuinely warm and attentive service. However, inconsistent execution—underbaked pastries and variable coffee strength across visits—prevents higher performance, and the bright but modest setting lacks destination appeal. A reliable neighborhood favorite for Greek pastries and coffee, but execution gaps keep it from competing with the area's most polished cafes.
A bright corner in Oost where the smell of warm pastry meets market-day buzz, this cafe-bakery feels warm and welcoming. Staff happily walk you through the pastry case, and one guest raved that the spinach pie "took me straight to Thessaloniki." Seating is ample inside and out, with a small kid-friendly corner that makes lingering easy. The cooking leans classic Greek—think spanakopita, bougatsa, baklava, and the occasional moussaka—more tradition than trend. Freddo coffee is a signature; many call it the best around. Do note a few quibbles: reheated specials can feel less vibrant, and the beloved orange pie runs very sweet for some. Families do well here thanks to that kids area and a lineup of simple, familiar bakes. For picky eaters, savory pies like spinach or cheese and straightforward sweets like bougatsa make easy wins; there is no dedicated kids menu, but portions are sharable and prices stay gentle.
