Artion Bakery

At Artion, a bright shiny bakery in Astoria, you’ll find textbook perfect renditions of all the Greek bakery classics, like galaktoboureko, touloumbes, and every kind of baklava—but there’s also Biscoff cheesecake and little mousse cakes shaped like porcupines. These pastries taste even better than they look, which is saying something. If you want to go all-in, get some savory things, like their ultra-flaky spinach pie, too. There are a few small tables inside the cafe, and they also serve Greek coffee drinks. It’s a great place for a catch-up with a friend, or to stock up on things to bring to someone’s house.
