Ever since the first time I sat down at this small cafe in Greektown I've returned whenever I can to get my fix of some Greek pies and pasteries. My recent trip was about a week ago and I wanted to hang out here before going off to the movies. To pair off with my coffee, I had a Spanakopita, a Finikia and a Kataifi which something very new to me. If you are eating at the cafe, the two desserts come heavily doused in honey or some sort of sweet dessert which really increases the sweetness of them. But they both tasted so good and the inside of finikia also was soaked with maybe the same syrup which made is delectably chewy. The kataifi also tasted interesting especially when I bit down into the noodle center.
Akropolis has become my preferred spot to head to whenever I'm in Greektown, so much so that the second time I headed here was to get some spanakopita and a box of Melamakarona for a friend's pot-luck birth party. Both of them were a hit.
And for the first, I was here, I had the spanakopita and took home a melamakarona which I fell in love with instantly and that's how I decided to get some for the birthday feast.
The next time I'm finally going to try out the loukoumades and a baklava ;-)
