Beside the infamous Johnny's Burgers, the Esquire Plaza in Scarborough houses some great late night eats and savory treats. Athens Pastries is a cute little cafe that's been here for years serving some Mediterranean inspired desserts.
They've got a second location in the Toronto Beaches neighborhood but this one is the original.
The venue is clean, presentable and at times can get quite busy as their known to their Greek inspired desserts. The staff are sweet and quite helpful.
Coming here with JC we decided to TRY and keep it light and healthy...hah! Being on the safe side we decided to order a dozen of their Loukormades, Greek version of Tim-bits that are dipped in syrup. Beware, it can get pretty sweet and messy but nonetheless delicious so don't bother to count your calories intake or else you'll be amazed. (4.5/5)
In addition to these little Greek Tim-bits I couldn't resist their galaktoboureko, a Greek semolina dessert, flaky on the top but soft inside. (3.5/5) the dessert was great, but not too fond of it.
To wash things down I opted for a cup of espresso...pretty good place.. ill be back.
Overall, great place serving some good desserts on a SOLID 4/5!
