Athens Bakery 161 Cedar Lane Teaneck, NJ 07666 Hamantaschen (triangle cookie) Baklava Cheese Danish Brownie Chocolate Eclair Spanakopita (spinach pie) Before I get to the fantasic, let me briefly warn you about one item on the menu. Order the triangle cookie at your own risk. I couldn't acquire a taste for it, let alone finish it. Do not let this one pastry discourage you because you won't have issues with the other desserts. Each sweet dish is perfect in texture and packed with the perfect amount of filling! When you see the inside of the baklava and danish, you'll know what it mean. If you aren't in the mood for a dessert, try the spanakopita. It's crispy, flaky outer texture filled warm spinach will keep you satisfied every bite of the way. It tastes just as good even when it's re-heated in the oven! The pie isn't available purchase until late morning. Seating is very limited, so be expected to order your goods to go! This local bakery is highly recommended and the owners are just as pleasant as their dessert! #athensbakery #teanecknj #cedarlane #spinachpie #baklava #spanakopita #brownies read more

Excellent kourabeides Greek holiday cookies. I always looked forward to Easter, when my grandpop would get these from the church, along with some spanikopita. The bakery looks unremarkable, the cookies, however are not. Delicious!! It brought back memories! The ladies behind the counter are very nice. They had the Easter bread that has the boiled eggs in it also, along with Italian cookies. Worth the trip. read more

Yesterday my friend was available to join me on my ongoing quest to try as many delicious bakeries within a 45 minute radius as possible. Lately I've been focusing on bakeries with an ethnic focus and Athens Bakery certainly fit the bill. This bakery is in a part of Teaneck that had reasonable parking. The shop itself is clean and features a great selection. The owners were very nice. I committed the error of arriving to a bakery while hungry. That said, I kept my order reasonable. I had to have the spanakopita and it certainly didn't disappoint. It was still warm and I had them slice a portion off for my friend. It was so buttery and flaky and the spinach and cheese filling was deliciously moist. Truly a great snack/lunch. I saved the baklava and assorted cookies for dessert after dinner. Their baklava is wonderful! Very tender and the honey is smooth and not sickly sweet. An excellent dessert. The powdered sugar cookies were a great texture and the twist cookies are great with tea! Athens Bakery is worthy of a return! read more

Can't say enough about this mom and pop bakery. Haven't been here since pre COVID and it's still delicious! DON'T FORGET CASH OR CHECK ONLY!!! Superfriendly owners are the staff that assists you. Their spanokopita is second to none! Specifically came to pick it up for brothers, sister, mom and mom's 90+ year old Greek friend. They were kind to wrap each in foil to transport and gift easier. Don't forget to grab a bunch of their white Greek cookies, Kourabiedes!!! You won't regret it! Next time, I'll have more cash and call ahead to make sure that they are prepared for my large order as everyone can't wait for me to grab more treats from Athens bakery!!! BTW, we were lucky to find this place. My brother was on the Munchmobile years ago and we've been coming ever since then! It's worth the drive. read more

Great little local shop in Teaneck. I discovered their napoleon cake and continue to order this cake for most celebrations. It's a flaky, buttery, puff pastry topped with fruit. Sweetness of the cream is not overly sweet so older members of my family prefer this cake since it's light and guilt free way to enjoy a sweet treat. read more

So happy I found this bakery through my church they were making Vasilopita for. This is a no frills, family owned, traditional Greek immigrant family bakery that sells very traditional Greek goods and traditional American as well. Everything is fresh and the Greek items are authentic. They sell the BEST kourambries I've ever had and their baklava is insanely good!!!! Very tasty, traditional and very well priced. read more

I get my nails done next to the bakery and had to bring dessert for my friend recovering from surgery and I remember the staff from Holy Name raving about their specialty cakes. I purchased a cheesecake and was immediately wowed. It was so light and tasty. I cannot wait to come back up to Teaneck for next nail appointment. read more

Small local mom and pop bakery... Everything is very good... The crushed nut cookies with the powdered sugar are amazing... Very fond of the apple turnovers with crumble topping... And the chocolate covered eclair with whipped cream. Have been going there for years read more

Amazing! I love creek food and dessert and took a chance at this bakery. Everything is amazing here! The owner is super helpful and friendly. He told me he and his wife make everything!

Our church did a fundraiser and they ordered Vasilopita (our new years tradition) from Athens Bakery. We are very disappointed that it was stale. We never got to finish it to see who would get the lucky coin. It didn't even look appetizing. The tsoureki we had at Easter was ok though. I forgot to mention that my youngest son found a fingernail in the vasilopita. read more

I want to this bakery to get a cake for my daughter 1st birthday..the place is nice and own by an old couple..the reason I gave a 2 star is they're not that great with baking cake and they don't know how to write on the cake.. read more

I ordered a cake for my husbands birthday. Over the phone I was given a price of $15 for a cake that feeds 5-8 people. I pick up the cake and on that day I can already see that the writing on the cake looked terrible. The woman continues to pack up the cake without showing me and asks for $20. I inform her of the price I was told and she told me they made the cake bigger so she's charging me more. I end up looking at the cake in the car and they spelled my husbands name wrong and didn't spell birthday correctly. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because the cake tasted amazing besides the terrible presentation. read more

Best chocolate chocolate cake ever!!! Had it the first time at Tracy's in Little Ferry (not open anymore) and just had to ask where I could get this cake and that is how I found Athens Bakery.

I've been coming here for birthday cakes since we were kids. I got married in a very intimate ceremony this past month and asked them to do our cake. The owner and his wife did a beautiful job for about 30 people. The cannoli cream flavor was out of this world. Everyone loved it. I cannot thank them enough for helping us and giving us a beautiful part of our wedding day. My only regret is not having a better picture of the cake from the actual reception.Thank you thank you! read more

I've lived in Teaneck since 1992, and I can't believe I have never stopped by Athens bakery. Thanks to to my colleagues at Holy Name Hospital, I found this little gem and met the owner, George. I have ordered cakes from him 4 times. Ive ordered the canoli and napoleon cakes, and everytime the cakes were licked clean to the icing by my family, friends and colleagues. He only accepts cash but for $30 for a sheet cake, I will gladly pay for it. He also puts aside bread and sweets everyday to give to the homeless. He's out on vacation in Greece right now, but I've already marked my calendar when he comes back on Aug. 23. Will definitely order from Athens bakery from now on. read more

Our go to cake for all occasions is the Napoleon cake from this bakery. A drug rep brought it for us for nurses week about two years ago and we've been hooked ever since. Buttery and flakey layers with whipped cream that isn't overly sweet, topped with fresh fruit and a thin layer of apricot glaze to prevent the fruits from drying out. DELICIOUS and to die for. This isn't stocked on the storefront shelves. I've always called 24 hours or more ahead of time to place an order. Owner is sweet and will customize the size to your needs. I am drooling as I'm writing this review! read more

This is not only the greatest Greek bakery, it is one of the greatest bakeries period. The owners are so hard-working and kind. Their spanikopita is second to none! I bring the individual sized ones to every party I go to. People rave about them!! Their baked goods are so super fresh and just the right amount of sweet. Some bakeries make everything disgustingly sweet. Athens adds just the right amount. I've never gotten anything from them that wasn't super delicious!! Definitely give this place a try. I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

The blueberry muffin. Large. Chewy just slightly burned top which is a good thing. Rest mostly blueberries. Best I ever had.
