Iced coffee pistachio
Mel R.

The service was kind. Wait wasn't too long. You were able to order inside then take it outside to eat. Where there is umbrellas for shade Food was a bit over priced. So come prepared to spend around 20 for a sandwich and a coffee

Ellinikon is a cute Greek market and coffee shop. My cousin and I stopped in for coffee. It was pretty busy on a Monday afternoon but we were able to find a two top inside. They have a nice sized patio out front, however most people were sitting inside. I ordered an Iced Caprice Cookie Butter Latte with Oat Milk. After I paid, the cashier handed me a mini bottle of water and informed me that all coffee purchases come with a free bottle of water. How nice! The latte was really good, but very sweet! It tasted better once it was stirred and I enjoyed the cinnamon stick that topped it. The market had an assortment of items like pastries, sandwiches, herbs, spices, olive oil, vinegar, and snacks. The pastries looked wonderful and I probably would have purchased one if we hadn't already eaten lunch. I love Greek food and would be here all the time if I lived in the area.

Good Casual Ambience - bright modern casual decor Good tasty food. Good service. Parking can be a challenge in this neighborhood.

Ellinikon is a hot spot in town. They moved from a smaller location to this bigger space and really amped it up. Beautiful patio with outdoor seating. Dog friendly patio with water bowls. Interior is all decked out with Christmas decorations. They offer a full drink menu in the European style. There is a pastry case and quick food menu. I had the turkey croissant and it was perfect. The pistachio latte is on their seasonal menu and it's so cute.

Still a great experience. Love my Greek mountain tea--perfect with lemon and mint. Spanakopita slices seemed as though they got bigger... a big plus! And tried a newbie... orange cake. It was calling my name, just looking perfect in the case... had to take a slice home. It was very tasty. My husband almost came back the next day for another slice. Thank you, Sriya, for going above and beyond in making the customer happy!

Vegan vegetable omelette
Olivia M.

I love this place. The service is friendly and you always know your drink will be made with care. Food is always fresh and consistent. The ambience matches the food, fresh, natural, and fun.

Yall I never write reviews, however I just knew I had to about this place. I'm truly blown away with not only the presentation of their food, also the way it tastes!! I had a multitude of different pastries (sweet and savory), each one exceeded my expectations 10 fold. If you're in Highland Park, NJ, YOU HAVE TO COME HERE!!!! Support a family business, straight from Greece!!

Pistachio LATTE
Lane S.

This place is great. Super cool coffee shop/diner ambience inside, and they have actually good vegan pastries. As someone who can't eat dairy and desperately misses flaky pastries, the vegan leek pastry really hit the spot. I tried a pistachio latte as well and it was so pretty and tasty. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd be back in a heartbeat.

This place is a hidden gem nestled in Highland Park which offers delicious and authentic Greek pastries and desserts which can be paired with a coffee. And, there's a market located inside of the shop to purchase products directly from Greece! I was greeted the moment I walked in and the service was superb - I felt so welcomed (as if I stepped foot into someone's home). If this was intentional, I loved it and hope they keep their inviting nature going. There aren't many cafes like this around, and I hope that this one is here to stay.

Pistachio Baklava
Pamela L.

I would come back here again and again just for their Pistachio Baklava. I don't know where they get their honey that was drizzled and incorporated into the baklava but Oooooh myyyyy goodness, I couldn't stop raving about it with every bite. It's flaky, filled with tons of pistachios, not overly sweet, AND THAT HONEY!!!! It was all about that honey for me. There are many other wonderful yummy pastries (sweet & savory) on display as well. I have my eye on a few for next time. All the drinks we ordered were crafted perfectly. My son loved his pistachio mocha latte, said he could taste the pistachio. I loved my hot Coconut Matcha. I'll probably go down their entire drink menu one by one in my future visits. We were also enjoying the Fleetwood Mac tracks that were playing inside the shop. Lots of seating inside and out. It's a popular coffee spot. Many Greek imported products for sale as well inside this shop. Service was friendly! Seriously though...that honey!!! Lol.

Lindsey R.

Wow wish we had tried this market sooner! What a cute spot to grab some Greek treats, breakfast or lunch. Lots of drink choices, omelets or delicious lunch options. We tried the meat gyro, falafel gyro and a bunch of desserts. The pitas were warm with the perfect chew. Falafel had good spices that were balanced with the hummus.

Love this coffee shop! They have parking which is a huge perk especially being so close to New Brunswick! Their coffee is super strong and there's tons of space inside if you want to work from the restaurant. I had an iced latte and didn't order any food but will be returning to try some. The staff is also super friendly and will recommend things if you're debating on what to get. I would say my experience here was better than your usual big corporation Starbucks stores so check them out!

I've been coming here since they were in their other location in this plaza. I like the variety of…read moredesserts that they have and most of the ones we've tried have been pretty good. Service could be slow depending on when you go and what you order. Because of how packed it is, I normally order take out. There isn't really a huge space to wait for your order and normally there are a lot of families waiting in the same space for a seat so it might get really crowded, so beware of that. My go to here is the Mango Sticky Rice smoothie. I would definitely recommend that. I will come back to try more of their desserts and report back.

If you're a mango lover, this is the spot you need to try. They offer plenty of other desserts and…read moredrinks too, but I usually go straight for the mango, coconut, jelly, and mixed fruit dessert. Honestly, I love everything I've tried here. The mango sticky rice is delicious, and the crepes are just as good. I've worked my way through almost the entire menu--and yes, I'll definitely be back for more. There's indoor seating, and in the summer you can sit outside as well. The staff is friendly, quick to seat you, and gets your order in fast. They even have an app where you can collect points and earn free desserts. Overall, it's the best dessert shop in the area--and lucky for me, it's close by... or unlucky, since I'm trying not to give myself diabetes. My advice: enjoy, but in moderation!

This dessert shop offers authentic Taiwanese treats featuring grass jelly, tofu pudding, taro mochi balls, red bean soup, and the aforementioned shaved ice, along with egg waffles, various teas and other beverages. The limited edition summer osmanthus series caught my eye, so I went for an osmanthus milk shaved ice, infused with condensed sweetened milk and osmanthus syrup, a cloud of almond tofu pudding on top, with mochi balls, red beans, and lychee jelly tucked around the base. The flavor of the cool fluffy shaved ice is subtly sweet, lightly creamy, with just a hint of floral, and the snow melts on your tongue. The osmanthus flavor is not very strong or fragrant, however, though I've never had successful encounters with commercial osmanthus-flavored things outside of Asia, as it's a very distinctive and delicate taste that's also one of my favorite scents and culinary condiments, so I'm very particular about its faithfulness. We ordered a large since it's only $1 more than the medium, so practically begs one to order the oversized version, which is enough for 2+ people to share. But why so enormous? How about offering a personal sized one for a little less? Premium as the ingredients are, $18 feels like a lot for shaved ice. Between us two adults and one small child we couldn't finish it, but I double dog dare you to try. It was good though, and satiated my craving for a proper milk snow dessert.

I funny enough heard about this in…read morepassing and not long after, spotted this place in the same shopping center as the 99 Ranch in Edison and I made a pit stop there (hence no drinks) before going on a grocery run. It was at night on a Saturday so many of the shelves were empty but they still had a few things left. Sunmerry appears to be a chain but one that I have never visited before until now so I can't really comment on what they have, but I did manage to grab: MATCHA CLOUD DONUT - This reminded me vaguely of the im donut donuts I tried in NYC. Very soft and pillowy and filled to the brim with a lightly sweet, matcha filling. I honestly don't have anything negative to say about this. RED BEAN MATCHA BAGEL - it's a matcha dough with red bean filling BUT the filling doesn't go all the way around. It goes maybe 65% so if you're splitting this with someone like I did, fingers crossed you both get a decent amount. The bagel was soft and in a bagel shape but it lacked the chew of a bagel. The filling was nice and different but the matcha taste was subtle - if that. Overall, liked the idea, but I wanted more of a bagel chew than what I got and to taste the matcha better. Maybe even have a more even share of the red bean. COFFEE BRIOCHE LOAF - my husband liked this one! Which is good because I got it for him. This is quite good. Soft, lightly sweet with a coffee top. We ate this maybe 12 hours after and much of the top layer had "melted" and gotten on the cellophane but it was still delicious. Perfection. I definitely scraped off the coffee bits from the cellophane so it didn't go to waste. PINEAPPLE BUN W/ MILK - I grabbed this one thinking there was a filling inside and there wasn't. I don't know if the bun was placed in the wrong location or the name is telling me the bun isn't vegan but it's a good pineapple bun but without anything inside, it was a tad dry. Maybe it needs a pat of butter like they do in HK. MELON PAN - I haven't had this in a good long while so I got it for fun. It's smaller than the pineapple bun and the topping is a little sweeter - I remember crunching on sugar crystals. It's not bad but also not filled so it's a tiny bit on the dry side. The place has tables to the side where you can enjoy your goodies. I didn't stay too long but they definitely serve drinks and delicious cakes as well. The staff were nice and the place seemed on the dim side. Fingers crossed I can go back during the day to get a better idea of what they have! In the meantime, this is a good place for an Asian bakery fix. They do list out ingredients under the names of their baked goods so that's awesome! From what I could see, their baked goodies are likely not vegan or gluten-free friendly, though...
