excellent experience, all-around! after enduring a…read morelunchtime wasted at a nearby restaurant (mama's place), I made sure to not to follow one folly after another, and checked yelp for a spot to get dessert. I left lunch hungry and with little time to spare before tarpon springs closed its businesses for the night. there were several bakeries on the area's main drag, which were (literally) lined up out the door. while the goods inside looked tasty from the outside, lunch now had me all the wiser. a long line and an appealing window display offered no insight on the taste of the goods inside. I found national bakery nestled on a little side road. there was no line, no frills. when you step inside, though, you'll be greeted by a baker who has been serving fantastic baked goods with superior customer service at incredibly fair prices -for decades. the woman who helped us was SO incredibly friendly. she stayed open late just to answer our questions about the area -after having already served us some of the most delicious baked goods I've ever had. I'd recommend going for the goodies, the friendly conversation, and old world atmosphere. skip the lines and overpriced, overhyped "show" goods.... spend your money and time on food you won't forget.

Stopped in for some baklava and the woman behind the counter gave us a Lil history lesson /tour of…read morethe bakery with all the old machinery and tables used since the beginning! It was very neat to see how the pastries and breads were Made, and the old table built into the ground. The baklava (and all the other pastries we picked up) were delightful.

Copenhagen Café is one of those places that deserves a lot more attention than it gets…read more It's a great spot to grab a coffee or tea, catch up with a friend, read a book, or play a game (they have several available). The gelato is delicious, and the bakery case feels like something you'd stumble across in Denmark. One thing I've always appreciated is how welcoming they are to local teens. Whether they're stopping in to study, meet friends, or just hang out, the staff has always been accommodating and kind. I've also had dinner there a handful of times, and everything I've ordered has been delicious. This place tends to fly under the radar, but it really shouldn't. It's a charming local gem with great food, great drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere that keeps people coming back.

Haven't been in the area for several years so stopped by for a snack…read more Ordered a cafe breve, honey lavender flat white, pistachio pie, and elephant foot. All we're tasty and fresh. Staff were friendly and helpful. The feel is a little different than my previous visit, where it felt distinctly more European, but that's not a complaint, just an observation. Nice place with good coffee and treats for a quick afternoon pick-me-up. Go here! Drink coffee! Shop local!

Tiny restaurant with a wonderful array of Greek dishes that are both authentic and comforting…read more There's a casual seating area where you can enjoy your meal, making it a perfect spot for both a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner. The service at Fournos Bakery was interesting to say the least... but I won't let that impact my experience. Greek fries were nasty, soaked in oil.

They have great bread. If it's the day old bread, it's only $1. They have some cookies, but it's…read morelimited. The cookies with almond paste are $4, and it's just not worth it. Only some items have prices, so it's hard to know what they are charging. Make sure to ask so you don't get a rude surprise like we did. There are better bakeries around there.

Solid 5 Stars for Orange Cycle Creamery. Was in the area recently on vacay and was in the mood for…read morea little ice cream after dinner and Orange Cycle was highly recommended. It's definitely a bit of a ride from where we were staying but was it worth the ride?! 110%. The shop is cute and little but quaint and fits the Tarpon vibe quite well. It was a little crowded but nothing out of the ordinary for busy. The girl who took care of us was super friendly and super helpful while selecting our ice creams. Will I be back? Absolutely. Next time I'm in the Tampa area.

I really liked Parthenon! I swear it was one of my best meals all week since I haven't been feeling…read morewell. We ordered a few appetizers including saganaki, calamari, and broiled octopus. Of course the saganaki and Octopus was the best. We also ordered gyros, pork souvlaki, and a fried cod fish sandwich. My order was the pork souvlaki! It was really good. The tzatiki sauce stood out as different than I have had at other places. Our service was impeccable. Our server was very cheerful. The owner was cheerfully inviting people in for lunch or dinner! He was really nice and funny too. We can't help but be happy that this restaurant is dog friendly, and nicely shaded! This is a fun Greek Choice on the Sponge Docks right next to the Sponge Exchange and across the street from the Sponge boats on the water.

Spent a few hours in Tarpon Springs and we needed to eat. Being that most of the restaurants there…read moreare so similar (Greek area, greek food), we happened to walk past Parthenon and decided this was it. It is a little cheesily decorated. Big murals and fake brassy gold items. Our server was ok, seemed a little put off to be working, but no outright issues. The restaurant seemed to fill up more the longer we dined and kept the servers busier. Food was good, portion sizing being the pro here. Meat in my gyro was plentiful. Taste was good too. Other ordered flatbreads and again they filled a whole large plate. Cant say they were the best ingredients, but filled us up. Overall ok experience. Maybe for a more authentic meal try somewhere nearby.
